First of all, I have to warn potential buyers of the new and used sales for this product. Those that state that the collection has different cover art or a different case are selling you a bootleg. Your bootleg could be either a very poor quality foreign sub (tend to have horrible grammar, poor image resolution, and no extras) or what is called an American Rerelease. "American Rereleases" are just bootlegged copies of the real release that have been packaged in bulk quality cases with zeroxed inserts for the cover art. While they are cheaper their sales do not benefit anyone but the bootlegger. The studio that produced and marketed the series is losing out, and buying from bootleggers taxes the legit studios by taking their profits. Profits that would later get put into bringing you new series.
So please, think about it before buying from a reseller and make sure you're getting what you're paying for. Buying from bootleggers will not get you a quality product.
With that being said, Outlaw star is the quintessential post apocalyptic space anime. Seriously. In this series you'll find an amazing cast of characters, a solid story line, and very nice animation that can still hold its own even when compared to more modern anime.
What is so wonderful about these older shows is that they were being produced when the broad audience still loved the extreme anime style and was willing to accept rather far fetched concepts without needing to be told in careful layman's terms what it all meant. The result? A series with good pace, surprises, and lots of action. Not to mention a lovable cast that, while still staying true to their extreme natures and rather stereotypical character types, are full of human emotion and still suffer from some faults.
This series does not disappoint. It's a lovely mix of actions, romance (and not that cheesy, gooey kind), and even surprises you with a few hilarious gags.
Oddly enough, the DVD case for this set reads that it comes with three disks.... But Amazon is correct in listing that it has six. I'm not sure why the official, legit release would have such a strange error on the case but don't panic if you receive yours and notice the mistake.
This release also includes the textless opening and ending, one huge plus for fans who like to watch things in their entirety.
GREAT OVERLOOKED STORY September 14, 2007

this show came into my life thanks to cartoon networks toonami a number of years ago. i was glued to the tv every evening because i HAD to know what happend next. We're talking about magic, gun fighting, space pirates, and a story of different people coming together to overcome flaws in themselves and grow as people.
i picked this dvd up a month or so ago, and im on my 3rd time thru it now, the animation is showing its age alittle, but is still done soo well that you might not ever think about it.
if you liked cowboy bebop, trigun, or even tenchi, this story might be right up your ally...
Great Product, definately approve November 8, 2008

This series is certainly, in my opinion, a staple in anyone's collection. And this collection is certainly the way to own it.
The discs in this collection are the same discs that are packaged in Outlaw Star - Perfect Collection Boxed Set repackaged into one box and cheaper.
Defiantly a good buy.
 Actually some logic and realism in it. May 18, 2010

Ok, this will not be a long review. I will tell you the best thing about this show; first off, Gene and Jim do not have a lot of money and what they do get is not kept long. Why? The ship gets damaged and they have to spend money to repair it. Finally a show that addresses the issue of 'How did they fix all that'. Plus the Castor is one of the coolest weapons I've seen in anime/regular T.V. etc. "Hand me a number 9 Jim".
