Outlaw Star (星方武侠アウトロースター, Seihō Bukyō Autorō Sutā, translated as Starward Warrior Knight Outlaw Star) is a manga and anime series created by Takehiko Ito.
The series takes place in the distant future, 150 years after the development of spacecraft capable of traveling faster than the speed of light, and follows the adventures of the motley crew of the titular ship: the Outlaw Star.
The English language version of the anime series was produced by Bandai Entertainment and ZRO Limit Productions. An edited version of the television series aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami from January 15, 2001 to February 16, 2001, in the block that eventually paved the way for adultswim anime.
Outlaw Star is a contemporary of Trigun and Cowboy Bebop, sharing the genre of "Space Western". Although it's underlying themes aren't as deep as those of either of the aforementioned anime hits, it's still a really fun show that has gained a cult following. Chances are, you'll find something to enjoy in the series. 
We will be watching two episodes a week and the discussion for the episodes that week will open on Thursday at midnight (so...Friday morning, technically). We will begin the first discussion on January 24th at midnight, barring any unforeseen consequences or complaints. In the past, I would put something in my sig about the current episodes we are on and the day of the discussions, but I eventually gave up on that, since most people come in here to ask about such things anyway. 
Normally, I would put something here about where you could pick up the series if you wanted to participate but lacked the episodes. However, I'm afraid I lack links to good sources for that sort of thing, so maybe some of the fans who are planning to participate can point newcomers in the right direction. Also, for those lacking episodes and money, please make sure to PM me for help. ^_^
I think that's everything...if I've left anything out, you'll make sure to tell me, right? Anyway, I look foreword the third round of [as] Old School, Outlaw Star edition! ^_^

@Mid-Boss: Hell no. The good thing about this thread is we can watch the stuff that they cut in the way it was meant to be watched.

At least now I can post Outlaw Star pics as well. Here's one to get the ball rolling.
Heh, that was the main picture on my Fan Collective page, before FC went the way of the dinosaurs....
Also, I shouldn't need to warn you about being careful with the pictures you post, too, right?
