Mostly enjoyable specialy in the self contained episoded the overarching plot falls into itself

Down on their luck found family of space criminals deal with life and dark pasts

Warnings: suicidal intentions, clichee native characters, unadressed homophobic and transphobic character design dialoge and script, as well as less then stellar handling of sex work

I like the episodic episodes, I like to see them try (and mostly fail) to get by, I like most of the genre parodies/homages. I do not like Spikes plot, its clichee, and underuses the female characters and the conclusion is so 13 year old nihilism that doesn´t give anything to me personally.

The movement is often nice, the fighting is fun to watch. The backgrounds are at times amazing, with a very lived in feel. The character designs don´t realy woah me though.

The main cast can be really enjoyable specially when they play off on eachother. Jet and Spike have amazing chemistry, and Fayes character is more genuine then I though she would be.

Spoiler: The ex lovers (Julia and Vicious) from Spikes past however are very underdevolped which dampens the story.

The violent transphobia is mostly what keeps me from being able to stand all the uncritical praise the anime gets, like I had fun, mostly, I had emotions, but was it worth it? I am not sure.
