Kain Blueriver, the hero of this sci-fi comedy, is a Trouble Contractor: he handles cases too difficult and/or dangerous for the Universal Guardians. He always wears a blue cape--even with Gundam-type robot armor--and fights with a psi blade, a weapon similar to the light-sabres in "Star Wars," powered by psychic energy. His partner in adventure is the energetic, green-haired Canal, the holographic embodiment of the control system of his ship, the Swordbreaker. In their first adventures, Kain and Canal acquire a third companion: Millie, a Jill-of-all-trades, mistress of none, who is determined to be the best in the universe... at something. Although she's a crack shot, Millie is a typical, fussy anime heroine who complains and blames everyone and everything for her repeated failures. The Swordbreaker is a "Lost Ship," a relic of the superior technology of a vanished civilization that can defy the laws of physics, motion, inertia, etc. Kain inherited it from his grandmother, whose wisdom he constantly invokes.
This quarrelsome trio retrieves stolen property, rescues runaway ships, and protects sensitive witnesses, squabbling and bickering all the way. The result is not so much a comedy-adventure as a farce-adventure.
Unrated; suitable for ages 10 and up; minor sexual innuendos and some rather tame violence. --Charles Solomon

Outlaw Star is one of my favorite series, and I was hoping LU would be a series along those lines. However, it comes up way short. All of the standard plot devices are there. Our Hero is a great fighter, driver, pilot, marksman, etc but is struggling to earn respect. He flies around in a Killer Spaceship that is better then everybody else's so that even the futursitic equivalent of the CIA asks him for help from time to time, and he has a holographic Cute Special Girl that is the soul of the ship. ...

LU really wants to be Slayers. In the spin off the writers are trying really hard for the same chemistry they developed had with slayers, but that fails utterly. Then rather than being funny or clever the charactes just end up being annoying.

Taking place in the far future. Kane was a trouble contractor, similar to a bounty hunter, he took care of problems and criminals. Wielding a laser sword and slick fighting skills, he was accompanied by Canal, a bubbly, witty hologram who also happened to represent the ship's computer system A.I.. She was responsible for piloting and manning the weapons of the Sword Breaker, a very advanced spaceship considered part of the "lost ships" mythology. Milly, an ex-detective joins the crew because she ... Read More

Maybe it's Kain's high pitched whining voice or Millie's inability to cook (blowing up kitchens? STUPID PLOT DEVICE FOR UNIMAGINATIVE WRITERS!). I rented the first two DVDs and so far have put off going further. I'll never buy the series unless it gets REAL cheap. This is a series for kids above all else; it's clean, pretty sexless, and for an adult not too interesting.
Bad points? Kain's flying around all alone but for the holographic projection from the main computer. I mean, give the ... Read More

Misfit crew on a super-powered ship on a mission to earn as much money as possible - leave the universe in the hands of this lot and it *will* be lost!
I *love* this show..! Bought it on the back of the "Slayers in space" label that's been mentioned and yeah, there are some similarities, but that's no bad thing. There's some great humour, the animation's well up to scratch (apart from some of the CGI shots of the ship...) and, while the storylines aren't going to make you think too hard, ... Read More
