Outlanders

This was my first anime ever when i was a child and i really have grown fond of it. It's very sci fi and yet theres comedy and romance if you love old animes for sure you'll like this one.There's some delightful characters in this anime. It also is a very good manga .
The music in the anime is pretty good to.

Though the manga was very well written and illustrated, this adaptation was very insulting to it. The story was rushed and contained very few connections to the manga. Many of the important characters did not even appear in the anime. Many of the important story points were also absent. Earth barely had a cameo even though it was where half of the story took place. The ending, though less sad, is still far from the manga. Overall, if you have read the manga and loved it, stay away from this OVA.

This is an old OVA that follows the short promote-the-manga format, so it depicts only a glimmer of the source material and clocks in under an hour. It functions as a pilot, doesn't end altogether unsatisfactorily, and they at least finish what appears to be a whole arc, though character development and backstory were most likely heavily excised.

Outlanders is a gorier and raunchier b-movie version of Urusei Yatsura, more or less. Yasuomi Umetsu brings the ketchup in the earlier scenes, and there are plenty of lewd jokes and botched sex scenes, as this is an ecchi rather than a hentai. It's one of those ... stories where two different alien races intend to marry each other so as to usher in peace rather than war and genocide. It's actually kind of gross considering how many of their own people they kill willy-nilly, often for laughs (this is what really tends to be very off-putting about these John Lennon COME TOGETHER-esque scripts).

Kahm looks like Lum from UY, only I'd describe her hair as gator-colored here, she has more obtrusive demon girl horns, and her face has this squashed look that's kind of an ugly hallmark of the character designer. The main character is generic enough that it would be impossible to spot him in a lineup if you watched this thing 100 times. We're graced with a cat girl as well, who has third degree bestiality with a burly cat man. I don't know the proper degree, but I imagine it's not as egregious if you're a cat girl... the little hobbit lizards are kind of amusing as gag characters, but their writing is just the same old sex joke over and over.

The opening sequence is pretty entertaining, as is the sword fight between Kahm and cat-ears. Good-enough storyboarding and directing and sometimes pretty decent animation, but the quality is inconsistent and spotty, and i wouldn't say there are too many highlights beyond what I've outlined, and there's certainly better elsewhere for all of the animators that I'm familiar with who worked on this production.

There's really nothing too terribly noteworthy to point out, other than the goofy fight scene between catboi and the main: the outcome was obvious, and the main was just doing the Ivanhoe-styled chivalry of "I will simp for thee to the death to protect thy honor, fair maiden" thing for a girl he's known for about an hour (who tried to kill him once during that hour). It's a totally pointless scene, and they were already fugitives INSIDE the fortress they needed to escape from. Talk about priorities. Everything else just screams of rush-job or cliche, and you can expect the writing to be unmemorable in all respects.
