Really enjoying this. Fast paced but doesn't feel rushed. The designs and animation are pretty dated but the fast moving story more than compensates for it.

LOL at Hilda's pajamas and Melfina's out fit. I guess the 90's were tough for everyone.

omg "Space Cherry"

I thought so-called "McCoy" would be a doctor or something.

Gene, Jim. Need a Spock.

Slightly better than the first episode, which is saying something considering how much I liked the start to the series. Very reminiscent of a Bebop/Eureka kind of show to me. On to the next one ~

Great episode! I really appreciate all the cell animation! Really makes the show lively :)

Gene bringing the big guns! Seems he had a trauma when his father saved him.

I also read the Melfina is voiced by Kawasumi, Ayako. Which is probably one of her early characters before the ever popular Saber from Fate Stay Night Franchise :)

Next episode!!!

This was an exciting one! That scene with Gene and Hilda getting attacked in the hotel was quite atmospheric. Also, Carbonites are cool.

In the Japanese version, Jim calls Gene "Aniki". What are they, yakuzas? Well, the setting takes place in the near future. And what Jim means by calling Gene a space cherry is that he's a space chicken. He has space phobia. And Hilda was one of those rebel outlaws. Keeping the girl Melfina alive so they could escape from some pirates. And Melfina looks like one of those nice, sweet, innocent looking kuudere girls. Quiet and soft spoken.

That Tao magic is wild.
LOL 'space cherry'. The humor is timed well and it isn't overkill.
The show built on Gene really quickly which, I feel, helps the story move along.
Solid cliffhanger.

I guess Gene and Hilda didn't get a chance to sleep together, how terrible.

I don't know what to think of the series so far, seems like it's still trying to find its footing. I feel like I'm on the precipice of liking it and not caring. The characters seem okay, but nothing has really happened yet.

Melfina's new outfit reminds me of the one Milly from Trigun wears.
