The ending wasn't that satisfying all because they didn't handle villains properly. But rest of the show, the reveal of Leyline, and remainder of the fights were well executed.

Last episode is actually 26, not 24.

Poor Melfina, she's been through a lot.

Overall, it was a fun series.

Show started off strong, but yeah definitely didn't live up to my childhood nostalgia.

Totally meaningless unsatisfying nonsense, a fitting end to a remarkably weak show. This trash aired simultaneously with Cowboy Bebop, can only imagine how embarrassed the staff of Outlaw Star felt when they saw how massively outclassed they had been in every regard.

In both a positive and negative sense this show is extremely 90s. Obviously from 2024 the comparisons to Cowboy Bebop are inevitable and I think while Bebop is obviously better Outlaw Star does a lot differently that makes it enjoyable. That its mostly a frivolous nonsense show about a bunch of likeable idiots that don't really do anything meaningful is honestly to its benefit. Bebop is actually really well stitched together with the Vicious plot-line and the Galactic Leyline stuff in Outlaw Star doesn't carry the same weight. But that results in the dumb silly stuff standing out more and being the real character of the show. Honestly I think the biggest flaw of the show is that Suzuka is woefully underdeveloped. The rest of the crew has very strong personality even if their history and motivations aren't rock solid. Suzuka is just sword lady that hangs around for almost literally no reason.

It is also weird that the two specials are episode 25 and 26 and constitute the actual ending of the show.

So everything ends like that. Everyone is comparing it with Cowboy Bebop, I had to finish that show too. All happened very fast and things like Ron surviving felt very nonsense honestly. The battle was good and the revelation of Melfina well everyone knew it. Everything remains the same at it's way and is a bit dissapointing.
This series wasted a lot of things but for the concept and the overall execution I give it a 8/10 and would like see more about like a movie or something. I will miss you Aisha

Great series, animation sometimes was disappointing but it has great character and an acceptable story. Enjoyable pacing though!
The last episode was rushed, but I can't complain too much, it doesn't seem a strong ending to me.

I prefer Cowboy Bebop because it was perfect from the beginning to the end, so I can give Outlaw Star a solid 8/10, even if it deserves a 8.5/10 sometimes for being amazing.
I really hope someday this series gets revived and continued to a final conclusion.

A "good" ending with them being in debt again, just what I expected.

Anime started off quite nicely, but the whole leyline plot was very random and did not make a lot of sense. Didn't help that author until the very end wasn't able to kill off those stupid brothers for no reason and they got annoying very fast. 5/10

And that’s the end of Outlaw Star, the finale was cheesy as hell but damn I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it was freaking epic as hell. So what were my overall thoughts for this anime in particular? Well I hear that a lot of people like to compare this one to Cowboy Bebop and while I love Cowboy Bebop as a show in it’s entirety and is considered one of my favourite anime of all time, I wouldn’t really want to compare Outlaw Star with the former because I feel like these two are completely different beasts altogether with Cowboy Bebop being more serious with some funny moments here and there I feel like Outlaw Star is more sillier in tone with some serious moments here and there and vice versa.

For a 90s anime I can really see why it was part of the same lineup as DBZ, Gundam Wing, The Big O, Yu Yu Hakuso, Tenchi Muyo and so many other classic shows on Toonami as it really brought out the action genre of animes that network had in the early to mid 2000s when it was still airing in the UK. The animation is very slick and colourful, Gene as well as the rest of the Outlaw Star crew are really well developed characters and very likeable at that. Plenty of action to be had and I feel like it has a lot going on for it. I think the story got rushed towards the end but the show itself was enjoyable for the most part that I’m willing to overlook it.

Overall I’ll give Outlaw Star an 8/10.
