In this second two-disc set of adventures, Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking shift operations to the planet Heifong, accompanied by the lovely assassin Suzuka and the cyborg Malfina. The Ctarl-Ctarl alien Aisha Clanclan joins them as a rather fractious partner. During a high-stakes space race, Gene discovers that MacDougall, the enemy he met in episode 9, is really two brothers: Harry, a psychotic cyborg, and Ron, a gelid sadist. Nasty as they are, the MacDougall brothers are small potatoes compared to the real threat Gene and his friends face. In "The Seven Emerge," Lord Hazano, the head of the 108 Stars pirate gang, sends a band of dreaded murderers after them. Hazano wants Gene's ship, the Outlaw Star, which rebel pirate "Hot Ice" Hilda gave him before she was murdered by the MacDougalls. A secret coalition of pirates and Space Force agents developed the ship: with Malefina acting as its guidance system, it's the only vessel capable of reaching the fabulous treasure hidden at the Galactic Leyline. Although he's unable to discover the nature of the treasure or the location of the Galactic Leyline, Gene resolves to take his crew there at the end of episode 18. But there's still time for plenty of comic adventure, including Gene's entry in the distaff events of the Galactic Strongman Contest as "Jenny." Rhinestone-in-the-rough Gene Starwind may remind viewers of a cross between Kain Blueriver in Lost Universe and Vash the Stampede in Trigun. Like Kain, he comes out on top in misadventures that never quite cover his expenses, and he's as formidable a marksman as Vash. But he lacks the metaphysical bent that enables Kain to wield a psi blade, and the viewer looks in vain for Vash's reverence for life and self-deprecating charm. Outlaw Star delivers an engaging, rather dark brand of comedy-adventure, although the clean-up artists on the series do very sloppy work: Gene's features change noticeably from scene to scene. Episodes included: 10. "Gathering for the Space Race," 11. "Adrift in Subspace," 12. "Life and Death Struggle with the El Dorado," 13. "Advance Guard from an Alien World," 14. "Final Countdown," 15. "The Seven Emerge," 16. "Demon of the Water Planet," 17. "Between Life and Machine," 18. "The Strongest Woman in the Universe." Rated 13 and up for nudity, sexual situations, profanity, and violence. --Charles Solomon

TAKE THE JOURNEY!.......2002-11-05

"Outlaw Star" is in my opinion, a beautiful masterpiece with an excellent storyline and unforgettable characters. The further episodes focus mostly on the bio-android, Melfina, who is still a mystery to herself! Now, the evil Mcdougal BROS. are out to cause trouble for Gene's crew and destroy them in a deadly game of survival! Harry Mcdougal, however, is after Mel for some reason. What could it be? You'll just have to find out!!

Yes, yes....i see, i see...........2002-05-12

Outlaw Star Collection 2 is just as good as the first collection. This 2nd collection introduces Gwen Khan, who designed the XGP15A-2 (aka "Outlaw Star") Gwen Khan is far and away the most annoying character in the series.
The McDogall Brothers try to kidnap Melfena, but they fail.

Yes, yes....i see, i see...........2002-05-12

Must have anime.......2002-04-04

Great animation and story line. The characters are developed well and the action is always fast paced.

More Creatures, More Information, and LOTS More Action!.......2002-03-06

This second installment of the Outlaw Star DVD collection is teemed with tons of action, humor, and more information about the main plot of the series. I personally am very happy that each DVD collection has 9 episodes per package, which saves you the trouble of buying a lot of DVD's to get the whole series(this way, unlike the videos, once you have all 3 DVDs your done), even though the price per DVD is raised a little more than your average anime DVD. These great episodes introduce you to the full universe of Outlaw Star, the great Space Race, the treacherous McDougell Brothers, the various aliens of the universe, the murderous Anten Seven(mercinaries of Hazanko, a powerful pirate leader), and the hilarious 'Strongest Woman in the Galaxy' tournament(just as a little teaser, Gene has an odd part to play in this). With all these wonderful episodes, you can't miss when you buy the Outlaw Star Collection 2 DVD. Never mind the price--it's worth every cent!
