I don't know if Irresponsible Captain Tylor is old enough to call a “classic” yet (its TV series aired in 1993, and an OVA was released in '94), but I'm absolutely confident in saying it's a fantastic show. Justy Ueki Tylor is a total slacker who finds himself in command of the battleship Soyokaze, which he transforms from a violent dumping ground for the Earth Federation Space Force's rejects into one of the most effective (and infamous) teams in the galaxy...but no one's ever sure if it happens by Tylor's design or by accident. Is he a genius, or a complete idiot with the best luck in the universe? Either way, it's epic win for those who watch.
Why am I bringing it up now? Nozomi Entertainment has just announced that they'll be issuing the entire TV series as a single box set featuring thinpack cases and, more importantly, remastered footage. The 26-episode box set is coming out May 26 for an SRP of $49.99 USD.
Now, if only all those remake-happy studios in Japan would consider making more new Tylor anime...
