They are both set in space and both deal with crime and adventure. Also the animation style is similar.
Space cowboys anyone? Although at heart these two anime are completely different, they both have themes involving space, bounty hunting and drifting along in life.
Fun to watch, adventurous space headhunters anime . Can't beat Cowboy Bebop , but very entertaining =P
I feel as if these two anime are very simular. Mainly because its about the world in the future. Spaceships etc. The other reason would partically be because there both quite serious anime while having mild humour bits through the series. The main character in both series also have very simular personalitys being very good fighters while having a rather laid-back attituted. If you liked either of these animes i'd recommend watching the other.
-Dwayne :)
Both are in a sense space vigilantees who refuse to coform by the world's standards; but instead find their own way. Both shows also offer the establishment of comfortable life on other planets. Infact, I have never met anyone that saw Cowboy Bebop that didn't like Outlaw Star or vice-versa.
Both share the genre of sci-fi. The comedic appeals are evident in both shows and the characters make the plot and action all lively.
Both of these anime are set in a sci-fi universe and they each have an adventurous feel to them. Although, Cowboy Bebop has a slightly more gritty flavor to it than Outlaw Star does. The two series each have their own memorable characters and in the end most people that enjoy one would probably like the other.
They both have a similar cast of characters such as Gene and Spike being the main characters, Jim and Aisha forming a mixture of Ed while Suzuka resembles the personality of Faye.
Their mech action is alot alike whether it be the characters are using guns and swords or fighting in spacecrafts.
They both originally aired in 1998.
And the two of these shows are seinen, targeted towards the older viewers.
like gun blazing bounty hunters in space? Not many old school animes can hold a candle to something like cowboy bebop but this is very similar and surprisingly very very good as well.
Both space oriented. Cool and funny characters. Yada yada yada
A grand mix of the freelancer attitude, the sense of adventure, the comedy and shear awe of space travel.
same themes (bounty hunters,space).both are about a crew traveling in outer space.the 2 are named after the spaceships.both have one hacker in their crew.
Both series focus on a man who is wondering in space,looking for some quick money ,and kicking some butt.Cowboy bebop is more stylish and Outlaw star is more funny
both are tottaly worth seeing
Both cover a similar topic of a lone bounty-hunter with a small crew iin space, trying to make a buck where ever they can. Both start out this just one episode stories, but soon spread into the main story arc.
Both have stellar bounty hunters, explosive battles, and femme fatales.
Both are about space bounty hunters dealing with space pirates and criminals. Both are very exciting and have great characters. Most people probably already know this but I have to throw it out there. They are both great series.
Both have a ship...hunt bounties...cool intro/outro...outlaw star is like the offspring of cowboybebop
Bounty Hunters, Bounty Hunters, Bounty Hunters! in the future of course!
Both involves bounty hunting to make ends needs and drifting from planet to planet doing odd jobs here and there to get by. Plus, both ships are old and run downed heaps of scrap.
Of course the main similarity is that it's in space :P It also tells a similar story of Outlaws that have a strict moral code. There is a lot of action like Bebop and the storytelling is very similar.
A 'space cowboy' show. Albeit not nearly as mature or profound, Outlaw Star excels in its mastery of numerous genres, switching from comedy to psychological to action within minutes, yet with a skill and flow that few series can match.
Both involve an eclectic cast of characters traversing the galaxy and having misadventures. Both are episodic in structure.
Both Anime Series are about a group of bounty hunter flying around in space and doing their thing. Of course Outlaw star is not as good as Bebop but if you want something similar to bebop then check out Outlaw star
Both Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop involve a crew and their spaceship
Both Main Characters are Good at handling situations
Both stories involve the crew of the ship and several mini-adventures as they travel
The stories are different, but the level of satisfaction is very good from both
Both animes have Major swag
The two are alot alike in my opinion.
The space adventure is the main theme of these anime. Also both have include a bit of comedy and drama component.
-Both series take place in the future in outer space
-Both feature a male main protagonist
-Both series have a ship and a crew
-Both series have a good mix of humor and serious moments

If you like Outlawstar! then you must like Trigun!! =D
After watching Outlaw Star, Trigun was the next anime i moved on to. They both have a sense of adventure and comedic attitude throughout. Similarities lie between things like both being set in space, bounty hunting and all the trouble the characters get in and out of.
The characters in both animes have similar personalities and attitudes too.
motifs feel somewhat similar...
art style (not artist style) also feel similar...
Both are science fiction...
both have a western frontier feel to them...
The two shows are 90's action-adventure comedies where a small group travel around, eventually having a cabal of ultra-elite assassins trying to kill them.

Similar character setting, older brother, younger boy, a girl or 2 at the side. They both inherit some universe beating machines and go far and wide throughout the universe for a girl.
- Main characters piloting a red piece of machinery that exceed the potential of all other ships
- A younger guy following around some older guy calling him his aniki
- a soft spoken girl who first appears encased in a box
- a homosexual who handles ship parts
- a vicious furry who tries to kill the main characters but ends up as part of the crew
It's practically the same thing.
Outlaw Star has a similar character structure and epic battles, with a less whiny kid sidekick!
Remarkably similar crisp art styles, camera angles, themes (doing crazy stuff, exceeding expectations, pumping music, melee combat in space, having a unique ship, etc) make it a sure-thing that if you like one, you'll like the other.
A story of dreams and hope. oH yeah Lots of space action and mechs

Almost the same setup and story goal. They are both about a crew going through space and looking for a certain location to fulfill a life long goals.
Outlaw star revolves around protagonist Gene Starwind and his crew of an inherited ship dubbed the Outlaw Star, as they search for a legendary treasure called the "Galactic Leyline". The story has space crime syndicate that will do anything to get the treasure and Gene being a bounty hunter / delivery boy / bodyguard and what not with attitude will not take 2nd place. It has a lot of great action and character development that is again one of those anime that slipped under the radar for some people that once discovered will appreciate the gem this series is. Highly recommended.

Everyone is forgetting the similarities between Neon Genesis Evangelion and Outlaw Star. Both animes was release upon about the same century and era, both have meccas, both the storyline and plot pretty much takes place in space. What more can you ask for? These 2 animes reminded me of each other when I saw anime for the first time when I was little.
half way idk how to say it but they both just look good together lol

Angel Links is a spin-off to Outlaw Star and takes place in the same universe. The Angel Links members Valeria and Duuz first appeared in Outlaw Star.

Main character (also macho) finds strange girl. From other sides difference 500%!!!' And Outlaw Star really recommended.
|
|
|
Great plot, superb charaters, and a quest for knownlegde/power/ self discovery.
Big O has everything that makes a show great.
|
|
|
Space, Space Battles, Mysterious Characters, and the same general type of feel. Each are unique on its own, but similar in set up.
|
|
|
If you're looking for absurd and hilarious adventures with eccentric characters, wacky weapons and visual jokes, then both of these shows seem to fit the bill - only one's steampunk and the other's space opera.
|
|
|
If you like action and comedy, then you'll like this show. Outlaw Star is sci-fi, while Kenshin is more of a historical samurai deal, but you'll definitely notice a similar feel between the two.
|
|
|
Both series have humor, a hint of fanservice, serious moments and a ton of action. Outlaw star takes the path of a space-age protagonist on a quest which ends in an epic battle. Check it out!

Space adventures, wild shootouts, and enemies that make u think: WTH is that thing??? mixed with comedy moments, which differ because both are like 16/17 years apart from each other but still enjoyable!
|
|
|
Both are very much fun to watch and have a rag tag team that will blow your mind!

I'm kinda surprised no one recommended this. Outlaw Star is about pirates and a treasure hunt just like Mars Daybreak. To compare the two: Outlaw Star does not technically have "Mechs" but the star ships are sorta mechs themselves. I would say that if Mars Daybreak had the more complex story line like Outlaw Star does they would be mirrors of each other just in different universes. Most of Mars Daybreak seemed to developed the love relationship over the quality of the story line. Outlaw Star develops the story line with a quieter approach to the love interests. Overall I would say Mars Daybreak is the little brother to Outlaw Star.

Both of these have a really similar sort of atmosphere, I can't really put my finger on it, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the art, the futuristic Western setting, and the comedy thrown in to each episode.

One male in a ship full of females. Same thing.
|
|
|
Basically people just going around trying to get cash.
|
|
|
Both main characters take odd jobs if the pay is right. Both shows offer plenty of gun slinging; though DMC is quite gory, keep that in mind.

Both Mobile Suit Gunadm 00, and Outlaw Star have the meccha type anime and plot takes place in mostly from a galaxy far far away in outer space, =P. Not really but you get the whole concept that both animes pretty much takes place outside the world and use Mecchas.
Anyways, these two animes made me realize you don't really have to be a hardcore meccha anime fan or a casual meccha anime person to be honest, but it's basically watchable to any people who are into anime in general.
It's amazing to see the that Mobile Gundam 00 has more actiona packed and more Mecchas, I haven't seen the anime full yet but I've seen previews and from friends that this anime is amazing.
On the other hand, Outlaw Star has Mecchas, action, adventure and what not, but it focuses on the Romance aspect as well.

Mospeada and Outlaw Star are both presented in an episodic fashion and involve a group of people traveling through their respective worlds(In Outlaw Star, space; Mospeada, North and South America), with an ultimate goal in mind(In Outlaw Star, unlocking the mystery of the Galactic Leyline; Mospeada, forcing the Inbit invaders from Earth). During their travels, they meet with various people and undergo multiple ordeals, while moving towards their goals.

Lots of action, adventure and heavy battles, these animes are great. Both of them have great character design with a bit of shading. Even the girls that help them out are machine type...
|
|
|
Has the same space pirate theme, with a similar type of not your average crew and a ship that shows a resemblance to the Outlaw Star. May not be as action packed but brings you back that same feel of Gene and the Outlaw Star crew.
|
|
|
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.

Outlaw Star and Arcadia of My Youth are all about space operas spiced with rebel ships and plenty of action to boot. Both are seasoned with plenty of cheese and take place in a distant future in which several factions are in conflict. Outlaw Star has plenty of humour and does not take itself too seriously for the most part while Arcadia of My Youth is greatly dramatic but there are enough space related battles going on to assure that these titles could share the same fanbase.
|
|
|
Similar concept but in different zones. Gungrave is done far better and has a very unique plot.
|
|
|
Interstellar action. lol, Spaceships, action, and comedy.
|
|
|
Well now lest see here hum........
they are similar because of Harry MacDougall. Since he turns his whole buddy into a mechanical machine. Kinda like the Elric brothers, but at least they don't wont to blow people up. Also by the fact that they both are searching for something, that they really wont.
|
|
|
Very entertaining spaceship adventures with engaging characters.
|
|
|
I made this recommendation for Outlaw Star because everyone is forgetting about this anime has a lot on Meccha and Space ship adventures and what not.
If you like the concept of Meccha and animes that takes place in space then this is definitely the type of anime worth checking out.
It has all the Sci-fi/Fantasy of a good anime. Both animes are definitely are really good to check out.
|
|
|
Both series give off a similar feeling of an epic endless adventure.
Outlaw Star however, was only 26 episodes long.
Charimastic leads building up their crews, great female characters (somewhat rare in today's shounen titles), similar settings (Government, Criminals and Bounty hunters).
|
|
|
Both about space pirates chasing the main characters in search of a precious item which is almost related in the amount of value.
|
|
|
You will have almost the same feeling from both these animes. IF you enjoyed one, Im sure you will enjoy the other one as well.
How ever OS has almost no ecchi scenes and low humor, however I guess the Effect is almost the same.
|
|
|
It includes racing to a point, and it is very Scifi/fantasy.
|
|
|
Great Sci-fi shows in Space.
