Hey...I just started watching the toonami version of this on tape....anyone seen the full unedited verson? And would like to toss out there own personal review? I would be much abliged. I am thinking about buying the box set on DVD but was curious how much nudity, violence....etc etc. Thanks.

The original has nudity, and many, many sick jokes. It would go on my "I have better things to watch ... like a wall." list. I don't know about the violence content.

Been a couple of years since I've see it, and I haven't seen the whole thing but here goes...

There are some gay jokes. One of the supporting characters (the arms dealer guy) is gay and attracted to the main character (who is repulsed by the idea). Nothing new really, since the same plot device seems to keep cropping up in other anime...

There is some nudity. The ship's pilot/navigator/or whatever has to operate the ship in a tube of water, and apparently needs to do it starkers. No reason for this other than pathetic fan-servicing really.

As far as violence goes, it didn't seem to be especially gory. It's got gangs of space pirates, a professional assasin, and the series hero is after revenge for his father's murder, but there are no fountains of blood or anything.

Anyways, what I saw of the series wasn't terrible as far as entertainment value goes (although I think what I saw goes only up to the first four tapes), although its not something I'd go out of my way to find. Even discounting the naughty stuff, it's not terribly original.

PS. Is it just me, or does the opening song sound like a Japanese version of Monster Magnet?

I've been digging around online...and it seems there is more "stuff" in the unedited version then I thought....anyone know where I can buy a Toonami version of it?

i have all of Outlaw Star in subtitles. I personally though it was an awesome series. Simular to Cowboy Bebop. It does have some gay jokes in it, but I've learned to ignore it because of the wanderful plot to it. I haven't watched it in a while though...
