- (OPINION)OUTLAW STAR is a great anime with tons of space-action, humor, and really great graphics that break the traditional TV animation. At first I hesitated at watching this anime because I thought to myself..."gee I don't want to watch another stupid boring space epic drama (after watching Lost Universe, which is really boring...to me..when it reached the middle)" I didn't bother to watch is when my sister first bought it at the convention but after 3 months I watched it because there is nothing to do. So I loved it..YEAH! Not addicted but I loved it.

- MUSIC; The music is great for both the opening and the ending. The opening introduction starts off with a music called THROUGH THE NIGHT and is a song that is up beat and kinda like rock music sung by Arimachi Masahiko. The ending song is sung by Arai Akino really good music with really cool colorful graphics of a girl maybe Melfina.
