Outlaw Star is about a hapless schmuck named Gene Starwind and the many women who inexplicably become obsessed with him. Together, these characters must face overwhelming odds to restore peace to the galaxy, and they may even find love along the way.
These women include a space pirate, a police officer, a princess, and a mad scientist. Tenchi Muyo (and its subsequent expansion Tenchi Universe) is about a hapless schmuck named Tenchi and the many women who inexplicably become obsessed with him. For instance, in this review, I won’t be comparing Outlaw Star to… Tenchi Muyo/ Tenchi Universe Therefore, I solemnly swear that I will not fall into that trap.
GENE STARWIND COSPLAY SERIES
Is the show a dark character study, or a goofy space romp? Is it about true love, or is it an excuse to feature naked women with gravity-defying breasts? Is it a complicated mystery about the nature of power, or is it a series of episodic adventures with little to no plot? The answer is yes.Įvery review of Outlaw Star that I have seen spends the entire length comparing it to other shows. Watching it is like watching an argument. With the help of his right-hand man (or should I say, right-hand boy), Jim Hawking, and a host of colorful characters they meet along the way, Gene is finally able to achieve his dreams, solve the mystery of his tragic past, and save the universe from ruin.Īs I re-watched Outlaw Star for the first time since my impressionable teenage years, I kept thinking of this popular phrase: “A camel is a horse designed by committee.” Outlaw Star feels like it was designed by a committee. The main character is Gene Starwind, a womanizing mercenary for hire with dreams of becoming a spacefaring Outlaw. The show was licensed by Bandai entertainment and became a staple of Cartoon Network’s Toonami block in 2001. Outlaw Star is an anime that aired in Japan from January 1998 – June 1998.
