The Irresponsible Captain Tylor (無責任艦長タイラー Musekinin Kanchō Tairā) is an anime series based on the series of light novels by Hitoshi Yoshioka. It was produced by Tatsunoko Production and broadcast between January 25, 1993 and July 19, 1993 by TV Tokyo.

Subsequently, the series had a sequel consisting of 10 episodes produced in OVA format by Studio DEEN. Both series are distributed across North America by The Right Stuf International.

Synopsis Justy Ueki Tylor had his life all planned out: join the military, get a cushy desk job, and then retire with a big fat pension check. The perfect plan...until he wandered into a hostage situation and somehow managed to save an Admiral! Now Tylor, a man who wouldn't know what discipline was if it bit him in the backside, has been made Captain of the space cruiser Soyokaze! The crew of this rundown ship is the craziest, rag-tag team of misfits you're ever likely to see, and they're not too fond of their complacent new leader. But they had better learn to work together, because they're about to go head to head with the mighty Raalgon Empire! For better or for worse, the Earth's fate has been placed in the hands of a man who's either a total idiot, or an absolute genius...
