A more interesting lady than Clan Clan to be sure. Gene is showing more brains that I though in getting her to to submit to him too.

Gene won by halfway stripping her. What a man.

I'm half excited and half disappointed. What I thought would be an epic fight ended quickly through Gene practically cheating by stripping Suzuka. Wtf? D:

Also, that moment when Suzuka split the truck in half - that was bloody awesome.

Fred was quite different from what I expected.

y'know for being a top notch assassin ripping off a piece of clothing seems like a pretty easy way to defeat Suzuka. while she was definitely powerful she didn't give off the vide of being the amazing killer they say she is.

regardless, i like how Gene resolved his problem (kind of) by convincing Suzuka that she had to kill him before she could kill Fred.

“nice to meet you, i am melfina”
“oh yeah, whatever nice to meet you”
lmao fred when greeting the gang.

i found the twist of this episode to be hilarious.
the overall tone of this show reminds me of samurai champloo, or cowboy bebop. it can get quite philosophical, yet at the same time it can be funny as hell.

it isn’t an outlaw’s style to kill.

It was okay. The show feels like something from the 1980s to be honest even though it was from the late 90s. There are certain views that also spoiled the fun of the movie "Clue" they are dated and uncomfortable and NOT funny.

Better than the last one, but it didn't live up to the first four episodes. I find Fred to be... kind of a homophobic parody almost? Also Gene's fight ended with some weird ecchi stuff basically. At least it was kind of clever.

I kinda knew Fred was Gay. Especially the way he looks at Gene and James XD

Not surprised how they were kinda "irked" him. This was the 90s, so of course gays were considered a bit of a taboo subject. Especially in Japan with the "I'm Not Gay"

That was a great fight! I actually wanted Gene to cancel that contract and force a new contract with Suzuka.

Hope to see more of her :)

How did Suzuka follow them or go ahead of them to the middle of nowhere where they ended their match? the scene before she was riding on top of someone else's vehicle and i don't believe they drove off all the way there...

Suzuka's intro was awesome before the OP!

The music during the chase scene.

Gene's a pretty great talker, convincing people of things. I like how he made the deal with Suzuka.

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": 🤣🤣🤣
