Cool, laid-back gunslinger Gene Starwind and his smart and sarcastic child sidekick, Jim Hawking, run a small business taking odd jobs for people, and end up doing a job for notorious space pirate “Hot Ice” Hilda. The story is pretty standard fare, with a lot of familiar character types, set in the old space frontier setting. It has been released a few times on DVD, but it goes without saying that its never looked this good before! Here in the UK it debuted on short-lived TV channel CNX, where it was sadly paired and aired directly after the afore-mentioned Cowboy Bebop in an hour block, thus causing a lot of people to view it far more harshly than it warranted at the time. Outlaw Star started off life as a manga series published in Ultra Jump from 1996-1999, where as the anime was made and broadcast in Japan in 1998.
