Outlaw Star starts off stumbling, with some iffy animation and some really awful moments here and there. By the time the season ends, however, this is a real HELL YEAH show. Spaceships duel using robot arms, a cowboy shoots magic shells out of his space-gun, there's a hot female ninja, and there's even some decent character development going on. The real story of Outlaw Star is that it debuted during a season of much bigger competitors, and there just wasn't enough good will to go around, so it was prematurely cancelled. See this show, enjoy the heck out of the awesome space pirate action, but know that the ending builds to further seasons that will probably never happen. | Outlaw Star starts off stumbling, with some iffy animation and some really awful moments here and there.

Sum it up in a Sentence
A group of outlaws scour the galaxy in search of the Galactic Leyline, an object said to hold unimaginable power.
Main Description
We start off with Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking, proprietors of Starwind and Hawking Enterprises, a company specializing in everything from broken equipment to relationships. In the course of one of their assignments, they stumble upon a case containing Melfina, an artificial human created to serve as the navigation system for a secretly built cutting-edge spaceship. Unfortunately this causes Gene to come into conflict with a multitude of unsavory characters, such as the Space Pirate Guild and the notorious MacDougall brothers.

TannhauserGate
Outlaw Star starts off stumbling, with some iffy animation and some really awful moments here and there. By the time the season ends, however, this is a real HELL YEAH show. Spaceships duel using robot arms, a cowboy shoots magic shells out of his space-gun, there's a hot female ninja, and there's even some decent character development going on. The real story of Outlaw Star is that it debuted during a season of much bigger competitors, and there just wasn't enough good will to go around, so it was prematurely cancelled. See this show, enjoy the heck out of the awesome space pirate action, but know that the ending builds to further seasons that will probably never happen.
BetterDead
I can't agree with TannhauserGate in that the ending implies further seasons. The whole series is self-contained with one direct narrative plot. I would never have guessed this series was cancelled prematurely in a million years. The show itself is like a silly version of Cowboy Bebop, inferior in just about every regard, but not terrible. Expect cringeworthy comedy and gratuitous fanservice. Decent fight scenes, stupid cliched characters, and bizarrely probably one of the best executed climactic finales in any series I have watched.
