Moretsu Pirates: Bodacious Space Pirates

[Ryllharu]

I like the punch of the weapons. Ririka made a good argument that, for pirates anyway, the threat is more important than actually using it. If the other party knows you can punch a hole through their hull and hop back aboard your own ship leaving them to breathe vacuum, they might be more...receptive.

Another nice touch was the dockside power of the Odette II. No ship wastes reactor fuel when they can get electricity from their dock. Booting all the systems up was very methodical, and I hope they have the same approach to the electronic warfare.

Anyone else think that the Lightning 11 is really the Bentenmaru (or at least her crew)?

Either way, I'm glad they are taking the nice and slow approach to getting Marika aboard the Bentenmaru. Like Outlaw Star did.

I like the roughness of the OP song too. I doubt I'd listen to it out of this context, but it makes me smile. It's just one more of those things that makes Moretsu Pirates remind me of old space opera anime. It's unconventional nowadays.

edit: Totally forgot about it. Kurihara hanging onto her parfait the entire fight & flight. Everyone has a weakness.
