Episode 13:

At 12m32sec into episode 13 of Outlaw star, when the main character's date offers to buy some ice cream, the shop next to the ice cream stand is called "Spit Sperm".

Im wondering wtf could have caused something like this.

I recall Trigun's shop names. Stuff like "Restlant" for restaurant and other translation messes.

Did you spot something funny in other animes too?

*shakes her head*
I can really tell there is guys making the scenes in the series >.<

maybe it has to do with a sperm whale store?

[SSJCloud]

i don't think i can really make a clean comment about this one hehe

Or maybe it was a hidden public service announcement, encouraging women (and some Men) to "Spit" their sperm.

Hey, everyone was thinking it. I just had to be the one to say it. :-D

[Reckless Angel]

cute...


after having displayed a videomessage the screen asks "does it make an answer?" thankfully it also asks in japanese: "would you like to reply?"

I know this is reviving a seriously old thread so I'm sorry for the possibly unwanted bump, but I have a question:

Do you guys consider Outlaw Star to be a classic?

I was talking with some dude a few nights ago and we got onto the subject of this. Personally, I don't. I think it was great, but I think that there are too many fillers for it to be a true classic - plus, it's sort of a poor man's Bebop. BUT that's IMO - I was wondering what y'all think?

[randomredneck]

Damn, ancient thread bump. I consider Outlaw Star somewhere between just plain awesome and classic. I haven't seen it in years, so i don't really remember it. Theme song is beyond kickass though.

Judging on the lack of comments I suppose you could make an argument for no.

But it has been seen by a large group of anime fans, and was a title that was broadcast on cable and during peak hours. So it does have some importance on being one of the torch bearing titles that ushered in a second wave of anime fans.

I personally found it to be a good series that has aged a bit, but still rather solid. Simple, not complicated. The "fill" was just fun story, that makes you enjoy each character. I still think the episode where Aisha Clan clan was in the tournament was quite funny. An episode that served little purpose than to be good entertainment.

It is actually older than Bebop, the Manga was written in the mid 90's, where Bebop first came out as an anime in 98.

So my final thoughts; I would agree that as time goes by the significance of the title will diminish as well. And unless it gets one of those reboots, or movie sequels like Trigun, then it will slowly fade away.
