Lost Universe - Thinpak Collection description The broadcast series Lost Universe (1998) begins as a slapstick sci-fi comedy about a mismatched trio of adventurers. Trouble Contractor Kain Blueriver always wears a blue cape and fights with a sword powered by psychic energy. Green-haired Canal is the holographic embodiment of the control system of Kain's ship, the Swordbreaker. In their first adventures, Kain and Canal acquire a third companion: Millie, a Jill-of-all-trades, mistress of none, who is determined to be the best in the universe at… something. The quarrelsome trio performs numerous feats of daring-do for hire, but the fees never seem to cover their expenses. The first half of Lost Universe is broadly comic. A crystal Millie finds turns out to be a hi-tech booby trap that reconfigures space and matter: The layout of the Swordbreaker fluctuates wildly, making it impossible to find anything--including the bathroom. But as the series continues, it shifts from a comedy-adventure to a blatant Star Wars clone. Kain is pitted against Nightmare, the maniacal head of a crime syndicate, and his deadly ship, the Nazard. An even greater foe, the mysterious Yami o Makumono ("Spreader of Darkness"), appears to Kain in his dreams, urging him to join the Dark Side, where his psychic powers will reach their fullest expression. The elaborate battles with Nightmare's forces generate little suspense, because it's clear that Kain has to survive to defeat Yami o Makumono and his space fortress, the Dark Star. Why he's the Luke Skywalker of this universe is never explained, but he's more entertaining as a goofy Trouble Contractor than as a Mark Hamill substitute. (Rated 13 and older: minor risqué humor, alcohol use, grotesque imagery, violence) --Charles Solomon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Bought it cheep and got a cheep return..... |
| Well.. what can I write about? The dubbing, I believe but won't spare the research, was made for television broadcasting. The Japanese subtitling made Far more sense than the English voices. I never heard the voice actor of the female ship again and I'm grateful for it. Running nails across a blackboard is the only fair description. The story was fairly silly in the original Japanese and I'll be stopping near the beginning and restart with it in Japanese to judge the quality of the show at a later date. Purchase at your own peril. | |
