This series was hailed in Japan as soon as it was released and if you ever get the chance to see the series in it's original Japanese format, you'll more than understand why! While much of the humor and plot was lost in it's movement overseas here to America, the series is still entertaining to watch and I personally own all three DVD sets. Bandai did a mediocre job in the dubbing and extra features, but that is good compared to the butchering jobs done by other companies in the past. The series is based in the future in which the focus of everyone's attention is space. The galaxy is composed of three main groups: the space police, the pirates, and the outlaws. The story follows the travels of an outlaw named Gene Starwind who, along with his younger business partner Jim Hawking, begin by running a small business on his home planet in which they offer "to solve any problem." This takes a turn for the worst, however, when they are hired by an outlaw named Hilda to steal the galaxy's most advanced space ship. Needless to say, the story gets VERY interesting from there. A GREAT series! A must see for any true anime fan!
