The good days of old anime, ahh yes, I remember in my younger times watching many great shows such as this. But not too long ago i bought myself the complete dvd set, and the memories came back. All old-school and mecha fans should give this anime a look as soon as they possibly can, trust me as this is one you will not regret missing out on.
-Story-
It begins with two out of the three cast members Gene and Jim who run their own shop, but their lives are changed when they encounter Hilda, a pirate that helps to start their journey into space as they meet many different characters. The story is interesting and stays true to the plot, without any side events or filler taking over.
-Art-
While there were a few scenes here and there that were not drawn at their best, the artwork overall is good enough to look at.
-Sound-
One of the best soundtracks for an anime that I have ever heard, whether it'd be a peaceful or action packed moment, the soundtrack worked well to that scene. The opening music is very memoriable and to some level, catchy. I preferred the english dub however.
-Character-
All or most of the characters are likable and have a vast variety in their personality, and rather then overdoing it or not having enough, the character ammount is perfect as well as the characters varying in age rather then your typical 12 year old kids in most shows now-a-days. My favorite would have to of been Aisha, for being the goof of the group and bringing in comedic elements, however there are some such Gwen Khan that may start to bother you.
-Enjoyment-
I was pleased with every one of the episodes as they all kept me intersted enough to move onto the next episode. The unaired twenty third episode was also new and interesting in its own way, it felt like that of a filler episode but is much more preferable then a filler of naruto or bleach. The action was nice but felt as though it had been shortened. But it felt as though some events of the twenty sixth episode left me questioned.
-Overall-
Back then and even now i still enjoy this anime, while this isn't exactly one of those I recommend to someone who is not much of a mecha fan, I am sure almost everyone else will take a liking to Outlaw Star, this series is a must have to own on dvd.
