winry_rockbell_117★★★☆☆EP 1This is definitely not for everyone because the Gielen twins are way too sadistic and Sarah deserved better
Once a princess, now an outlaw, Sara Scorpion carves her way through a galactic empire that's already tearing itself apart. Former princess, current outlaw, she commands the Scorpion Legion and hunts for the legendary Sword of Bernstein, the one thing that could restore her claim to the Imperial Throne. The problem is, everyone who knows anything about that sword is tangled up in the same corrupt aristocracy that destroyed her family. This is a dark, gritty sci-fi OVA with a heavy supernatural undercurrent, and it does not shy away from how brutal that world is. The villains here, particularly the sadistic Gielen twins, feel genuinely threatening rather than cartoonish, and Sara's position is consistently precarious in ways that keep the tension real. At four episodes, it moves fast and commits fully to its tone. If you grew up watching Space Pirate Captain Harlock or Space Adventure Cobra and appreciated that brand of morally complicated space opera with a lone, hardened protagonist, this scratches a similar itch. Fans of Mezzo Forte who want that same adult-oriented sci-fi action energy will also find familiar ground here. Worth noting upfront: this is a hentai OVA, so the mature content is explicit and woven into the story rather than incidental. If that's not your thing, this one isn't for you. But if you're looking for a short, dark sci-fi story with a resilient female lead navigating a genuinely hostile universe, it delivers on that premise.
Sara Scorpion, a space pirate captain, embarks on thrilling adventures across the galaxy.

reiner_ronin★★★★☆EP 1I was staring at the screen when Sylia showed up because the animation during that space fight was actually decent
m1ndc0mm4nd3r★★★☆☆EP 1Those twins are pure evil and the way they set that trap for Sylia and Sarah was brutal and cold
jonathan_joestar_196★★★☆☆EP 1The sci-fi setting looks way better than you might expect and seeing Sarah lose her pride to those twins was rough
rukia_reaper★★★☆☆EP 1Sarah gets caught so fast and the Gielen twins are actually terrifying villains for this kind of show
devonte2847★★★★☆EP 1Sarah really felt like an untouchable pirate knight at first but the way the gielen twins cornered her was actually terrifying, and I think the supernatural elements added a weird layer to the whole space setting that worked well for the dark tone, seeing sylia show up to face those corrupt aristocrats was a good highlight and the visuals are very high quality for an older show
ai_hayasaka★★☆☆☆EP 1it feels like they just want to break sarah down and the gielen twins are just disgusting characters with no depth
luck_lightning★★★☆☆EP 1that ending with sarah in a desperate spot against the aristocrats was intense and the sci-fi setting looks fantastic
jotaro_kujo_195★★★☆☆EP 1I found the twins and their slave trade business to be way too dark and the supernatural elements felt a bit rushed
gilbert_bougainvillea★★★★☆EP 1the animation on the space battles was surprisingly good, and sarah's design looked amazing when she was dancing through the empire ship
gohan_glory★★★★☆EP 1I could not get over the contrast between the silver knight sylia and the dark atmosphere of the slave traders ship
larry★★☆☆☆EP 1the plot is way too mean and seeing a strong character like sarah get treated like that by the twins was just gross
croaa★★★☆☆EP 1sarah being a pirate knight is a cool setup but seeing her fall into that trap was brutal and the art style is great
capiiii★★★☆☆EP 1the dark retro sci-fi look was very cool and seeing Sarah get caught by those creepy twins was such a shock
ruby★★★★☆EP 1those gielen twins are pure evil and they really caught her off guard and the whole thing felt super uncomfortable
rembestgirl★★★★☆EP 1Sarah was walking right into a mess. Those aristocrats were way more twisted than expected for the first episode
c_c_code★★★☆☆EP 1The retro sci-fi look in this episode is actually pretty cool, but the plot is definitely not for everyone because it gets very dark very fast. I was interested in Sarah as a pirate knight and seeing her fall into the hands of those twins felt like a total nightmare. It is definitely more focused on the corruption and the cruelty of the world
tsunade_titan★★★★☆EP 1The Gielen twins are absolutely disgusting. They have zero shame about what they do to their captives in that dark room
ritsuko_akagi_183★★★☆☆EP 1That space setting is super grim and the way the galaxy is just falling apart makes the whole situation feel much darker for the characters
spike_spiegel★★★★☆EP 1I really hated those twin slave traders. Seeing Sarah get caught in that trap was so frustrating to watch because she seemed way too strong for that
