Reviews

My cousin and friend both recommended this anime to me awhile back and i've finally finished watching it. Overall it was pretty decent. The characters were likable, although personally i did not find Gene that awesome or special (although he did get better at the end). Melphina was very sweet and nice, Jim was a good sidekick type, Asia was annoying at first but eventually grew on me, and Suzuka...well she was awesome in battle but honestly didn't do much. The story was probably the best part, incorporating an interesting plot, even if it did get kinda weird at the end. The problem is that there were too many episodes that did nothing for the plot at all. I suppose in small ways they helped develop character and they weren't all that bad, its just i found myself struggling to keep watching at points (heck i even took a break and switched over to another anime halfway through for awhile). The graphics were decent for its age, and some of the fight scenes were actually pretty good, if not a bit too sparse. This may not have really anything to do with the review but i had to watch a couple episodes in Japanese (which is strange since i normally go subs), and it was a lot different, kinda. Like i had to watch the hot spring one in jap and it was, pretty pervy. I don't know if the English changed some things but i don't think this is a "all ages" anime. Overall i thought Outlaw star was a decent watch but nothing too special. Then again i personally am not that into the scifi genre so that may have something to do with my rating. However, if your looking for an older anime that's free-spirited and got a pretty decent plot and likable (after a bit) characters, Outlaw star could be your golden ticket.
