Easily one of the greatest things to come out of an anime! Actually, one of my favorite romance scenes in fiction period! Gene Starwind and Melfina will always be one of my favorite couples of all time!

Highly underated anime. Excellent art, great story, happy ending.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Gene could've wished for anything in the universe, to be a king, a god, all the riches and knowledge of the cosmos....instead all he wanted was love. Bravo Starwind.

I once corresponded with another fan who argued that she felt Gene and Mel's relationship wasn't real and that they only fell in love due to loneliness. Personally, I'm of the mindset that if you give up the chance to have anything you could possibly want no strings attached just to keep a girl with you, that's nothing short of true love.

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

I know people who thought Melfina was crazy to not be with Harry... Granted we were all teenagers at the time, and we had all staked a claim for team Gene (me) or team Harry (my friends) mainly due to teenage girl shallowness over appearances, but I still gathered that Harry was not boyfriend material.

[@angryman1206]

@@nightmarefanatic1819 Agreed. Harry would demand the Leyline give him Melfina whereas Gene used his wish to give her what she wants.

When I was younger, I thought they were in love, but looking back at it in my 30s, that has more of a point, imo. Your last sentence doesn’t necessarily describe a romantic love, by the way. Sacrifice on that level happens between family, friends, friends who are like family, for the sake of others out of a sense of duty, etc.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Sorry, that fan you argued with has a point, I meant.

[@angryman1206]

@@LadyAstarionAncunin Yeah well you and her are both wrong. And for the record this other fan wrote one of the most god awful pieces of Mary Sue Garbage fics I've ever read. She had no respect whatsoever for the show or the characters.

I remember this on Toonami in 2001

I was so shipping these two from the start Outlaw Star became one of my fav animes 😊

This was, by far, one of my most favorite anime kisses of all time. I wish that I had been the one to kiss Gene Starwind in this moment. Melfina is such a lucky girl. ♥️ However, as I recall back to watching this on Toonami in 2001, I don't think that the censored version that they broadcasted depicted enough chemistry between Gene and Melfina leading up to this moment, which meant that it came as a surprise to me. I always thought that he kissed her merely out of pure appreciation for the relationship and the bond that they shared, but I didn't think that they had fallen in love. The uncensored version shows so many scenes where they are attracted to each other, and Gene is obviously hot for her, and episode 23 was so racy that it wasn't even broadcast during the original run; they didn't show it until the show premiered on Adult Swim 18 years later. So I guess, in that respect, the center dub actually took away from the progression of their relationship, which is quite sad. However, Gene's character is also depicted as a bed Hopper most of the time, so it was honestly hard for me to tell that he cared about Melfina at all. All of that aside, this will always be one of those classic animes that I simply can't live without. This really makes me miss those good old Toonami days. Thank you so much for this upload, and may God bless you. 🙏

So romantic ❤

OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MELFINA!!!!!

If I had a Top 10 list of waifus. Mel would make it. I’ve got a soft spot for 90s anime chicks

[@DeadDevilDying]

This is a sweet scene, but I feel Old man and Hilda going , "Bitch wish us back." Maybe not Old man because he was probably reunited with his old crew in the after life. Still...

[@Coderain]

greatest kiss of all fiction

[@warlordstarwind5912]

First waifu

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

This is my favorite Outlaw Star moment (and some of my favorite anime music), but looking back 20 years from when I first saw it, I don’t see a romantic love between Gene and Melfina, and the kiss (not the message or the connection behind the kiss) falls flat. This was a culmination of their arcs, but the romantic aspect wasn’t really earned. It was a powerful friendship. They could have skipped the kiss and just made it a hug, but kid me would have been disappointed back then. 😅 Yes, they’re different (with similarities), but I think this is what Cowboy Bebop got right. It could have been so easy to try to add that unnecessary connection between Spike and Faye, but they didn’t, and it was for the better.

Would you happen to know the name of this song? It’s been a pleasure going through half your OST playlist but I really wanna know please

It's called Tears and is from the first OST.
