Finaly finished Outlaw Star...OK, anything I might have said at the start is a total missjudgement. This show is feckin' AWSOME! Yes, even the ever annoying Aisha became somewhat tolerable by the end and the conclusion to Gene's character development is amongst the best I can see in a 90's anime. My one ditraction would be the stupidity of the villeins and the fact that this was released very closely to Cowboy Bebop which deal's with the core genre is a much more adult and well rounded fashion. So, basicly. If Cowboy Bebop is the gormet feast from Heston blooming Blumenthal of beautiful art, characters, and rich story lines. Then Outlaw Star is Frankie and Bennies. Very good, but why settle for average? I hope it get's a reboot/ continuation SOME day, because the potential is there and there is a strong enough fan base, so maybe it's possible.
