| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Please don't confuse this with Cowboy Bebop... |
| Since this series gets compared to Cowboy Bebop for some strange reason, just thought I'd make that the point of my review. If you haven't seen it, Cowboy Bebop is a classy tribute to all things great about american film noir and seventies cop-shows, blues music and jazz... as anime goes, it's high art and has one of the most memorable background scores by Yoko Kanno you'll ever hear and excellent english voice acting.
(yeah, I'm a fan) Outlaw Star on the other hand, is a juvenile, lower-budget, noisy space opera, and that's not to say it's not fun to watch, but... it is what it is. To it's credit, it's got some nice character designs and the script is full of good humor (the ronin Suzuka gets the best lines), it's not graphically violent, though it does have a bit of swearing in it. The dub needs help; the english voice acting is pretty thin and uninspired and it brings the whole thing down- I enjoyed it alot more listening to the japanese and reading the subtitles. It's not the best or worst anime out there, it's got a good heart. Just please avoid the 'if you liked Cowboy Bebop' tag - they're pullin yr leg. |
