The Outlaw Star is armed to the teeth now, so from here onward I assume the "real" show is going to begin. What adventures await Gene?

So far this show seems just okay. There doesn't seem to be anything in particular amazing or bad about it. It seems like a product of its time, maybe it would've been more amusing had I watched it back when it first came out?

Yor Forger, I mean Twilight Suzuka appears.

Turns out undressing is a very effective against female assasings.

The art style was inconsistent and the fight chorography was off. Story wise it was a fun episode.

James is without a doubt the best character & best part of this entire anime.

The face he makes while they are landing and the MC basically says to the control tower that he doesn't know how to pilot/land a starship is priceless! 😂

So Luo is both gay and a p€do, yeah last time I checked James was suppose to be 11 y/o.

Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣

I did have a hunch that Fred was meant to be a camp character just the way he acted towards Melafina when she introduced herself, just so happy to see Gene and Jim but not so much for her. XD We are introduced to yet another character in the form of Suzuka, an assassin after Fred's life. Really liked the fight between her and Gene. I gotta say Gene just splitting Suzuka to end the fight was very clever on his part. Dishonour the warrior, hmm. The episode also establishes Suzuka as a badass fighter because come on you gotta admit her splitting a truck in half with just a wooden sword was pretty cool.

I get the feeling with Suzuka around she's going to take the role of what Hilda started with, a tough but firm mentor of sorts. Maybe? Who knows she's a pretty cool character so far. Definitely a bit better than last episode but to be fair with that one it was pretty much a transitional episode I will say that the show seems to be picking up steam here. Not bad, not bad.

My goodness, Fred just has to be the most entertaining character we've encountered so far by a long shot. Even more than Aisha in the previous episode. He seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that Gene and Jim clearly are not interested in him in the way he'd like them to. No matter, it doesn't seem like he's got any intention of giving up. No wonder Gene and Jim hesitated so hard to resort to his help!

I loved the many little details featured in this episode. Like the bodyguards telling Gene the only reason they tolerated his behavior is because "their young master loves him". Or how Fred suggested Jim he'd pay him a visit when he'd become a little older. Or Fred's complete indifference toward Melfina while being absolutely enthusiastic about Gene and Jim.

And of course, Suzuka, the sexy lady assassin. She's quite the anachronistic character - being so rigidly bound by an honor code like she is can't be too helpful in a world like Outlaw Star's. Her skill at the sword is also beyond human - how could she possibly slice a truck in two with a swing of her sword? Then again, this show is no stranger to all kinds of wackiness. All her skill and strength doesn't seem to have worked out against Gene, though. It appears this is the first time she's been defeated by anyone.
