Meet the reincarnations of Lina Inverse (if you dont know who that is, you are behind the times) and some of the crew from the good old days of slayers.
Lost universe is not related to slayers, that is, except for name similarities and personality parallels.
This show is a comical space adventure revolving around three characters who are mercenaries more or less. In the show they are called Contractors i believe, they go around taking jobs so they can feed themselves.
There isn't really a plot in the beginning but as you get into more, secrets are revealed and plot comes out. dont expect a wowing plot, this show is for entertainment and a good time.
The animation is very good, and the use of CGI mixed in is done very well. The style is very typical anime.
Unfortunately i have only seen the dub version, but the voices are actually well matched and they did a good job. Although Millie can get annoying at times.
The characters are all very likable, they will definitely grow on you and you get some depth out of them, but not a whole lot. The farther in you go, the more serious things get from tone to actually story, but there is always room for the comic relief.
The ideas and concepts of the show are all very cool and interesting, the show just doesn't utilize them for an epic space show. despite that, this show is very good, if you liked slayers, you will definitely like this. read more

A simple sf story about a young boy a young girl and a extremely cute computer.(one of my favorites characters ever)
Soon they will became friends and companions while defeat the enemy on board a spaceship, more less in a similar way, the plot is repetitive and predictable some times.
The anime tries to make the relationship between the characters deeper but it fails. In the end the interaction between the characters is childish.
The ships design isn't so bad but nothing special, scenery is really bad but since most of the time you won't notice the background it's OK, the bad dynamics of the vehicles made me difficult to really get absorbed by the story.
There are also good things I like not feeling stupid for not understand a new philosophy based on the thoughts of one of the characters, and I almost forgot it make me cough. No, not cough! laugh.
I enjoyed because I like adventure anime, because... I will never hold the controls of a space ship; not to mention in the presence of a goddess and a cute blondie fighting with me facing the future, writing my own destiny bla bla bla
That's all Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Swordbreaker airlines, Captain Suso and the crew members hope you have a pleasant flight. Please don't forget to put your seats in the upright position and fasten your seat belt; there is no need of live jackets in a spaceship but if you need one below your seat please feel free to ask cabin personal and you'll get your dose of sleeping pills. Thanks again for flying with us.
I hope you enjoy as much as I do read more

Both have similar:
*Concept
*Feeling
*Space ship
*Character
*Universe
I think Outlaw Star is better because it's better done and has a more serious plot.

LU and Slayers are set in the same Metaverse, being on worlds parallel to each other. LU's Universe crosses over into Slayers in TRY. Made by the same creator, and holds much of the same style of humor as Slayers does, except in a Sci-Fi setting instead of Fantasy
