Irresponsible Captain Tylor - Collection 2

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
As this zany space adventure continues, title character Justy Ueki Tylor undergoes something of a transformation, becoming less careless and more appealing: in episodes 8 and 14, he wins over Raalgon android-agent Harumi with his low-key charm. But he's still no poster boy for the United Planets Space Force. The scheming admirals at UPSF Headquarters plot what they hope will be the end of Tylor by downgrading the Soyokaze--the greatest shame a crew can endure. Even the thuggish Marines are upset, but Tylor remains oblivious. Yuriko finds a way for him to challenge the order, which he blows while his crew members consult tealeaves and pluck petals off daisies. Tylor, who attracts trouble the way a magnet attracts iron filings, destroys the fleet of the vengeful Raalgon admiral Donan through sheer dumb luck--and earns an upgrade. The thread of the narrative gets lost in episode 12, when Tylor, Yuriko, Harumi, and Lieutenant Yamamoto find themselves in a strange ghost story involving the last captain of the Soyokaze. The filmmakers never really explain what's going on, although they suggest that Admiral Fuji has been indulging in dirty tricks for a long time. A new threat emerges in episode 14, when the Frazetta-esque Shia-Has decides she will be the one to capture Tylor for the Raalgon empress. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up: sexual humor, minor nudity, violence, alcohol and tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

Description
This is the second in a set of made-for-videotape (OVA) releases made shortly after the "Irresponsible Captain Tylor" TV series concluded production, and is sometimes known by fans as "Tylor's War". They deal with events that occur about six months after the conclusion of the Raalgon war. Many years ago, Azalyn's best friend in all the universe was a similar aged boy named Ruu. Also royalty of a sort, they shared the way that children do and both pledged that one day they would rule fairly. Both also agreed that one day they would meet again. While on vacation years later, Azalyn encounters a mute and unresponsive Ruu along with a family retainer ... he's been like this since Azalyn's father ordered the insurrection lead by Ruu's family to be crushed. Should he regain his memories, he will once again lead the charge and war may begin once more. Dom realizes this. The Ashran people realize this. The Raalgon court recognizes this. Also included on this disc art stories featuring Yamamoto: the action hero, Kojiro - testing a prototype fighter, Andressen - evaluating the newest Marine Battlesuit, and "White Christmas", where it's Christmas, Yuriko is waiting and Tylor is ... late.DVD:
