Anime in focus: Outlaw Star Episode 2



 <- Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, the suitcase you've been protecting has a person stuck inside of it


<-Previous Episode


Well, since I was at a friends house doing a anime watching spree with some friends, I had to watch the second episode of this series immediately after the first. I had no objections to this fortunately.

This episode starts with a flashback talking about growing up and the effects it has. Then we get back to where our main characters were originally, running away from some freaky wizards, hiding in a farm, realizing that the suitcase they were protecting had a person in it.  Unfortunately, the wizards that were attacking them are able to track them down. To make things more difficule, they are running low on wizard penetrating ammo, forcing James and Hilda to go out and get help, so they can escape the planet. This triggers a flashback with Gene showing the last time he was in space, and his father was killed, causing him to avoid space after that.

Anyways, the group winds up escaping the planet, now with the addition of the creepy chick in the suitcase, although barely, and with no shortage of EXPLOSIONS. This leads the characters to Hilda’s ship, where we hear some exposition on SPACE politics.

Episode ends with the main character’s hiding out in a hotel, then getting attacked. No resolution on this, leaving a “to be continued”. I like that attitude, since it pretty much forces you to come back with the promise of violence. Kinda like how School Days does things. Needless to say, I’ll be watching the next episode sometime soon.
