For those who love anime Outlaw Star is not to be missed. I have been watching anime for over a decade now, and this anime made a mark on the US by being one of the first to be shown on the Toonami block on Cartoon Network. Its the story about Gene Starwing, and his partner Jim Hawking who are regular bounty hunters. One time they take a mission and suddenly they are being chased by every space police, and pirate in space. Everyone wants this female android named Melfina, and his ship the XGP. Its a space and mecha type anime with an amazing plot line. I really loved watching this anime, and watching this insane group getting in and out of crazy situations, and staying together as a rag tag family of misfits. While they are trying to figure out what the Galatic Leyline is they are bouncing around space in the XGP or Outlaw Star as they called it. The characters are extremely well developed, and a very interesting plot line which shouldnt be missed. The action is fantastic and the music fits the bill. This is one anime that has been dubbed well, and I loved watching it.
