This is an outstanding anime of the space opera style. It is set in the distant future on another planet, some 500 years after humans have ventured into interstellar space. It is centered on a young wannabe space jockey named Gene Starwind and his young (but genius IQ) partner, Jim Hawking. One day, fate gives Gene his wish of a starship of his own, in the form of an experimental military ship fitted with space pirate grappler arms and an advanced AI navigation system with an unusual CPU: A beautiful girl named Melfina. In obtaining his ship, now named Outlaw Star, Gene gains an implacable enemy in a magic-wielding Chinese Tong-like gang. The series has great mix of drama, action and comedy, plus a rich, multi-layered storyline. You will be amazed as to how much is crammed into those 26 25-minute episodes. The series also features an excellent soundtrack and original music.
