Outlaw Star

In my opinion, Outlaw Star is one of the greatest anime series that have ever been made. While I have seen only the English dubbed version, I hear nothing but rave reviews of the original (which is for mature audiences only due to language and sexual innuendo.) The characters are wonderful and unique, and the plot has a purpose, not to mention above average animation. What more can you ask for?

Ive watched many a anime show and movies. This show should be one of the greats. I started watching this when Toonami was featuring it and DBZ at midnight. I became addicted to DBZ and OS until they changed the line up to Big O (rotten show). So I went out and bought the series on DVD. Im not sure how much more is in the Japanese version, but the English dub is fairly edgy. I didnt realize how much Cartoon Network had edited.

Considering some of the other anime, its fairly tame. Aside from the language (which doesnt get much worse than pg-13)and fight scenes, there is only one nude scene of Aisha ClanClan, and it lasts very briefly. This is a show I would love to introduce this show to my future children.

Outlaw Star is on my top 5 list of favourite anime's even though I've only seen like 14 episodes which I have all taped on video due to Toonami having them on at 4 in the morning.

Overall what I've seen is superb this is a fantastic anime, what I like about anime in the adventure genre they always have great characters which you fall in love with, light hearted comedy, great drama and fantastic action sequences (I'm not reffering to every action adventure based anime by the way just most I've seen are like this).

Outlaw Star never gets boring I find myself being able to watch all the episodes I have over and over and never get sick off them.

10 out of 10 (for what I've seen)

P.S This is a longshot but if the boss of Toonami is reading I know a pile off people who would constantly watch your channel if you scraped all the rubbish shows like Teen Titans, Chris Colarado, He-Man The Masters off the Universe, Batman of the Future, Duel Masters, Beyblade etc. and put stuff like Trigun, Tenchi Muyo, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Excel Saga and all the anime classics on.

and this anime is still just plain awesome. i've seen the dubbed version and its great. this thing doesn't have an expiration date. the only thing you could argue that seems a little old is the animation, however thats still hardly noticeable.

in my opinion, the story has a unique flow. each episode can be watched separately without a problem. however, each episode is still connected somehow to the previous one, so they flow into each other. it almost seems like the whole show is one big arc.

characters are plain awesome. each character has a unique role which they play out in the overall story. i won't say much. you'll just have to discover them for yourself. :)

anyway, great show. lots of action and sci-fi. a little romance even. there is some comedy in it, but its not the laugh-out-loud type. its more like the funny-situation type. its all good.

btw, if you like this show make sure to check out "Cowboy Bebop." trust me on this one. :)

Outlaw Star is in short, an excellent series. The characters are good and the story line is too as far as many Animes go. Some characters such as Aisha Klanklan are classics and should be remembered long after you watch the series. Overall the English dub is also excellent with good voice actors picked and one or two even better than the original Japanese actors (Aisha). Watch it. You will NOT be disappointed :o)
