Gene was awesome, show was awesome deal with it faggots.

>>151776210
I read the first one and owned the three available volumes.

It follows the show up until Hilda shows up. She befriends Gene. Then she tries to kill him all of a sudden, before they reach the Outlaw Star. But she dies instead. All I remember beyond that is there's a twist at the end of volume 1 about there being another Melfina, owned by some Mafia goons. I think in volume 2 they try to capture the real one by using her somehow. I don't remember anything about volume 3.

The mangas have cool fold-out posters on the inside too, but they're connected to the book. You can't tear them out.. First volume's fold-out is pure fan service of Melfina in her birthday suit.

>>151777019

Gene is a great protagonist because he actually changes over the course of the series. He has to get over his personal fears and trauma because it's the only way he's ever going to become the captain of a space vessel.

Everything is sound up until the latter half you described. Kinda wonder how that would've worked out in the end. So ultimately the show was a more complete experience? I always thought the manga went farther than the show ever did, just couldn't get the rest animated, oh well.

>The mangas have cool fold-out posters on the inside too, but they're connected to the book. You can't tear them out.. First volume's fold-out is pure fan service of Melfina in her birthday suit.

Didn't Toonami not even show this episode on its first airing?

>>151778746
Yep, skipped right over. Which was understandable considering it was a massive filler-filled fanservice episode. The only plot relevant thing that happens is Gene getting some magic space bullets for his magic space gun.

>>151778782
I mean, they were the most powerful shells ever made. They were kind of important for the finale episodes.
It's not a big deal that they just got them off screen since every other caster shell was.

Japs betas have only gotten more beta and those betas go to work in anime and make anime MCs who are completely beta so they aren't threatening to the beta losers that buy their shit.

It goes to shit after ep 4.

It had massive potential, but honestly it was rushed. Cool universe wasn't built up as much as it could have been. A couple of filler and quality episodes. If those were fixed and it was made to be like a 60-70 episode show with more lore, and better quality it could have been great for the built up.

The ending sucked, it's pretty obvious they had to rush it after finding out they weren't getting another season. Besides that, nothing, I watched it for the first time last year and I loved everything about it (except the ending). Also I never understood why people bitch about the amount of filler episodes, but then praise shows like Cowboy Bebop and Firefly for doing the exact same thing.

>>151769936
>>slow pacing
It's ok when Cowboy Bebop does it.
>>boring and unlikable characters
Says you. I thought Gene had much better development than Spike. And even Suzuka, who is by far my least favorite character of OS, wasn't anywhere near as boring or unlikable as Faye.
>>inferior to Cowboy Bebop in every way
Eh not every way.
>>a universe that is not fleshed out at all
Again, it's okay when CB does it.

>>151784266
Well I hate Firefly with a passion so I'll give you that one, but Cowboy Bebop had a style to it that made it far more compelling than Outlaw Star, not to mention the filler episodes in CB were used to explore the characters rather than just for comic relief and wacky space hijinx like in OS.

>>151773909
Those pictures are so perfect. That kind of generic pulp science-fiction style with eastern touches is so cool. I'm almost glad Outlaw Star was a one-shot thing just so that these fantastic pictures are left open-ended.

>>151784318
Why are you criticizing my opinion?

>>151784405
>rather than just for comic relief and wacky space hijinx like in OS.

Yeah nah, you need to watch it again but this time without nostalgia goggles.

>>151784266
>The ending sucked, it's pretty obvious they had to rush it after finding out they weren't getting another season.
No, it's obvious they had to rush it because the manga is literally only 21 fucking chapters. It had nothing to do with another season.

>>151768856
Sequel. Angel Links was meh.

>>151779009

>>151784477
Because you're bashing an anime for having flaws you're praising another anime for having.

>>151784497
I haven't read the manga but I assume that would be because it sold pathetically. Otherwise it would have been continued.

Another reason I didn't like the show was because Aisha wouldn't stop talking and she talked in an annoying voice.

Is the only reason you like this show is because of nostalgia?

>>151774261
It was made in an era where typical sunrise show had 75 episodes.

>>151779009
Toonami was so much fun. Where I lived there was absolutely nothing like it, it's really hard to describe the very specific kind of joy I got from turning it on to see something like this.

>>151768856
Them shafting Jim as being Gene's partner in favor of the refrigerated bitch and reducing him to a role that could have been just as well suited to a broom. Bitches ruined this show, as per their usual standard.

>>151784567
I watched it for the first time last year and loved it. And I've seen far more annoying characters (Asuka, Haruhi, every tsundere ever) who are loved by many anime fans so I don't see what the big deal is.

>>151784601
I'm disappointed they didn't go into how Gene and Jim met, that could have been a really interesting backstory.

>>151784567
Aisha was awesome fuck you. And double fuck you if you're talking about her dub voice, it's even more perfect.

Did he inspire Rance appearance or was inspired by Rance?

Gundam Wing 49 episodes

Thats jsut taking the nearest shows excluding Bebop which was in same year. City Hunter had 140 episodes even. Seed + Destiny 75. Outlaw star was intended to be longer as well.

>>151784737
None of those are 75 episodes except for City Hunter. Nice try with Seed and Seed Destiny, but those are two different shows. Hardly "typical".
>Outlaw star was intended to be longer as well.
Irrelevant and [citation needed].

I'll leave you to your delusions, though.

I watched both Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop fairly near to each other and I could say that OS is a poor man's Bebop

>Gene is decent, but still less cool/developed than Spike
>Main Heroine is such a bore in OS, literally light years apart from Faye
>Jet is also better than Jim, although this is closer than I thought
>Supporting cast is weak, not much developed
>Pacing issues, made worse than it contains filler when compared to a fucking episodic show
>QUALITY very apparent in certain episodes
>Weak ass villains(although this is true to a lesser extent for Bebop)

The only thing I would give OS is that it has a more definitive plot and the Caster is cool as fuck.

>>151784909
OS had three heroines though.

>Gene is decent, but still less cool/developed than Spike

Spike was the same character from beginning to end though. Gene was a lazy loser who was afraid of going into space but progressed into a proper hero by the series finale.

>Pacing issues, made worse than it contains filler when compared to a fucking episodic show

Please, they both did the exact same format. Outlaw Star may have its problems but the pacing was never one of them.

Everything else you said applies though.

>>151770932

Wasted potential. Settings, characters and plot were okay but it all felt like scratching the surface of something bigger. There was no decent explanation of backstories and best character died before everything even started. I've watched it for the first time couple weeks ago, nostagiafags were overhyping it.

>>151788397
>It's no different than average show nowadays
What shows today are like Outlaw Star? Anime seems to have largely abandoned distant future+space travel as a setting.

>>151788985
I'm not talking setting but overall plot progression and character development. And both are mediocre. I can't think of many memorable things from this show. Some good ideas but execution was flawed. We know shit about Jim and Aisha. Suzuka had some backstory with last fights and that's all. Nothing decent about world too.

>>151778957

I liked the little exposition dumps at the beginning of the episodes. Could have been done better, though.
