[@SuperFusionAJ93]

Holy Shit the actual Voice of Gene.

[@Shendowx]

Nice to hear your voice again Gene👍 Really wish we get a new Outlaw Star series.

[@lizard81288]

I'd even settle for an OVA about that Eldorado light novel explained in the video. It's too bad we got Angel links instead....

[@AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

Shendowx Outlaw Star and Vandread both are series I wish we got sequels for.

[@samuraigundam0079]

I was taken aback when I heard him. It’s always great when a voice actor is also a fan.

[@countfrackula6707]

...and not the terrible one that they had planned *where Gene ditched the entire rest of the cast...*

[@samuraigundam0079]

Count Frackula Was that really the idea behind the sequel? Why would Gene ditch his crew? Melfina is necessary for the Outlaw Star to function.

[@AmericanMiyazaki]

My acting coach, Peter Spellos, was the voice of Gilliam in the English Dub!!! Can’t wait to show this to him!

[@Sonicfalcon16]

That guys was awesome. Good actor

[@MrRenegadeshinobi]

Lucky!!!!

[@cartoonking1895]

I wish I could have him as a teacher!

[@mystic8580]

Absolutely loved Gilliam!

[@OutlawMantis]

Bob Buchholz! You really outdid yourself this time. Thanks a lot for the shoutout at the end. This is a great second part and I learned a few new things. You certainly have a keen eye for details and I never guessed Rachel's birth date actually meant anything. We already discussed this, but despite this being a very worthy part two, there's lots of other Outlaw Star info that couldn't make it into the video. (Some of which we're still halfway through translating.) I am the owner of Outlaw Star Nexus, an Outlaw Star forum. For a long time we've been translating the manga on/off but it's gaining a lot of momentum now and we're on the third volume. If you're interested in the manga, come visit! We're also discovering a lot more information about Outlaw Star 2: Sword of Wind by translating documents that (currently) can't be found online. Sunrise was considering a second season (not necessarily the Sword of Wind OVA), with Gene Starwind facing a new villain called Gamron who used to be Suzuka's lover. A ship smaller than the XGP called the Muramasa was to replace the Outlaw Star, and the Anten Seven pirate Shimi was to make an appearance, owning his own ship called the Murasaki Gasumi-tou. Gamron's ship was called the Sensyu, and featured four grappler arms, and features that made it even better than the MacDougall Brothers' El Dorado/Shangri La. Once again, thanks for the shoutout and I hope some fans will learn a few new things from this comment! :D (LOTS more to come! We've got piles of pages to translate.)

[@ZombieChimps]

^^^^^ This. The progress on the Manga and supplementary materials (including the Light Novel shown in the video) has been really impressive lately. I recommend to anyone who's interested to pay a visit to the Outlaw Star Nexus

[@PiratePazu]

Was going to send you this link Mantis but figures you already found it, haha. Will hit up the forum again soon!

[@OutlawMantis]

@@PiratePazu See you there! :D

[@AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

That sounds badass.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

clearly you're the guy to go to about Outlaw Star info. I'm curious if you've done any digging into the similarities between Outlaw Star and Firefly. they're too similar to be a coincidence.

[@DiscoCokkroach]

Great to hear Bob's voice again. I legitimately got teary-eyed when he referenced Gene's iconic, "And, of course, the Outlaws," line at 5:26.

[@DTBluesreviews]

It's a shame he doesn't voice act anymore he's got a great voice

[@Jeffersonia120]

He mostly directs nowadays. and plays little bit parts in those titles.

[@AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

I was wondering if he did VA anymore. Now I am sad. :(

[@EChacon]

@@Jeffersonia120 I heard he also created his own recording Studio: Spliced Bread Productions and most of the titles have been some of the recent Netflix anime shows. Also Tony Oliver is in the same boat as Bob Bucholz as he seems to do mostly voice directing these days primarily at Bang Zoom!

[@DrRoo91]

He still Voice acts but he's doing a lot of Voice Directing for big projects.He was the voice director and provided small roles in FFVII remake.

[@SpacemanHardy]

He just recently got announced to be in the dub of A Whisker Away.

[@xell4701]

Hearing Gene’s voice again makes me feel like a kid. Outlaw Star is still my favourite anime series and I still rewatch it regularly

[@CantankerousDave]

I'm impressed that you caught the Cordwainer Smith reference. He's my favorite author in the "weird-ass sci-fi" genre (he also coined the term Instrumentality of Man, though I'm told that Hideaki Anno was unaware of it). Similarly, the concept of 龍岩 ("dragonite") being discovered in a meteorite and being used in a space drive is lifted from E.E. Smith's "Skylark of Space," and "ether" and "sub-ether" are also Smith-isms. And red hair and the name MacDougal also figure highly in the Lensman books. Heck, the assassin Leilong wears a dang Lens. The whole thing is a love letter to pulp sci-fi. (I was the translator on the show, BTW. There's an art book that has an interesting worldbuilding essay that goes into detail on the tech, the speed differences in FTL drive grades, and so on.)

[@TTTac]

The last quote got me teary eyed with nostalgia

[@ooodatsgottahurt1625]

I hope you see this comment Bob, Outlaw Star is one of my favourite childhood animes, and you brought Gene to life for me so thank you and all the best.

[@DocOmally101]

Holy shit, Gene and Outlawstar. Best day in a while

[@YusukeKnight]

I loved Outlaw Star so happy to have this series in my collection

[@carlbloke8797]

Thank you so much for not only being the voice of Gene Starwind but for being the narrator of this episode!

[@Kittenball]

Oh man I've been rewatching the Outlaw Star dub. So cool to hear Gene doing this! One of my favorite series of all time.

[@TheToonamiRevolution]

One of my favorite series and voice actors. This made my evening.

[@toonamife]

Outlaw Star the stuff of legends. Really brings a tear to my eye to see this. Much love n respect

[@dresarcade8074]

Holy crap.... Here I am.. 32 just finding this out. You're my hero

[@longregrets6184]

I'm getting such a Toonami flash back here. Outlaw star aired on cartoon network about six months before bebop did. I remember the first time I saw bebop I kept thinking man this is just like outlaw star. Little did I know they were both by the same studio,$unrise.

[@9unslin9er]

No way!!! This show WAS my adolescence.

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

OUTLAW STAR TRIGUN AND OF COURSE COWBOY BEBOP. Were ky JAMS. Sci fi meets the wild frontier.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

You might wanna look into _Coyote Ragtime_ too then. Personally, I thought it was pretty enjoyable though not quite on the same level as any of those. It's that same kind of thing though; space western as can be. Whole thing felt like ufotable's attempt to do a Cowboy Bebop-type show. Heck, even the name seems pretty much just an "homage" to Cowboy Bebop (the term 'Coyote' in the series refers to criminals and pirates, so it's got the same the same "Lawless person + type of music" thing going on) It's also on KZbin entirely for free, since it's one of those shows like _Vandread_ that Funimation picked up when they acquired ADV Films' old library, but they don't seem to see any value in monetizing old stuff that isn't popular :P Here's the first episode if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGObdqxtqpJ7nbM

[@patrick4662]

Iconic voice! He made such an impression on me despite not being in that many titles. But at the same time if you were a fan of anime at the time you were bound to hear him: a bit part in Akira, a very creepy but somewhat tragic character in Trigun, a goofy villain in the Big O. But nothing captured his voice like this role. He exudes so much confidence, but also nonchalance, there's a bit of luke skywalker mixed with indiana jones - and also a good bit of vulnerability and self-doubt especially in the early going. He gets the best lines, he gets to have some of the best moments. But not every dub of this era is great. The outlaw star dub is outstanding and he was a big reason why.

[@Hotdogstevie]

Couldnt believe this comes out just after the weekend that i started to rewatch outlaw star!

[@xebenatrosxeracroft5178]

Absolutely loved Outlaw Star, went out of my way to see it as soon as I could once I got home from school, even have a model of the actual Outlaw Star ship floating in my game room, great anime!

[@Outlawdave]

Wow, it's so cool to hear Bob's voice again as Gene Starwind. Freaking love Outlaw Star! I'm gonna have to grab a screenshot of the original design of the Caster Pistol! That thing looks awesome!

[@N3M3S1S357]

Man.. So awesome to hear the voice of Gene again. Outlaw Star is such a great blast from my past. Takes me back to a better time in my childhood. Thanks for this one!

[@dc_latername9064]

I have an amazing story. One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of the Lord, come down to me from above. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with Him. I knew if I asked Him to play a song on the radio, He would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are..." I didn't know what station it was on or anything, but I turned the radio on and the song started playing right on the spot, perfectly... I started getting flooded with chills inside, and started crying. When I got home, He stayed with me for 10 minutes till I got out of the car. I've been getting answered prayers for around 5 years since, because that visitation eliminated doubt and I follow Biblical instructions as best as I can.

[@TheShockVox]

to this DAY I wish he did more voice over

[@Eiji475]

Damn shame this anime wasn't longer.

[@LinkSeasonMaster]

First, I get to hear Emilie Brown, the voice actress of Melfina, return to her role as Melfina for a dub of the series pilot. Then I find out about this, and I get to listen to Bob Buchholz, the voice actor for Gene Starwind himself, provide fascinating trivia for my favorite show of all time. How can this week get any better? You better get ready, because I'm stoked to find out! But seriously, thank you Did You Know Anime, and thank you Bob Buchholz. Even since I first saw Outlaw Star on Toonami, it has held a special place in my heart. It's helped me get through some really stressful times in my life, and has brought me so much happiness. So to stumble upon such an amazing love letter to the series, with the leading man himself bringing me new facts I wasn't even aware, is such a joyous occasion. I cannot even begin to express just how deep my gratitude is for having put this together. Never stop being awesome!

[@Iceaiden]

Outlaw Star > cowboy bebop yes I said it fight me

[@DagothChad]

Space Dandy > Cowboy Bebop. I got your back man!

[@devildavin]

Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star and Trigun. the Holy Trinity.

[@Videogamelover58]

@@devildavin hell yea

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

Gotta agree with you on this one, Cowboy Bebop is good but Outlaw Star has always been better in my eyes

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

York Hunt I couldn’t have said it better myself

[@Roshea]

Discovered this late but it's such a great concept to have a voice actor/actress provide background to an animation they were cast on.

[@Z-Man7]

Nice to hear Gene Starwind talk again.

[@jamesmoss3424]

Outlaw star is an brilliant 90's anime series. 😀👍

[@chillmorte]

More outlaw star! I love it! Such an unappriciated show and my absolute favourite. Several years ago I got genes star tattoo as a tattoo mysf.

[@PanteraSD]

My favorite anime of all time!

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

PanteraSD you sir have great taste

[@JRellevant]

Thank you DidYouKnowAnime for all the hard work your staff puts into these. The nostalgia is real. And it's much appreciated. Yall work so hard to put out great content and it shows! So thank you!!

[@mechajay3358]

That show is definitely one of a kind.

[@Blazah99]

Outlaw Star is one of my all time favorite animes and the character of Gene Starwind is super cool, and HIS actor is the NARRATING THIS!

[@candyman02]

I dont ever read the manga novels, but i love outlaw star so much to the point where i would actually read it

[@ArynBendah]

Holy ship, it's Bob Bucchols!!! This is awesome!!!

[@devildavin]

still one of the coolest fucking guns to ever come out of fiction, those awesome Casters

[@TheLanydx]

Outlaw Star will always be my favorite anime, and hearing the English voice actor of Gene Starwind really makes my day.

[@Squiggles01]

Thanks Gene... Lets keep on exploring what this life has to offer us!

[@Videogamelover58]

HOLY FREAKING SHIT!!!!! THE VOICE OF GENE STARWIND!!! IM GEEKING OUT

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Man, these vids are always so well-produced and loaded with cool info! _Angel Links? Future Retro Hero Story? [DOGS]_ and _Black Mind_ (at 5:02)? Why do I try relaxing whenever I start watching these things - I should know by now I'm going to have to Google a lot of these things! (^-^)

[@RigalicReign]

Fucking chills at the end. I miss this series.

[@Sk00maPipe]

I LOVE YOU BOB, PLEASE VOICE MORE THINGS ONE DAY

[@Sonicfalcon16]

This was a great choice.

[@dusk4410]

I expected the theme song at the very end. Going to rewatch OS now

[@SuperTeeter64]

Ooh maaaaaaaaaaan. I love Outlaw Star!! So very underrated!!

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

SuperTeeter64 easily the greatest anime that never got the recognition it deserved

[@SuperTeeter64]

100% agreed. No one talks about it. I mention it and no one knows what I’m talking about sometimes. 😢

[@OutlawMantis]

More overlooked than underrated, but I'd agree.

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

Mantis: Mega Outlaw Star Fan good point

[@Ash-zy9lu]

Watched all of Patlabor, naw watching nadesco and then on to outlaw star..got them all on blu ray, get my 80's 90's anime on.cant wait looks good.

[@calamelli209]

Great video! Outlaw Star is still one of my top five favorite anime of all time, and Gene (along with his badass English dub voice) was a big reason why.

[@Arkonu]

TFW you throw in the HD DvDs and they still hold up. :3

[@89Animeknight2nd]

Here's a fact you might not have known, When Outlaw star first came to toonami on cartoonnetwork back in the early 2000, Episode 23 was the ONLY episode not to air due to adult content, but would later be aired on 2018 when Toonami joined adult swim

[@urlilsolja]

my childhood!!! o the feels!

[@TheCreepypro]

always happy to learn more about one of my favorite anime and always happy to hear Bob's voice as well cause whether he likes it or not his voice is very nostalgic to me since I love the dub of this show so much a shame he couldn't continue his voice acting but who knows what the future holds? he could come back under the right circumstances am I right?

[@radfordra]

That moment when you realize that the main character is voicing the episode

[@aquadraco20]

I've never heard of this anime before today, but wow, it looks really cool! I can tell a ton of imagination, love, and creativity went into it.

[@ShirouneWF]

still my favorite anime

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

It really is tragic we never got a sequel or additional material. Hell we never even got to see the end o the manga.

[@realnimrod09]

just started outlaw star so this is perfect timing

[@ronattamurray142]

I remember watching that on toonami

[@cooleyzz]

Man. Thanks for the video with Bob. Such a great anime and to have gene voice it is fantastic.

[@diamondeyes4430]

Nice to hear again, mr. starwind....lol

[@Viroquet]

Now this is what i call fan service.

[@bamboompow24]

Dudeeee I'm flippin out! This is so cool an I cant believe Bob gave time to do this, thank you!

[@shawn680]

The best anime of all time.

[@khiclark31]

Nice ending👌🏾

[@sliver170]

A boy has the right to dream...

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

Urt, Ark and the old guy are all characters from Future Retro Hero Story. They're inclusion in the XXX Too Hot For TV episode was some kind of in-joke.

[@Sandata64RD]

Thank you

[@kjjp5072]

I am so happy atm

[@IkeSan]

Great an upload from this channel. :D

[@ant3]

It's Gene talking about Gene

[@peacemakerao]

Never clicked on anything so fast in my life!

[@kjjp5072]

I cried in happinesss

[@kyubihanyou]

Just an aside on the topic of English voice actors, but it was only learned earlier this month that the voice of Gwen Khan, Richard Barnes (aka Milt Jamin/Milton James/whatever his real name is) had died of complications from a stroke. RIP

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

Too bad. Loved that voice. Loved that dub!!

[@devaughnchambers]

I really wanna meet Bob Bucholz one day at a con. I cosplay as Gene Starwind.

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

DeVaughn Chambers from what I’ve read he hasn’t made any con appearances, now I could be wrong but I just couldn’t find anything about him being a guest at any con in the past

[@SirAsdf]

1:15 that book sounds like the product of a massive cocaine binge

[@YolandaKikou]

Awesomeness

[@Gatta1000]

great video

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

Dammit, now I feel like watching the series.

[@Forevermore907]

Great anime

[@Buckpwns]

Still one of my all-time favorite animes i saw this before Cowboy Bebop so this is above Cowboy Bebop for me

[@GravyStoneTV]

The complete series is now streaming on HULU. I've been looping it for days. I can't...Stop😓🔫

[@saiess]

I would love a bebop and outlaw crossover. XD

[@joshuaburns4797]

my fav

[@magnetdance]

The original Ron & Harry!

[@decimatorentertainmentstud8523]

Hello Gene

[@rustecohle591]

How do you guys get the original voice actors that’s awesome

[@vigo2669]

The MacDougall brothers' names are Ron and Harry. Where have I heard those two names from?

[@lolnahnvm208]

Can you please do a video on the liejiverse? Maybe Captain Harlock or Galley Express 999? There's so little content on that dude's work on KZbin.

[@9unslin9er]

Everybody knows about Cowboy Bebop, but to me Outlaw Star is the GOAT.

[@supergamerxda.k.azabuza4031]

Interesting

I have a suggestion for a video it's for Goblin Slayer.

[@brayanargandonaflorentino548]

It's time to Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Duel!

[@bobbygreen6907]

I would love a Outlaw Star/Cowboy Bebop crossover

[@coreylevine3856]

with Angles Link

[@OutlawMantis]

Not really possible. They're set in completely different universes. Takehiko Ito added a lot of detail to the Toward Stars universe, and Cowboy Bebop has a lot of its own details (e.g. alien races) that couldn't coexist with Outlaw Star. Of course, it is possible if it's not canonical. I guess anything is if you remove those limitations.

[@halkras]

can you do "ghost in the shell"????
