Product Description
This is the first in a set of made-for-videotape (OVA) releases made shortly after the "Irresponsible Captain Tylor" TV series concluded production, and is sometimes known by fans as "Tylor's War". They deal with events that occur about six months after the conclusion of the Raalgon war. The shooting war is over. The undefeated Soyokaze has returned home and all should be right in the universe. It's not ... the Raalgon Empire has created an incredibly powerful and destabilizing new weapon system. With the urging of the Prime Minister, they're about to deploy it and when the UPSF forces realize this the choice is clear. These are desperate times.... The shape of the future will be determined by the actions of very unlikely allies. Their choices will be difficult and their situation may well be hopeless. Any hope for galactic peace rests on the most irresponsible man in history. Perhaps Tylor will stay awake for this. Includes several music video segments featuring the cast!

4.0 out of 5 stars if you've seen the TV, but not the OVA, June 28, 2001

By	Melkor "dark lord" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

WARNING: This is not the Tylor that you're used to. A lot of people in my anime club were lost by the OVA series. It's focused heavily on the peripheral characters, the story does NOT go the direction that most of the TV series fans had hoped it would, and it is 100% serious. The clever/silly humor from the TV series was dropped for a serious story line in the OVA.

Now that you have this warning, you're ready to approach these DVD's. It's been a few years since I've seen the fan-subs of the Tylor OVAs, but the DVD quality will be far better than the 10th generation tapes that I have. As I said above, the story is told in a different style from the TV series, but that doesn't mean that it's bad. Taken on their own, I really enjoy them. I just thought I should write this brief warning because, as I said, many fans of the TV series were very disappointed when the characters' motives and actions changed in the OVA.
