The omission of that episode crippled the finale.

When I watched it back then I was like :wtf: :aicmon: when Gene battled the Anten Seven and Hazanko with his Castor gun.

When I decided to watch the series again on DVD and caught the Hot Springs episode I was like :ohhh:

While it looked like a filler fun time episode it was actually very important to the plot because that's where Gene got them extra special shells that he used in the finale against the bad guys.

I watched this series again about 3 months ago and it aged pretty well. Its a damn shame that it was released around the same time as CB and gets overlooked by many people.

It did way better in the US than it did in Japan though.


:aicmon: @ Joss Whedon who says Outlaw Star didn't inspire his Firefly show.

They both almost start the same damn way. They're both space westerns and the main characters have almost the same goddamn morals.

Show was dope. I may watch some episodes when I get off work today, pretty sure they're all on youtube or dailymotion.

I don't know if Whedon is an anime fan but Brett Matthews is.

I remember Whedon briefly mentioning that he didn't understand why people were making the comparison. Really Joss? :leostare:

That's what I'm saying. The two shows share a lot of elements, it's so obvious. Maybe Brett threw suggestions without saying it was from OS to mix up with Joss Whedon's idea for the show.
