I finally got around to watch the first episode of Outlaw Star, because it sounds very much like the kind of stuff I'm into these days.
Like most 90s anime, the production values are not that great, and the pacing isn't very good.
But the story really does kick off halfway through the first episode.
This is so much better than Cowboy Bebop. (Which is soulcrushingly dull and boring.)
And according to numbers on screen, it's set in the distant future of 2011. 😆
