Outlaw Star (星方æ¦ä¾ アウトãƒãƒ¼ã‚¹ã‚¿ãƒ¼, SeihÅ BukyÅ
AutorÅ SutÄ , lit. "Starward Warrior Knight Outlaw Star") is a
Japanese anime television series produced by Sunrise and seinen manga
series written and illustrated by Takehiko ItÅ . The series takes
place in the "Toward Stars Era" universe in which spacecraft are
capable of traveling faster than the speed of light. The plot follows
protagonist Gene Starwind and his motley crew of an inherited ship
dubbed the Outlaw Star, as they search for a legendary, outer space
treasure trove called the "Galactic Leyline".Outlaw Star was
originally serialized in the monthly Shueisha magazine Ultra Jump
between 1996 and 1999 for a total of 21 chapters. Three volumes of
collected chapters were published in Japan between August 1997 and
January 1999. Although no official English version of the manga
exists, it has been published in Chinese, German, Italian, and
Spanish. Sunrise produced a 26-episode anime adaptation that was
directed by Mitsuru Hongo and aired on the Japanese station TV Tokyo
in early 1998. The animated series has since been translated and
broadcast worldwide. This includes an English version from Bandai
Entertainment that received an edited airing on the North American
Cartoon Network blocks Toonami in early 2001 and later on Adult Swim
in early 2002. Outlaw Star has been licensed for release in Australia
and New Zealand by Madman Entertainment and in Europe by Beez
Entertainment. A few Japanese-exclusive audio CDs and light novels
have been spawned since the start of the manga's publication.Critical
reception for Outlaw Star has been mostly positive. Many reviewers
praised the anime series, particularly its animation style and its
balance of dramatic and comedic elements. However, some found fault
with the show's pacing, believing that the storyline quality begins to
wane after the first few episodes. Sunrise produced a spin-off
television series titled Angel Links
(星方天使エンジェルリンクス, SeihŠTenshi Enjeru
Rinkusu, lit. "Starward Angels Angel Links"), which aired in Japan in
1999. Preliminary plans were made to create a direct sequel in the
form of a single-episode (OVA) called Sword of Wind, but production
never began.
