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?!"

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

  2. 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.

  10. 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.

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

  19. Sci-Fi anime??? I haven't even heard of such a thing!!! LOL! Love it!

  20. Not one of my favorites, I'm afraid.

  21. 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. ;)

  22. 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...

  23. 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...

  24. 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 :-)
