The Holy Trinity of Space Western Anime
The Father - Cowboy Bebop
The Son - Trigun
The Holy Spirit - Outlaw Star
Yes!!!!!
@Justin Wade The Holy Royal Trinity and the respectable nobel General- OutLaw Star
Hubby told me today Gilliam II and Monev the Gale from Trigun are the same V.A

Let's not forget than Aisha was perfectly willing to sleep with Gene.
Shit, she alone is gonna make me watch this show
she's my original waifu. even 8 y/o me knew she was the shit
I was always a Suzuka man, myself. The calm, collected, calculated, and cold exterior to be immediately destroyed by the fact that she still feels shame and wants to preserve her dignity was a good representation of a person who could hold their own in conversation and chaotic situations.
Also she hot.
You forgot to mention the single greatest part of Outlaw Star: the absolutely beautiful and heart-wrenching outro song
Flowers sleep, a silent lullaby. I pray for reply, I'm ready.
I definitely memorised all the lyrics to the OP and the ED back in the day. Hiru no tsuki right? Yeah, that was beautiful.
@Trashthlete The random Sci Fi art is really interesting the first time you watch it tho.
I have not heard a better ending song. To this day it's the greatest song.
Both outros are simply amazing.
"Then I went to college, made friends"
Damn. Whats that like.
Kay Renae #mood
I take it he went to college pre-social media, such as myself. It was an era where you absolutely had to go out of your way or you would live a very lonely life in college.

Pro tip #1: When you're good at a subject, help other peeps, so when you're failing another, it'll be easier to suck up to them in turn.
Pro tip #2: When there's an opportunity to get shitfaced drunk, take it. Always.

Cowboy bebop!!
12:50 "Forced to go their separate ways forever." Yeah...that's one way to sum up that episode of pure heart shattering sadness.
One of the saddest anime episodes I've ever seen
and also weirdly makes the modern day feel more sci-fi than outlaw star, what with phones and messaging apps.
As well as my entire love life...
it's been many years since I watched Outlaw Star... even forgot the name of the show... but that episode stuck.
they killed that bitch!!!!!
I always thought this series was so underrated. It's so damn good.
On god it is bro I haven’t even finished outlaw Star cause I cycle so many anime shows and movies at once I barely got 5 episodes on but I already love it 😂🤣💯
No one should feel shame for having the correct opinion that Aisha is gorgeous.
hell yea
Gorgeous, strong, fun, and witty if a bit slow.
May or may not have used a lot of bathroom tissue for this reason as a teen....
@Captain Zorc the same thing as
The man from Peru.
Who fell asleep in his canoe.
He dreamed about Venus.
Grabbed his penis,
And woke up with a handful of goo
My first spicy dreams as a kid were about her. It’s odd that I remember that. I think I was weirded out that it was a cat lady and that’s why I still remember it. Glad I wasn’t alone
"A boy has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him. What awaits him down the path, he will then have to choose. The boy doesn't always know. At some point, the boy then becomes an adult and learns what he was able to become. Joy and sadness forever will accompany this. He is confronted with the choice. When this happens, does he bid his past farewell in his heart? Once a boy becomes an adult, he can no longer go back to being a boy. The boy is now a man. Only one thing can be said: A boy has the right to dream, for those endless possibilities are stretched out before him.
We must remember; All men were once boys.
"
That opening bit always makes me tear up.
StarDragonJP Ok...that gave me goosebumps...I could hear that voice in my head as I read along...good shit!
This quote is hauntingly appropriate to this video and I'm a bit surprised SEW didn't add it himself. Your reply is criminally underrated probably because most don't realize it's from Outlaw Star.
Seen Outlaw and Bebop 2-3x each. I thought this quote was from Bebop. This show does live in Bebops shadow but it deserves so much more
N O S T A L G I A
I've never forgotten that episode with Jim and his would-be girlfriend.
Cuts deep, man.
I'm the same way with ep 15. When gene hits his depression and truly thinks he is going to die and hurts those closest to him because he truly thinks that he doesn't have anything to live for. Then his friends show up to help him even though they may die too. That realization that you can never truly understand the value of your life because how others in your life value you. It hit home for me
@@pathfinderGM 100%. Those that matter will always have a way to make you rethink your sense of lack of importance. I know they do for me!
I always loved the creativity and fun the series seemed to have. Spaceships arm-wrestling with each other? Taoist space pirate wizards? Bullets which are just containers for magic spells? And all that creativity comes in a really beautiful, well-told package to boot.
The assassin missfiring his last shot was just the DM fudging his roll so he wouldn't TPK the party.
Maybe he spared the young man - we'll never know :-)
Funny that you say this... Cuz that's actually kinda what happened. Assassin dude used his fight with Gen to leave the group
bombomos He realized that life meant more to the crew of the outlaw star than his life meant to him.
I got a top reason why you should watch right here:
Aisha Clan-Clan
Now I don't usually go for tan feral muscle punchgirls. But when I do...
That's it. Literally all you need.
I like how you made the entire video pointless. We wasted so much time.
Voiced in English by Rita Repulsa herself, even.
Yes sir.
I’m glad someone else appreciates this show for what it is as a whole , a genuine masterpiece, that only needed 1 season to explain it , excellent music and artwork that just felt ..real
And it's worth shedding a small nugget 🥲
Honestly hadn’t noticed you retired the “why you should watch” style.
Guess you do better than you might think.
Chinese futurism, mysterious girl found in a box, a dashing rogue. Yup josh Whedon definitely didn't ape a few things for firefly
Me watching Firefly for the first time: "I can see it, but it's not..."
Melfina shows up:
"Oh Yeah, he totally stole this."
JOSS. His name is is Joss Whedon.
@@DoctorLazers *Yos Weedon
@Allan Tidgwell no, the space pirate faction themselves are very specifically futuristic Chinese Taoism. While other things may be informed by it being a japanese series, there's a very clear influence towards the Chinese side of things.
The Caster is like the coolest gun ever. Love this show so much; I usually wind up watching it at least once a year.
it's ok
Agreed the caster is super cool. It drew me into the show!

@@theskyrax670 I was sad once, then SHENMU/WRESTLING/THE SIMPSONS/ect, helped me out of my depression.
but it shows exactly his point at the end, where every single moment or situation is different and some times we might enjoy different things depending on our place or mood in life.
@@killermoth9311but then he gets into new depressions because his "life" is just consuming media and analyz7ng it😅
Unpopular opinion: I had more fun watching Outlaw Star than I did with Cowboy Bebop.
Yup. Me too :D
Same. Bebop only worsened my depression. Outlaw saved me from it.
Well yeah, Cowboy Bebop is supposed to be dark and melancholy with a few jokes and lightheartedness sprinkled in; Outlaw Star is the exact opposite.
@gibbdude empathetize. The word you are looking for is empathize. Sympathize is if something bad happens and you really feel bad for that person. Empathize is "yeah I understand where you are coming from." It isn't even really agreeing, it's simply "oh yeah, I can see how you ended up feeling this way"
Also, cowboy Bebop, is, in my opinion, a phase in people's life. At least it was for me. I quickly grew out of that "this is cool" factor and actually detest all the characters with an exception of Ed and maaaaaybe Jet. Maybe. Mushroom Samba is the only episode I can really watch without turning it off in disgust. The main characters are so toxic and never redeem themselves. That's simply my opinion though and hope people can respect that. Thanks for reading.
Yes! This so hard. I think one of the things that solidified it is that the crew of Outlaw Star felt like a group of companions and Bebop's felt like just some people who work together.
Bebop IS the better series, but not the one I like more.
16:13
That feeling when you know you only beat the boss cause he rolled a 1 on his last attack.
actually he threw it on purpose, it was DM pity.
He lives actually. In the very end of the episode it is shown. The assassin is so good that he faked his death just to play with them without killing and it's all out of his boredom I think or maybe pity.
@@geckoontherun4984 he was looking to ditch his pirate life to become an outlaw. There is no retirement for pirates.
I favourited purely because of the "Beginner's colour theory" gag.
SAME!!!
I had kind of forgotten how good this show was. You're right about how it was instantly overshadowed by Cowboy Bebop, but it definitely had its own identity. I remember enjoying it more than Bebop. My favorite episode was the one with the cats with its heartbreaking story about Jim Hawking being completely oblivious about what's happening.
I had to buy the box set to get the uncensored version and the hotsprings episode. i don't care, as a teen i needed my cat girl baps no matter the cost!
Yeah, but they're covered in fur so you don't really get to see anything anyway.
I remember back in the day, when I was a young whipper-snapper, seeing Aisha. Her in all her tanned, muscled, cat WOMAN glory and feeling that the game had now been changed.
In the same vein, when I was a tween i didn't know at the time that anime giys could be as hot as Gene, because HOT DAMN. No wonder he got Animerica's fan vote for sexiest anime character.
Even in 2020 Outlaw star still has one of the best op's ever
Better then Mob Psycho’s second op?
@@poolover9610 you took it from my mouth
Joshua Gultom he said “one of the best” not the best. I love outlaw star but it’s op can’t touch mobs
@@stoicbartender no opening can get close to mob's
It's a BANGER
Your channel is like a gourmet buffet. You never know what you’re gonna get but it’s always so, so good.
I remember the relationship between Harry and Melfina really struck me as a kid watching it. This emotionally unstable man trying desperately to convince this woman he’s obsessed with that they should be together really stuck out to me as a kid and helped me realize growing up that people can be the same as you but at the same time on the exact opposite end of what you need to grow as a person in life
The show's worth it alone for that opening. The song is just killer.
I come back to it every now and then whenever I'm in dire need of unadulterated blood-pumping pure hype. Such a good song.
The opening is great, but the ending, 昼の月, is one of my favorite anime themes of all time.
that song is one of a kind you really don't know.
What you said in the beginning about watching anime as a teen is definitely relatable. Watching anime at night was such effective escapism.
Wow, I watched this as a teenager and rewatched it again a couple years ago and it's still my favorite anime. So happy to see people talking about this.
I didn't have the pleasure of watching this(or at least in detail for a whole episode) but I WILL ALWAYS remember this because of the Toonami Bump commerical called Dreams. One of the greatest and motivational videos Toonami graced us using various anime cleverly .
If you haven't seen it, watch it now. It basically in a weird way....told me that Outlaw Star among the rest that were shown were a gem to anime/manga.
No objections. Those bumpers are great
Toonami put out an updated Dreams bump. It's incredible, and made me cry.
For those who are interested, you can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/SpTe49f5b1I/видео.html
Oh my god dude, same. I used to always see this in that commercial and wonder why the heck it never actually showed (this was back when I was still in elementary school I think) because I thought it looked pretty cool.
@@megasoniczxx Same!!!!! I legit wanted to watch it but I was like "you know what my favorite bump commercial is on, this is enough"
"BEGINNERS COLOR THEORY" me, an artist. "HECK YEAH. BEGINNERS COLOR THEORY!!"
Me, a trade painter: "Feck yeh!"
I got recommended a video on Color Theory because of it, so that's neat.

You’ve inspired me 👍🏻
Bonsai pop
I watched y’all a video on outlaw star now I’m watching this one haha it’s how much I love this show.
kawaii and ara ara-pilled
Omg bonsai pop I love you
I absolutely loved this show and while bebop focused more head-on approaches to dealing with personal demons; this show helped show that even with personal demons you still got your life to live and world ahead of you. All you need to do is go for it and dont be held back.
This short review hits exactly why I loved this series far better than i could ever explain myself. If you liked cowboy bebop please give this an independent viewing as itself. If you can do that you see that it actually brings something else entirely to the table just in a slightly similar setting.
Outlaw star is still one of my favorite series. You get comfortable in goofy hyginks and then suddenly blindsided by intense personal confrentaion that was actually always there part of the characters. Its just something they don't like about themselves and keep it to themselves except in moments where it becomes too much and it explodes out.
If nothing else watch ep 15. It had a huge impact on me and helped me explain the deep root of my past depression perfectly.
Love episode 15 and the little existential funk gene is in that ep. When he tries to get with Mel and then is just lying awake with the shadow of the window blinds on his face - very artistic shot. And the scene he has at the bar with leilong is awesome. That’s why I love this show - it’s balance. It had moments like that juxtaposed with silly moments or over the top action. But when it got sort of semi-serious is probably when I liked it the most. It also fills me with a sense of adventure like no other show does.
There is a particular energy to those 90's anime series that has never really been replicated. My personal favourite of the era is probably Cyber City Oedo 808.
If you want a new anime with 80/90s vibes check out Megalo Box
@@tomecabrita6775 It's good. But I prefer Hajime no Ippo.
@@pious83 OHHH sick actually me too
THANK YOU !! I feel like NO ONE talks/mentions Cyber City Oedo 808. Such a gem that everyone needs to watch, regardless if they like anime or not.
@@Rosalith I only wish it was more than just a three episode mini-series.
Outlaw Star will always be one of my favorite classic anime, especially because of Toonami and their promos of the anime. Really miss it and will try to find a way to watch it again soon. It is that anime that does live in the shadow of Cowboy Bebop but I feel each should stand side by side for bring such vibrant and detailed worlds and personal stories within the context of space outlaws.
Also no one will judge you Super Eyepatch Wolf Aisha is a true beauty
The Blu-ray collection is still available for a good price, and it’s available for streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams!
She was my first ever crush/waifu even though I didn't realize it.
oh man! you speaking of the toonami promo's brought back all those memories, you're absolutely right! The toonami promo's were amazing for this show. That's the one thing you dont see on the blue ray collection, but still worth getting.
For those who want to see the promo he's talking about, type in "Toonami: Dreams"
It's on hulu
My favorite anime ever. Watching the original full run on DVD in Japanese as a child changed me forever. Not only did this really introduce me to the emotional storytelling power of anime, it also really resonated with me as a young man veering on teenagerhood/adulthood. Incredible, incredible series.
"You gonna just keep running away?"
"Just keep running away? I'm not running..."
Outlaw Star was the second anime I ever finished after Yu Yu Hakusho and what an anime it was.
You, my friend have amazing taste. Thank you for sharing.
Outlaw Star was one of the classics I would love to watch in Toonami as a kid, but as I got older, I forgot about its existence until a few years ago where I decided to binge watch some episodes.
I'd personally recommend it for someone new to anime.
I didn't watch it until two years ago since I didn't have Toonami as a kid and live out in a remote part of Alaska so I went in blind. I came out with it as one of my all time favorites, it's an anime that is timeless and definitely one to show someone who doesn't like anime and wants something that'll blow their socks off. Both this and Records of Lodoss War
Hey Eyepatch Wolf… thanks. In the midst of this crisis, I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety attacks bad enough to leave me dry-heaving into a sink, and I have felt very alone. But for 21 minutes and 12 seconds just now, it felt like someone cared and was trying to pick me up and show me how to be okay, acknowledging their own struggles and pointing to another, entertaining success story of overcoming anxiety. And it might seem stupid, but by the end of this video that feeling of being cared for and understood left me in tears. So thank you. It means a lot, and I’m gonna start watching Outlaw Star tomorrow
Praying for your anxiety to lessen whenever it can. I giggled loudly when you mentioned liking Aisha was fine and my wife came from the other side of the house to check on me. 👀
You accurately brought into words what I've always felt about Outlaw Star. Growing up DBZ was always my favorite anime, but looking back. I found myself never wanting to miss Outlaw Star. It holds a special place in my heart. I dont have a 2nd favorite anime because it is a toss up between multiple animes.
My exposure to it was through Toonami back in the day. Years later, I sought out the Uncut version and appreciated it even more.
@Marshall Banana Memories.
@Marshall Banana Mammories.
My first exposure to Outlaw Star was a parody cartoon by Zone.
Is the Blu Ray uncut?

Toonami used to make such amazing edits of the anime they were currently showing...
I was hoping someone would post the name of that for me.
Much appreciated.
“You gonna just keep running away?!”
They started doing it again, though they don't run them as often.
The Gundam one I loved. "It will be dangerous... So what. It will be dang, be dangerous"
@@alakazellae-commerce9627 Yeah, that one was "Space is the Place". I'd say those two and "Mad Rhetoric [Walking Stick]" were my favorite ad spots from Toonami. If you ever get a chance and find the videos/interviews, I'd suggest listening about all the things that went down with Toonami. All the crazy work they had to do to make it happen, and the real passion you could tell went into it from them.
I'm so glad that you talked about this show. It's such an underrated masterpiece. Wish it was more known.
"Jim make friends with mysterious girl on a space station before the two go their separate ways, forever"
"bittersweet episode"
c'mon man. give that episode some more credit
Ah the one of Space Western Trilogy get a rep. I always called Trigun, Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star as the Space Western Trilogy as go to anime recommends
xdelta92 Goshdarn yes! Darn I remember dad showing me Trigun, I fricking loved and still love it. Vash’s probably my favourite anime protag
The Holy Trinity of Merica! anime.
If I could imprint the stereotype of what an American is to other countries... they'd be Gene Starwind. Brash, ballsy, confident and cunning as hell.
Dang, I got so hooked on the joke idea that he never gets over his anxiety. I love when stories play on the grand fantasy setting and hyperfocus in on something, and I was pretty hype for that hypothetical ngl. HOWEVER I also love me some goofy space action too so this also slaps
Honestly when he said the joke scenario I got really invested.
The moment he said that Gene never leaves his planet due to anxiety, it instantly peaked my interest (more so than the actual show, not saying it didn't peak my interest as well.) I instantly thought that this show might be something of a great deconstruction. Something like a solemn lament which shows the results when you are too afraid to follow your ambitions and give in to your inner anxieties. What happens when the protagonist of the anime isn't someone who can overcome their challenges and regrets their inability to overcome the obstacles, but tragically making excuses to justify why he couldn't.
But at the same time I thought that a show named "outlaw star" wouldn't be like that and so I instantly came up with another scenario. That this show was going to tell us about how a character felt anxiety and gave up on their dream despite fighting their anxiety, but eventually quits, and (while tragic) maybe that's not so bad. Maybe this character eventually makes his own fulfilling life on the planet in spite of his younger dream and starts to appreciate the life on his planet while still carrying the sober, tragic thought in the back of his mind about a "what if" scenario but realizing he gave it his all. He isn't successful in the normal definition anime creates, but he is content with his life. He is a star but not in the normal sense, instead he is an "outlaw star" ya know.
When he said that it was a joke part of me was instantly disappointed. I still watched the video though, and this seems like a good show. I just got my hopes up for a joke ;D.
I guess coming up with these kinds of stories makes sense with my tastes though... Fate/Zero is my favorite after all and Kaiji is 2nd.
This was one of the seminal anime of my early anime fandom. I honestly don't think I've seen anyone even mention it on the internet in nearly a decade. Thanks for this.
This was my favorite anime for the longest time and will always hold a special place. Your story of connection to and disconnect from Outlaw Star is very familiar. Thanks for making this video and sharing your experience. You're doing good stuff here. Truly appreciate your work! We'll get through this.
Never thought I'd see one of these about Outlaw Star, was obsessed with Aisha Clan Clan my whole childhood lol
RIGHT!?
Im still obessed
I was obsessed with her too 😂😂😂 Even when her appearance faded from my mind over time, the name, Aisha Clan Clan, always stuck with me. Anyway, I’ve had the show on Blu-ray for about a year, just have to sit down and watch it again.
"STOP INTERRUPTING THE VIDEO--!"
Maybe the funniest moment you've ever put in a video.
when Eyepatch Wolf shouted at the live action version of himself, i knew this was becoming my even favorite-er RUclips channel
Watching the scenes where Gene runs through the leyline using the special caster shells is still so awesome to watch.
Also the entire Leilong vs the crew sequence is amazing.
I don't know, everytime someone says something about their hard teenage years I feel like I am at that point now in my (mid) twenties. This quarantine has only solidified that again. Can I find some real real friends, a purpose in life, a girlfriend... I really don't know. Not even if I am more in an Outlaw Star or Cowboy Bebop situation, it feels like the worst parts of both of them. Thank you for this video! I know this RUclips world just consists of parasocial relationships. but this made me feel something.
I like outlaw star, i never liked Bebop and just found it depressing.
Outlaw star is about the journey and not the destination and living your life the way you want for your own reason.
you can find real friends and a girlfriend but you have to start doing what you desire discover who you are and start living your own way once you do that everything you want will come to you trust me.
anyway have faith and take the first step, thank you for the comment now start to live your life the way you were meant to.
Heckenhexer you won’t be happy with a girlfriend if you can’t be happy without one :) happiness comes from within, don’t externalize your unhappiness!
I would not say it’s a given that everyone will achieve their dreams simply by identifying them or by pining for them.
I don’t say this to be mean, but strangers die, unloved, forgotten, ignored, and even senselessly or needlessly.
Walk out there into the world and start doing social. If you think youtube is parasocial.
OR
Make REAL connections on RUclips. And recognize them as REAL social connections (just with different characteristics) and don’t call these “para”social.
Or. Ignore me cuz I’m just a internet voice and could be a person who realized their dreams and is now almost done with law school, or could be a Russian bot farm worker at a bank of 300 iPhones posting comments Putin told me to.
Hey, I feel you. I'm also 20, lost and lonely.
@@KallusGarnet Bebop is supposed to be depressing or rather melancholic. Only if you open yourself to this void you can really understand its beauty ^^
Even after all these years of Anime, "Through the Night" is still one of the top ten intro theme songs.
I'm surprised that the didn't mention the kickass opening.
@@sakeconmbeju When it originally aired on Cartoon Network for Toonami they skipped the intro, actually.
@@komojo omg, that´s a sin! I didn´t know that since I live in South America (we didn´t get to watch Outlaw Star in Cartoon Network, we had to download the show using dial up haha)
The only reason I know of the opening and how good it is is because when I was 10 I got one of the original eng dubbed video cassettes gundam wing episodes like 1 thru 4 or 5 and one of the movie adds oddly enough was for outlaw star and the opening played during its ad. I got the cassette I think after outlaw star aired on toonami which I know from the day time block and I think here in nyc it also aired after they were finished airing gundam wing. Dont quote me because I cant remember much about airing schedules. But anyway the opening played durring that ad and it got me excited for outlaw star and for some reason even as a kid I registered that as the theme for outlaw star for some reason. Therefore when I got into listening to music I eventually looked up the outlaw star theme and added it to my playlist. Sorry for the essay.
😂😂It's been my ringtone for ages now.
I gotta say there's a beauty to each Eyepatch Wolf video. Music cues, pacing, the cript, everything about each of these I'm binging inspires something in me, even about shows and topics I have no interest in. I don't know how you do it, but you get me excited for everything you're excited about. That's a beautiful kind of enthusiasm.
It's so nice to hear someone else talking about Outlaw Star the way I feel about it.
"Did you say SPACE WIZARD?"

John showing up in his videos is becoming my favorite parts of his videos ^^
Also I’m glad I actually had the pleasure of watching this series when Toonami started Airing it a few years back! It was a wonderful watch that honestly was great to just sit and get lost in the mood of each episode even if very little was happening Action Wise... I should’ve bought the Blu-Ray when I had the chance.
Also yes the Muscular Cat Girl is The Best Character no Shame let us all Live Dammit!
You can still buy the Blu-ray! For $25USD!
The feeling you mentioned of time and space melting away when you watched outlaw star in anime during quarantine is the same feeling I get watching your videos. Amazing content and beautifully produced, thank you for what you do

Outlaw Star is one of my favourite anime series ever. It was the anime I used to wait for my parents to go to sleep I could watch it.
Finally one of my all time favourite series gets some love.
Also, one of the best dubs out there
Hmm, a space anime about Bounty Hunters with one of the best English dubs.
I guess there are always two
@@Laiser cowboy beebop? Lol
The OP slaps, too.
>watching dubs
You're watching completely different series. Dubs are disgusting regardless of the media country origin.
Your "Why You Should Watch" videos bring tears to my eyes, thank you for making these videos!
This channel has so much heart. I've been quarantined solo for about 2 months now and this is exactly what I needed. Been subbed for a while now and I will continue to support this channel. Quality work Mr. Wolf
Outlaw Star still has one of the most memorable aesthetics of any anime I have ever seen
It's kinda sad that Angel Links is in the same universe but is nowhere near as excellent.
I wish the app Tubi (app) would add Outlaw Star episodes and the following anime episodes:
- * Trigun
- Big O
- Blue Gender
- Sorcerous Stabber Orphen
- Reign: The Conqueror
Outlaw Star an anime I watched as a kid, yet have vivid memory what it was even about.
* not the animated film “Trigun: Badlands Rumble”
the colour theory segment was actually excellent and really well communicated!!! loved the inclusion of it in the vid!
Love your videos!! There are so many RUclipsrs I admire so so much who produce super fun videos (Jack Septic Eye, Clleen Ballinger, The Try Guys, Good Mythical Morning, etc.) but it's not often that you come across one that makes really amazing quality work. And as someone who's studied animation, I love how you bring attention to what an incredible art form it is!
Scrolling through your channel when this popped up, and I’m so glad to see you talked about because not nearly enough people talk about this show. I grew up on it and it’s one of favorites, thank you for making this omfg
Someone on the crew of Joss Whedon's Firefly was a fan of this show. River Tan was introduced in the exact same way as Melfina.
Pretty sure Joss himself was. No way that was an accident.
The ships are even similar!
He evidently said numerous times that was just a coincidence.
...Sure.
FlyingFocs He really said that? That’s laughable.
@@FlyingFocs He said that some of it was inspired but he did a lot to separate them.
NOT ENOUGH
Thank you for using that shot of Aisha rising up really quick like five times, really, uh, helped me understand her character
I think we need more videos like this. Please continue with making content that taps into better times and hopeful things! Thank you. I watched outlaw star as a teen and loved every minute of it
Hey I know you talked about this on your twitter about how you don't really want to keep doing these types of videos but i really hope you continue to do them from time to time. so many of your "Why Your Should Watch" videos have really gotten me to check out a large variety of content that i never would have otherwise. of course i hope you do all the other content you want to do as well and if we only ever see these once in a blue moon i would never complain.
even though outlaw star was one of my original anime back when i was young this video definitely convinced me that i need to re watch it asap. thanks for all the great content eyepatch.
Okay, as someone who’s never watched Outlaw Star, I would LOVE to see an anime like this where he doesn’t overcome his fear of space, like the hypothetical presented. Seriously, picture an entire series where you see all these crazy things happen...but only from a distance. Our main character is just a random extra in the crazy action space anime. He’s the bystander in One Punch Man. He’s a regular citizen in Star Wars. He witnesses all of these crazy, world changing things, maybe even caused by a hero that would be considered the main protagonist of his own series, but he never directly gets involved. Maybe he gets close, the hero quickly whisks him away from danger, but that’s it. Idk, that kind of show just sounds interesting to me.
Max Ducks not an anime or manga but the series “Marvels” from Marvel Comics is very similar. It is about a reporter who sees events in the Marvel Universe from a normal person’s perspective and is really well written and drawn/painted.
You should watch planetes then.
Max Ducks ...suuure, but it’s hard to make this kind of story entertaining. I mean, I’d love to see something like that but if the whole story is just about some random dude, nothing else, then what’s the point? I want to see a STORY, where something happens and events occur and we get a conclusion, NOT a show about some dude who’s on the side doing nothing.
@@gogomonstertruck I was just about to recommend Astro City by the same author, definitely two great stories :)
@@louisaniathemagnificent8246 what if the plot revolved around the normal person. it's a surprisingly realistic story about a person strugglin to make ends meet in a crazy world. imagine the main character quits his office job in order to pursue his dream of becoming a small shop owner. he finally gets thing running, customers flood in and business is booming. then it gets caught in the middle of a big fight scene between hero a and villain b. the main character gets saved but he witnesses all the hard work he put into his shop just get obliterated. following that is an arc of him trying to get back together, interspersed with random acts of kindness from his loyal customers.
My favorite character is Aisha Clan Clan, she’s one hot catgirl back in the day.
Only Toonami
I still remember the zone-Sama game
I remember "just watching" a porno of aisha clan clan. I never knew she was from an anime
The tetar tetar go rawr rawr.
A great video about one of my favorite anime series of all time. Loved what you said, what you included visually, and most of all the music! The use of 2814 was almost jarring, because it's my favorite duo and I wasn't expecting THAT song to pop up here!
I'll say it for us all, this is the best anime ever made this provided so many years of entertainment. The most rewatch able anime ever. I remember also the philosophical nature of the narrations and genes inner monoluge made me look at my lifes journey in a more progressive and positive manner. Just amazing.
It is rewatchable as shit I always put it in the background when I’m playing games or when I’m gonna sleep cause the world is a vibe
The way you end videos always hits like a truck, I always end up just sitting still for a minute after finishing the video contemplating what I just heard, relating it to my own life and experience. For some reason I always seem to empathize with the points you make and I don't have that feeling with many creators on this platform, so I guess what im trying to say is just, thanks.
Same
This ending really hits hard.
I'm an essential employee that works in the health care and nights. So, maybe I can't relate but I feel like I've been isolated forever. Quarantine has been strenuous on everyone, but I know we are capable to survive.
Instead of just staying home, I've just been given a bigger cage. Following my narrowing route to and from work, rarely seeing the light of day, to systematically cycling through my PPE.. and quarantining my clothes for years, much less 2 months.. Freedom does feel like a dream.
Outlaw Star has always held a place in my heart. From the adventurous and motivational opening to the somber and reflective credit(s). Thanks for distilling it into words.
and to everyone, again, I do believe we will all get through this.
Ishima O I wish you safety and good health during this nightmare. Take care of yourself.
I clapped for you last night. Didn’t that make you feel better??
+Ishima O I'm an essential worker too. I'm a cashier at my local grocery store. I have been feeling drained and overwhelmed since this whole thing started, and now customers are dropping the polite act and cussing out me and my coworkers when they don't get their way, and excusing it with "being frustrated" with quarantine, yet us grocery store workers aren't extended that same sympathy as the customers because in their eyes, "it's just a part of the job, we have to take it with a smile and thank them for keeping us in business during quarantine".
It's also extremely frustrating having people telling me to "be grateful that I get to leave my home" and that it's a "luxury". Like, no. It's not. If I had the option, I would stay home for my safety and the safety of my family, because both my brother and I are grocery store workers, and our mother is high risk because of chronic illnesses. She has also had two surgeries done in the last six years (two total knee replacements on both knees), so that opens her even more to diseases because if bacteria gets in her system and isn't treated, it could kill her. But I don't get that option because we live in California, which is a super expensive state, so the only money that comes in to pay for bills, food, and to keep a roof over our head is my dad who makes five figures and half of my minimum wage paycheck-- it's still a struggle. (Also, and there's no nice way to say this, but my mother is an emotionally abusive parent. She's more than happy to put my health at risk, because making sure that my father takes half of my paycheck for them is the bigger priority over my wellbeing.) You've described the situation perfectly. As essential workers, there is no "freedom" in leaving the house to go to work, because that's the only place we're allowed to go. We're just moving around in a bigger cage.
@@cannibalisticrequiem sorry to hear it, got you in my prayers
@@cannibalisticrequiem I do respect your work. Everyone out here there is pushing so much weight rn.
I can't imagine getting through this without getting even a coffee or just a bag of beans. I have been doing my mother's groceries as soon I leave work, just so she doesn't have to go out. I've been lucky to only see a few customers disregarding the "mask" rule.. but when I do it's unsettling at the disregard.
Wonderfully done, this was one of my all time favorites in the early 2000's and you truly quantified for me why I love this series so much in ways I couldn't. So... thank you!
Outlaw star also deeply connected with me when I was a teen, much love for this show, it’s sadly kind of unknown by a lot of younger anime fans
Outlaw Star definitely is a hidden gem its art style was memerizing. The intro and voice over monologues still hit to this day over the many years.
I thought I was the only one with the shots for Aisha Clan-Clan but wait, you also liked Juri of YuYu Hakusho! We got the same fetish I guess because the YuYu Hakusho ringside girls are lookers too.
Like ten / twenty years from now there's going to be people posting "Why You Should Watch Super Eyepatch Wolf" episodes by people who were, as teenagers, deeply affected by your essays on media.
This has been one of your funniest videos so far, by far!
It also made me cry near the end.
10/10 You are the best
Reminded me of how great Outlaw Star was...I loved it as a kid but grew out of it relatively quickly. Also, your explanations and music choice are top-tier.
"Aisha's wild, untamed bangs."
...Oh, wait. What?
Oh, you were talking about her HAIR.
Of course. Because obviously there's not any other, um, prominent physical trait you might be focused on whenever she's onscreen.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*shifty eyes*
Iunno about you but I could go for some untamed bangs
There’s something really good about most space cowboy anime in general
I actually thought that Cowboy Beebop and and Outlaw Star were in the same universe at 1 time.
Yeah, It's not just Cowboy Bebop that does it right.
I love your videos man! It always brings a smile to my face and a warm feeling in my heart. Your videos have helped me find amazing pieces of media that i've grown to enjoy like kaiji and the yakuza series and its also helped me rediscover some childhood interests in one piece and wrestling. The thing i love the most is how your able to convey genuine passion and emotion about any given show, game or media by describing how that IP relates to you and i think that's beautiful. I hope that you can continue to enjoy making great videos as much as we enjoy watching them! Stay safe.
I love that you talk about your anxiety. It helps more than you can probably image to know someone who makes really good videos and the like still experiences anxiety or impostor syndrome or whatever. It reminds me we're all just human. Love your work man wish you the best and thank you for all the entertainment .

"wild, untamed... bangs"
i appreciate this visual gag lol
Gotta love those untamed, uhhhh, bangs
Outlaw Star, S-Cry-Ed, and Paranoia Agent were 3 of my favorite shows from back in the day. The art, the voice actors/actresses, the stories and music amazed me so much. Staying up every night watching these works of art make me feel comfort. It was my little paradise at the end of a day where i felt a lot of pain.
I haven't finished the video yet, but I just had to comment about the color section. I have always always loved the art style of Outlaw Star, and felt that it has a unique flare about it, but I could never quite put my finger on what exactly it was. It's the lighting/shading. My mind is completely blown 🤯 Thank you! I can't wait to watch the rest!
I love your description of this show around 3mins in to 4... f ing hilarious, on point, and inspiring. Well done man. I think I only watched the first few episodes but now I'm going to finish it. Cheers
As a miniature painter, you had me at the edge of my seat during the color theory lesson.
Also Aisha = best muscle catgirl
A miniature painter? *looks at your through a microscope* SO SMALL, OMG!! :O
lol
There seems to be an error in the description, “But unfortunately, but here’s me talking about Outlaw Star”.
Granted, I haven’t seen Outlaw Star so maybe it’s a reference I don’t get.
Thank you for making this video, you always have a creative way of connecting people around you with the things you enjoy the most. It means a lot
Man, the editing in this video is next level, glad to see you grow. Thanks for the video, love your content!
This was my fav anime growing up in the early 00s, glad to see more people talk about it!
