From what I gather Outlaw Star came out before Cowboy Bebop. Cowboy Bebop fans have told me that it isn't a copy, which it can't be since it came out first, of Cowboy Bebop, but an anime worthy of it's own merit. As far as character development goes I was very satisfied. The focus is on 2 characters Gene Starwind, a spaceophobe, and Melfina, a bioandroid with a mysterious origin. The three supporting characters Jim Hawking, Aisha, and Suzuka may not get the same focus as Gene and Melfina but by themselves are very cool and well created characters. As far as humor goes, Outlaw Star may have fewer punchlines than some shows, but I would consider it's humor to be expertly woven into the show's story which beyond humor involves drama and action. Gene Starwind, partner of Jim Hawking, womanizer, bounty hunter, bodyguard, dreams of leaving Sentinel 3, a frontier planet, and to become a space pirate hunter. There's two problems. One, he doesn't have a space ship (probably because he isn't good with money), two he's afraid of space. This anime is No.1 in my top ten. I would also like to say be careful in purchasing DVDs on ebay, especially anime. There are many *bleep*s out there that sell bootleg copies. I am too inexperienced to give advice to this, but if you go to the reviews and guidelines section of ebay and type anime or bootleg you will find a number of good guides on bootleggers and their products.Read full review
A WORTHWHILE ANIME..I MIGHT COMPARE THIS TO TRIGUN...THE ARTISTRY IS VERY SIMILAR...THE DIFFERENCE IMO...IS THAT "GENE STARWIND" ISN'T AS "HAPPY GO LUCKY" AS "VASH THE STAMPEDE" IT'S MORE ABOUT WHAT GOES ON AROUND "GENE" AS HE ADVENTURES THROUGH SPACE.. IT'S HIS CREW AND SHIP THAT BRING THE COMEDY RELIEF 8D.... UNFORTUNATELY THE CONCLUSION IS A LITTLE WEAK IMO...VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF VIDEO GIRL AI...JUST IN VIDEO GIRL AI...THE WAY IT PLAYS OUT IS A LOT "CLEANER" WHICH LEAVES A MORE SATISFYING "FLAVOR" TO THE STORY

Outlaw star is nothing short of amazing and every episode will leave you begging for more so, you better get ready!!!
This series tries to be like Cowboy Bebop. It doesn't fail completely, but it lack the character development and humor. It is a little more violent and the animation isn't as quality as Bebop. Overall, the series is mediocre and I wish Sunrise made a new season of Bebop instead of this.
