Justy Tylor has no training, no skill, no initiative, or leadership qualities; in fact, he has nothing going for him except one crucial thing: dumb luck. This is his only saving grace, and it saves him from impossible odds, time and again. By sheer accident, he rescues the General's beloved granddaughters; for which, the General is extremely grateful, and as such, makes this inept recruit a full Captain, but gives him command of the lowliest ship in the fleet, the Soyokaze. This ship has a crew of misfits and mutineers, so the General is not at all worried about Tylor making matters worse. He has killed two birds with one stone: he has given this inept freeloader a 'reward' for saving the granddaughters, and also put a captain in command of a ship and crew he would just as well see engulfed by a black hole. Thus, Tylor begins an adventure that takes him from the lowest and highest positions of authority, from which he somehow manages to make things turn out for the best.
Justy Ueki Tylor thought a career in the United Planets Space Force would give him an easy life: enlist, get a desk job, spend the rest of his life in quiet, boring comfort. No sooner does he take the qualifying exam than war breaks out with the Raalgon Empire, and circumstances quickly conspire to land this volunteer off the street in command of the cruiser "Soyokaze." Now Tylor faces two uphill battles - against the Raalgon fleet that wants to kill him, and against his own crew, who expect him to conform to some standard of military discipline. But as the war rages, Tylor's easy-going ways might have a better chance of converting his crew than vice-versa.
My friend recomended this one to me and besides for its vintage age its an amasing anime.
The Story is fairly original and comes with its own unique world and honestly is unlike most animes in about every way. Perhapes its the age of the anime and perhapes its the setting but it makes you want to laugh hilariously while it still can be considered fairly dramatic yet doesnt keep you hinged on that.
The Dialgue is amasing.. Even if you can feel a hilarious spot comming up the actors all stay on que perfectly. I was plesently suprized to find many of my favorite actors who some of them where using differnt voice tones back when this was made.
The Animation is not so good. It was probably good back when it was made but I cant recall those animes very clearly since IM newer to it so i will give it the Average rating because its fairly good for its vintage .. though the screen does have the tendancy to go to half screen as is the case with most of the older ones.
The Entertainment is very wonderful. Its got hilarious laughs a riviting overall drama and a very unique world. The life messages are very interesting and originall in their own ways... Despite its slow start around episode 3, it will draw you in and make you want to watch it to the very end to find out whats going to happen next. Its a must see if you like comedy. I will give a warning that the last 3 episodes do focus more on the dramatic end to how the main overarch story of the war goes.. however the last 3 minutes brings the story to a comedic feel of full circle...
