A To Z Challenge: Outlaw Star "Come On!"


For my first A to Z Challenge ever, I'm highlighting a favorite track from various science fiction and fantasy movies, games, and TV shows. Feel free to press play and listen while you visit other A to Z participants.

Thanks to Cartoon Network back in the late 90's, I found Outlaw Star, a sci fi Anime that, to this day, I have yet to find another that's equally entertaining. The frequent twists and irreverent humor had a profound impact on me, so I had to tune in after school. The score by Kow Otani lived up to the premise of outlaws and pirates in space.


There will be a new track tomorrow. Thank you for stopping by!

I'm David, and "lay off my grappler arms, will ya, buddy?!"

    I guess because the Cartoon Network came too late in my life, I've not seen the show. Thanks for the tip.

    Never heard of that. I don't think it's one they're doing on their Toonami Saturday nights at the moment though from the commercials they seem to change that lineup every other month.

    Outlaw Star! I haven't seen this in forever. Loved when cartoon network was showing this, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, etc... :)

    I think I'm too old to know this one, lol. Sounds great, though. Last night the hubs and I watched Iron Eagle with the kids...that was my childhood flashback, haha.

    That music definitely has a 90s TV show sound!

    Outlaw Star!!! Loved that anime. It's a great mix of Western and space opera.

    I'm impressed by how many places you're pulling these songs from. This one is definitely not as, erm, soothing ;) But fun!!

    Not one of my favorites, I'm afraid.

    In the late 90's I was watching Barney, but sometime I'll have to check it out. Judging from the title alone and the yin-yang in the O, it has to be a good show. ;)

    Okay, I have to be honest, I didn't realize I had the volume on my computer turned ALL the way up, so when I clicked play, the song scared the bee-jeebies out of me! Sitting in my dark, quiet house, children asleep upstairs...yikes!! :)

    Very upbeat song though! If it wasn't for the volume thing...

    Of course, didn't see the cartoon. Never heard the song before today. I like it. It is very upbeat. Makes me want to MOVE...

    I actually own this anime, but never watched it. The first CD had a bubble in it that affected the very first episode. I tried to contact the company I received it from, but they never responded back to me. I just decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

    If it came down to it, I could watch the first episode (or all of them, for that matter) online, which of course I haven't done...

    Perhaps it's due to not ever watching and getting into this anime, but I'm not much for this track :-)
