Awesome, still looking forward to this! Finally an airdate
But January? Glad it's relatively soon but I hope that doesn't mean it'll only be a short 12/13 eps after this long wait, that'd be a bit of a letdown, I'm hoping for something in the 26 ep range so it can be a bigger adventure story and also since space scifi is so rare these days. |

Nice. And I never thought that the word "Bodacious" will be used for an anime title
And the casts are Katou Marika: Komatsu Mikako Chiaki Kurihara: Kanazawa Hana Endou Mami: Omigawa Chiaki (Marika's friend that work together at Lamp) Glewell Serenity: Tomatsu Haruka Katou Ririka: Kaida Yuko Misa Grandwood: Itou Shizuka Cain McDougal: Matsukaze Masaya Hyakume: Fujiwara Keiji Courier: Horie Yui Schnitzer: Miyaki Kenta Ruka: Mizuhara Kaoru Sandaime: Matsuoka Yoshitsugu Narration: Koyama Rikiya Recently bought another work by Sasamoto Yuuichi, "星のダンスを見においで" (Let's go and see the Star Dance). The opening scene is quite similar to Miniskirt Space Pirates, where ships are coming out to/from Galaxy Corridor

There is going to be a Pre-Air Event on December 11th at Ikejiri Oohashi 2.5D (Ticket 1000Yen). Director and casts will be attending, and new PV and details about theme songs will be revealed. And according to the official site, there is a possibility for the casts to change. Source
Edit: With the announced casts are the same, here are the new ones, (official site updated as October 21st) Spoiler for additional casts:
All the above spellings are my take. The official one will probably be different :P Novel vol 7 will be on sale November 18th Edit: According to someone who reviewed vol 6 at amazon jp, the person claimed to be of 60 years old. So yeah, the show is supposed to be less in the fanservice department, but the story may not be for everyone. Was LOGH was for everyone?

There was a special message (short interview) from Sasamoto regarding the anime Source
- Sasamoto anticipation is bigger than anxiety regarding this anime - The author didn't involve in the selection of seiyuu. He let Satou (director) to do as he likes, but in return "Please make it an interesting story" Spoiler:
- When asked about the concept and theme of Miniskirt Space Pirates, he originally intended to write "A decent Space Story", but if "A decent Space Story" alone, it will become too hard and no one will follow. "Put in high school girl and let them wear pirates suit, and it became soft and reader will be able to follow (笑) (lol)" - Look forward to the anime Edit: Spoiler:

Kawamori Shouji of Macross, Eureka 7, 0083 etc fame did the design for Odette II. At first, it only has 3-parts sails, before it increased to six, and ended with nine. He enjoyed designing it link
I think he refers to Odette II's solar sails, which loosely resemble IKAROS's solar sail Spoiler for IKAROS:

Just now checking up on upcoming Winter 2011 shows.
This will be either extremely good, or a fun mess. Hard to imagine how the fusion of miniskirts, space action, and pirates, could create anything else. So I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Sasamoto always uses female character as the MC. Though there are instances such as 裏山の宇宙船 and 妖精作戦 where there are male MCs, but the female MCs are more important
If one is to pick which male has more page-times in the MouPai novels, it will be Cain McDougal Spoiler:
The main site background images has been updated for quite a time, in case no one notices. Aside from the main casts, I couldn't determine which girl is who, well except probably the first two from the right (Jennie, Rin) and the last one (that would be Mami) Spoiler:
So we already know Odette II and Bentenmaru. Looking forward to Barbarossa (Chiaki's father's ship) For a ship that means "Red Beard" in Italian, how did the captain ended up as "Black Beard" . Sure bring back the memories of Siegfried from LOGH ;_; Spoiler:
Spoiler for Vol 3 pg 248:

^ I think there are space anime post TTGL like Space Cake, Cobra, etc. But not many of them took place in Tau Ceti like Mouretsu Pirates. Those who familiar with Asimov's Foundation novels and Wing Commander games would probably remember that location

The director, Satou Tatsuo had experiences in directing anime with female MC/large female casts and involving space/mecha. I personally recommend Uchuu no Stellvia and Nadesico.
In fact, he is the chief director for Rinne no Lagrange scheduled for January next year Edit Spoiler for Vol 7:
Edit II Washio Naohiro (Link 1, Link 2) is in charge of designing Bentenmaru. He said he is a novice (yeah right :P), and he hoped with the Mouretsu Pirates anime, the fans for SF will increase Washio also did novel illustrations for Japanese and Japanese-translated English SF novels Edit III vol 7 is delayed to November 25th Edit IV: I just noticed the Skull with a Biwa sign at Benten Maru's hull. The 丸 "Maru" can be used as a suffix to ship's name Link, so the ship name is to honor the goddess Benten . The seven crews + Princess Gleewell probably refers to the goddess' eight hands, with Marika as the head :P Edit V Newtype. Here hoping someone will deliver HQ version

All the talk about it not possibly being a harem series due to the lack of a male lead ignores the the fact that only guys can have one.
Either way I am really glad it doesn't look its going to be a harem series but a SciFi action one. Though if we do get some Yuri I'll be happy. |

Speaking of which, I wonder why space SciFi anime series has become rare these days? I can't remember one, at least one that is not mostly a mecha series, off hand for the last 4-5 years. Nanoha is partly space SciFi, but its mostly a magical girl/mecha series hybrid. Last edited by Stevie_Nix; 2011-11-10 at 15:28. |
