Martian Successor Nadesico, Slayers, Lost Universe and Neon Genesis Evangelion were great.

Lost universe did get a second manga back in 2002 - Lost Universe Special

One of the few anime i ran in to as a kid before i had access to imternet, brother had this VHS tape of most the episodes and loved the space ship theme of it funny that i only finished the series as an adult still loved the universe not to much the characters as an adult.

I like the parallel of Dark Star Dugradigdo in slayers and lost universe and their unic ways to make all things stop

Now it finally make sense, that's why I always have a feeling that this both anime feel similar

I saw this back in day when it air on...the internatiional channel if i remember correctly. Though not as good as lina inverse i still very much enjoyed it. Its a shame this series never took off, rewatching it again and still enjoy it despite some of its fault. Really do miss the space adventure genre, be nice to see more like this or outlaw star.

Was I the only teen at the time who ONLY watched lost universe? And, never watched slayers? Anyone out there? Hellooooo? >.<

Lost universe was one of my childhood animes, i love it again, being honets with you, i only watched losu universe but never slayers, now that i have access to internet i will search slayer of couse. lost universe is really good ! but this anime doesnt have like a concrete final right , i hope that the manga helps me to clarify more from this anime! thanks a lot for your video, its really difficult to see videos about lost universe.

This was my favorite anime for the longest time. I watched the Cantonese dub on TV when I was little and bought the VCD box set. I instantly bought the Nozomi DVD box set and soundtrack when I stumbled upon them at two different conventions. The hero ship is still my favorite starship design of all time and I really wish they made model kits of it and other ships as well. That early CGI still looks decent. I love the originality of the weapons effects and how the FTL effects are different for each type of ships. I want merch! I want to buy and read the light novel (I don't know Japanese)! I know there are some differences between the novels and the show. Side note, the Cantonese transliteration of Canal Vorfeed is amazing! Vorfeed was made into something along the line of "old flying dagger."

Back when the default was trope-filled space opera instead of isekai for popular anime

Wow! Great writing, this anime "deep dive", if we can call it that. Just saw episode 1 an hour ago. Got reeled in by the very 90s-looking thumbnail of Canal.

Kinda unfair to use the Dirty Pair clip when talking about 'trashy anime harem looming over the genre', as they weren't involved with such activities...just sexy dangerous ' Trouble Consultants.' That said, great video retrospective! Saw Lost Universe on air in Japan and the ADV dub on the criminally overlooked ' International Channel' back in the day. Sadly LU didn't do too well ( aside from the the production issues) was the fact it just wasn't Slayers! After Slayers Try wrapped up, we fans were hungry for more! Alot of fans didn't like the limited characters, as we missed the larger roster of characters we grew to love over time, and the cgi wasn't loved...it was just ' there'. The production on the previous show was PHENOMENAL, so seeing a new show borrow heavily from it was nice...but did notice a dip in quality here and there. Many of us just referred to it as Slayers 4: IN SPACE!

Let's recapture lightning in a bottle! It will work THIS time!

I loved this show when I was younger only got to see it in Spanish 😂

I watched Lost Universe en Espanol xD it was on Telemundo or something and when i was young i did not mind.

I am trying to remember if I every watched this one. It's ringing a bell, but nope. Too much old anime not enough braincells, but I do remember Slayers.

I may have cried as a kid when I saw the Sword Breaker break

Lol I was like 1 when I first watched it probably my first anime

This was successful in latin america back on those years.

what about barom one?
