Bodacious Space Pirates

Synopsis
Far in the future, where interstellar travel is considered commonplace, high school student Marika Katou balances her duties in the space yacht club and her job as a restaurant waitress. Following a chance encounter with a peculiar pair of customers, Marika meets them again and learns that her absent father has passed away. During his life, he was known as the legendary pirate "Gonzaemon." He has left behind his infamous ship Bentenmaru and its crew exclusively for Marika to inherit. With one of the few remaining Letters of Marque that permit legal piracy, Marika must choose whether to stay as a regular student or take up a second life as a high-octane space pirate. As Marika ponders her decision, the delicate situation attracts the eyes of various government agencies and the mysterious transfer student Chiaki Kurihara, all eager to see if the upcoming captain lives up to her father's reputation. If the crew of the Bentenmaru want to maintain their status, they will need to set sail into the vast expanse of space and once again become a name to be feared.

yo that was some avengers end game type of intro, man !!! Chiaki just kiss her, it's okay. "Yes, I'll be waiting my partner!" I NEED TO BE SEDATED I LOVE MY LESBIANS what a nice ending! although this series definitely tired me out lol, it's not for everyone especially if you're not into dialogue heavy scenes and don't wanna be bombarded with technical terms
meh that was anticlimactic what else did u want me to say >:( everyone blushing while coorie spoke, our hacker needs some loving too!!! RIRIKA IS SO COOL OUGHHH
this episode was a lot and i mean that in a good way, it made me lock in since so much action was happening. it was a very tense episode!! this was what they lacked in the previous episodes, i dont know why but i wish they kept up with this kind of pace all throughout instead of just dragging things for no reason ;---; if evil, why hot?
"To belong to no one else. To be no one else’s power." OKAY JANE AUSTEN CLOCK THAT see how they've gained my attention back when it was about to end 😭 i have a love hate relationship with this series one thing i can applaud is this series was devoid of any fan service !!!! AND EVERYONE CHEERED hold up that was a crazy cliffhanger???
that scene where they introduced that massive ship and the one with glowing purple star dusts WAS SOOOO COOL and visually pleasing damn
Lynn is so obliviously funny in this 😭 the scenes were a visual FEASTT they ate this episode up ! probably the second best episode for me, the sunrise over the glittering sea looked absolutely gorgeous!
what the dinghy. what the dinghyiante. RIRIKA ONE CHANCEEEEEEEE that beautiful scene at 11:35 tho chef's kiss that outfit is HIDEOUS at least wear some shorts Kane????
this definitely feels like one of those shows that aired at the crack of dawn where little kids with no school would tune in and i mean that as a compliment 😭 bc im starting to realize just how dragged out the pacing can feel. honestly, i take back what i said before because this probably could’ve worked better as a 12 episode series, but that’s just me lol still, this was a fun spring episode. i think this is the show’s tactic, start with intense episodes, then follow them up with a silly and more mundane arc to balance everything out?
we should all live under matriarchy atp, men r nothing but pigs there were a lot of plot holes in this one and i didn't particularly like the ending :/// it was good but wasn't executed well
I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THAT SCENE OHGMYGOD LESBIAAAAAAAAANS THATS MY BUTCH FEMME PARENTS LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST EPISODE I GAVE 5 STARS TO LMAOODFJSD
im lowkey getting bored of this ngl and it's really bad if you wish an anime would just end already T___T but i can say for sure, that raid was SO FUNNYFDHJKSF WHY WAS SOMEONE SINGING AND WHY IS THERE A CHEERLEADER- it's giving, they all went to the same function with different invitations
this episode was a MESSSSS and i dont mean it in a bad way. still, Marika's leadership shined through in this episode, although i really feel at this point of the show, they're just dragging things now...
NOOOOO THE HANTA VIRUS GOT TO THEM LMAOSJHJDJKS never in a million years would i have thought about pirates needing... insurance??? THIS IS CRACKING ME UP BRO.
not Gruier tricking Marika lmao you sly child- that's lowkey an awful shade of orange, sorry mami... i needed this episode, it's a quick break from Everything
i was like "well, that was anticlimactic" and wanted to skip some parts but GIRL NO u still have 5 minutes left until the reveal 😭
that ftl jump at 07:13 was so COOL!!! it reminded me so much of project hail mary. "It woke up." ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. A MASTERPIECE. WOW. seriously, the animation in this is INSANEEE. i may find the technical terms boring but once they show galactic scenes like that, im throwing my hands up in the air
it is so obvious that SOOO MUCH research about battleships, strategies, and hacking has obviously gone into this show because what the hell am i watching, seriously (a massive compliment)
ykw i just realized the more you watch it, the more you get used to the technicalities of it and how they rely on dialogue to move the story forward. Ii’s a slow burn for a reason and i like how they approached this plot. at first, i thought they were just dragging it out and that it could have ended by episode 12 but everything makes sense now lol. it has a slow start but im finally enjoying this series!
nothing like having zoom calls on space- OH MY, GRUIER IS SO CUTE I NEED TO STEAL HER STYLE well that was a greatly executed episode and a nice cliffhanger at that
having two jobs on top of being a first year student!? i would go insane- Chiaki calling her ditzy in the last episode only to constantly visit the cafe to look for Marika :PP i know what you are!!
