Outlaw Star!

I've finally gotten down to watching Outlaw Star. (Yes, the anime I had sitting on my harddisk for at least 3 years) It just seems so much like a simplified version of Cowboy Bebop. Moreover, the appropriate mood music and dramatic irony are really good at bringing the story to life, pretty much the way Cowboy Bebop did. Besides, the mix of characters is pretty similar, too. How can one not see Spike in Gene! Still, Spike's cooler. So there.
