OtakuSennen Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Ah, yes, Outlaw Star.. That is one great anime.. ^_^ The plot was great and the action was muy bueno. If you're into space cowboy stuff like Bebop and Trigun, you'll like Outlaw Star. (Cartoon Network got rights to all of them at once a few years back) But be warned: There is one episode that was not aired on US television due to seeing.. A lot of things.... X_X And Melfina (a bio-mechanical android) doesn't have any clothing on sometimes.. Let's just say that that along with some more thematic elements makes this much more of a rated-R series if you're buying the DVDs. But I would definitely reccomend it. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest redtwo Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I thought it was good. The characters are fun and the premise is unique. It is certainly one fun ride. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_Hawking Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Outlaw Star, an action comedy with dashes of adventure, drama, and of course somewhat irritating characters. I have the last 8 episodes on DVD, best move I've ever made. Basically, what everyone before has said is accurate. As you can tell, this is one of my favorite anime. So this opinion is slightly biased. If I were you, I'd buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braidless Baka Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Personally I think, yes Outlaw Star is a great anime, but the dubbed version was one of the worst I've seen. If you're planning on getting the DVD you'll see what I mean. I, personally, couldn't force myself through the dub, Gene and Jim expecially were destroyed in the dubbed version. But buy it, see what you think ^_^ I loved it as a series!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japan Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I love Outlaw Star. I think that it is very funny and a must buy. It is really cool and exciting. The forbidden episode, The HotSprings of Planet Tenrei, is very funny and awesome. It is forbidden because Cartoon Network refused to play it. That is one of my favorite episodes. I also love the opening theme song, and the first ending theme song. You ought to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T man Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I would rekemend it because it has agood plot and some good music in the show and on the sound tracks. I mosty liked it for the ship and gun fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 From what I've seen of it, it is a really good series, but be warned, there are some episodes where the girls don't wear much, or anything in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 The dub wasn't THAT horrible. It was not well done but it was still entertaining. But that shows you how great the show is, if it can still come out of a horrible dub looking cool, it must do something right. I highly reccomend it. It has humor,action and drama. The music is also excellent. Both the opening and both ending themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Ed Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 The shows really good like most people say if you like Trigun or Cowboy beebop or both yah get it its awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gettles Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Its just a good all around show. Good story, good chacters, good action, good humor, good dub(in my opinion). Nothing great, just good. And the fact that the box set is only $80 makes it worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Ahh, Outlaw Star. It is indeed a very good anime, not my favorite of course, but deffinitly a solid buy (from experience). I'd put it right behind Evangelion on my list of favorite animes, and would recommend it to people who like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. It is a very nice blend of adventure, action, and comedy genres, and I've enjoyed it a lot.

Yes, I'm watching that right now. Anyway, the point isn't to show that I know a lot about Outlaw Star or something, but the entire reason that they didn't show it on CN is because of the mature themes, due to a few parts, but they are entirely covered up on my DVDs save for maybe a quick moment of the cat woman, whatever her name is. They never show Melfina without her clothes on anyway, so I diagree about that R rating, but perhaps a PG-13 for suggestive themes, lol.

NashvilleDream Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Outlaw Star is a great anime, and the music is addicting. i've still got melfina's song stuck in my head, even after not seeing it in ovet three years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotsuma Otaku Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Outlaw Star is the coolest, was one of the first anime series I ever watched.

Dragonball Z/DBGT Outlaw Star Rurouni Kenshin Fooly Cooly Trigun And I think Blue Gender is about to make the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Fou Lu Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 even though i've seen very little of outlaw star (only 2 episodes in total :() i still thought it was cool and i would give it a 5 out of 5 :) but they stoppped showing it over here :( the only thing i didn't like about this anime was that sometimes some of the characters wouldn't be wearing clothes. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Star was the first anime series I entirel watched. I liked it so much, I snuck out of bed every night to watch it on the old Toonami Midnight Run. Some of the dubbing actually made me laugh at how stupid it sounded. Gene yelling "Moron!!!!" twice an episode had me on the floor everytime. All in all, this anime is very well put together. The balance of humor, action, and drama kept me watching for hours on end. I now own the whole series on DVD (thanks mom ^_^). I would recommend it to Cowboy Bebop and Trigun fans, but if you really look into it, I swear there is a little of every anime in there. ~Lumi ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Outlaw star is a good series and I do think it is a good buy. I think it is probably even one of my fav anime series too. Hope you all enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kyoto Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hi! Sorry if my message-board profile isn't very good, but I've only recently re-joined. I think Outlaw Star is great, but I haven't watched it in a while. I taped all the episodes off CNX when they were showing it. It was worth it, since it's always there if I want to watch it. If its not on any TV network you have I would buy it, I think its worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondershot Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I would recommend Outlaw Star to anyone who likes both light hearted humour, as well as the more serious protagonist vs. antagonist conflicts. You usually see two different types of battles. The first is usually quite slow moving, as the ships battle each other at long range with missiles, there are parts in the middle of combat where the characters talk, and then there is the faster paced grappler combat, where the ships increase in speed and actually fight at the rate of any martial arts choreography movie. Apparently you can tell the difference between the comedic episodes and the more serious ones because they are drawn by different artists. The music quality is great too, and I highly reccomend it in general. As for the questionable episode, Hot Springs Planet Tenrei, I agree that it is very R rated, with suggestive themes including the cat girl (Aisha) naked, as well as a scene at the end where a young woman makes a dirty video for Gene (you don't see much though). If you want to avoid it, you can just skip it over, since the episode was taken off CN, it doesn't have much to do with the story, it's just a vacation episode. On the other hand, it is really funny, so if you or your parents don't have a problem with it, it's good for a laugh. Uh, I guess that's it, enjoy if you get it!

Assassin Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 [size=1][color=crimson] Hmm Outlaw Star was showed on cartoon network along time ago I think during the times 5 -7 p.m I have saw I think about all the episodes except a few here and there. I dont much like watching it now because I know what happens to gene. Plus I just thought it was cool about the rare cells :D [/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick Fairy Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Ah, Outlaw Star. While it was on Toonami/old Adult Swim, I must´ve seen it about ten times. The songs are really good, and I also rather like the animation. True, the dubbing could´ve been better, but it really wasn´t THAT terrible. It is definitely rewatchable, so I´d say go ahead, buy it. As for the "forbidden" episode (#23), I haven´t seen it, so I wouldn´t know. I heard it was rather suggestive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 oh yea, Outlaw Star is great, i wish they would put it on adult swim along w/all the other great animes. its been a while since i have seen outlaw star, but it was always something to look forward to watching after school.
