Movie Reviews of Outlaw Star (Collection 1)
Movie Review: Welcome To The Outlaw World!
Summary: 5 Stars
Five years after I bought the first volume of Outlaw Star, I still have a habit of popping it into my DVD player and watch it over and over. The series Outlaw Star is a sci-fi adventure that doesn't take place on Earth, unlike other anime series. When I first watched this series, I fell in love with it, even when I had no idea what anime was. So this would be a great series to start with if you are interested in knowing what anime is.
The story is superb! The main character, Gene, is a Bounty Hunter on a civil planet. Along with his young companion, Jim, they track down bounties and work in a repair shop. But when a strange woman asks for some protection, Gene and Jim embark on a space adventure with the whole galaxy looking for them!
The DVD contains nine full length episodes. You can choose from either Japanese or English audio and English subtitles. The extras have an image gallery of the characters, ships and props. Also the traditional text less opening and ending are included. Along with some previews and trailers of other anime series you can try.
Sound-wise, it's a little weak. With HI-FI Stereo, you won't get real heavy or balanced volume. So if you're one of those guys who love to blast amazing sound out of their new speakers and are looking for a series with amazing sound, this isn't the one for you.
The graphics are well done and are very superb for something from the year 2000. Though the color quality goes down when you go to your computer. So if you want better quality either pop it in your DVD player or change the properties on your computer.
Overall the series is pretty solid, besides the audio and graphics. But if you're interested in any sci-fi series, buy Outlaw Star. If you enjoy it, get the other two DVD's. I give Outlaw Star (Collection 1) 5 stars out of 5!
My name is Amone. Adios!
