I don't understand why this gets a mid rating. Objectively, this is the best anime in existence, when comparing all aspects of animation mediums: story, hook, theme, creativity, uniqueness, audio, voice acting, animation quality, etc. Yes, there are anime that have better audio, there are those that do atmosphere better, some anime have better characters, there are those that have a better story, but Outlaw Star is the Star Wars of science fiction anime, it does everything very well. Cowboy Bebop does characters, voice acting, and action better, but story, music, pacing, hook, animation, story objects, connecting with the audience, theme, Outlaw Star wins, sometimes barely, but wins non-the-less. It's a shame that it doesn't get the fame Cowboy Bebop gets, at least, even though it objectively beats Cowboy Bebop in most aspects.
