Dubbing Wikia

Outlaw Star (星方武侠アウトロースター Seihō Bukyō Autorō Sutā) is an anime series based on the manga series written and illustrated by Takehiko Itō. The 26 episode series was produced by Sunrise Animation and directed by Mitsuru Hongo, airing on TV Tokyo from January 8 to June 25, 1998.

The English version was produced by Bandai Entertainment, and was originally released on VHS in 1999, with a DVD release the following year. It received an edited airing on Cartoon Network's Toonami block in early 2001 and Adult Swim in early 2002.

Several edits were made to the series to make it more suitable for its TV airing. For example, the character of Fred Luo was altered in the TV dub to hide his homosexuality, and an entire episode was skipped over due to its sexual themes.

Synopsis

Gene Starwind and his partner Jim Hawking run a small business on the backwater planet of Sentinel III. But all that changes the day that Hilda hires them for a bodyguard job. Now, thrust into a mystery they don't fully understand, they're on the run from the cops, the pirates, an angry alien, and a mysterious assassin. But they've got one thing going in their favor—they have the galaxy's most advanced ship, the Outlaw Star.
