I didn't expect to like this series so much. The animation is average and of an older anime era, and military/sci-fi anime is always a hit or miss with me. But you can't NOT love Captain Tylor. As the title says, he's irresponsible... on of my favorite anime music videos has hime singing "Reponsibility, what's that?" But he's also a very happy, easy going or care free individual who thinks life should just be fun. Though he makes enemies within his own fleet due to his idiotic luck, he manages to win the respect and eventually friendship of many of their foes (I'd say he could sweet-talk himself out of any assassination attempt). Somehow this misfit crew becomes the most notable in the war.
In the same regards as Luffy, you can sympathize with the crew with who they have as a captain... you have to scoff and laugh that anyone like Tylor managed to become captain. And yet through unimaginable luck, gets out of every mishap still smiling. This series is just plain fun to watch. My dad and everyone in my anime club are always happy to sit down and re-watch episodes. The ending was also a great climax and conclusion (especially for a series largely bent on comedy or entertainment). I would recommend the series to anyone. I also don't mind watching the dub for this series which is rare for me.
