About Outlaw Star

Meet Outlaw Star (星方武侠アウトロースター), an action, adventure and comedy anime by Sunrise (1998). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Gene Starwind is a jack-of-all-trades responsible for odd jobs and bounty hunting with his partner, Jim Hawking. Stuck on a rundown planet, he’s going nowhere fast.

Along the way, when a bodyguard job goes sideways, he stumbles on himself the proud owner of the Outlaw Star and on an adventure to find the enigmatic Galactic Leyline. Facing pirates and dangers galore, can he survive the adventure through space?

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Gene Starwind (Shigeru Shibuya) and Melfina (Ayako Kawasumi) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 24 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
