We finished watching the series, at last... it's been a long trip, as I'd seen the first 4 episodes months ago, and due to their quality, had postponed until recently. Actually, until I bought the bluray boxset, including the entire show, in HD, and it's a marvel.

The show is beautifully drawn, is very often very funny, and each character has a story.

It revolves around bounty hunters, in space... that's all I'm gonna tell you (apart that it's an animated show).

Sometimes a little, and even a lot violent, but most of the bloody scenes are well done and not over the top, which I really appreciate.

The English dub is very good, the music's ok, the intro is a bit too loud for me, but we didn't play it every time so that was ok.

Overall, I give this a solid 8, possibly 9 (there are a few really wacky stories in there).

Next time, we'll watch it in the original Japanese, and check out the extra features.
