Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best series bar none
Review: "Right mix of everything" pretty much covers it... Cowboy bebop went to number 2 spot after watching this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great anime
Review: Captain Tylor is the best anime I've seen since Cowboy Bebop. And it is just as good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ranks High
Review: Cowboy Bebop, the Slayers, Tenchi, Giant Robo, Evangelion, and Vision of Escaflowne (TV series) are some of the best anime series I've come across--Irresponsible Captain Tylor ranks right up there with the best of them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, Interesting... A great anime for a DVD collector
Review: Ever since I saw Tylor in the original japanese with subs on an old VHS cassette, i was hooked. this is not only funny, but a great series for everyone to watch... my wife and I thoroughly enjoy watching this series, because it appeals to everyone... and I would say that I am a pretty committed anime fan, too...

its worth adding to your collection

Summary: irresponaible captain tylor
Review: First things first, BUY THIS BOX SET. I'd never heard of captain tylor until i read the reviews from zack davidson, vincent vu and steve ressel, and i was sold (I don't think they could put it any better). This is probably one the best anime series i've seen, i think i had a smile on my face for the whole 11 hours. It has just the right blend of comedy, romance, action and just a little drama. In short, if you by this series you will not be disappionted.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great series but the 4th disc is defective

Summary: its got jason in it! O_O
Review: Growing up in a Trekkie household, I found Tylor to be the perfect yin to Star Trek's yang. Tylor, quite simply, is the anti-Kirk, and it works beautifully. This series is one of the most beautiful productions I have ever seen, and is the perfect blend of comedy and drama, with even the most minor of characters fleshed out. From what I understand, this series was a labor of love ... and it shows.

For the space opera genre, which often takes itself way too seriously, it's refreshing to see a takeoff on it that isn't overtly slapstick. Instead of going for sight gags and below-the-belt humor, the writers go for wry, witty dialogue, and allusions to many a classic science-fiction novel and movie. The situations, while unbelievable, are still plausible ... they really could happen in battle, and you never really figure out whether Tylor is along for the ride or really IS the great tactical genius in military history.

Again, though Tylor is the main character, and an incredibly good one at that, he doesn't steal the show. He has the perfect balance of supporting characters, ranging from Yuriko Star, the uptight, by-the-book lieutenant; Yamamoto, the even-more by-the-book traditionalist, who is prone to weeping spells and (ultimately useless) dramatic speeches, the marines Andressen and Cryburn, who could have been pulled out of Starship Troopers (mind you, the Heinlein novel, not the Hollywood travesty), and the obligatory cute teenage twins, Yumi and Emi, who turn out to be pretty darn good fighter pilots. Even Jason. Yes, THAT Jason, the star of so many slasher films, is a crew member on the Soyokaze. And a good team player to boot! (Who'd have thunk it?)

In short, Tylor is a smart spoof that stands up quite well on its own. With an engaging plot, wonderful characters, well-rendered world-building, and surprisingly sympathetic "bad guys", Tylor will still be as fresh years from now as it is today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great anime.
Review: I had high expectations for this anime, when my friend handed it to me and told me it was great. I put it in, pressed play, and for the first 2 shows, I didnt think it was that good. But then I started liking its slapstick humor and its strange script. I wouldnt expect alot from this show, but you will grow to love the show. Dont expect great depth, huge character devolpment, or a innovative plot. Just expect a simple quarky show thats really funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was a wonderful series
Review: I really enjoyed this series, from the silly antics of Capt. Taylor, to the serious additudes of the crew. This was a well thought out series, from the 1st episode to the last. I suggest this to anyone who enjoys comedies, startrek, or any scifi. This was dubbed very well and the voice actor are familiar if you've seen slayers dubbed (you should recognize the voice actor for Capt. Taylor). I recommend this series to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Irresponsible of you to miss this Great Series!!!!!
Review: I'm not going to go into to much detail with my review. All I would like to say is that The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is a rare type of Anime. Its the kind where you laugh, but at the same time feel that you have come away from it having learned something. Its hard to explain. But what I will say is the world would be a better place if more people had Tylor's attitude.
The series is laugh out loud funny and rich with characters. Sometimes certain characters are left out of the loop and are underused or undercharacterized but its not enough to take away from this series.
The over all story is really enjoyable and the Final battle is very intense, and the victory OUTSTANDING!!!
This series also has one of the most satisfying endings I have ever encountered and left me wishing it never ended (there is the OVA series you can watch after this, a sequel of sorts, to the first series).
The extras on the DVD are wonderful, ships schematics (ALL of them, even ships seen for 2 seconds in the series), character synopsis, music videos, and more.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good anime series and to people who want to get a taste of what anime has to offer. I highly recommend this to everyone you will not be disapointed!!
