Amazon.com: Like the dashing desperado in an old Hollywood Western, rhinestone-in-the-rough Gene Starwind is a self-proclaimed outlaw who lives by a personal code of ethics. His sphere of action is limited to the two-bit planet where he lives with his friend and business partner Jim Hawking, until rebel pirate "Hot Ice" Hilda arrives. She gives Jim and Gene the super-ship, the Outlaw Star, and tells them about a fabulous treasure hidden at the Galactic Leyline. The duo sets off, accompanied by beautiful assassin Suzuka, Malfina, an android who bonds with the ship's fussy computer, and, later, the abrasive alien Aisha Clanclan of the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire. They face some nasty enemies: the Kei Pirates, the MacDougall brothers (Harry, a psychotic cyborg, and Ron, a sadistic human), and Lord Hazanko of the 108 Stars pirate gang. The expedition to the enigmatic planet Galactic Leyline becomes a four-way race that pits Gene and his crew against Hazanko, the MacDougals, and a Ctarl-Ctarl battle cruiser. At the Leyline, Gene, Malfina, and Suzuka confront the pasts that shaped their identities. Katsuhiko Chiba's screenplay sometimes staggers, like Gene the morning after a heavy night. But the characters remain true to their natures: they don't turn into smarmy good guys, and Outlaw Star delivers an engaging, if rather dark brand of comedy-adventure. The cleanup artists on the series do very sloppy work: Gene's features change noticeably from scene to scene. Rated 13 Up: Nudity, profanity, sexual humor, and violence. --Charles Solomon
one of the best animes of all time. ^ i am always a sucker for a space anime and outlaw star is one of the best out there. the story line is amazing, the characters are lovebul, the dub and the japanese are both amazing, and the music is good. one of the besy shows to ever show on toonami. i really loved outlaw star. if you have not seen this you should. you will not be sorry.
Love it ^ Great show, in a great set. I love that the whole thing is on only 6 discs.
One of the Best! ^ I bought this series last July. I would like to say that it is one of the best anime series that I have ever watched. The whole space theme, and characters is perfect. The box set is very nice and comes with 6 disk. This is definetly worth the time and money to watch.
A+++
the star collection ^ i loved the outlaw star anime ever since it came out on toonami. and when i found the box set, i was really happy. the set includes the original three volumes, which contain 9 episodes each and a cool black box which holds all three. the only reason that i gave it a 4 star rating is because i think the box is not sturdy enough and it didnt come wit a poster or any other special extras. overall a good anime and i would reccomend this for purchase.
Old school Toonami memories ^ Its been about four maybe five years since Ive seen Outlaw Star, back when Cartoon Network used to have a decent lineup of Animes on their Toonami Block. Seeing the series again, (uncut) is awesome. You never would imagine how much it was edited for tv until you see this version. This boxed set itself couldnt be simpler, three dvd cases and two discs in each case. Nice compact box too.
If your a fan of good space action and characters that grow on you, you should check this out.
