  • the new shows they have on cartoon network are mindless shit. what happened to the good old days when they actually had good shows. there standards have gone way down. so has adult swim they have some really stupid shows.

  • I think the fact that it's not sung perfectly adds to the charm. It's more realistic that way. Melfina is just a girl singing a song she probably made up. Why should she have a flawless singing voice? Besides, it's still pretty.

  • How can people like how this sounds? She's completely tone deaf and nasal!

  • @ElqMilq Its just about feeling nostalgic. Also you have to consider this is a really old dub they didnt pick singers like in Japan where voice acting and idols is much more focused on. The orginal version sounds much better.

  • my new note tone

  • It's been proven that the CIA puts avatars in suitcases.

    So...Melfina is an avatar, and she is operated by Stan Smith.

    Seen something like that on American Dad.

  • Such a beautiful song

  • @roll002 i too remember those days rushing home to watch that same exact line-up.....me and my bestie would drink tea and eat ramen everyday while watching toonami...ahahaha

  • 08th MS Team, Outlaw Star, Tenchi and Ruroni Kenshin made my weekdays awesome

  • I long for those days v.v..Now i just have restless nights thinking of work and bills....These clips remind me, of a care free/amazing life i once had.

  • FUCK YOU CARTOON NETWORK FOR REMOVING TOONAMI I HOPE U RUIN YOURSELF WITH THE SHIT YOU HAVE NOW

  • @renfrowm they dont care for quality no more my friend, they just want kids to put on the channel... :( sad how society drops. they gave us anime and great shows to win enough to become big then drop us like flies.

  • This is quite easily one of the greatest animes of all time the ending kinda sucked couse u think there would be more but maybe the manga has the rest

  • i used to watch outlaw star at my cousin's house (not having CN at home) or on tape (he recorded the whole series). Took me a while to take it seriously, but when I did, it was brilliant. And when this song opened episode 25, I almost cried. I wrote down the lyrics, taped the song, and sang it all the time. Glad to see it on youtube.

  • zoids, dbz , outlaw star gundam wing man those were the days nothing but timeless classics

  • Ah, this takes me back to the good ol' days: coming home from high school and watching Outlaw Star on Toonami. This is one of my favorite anime shows of all time. It's a shame that it didn't last more than one season.

  • outlaw star, cowboy bebop, firefly, these were the shows that made me who I am.

  • aahhh... after school animae, wish i could go back.

  • @roll002 oh man, life was sooo much easier.  Now I have so much, college, relationships, all the adult norms. Being a kid was the shit.

  • @roll002 Those were the days were younglings had something to look forward to after school.

  • A burst of the best and worst memories rejoiced this moment. Everything will be alright. Just relax the mind.

  • Hey I absolutley loved this anime I am a white girl mixed with 1/8 of mexican in me u can tell in the summer but n e way my boyfriend told me I looked like this chick and I do especilly when I had bangs ;-)

  • If you didnt watch this Anime you truly arnt an Anime fan! That goes double if you didnt watch all the Animes on Toonami! Whats Toonami? Its God kiddies it ushered in the age of Anime to America and people back then knew what Cartoon Network was now its just a cartoon spam channel sadly. Heres to you Toonami! "The Anime God"

  • A role model television show.

  • i tought myself how to play the melody of this song on piano up to 00:40

  • Sounds better in Japanese

  • @BajanErika I totally agree dude ^^

  • too bad they couldnt get a better singer for the english dub.

    shes not bad but its just she could be alot better

  • anyone else ever notice that after naruto got moved, toonami kinda bailed? :(

  • TENCHI FUCKING RULE!

  • @AnimeGeekLover2000 hell yea Tenchi rules, I've seen every season of them. From Tenchi Universe to Tenchi in Tokyo, they all rock

  • Is this Hiro or Tsuki?

  • @Jakezing This is the english dub of Hiru no Tsuki.

  • Holy shit, I still remembered the song after son many years of not watching this show.

  • go to dubhappy.com and u can see theme all and other good animes

  • sighs. i miss the good days of Toonami when Outlaw Star, Vash, Tenchi Muyo OEM ( not GPX or TM Ryo-Oki) but the original :) and more great ones that came on.

  • @forsakenfallenangel vash was on toonami?

  • @Jakezing yeap it was :) it was on there for a while, back when tom was the 1st / 2nd tom that introduced the animes, i think back in 1999 / early 2000s i believe. been so long since i seen it. was so many good series on at the time.

  • @forsakenfallenangel I barely even remember that time anymore D: to much association of CN with adult swim and Bad cartoons

  • oh my fuckin god, in Japanese, please....

  • the best thing ever

  • honestly i can listen to this for a while and not get sick of it. it almost makes me wanna just lay back and just listen

  • wat is this anime about? i love the song

  • Comment removed

  • i miss toonami, i used to watch it everyday after school, especially ronin warriors, wild fire is mine ^///^.

  • I always hated Melfina. But this brings back good memories. :)

  • This is my niece's favorite song. I sing it to her all the time!

  • dude like 2000 and 01 were the best years of adult swim and toonami with the exception of the venture bros. which i still tune in for but thats it

  • there was a rumor of a second season of outlaw star. It was supposedly aired only in japan.

  • Oh wow, I remember I used to sing this song all the time when I was a kid. Its so pretty!

  • @PlayTheGameWithBacon

    as young as i am, i have a brief memory of hearing this song. but it is beautiful, i shall sing this song to my children XD

  • dude even adult swim is goin down the shitter

  • @cowboyatthebebop i know they dont have shit for shows anymore. Back in the day AdultSwim was awesome... i miss it :(

  • @cowboyatthebebop haha nice i couldnt have said it batter myself.

  • Love the song

  • I sure miss toonami. this was one of the best animes they had. luckily a few years back i found the box set at Best Buy and bought it on the spot. I have watched it at least two times. and i repeat this song over and over when i hear it.

  • i'm in love with Melfina. </3

  • love and miss this anime....miss toonami...

  • This series was amazing, I keep watching it again and again

  • haha i can say outlaw star inspired my choice in men XD strong secretly caring and sweet guys that act like their the shit, my husband is gene Starwind reincarnated<3 even tho he wont admit it :P

  • does ANYONE know who sings this?

  • @silverwings19866 Gee, maybe the voice actor who played Melfina.

  • @capthavoc123 two people played her

  • @silverwings19866 I don't know the original artists name, but the real name of the song is "hiro no tsuki (Daytime moon)". Hopefully that helps you to find out who sings it. Good luck!

  • @tristanalan1

    found it. Emily Brown.

  • whats the ep were her bf dies?

  • @reece12cool the only bf she ever has is Jean.......but the other dude who loved her but died was Harry Mcdougal.......

  • @NefariousDreary orh... :) harry the robot :) what episode was it??

  • @reece12cool check out the last 3 episodes of outlaw star.......one of the greatest anime endings of all time!!!!!!!

  • @NefariousDreary is it sad?? :) i cant remember any of it so im gona have to start from the start again.. :)

  • wow, those days were awesome....

  • Fuuka?!

  • I must admit that something about this song makes my ears hurt badly.

  • I will admit I was more used to the Japanese version, however, having the VA sing this for the one episode gave it a much more chilling feel. I was familiar with this tune, but the removal of the lyrics and the melody gave it that creepy "oh hell what's going to happen now?" feel. The ending was rather underwhelming IMO from what I had imagined after hearing this during the episode opening. I was expecting... "OH CRAP SOMEONE I LIKE IS GONNA DIE".

  • This song is also called Hiro No Tsuki, but it has a Japanese singer. I prefer that version over this one

  • @Heemsah1 Especially since (as far as I can remember it) the lyrics to this are comepletely different from the actual translation of the song...

  • here if anyone want's to know the lyrics and can't get them of a lyric sharing website.

    i don't know what words i can say... the wind has a way to talk to me...

    flowers sleep. a silent lullaby. i pray for reply. i'm ready....

    quiet day calms me oh serenity someone please tell me ommm what is it they say maybe i will know one day.......

    i don't know what words i can say.... the wind has a way to talk to me.... flowers sleep. a silent lullaby. i pray for reply. i'm ready...

    there.

  • Touched... gave meh harmony to be a better someone... music is power and emotions.. =)

  • man, this is one ofmy fave, if not my very fave anime songs. I learned the Romanji version when this first showed on toonami and I stil know the lyrics word for word! ^///^

  • mannnn this brings back some pleasant memories!

  • I'm torn between this and the opening song of Macross Plus. Too much beauty in any language.

  • i will always love this song till the day i die !!!

  • poor younger mcdougal brother (from 0:16) he was a creeper to the extreme but he had one of the saddest ends ive ever seen in an anime character

  • what episode is that??? 1:20

  • ooooh crap why did i forget this great song.......so many memories so much the world is missing out on i will wacth these shows all over again.

  • first anime i ever watched..and to this day still my favorite

    hard to say why..guess some aspect of it just stuck with me

    and like a few others it seems..many a memory with this lullaby, and the nostalgia..heh..

  • Does anyone know what episode it was where Gene (w/ his shirt off) and Milfena are in the bedroom at night?

  • this aniime was so awsome, this song makes me so Nostalgic.

  • There was so much answered in the series. They never talked about Jim and what happened to his family. They could easily do a 2nd season.

  • @aesniper I blame Outlaw Star's lack of a second season on DBZ since they both hit at the same time it got swept under the DBZ wave in ratings even though it was a fantastic show.

  • I can't remember, what's going on in that scene at 1:20?

  • I wish they didn't stop making dubs of japanese endings and openings. It irritates me that they stopped around late '90s.

  • @l33tmaster104 There are some fans on Youtube that do decent versions of dubs (pretty close to the translation and the person has a good voice.) There is a really amazing fan dub of Cruel Angel's thesis on here.

  • this song even though very old and might not really mean anything gives me hope. I'm not diagnosed but I am sure I'm depressed and this song just lets me to keep going I guess. Thanks for posting I really needed to hear it.

  • @wheredowegonow07 Whoa, that's so awesome to here that this video did that for someone. The power of the internet! Keep going strong :)

  • i miss the days when this show was onm i had a home and family back then, and the biggest worry was if i was gonna see the next episode

  • will there be a continuation of outlaw star?

  • loved is show it was soo awsome love this song

  • I remember running home off the bus from kindergarten and first grade, just to hear this song. This and Sailor Moon made my day complete! sigh. . .

  • I didn't expect so many people to comment on the nostalgia of this song. I've also got some very specific memories connected to it. Specifically of a girl I knew, who had a crush on me. She was weird like Allison Reynolds from The Breakfast Club. Melfina also reminded me of her. She was very small, pretty, and quiet like Melfina.

  • @theonlyred4

    A chick like Allison Reynolds had a crush on you, and you did not seize the opportunity?

  • @Ninox37 It is a very long story that spans 4 years. But yes, I seized the opportunity as much as possible. But she was a little bit too much like Allison Reynolds in that she was a nutjob. A tragic truth.

  • @theonlyred4

    Well, damn that sucks, comrade.

  • i can say that i have never seen outlaw star (exept the trailer for it on toonami, but that was 11-9 years ago) but i really want to, and this alone seals the deal

  • @aznfryk oh my god, how did i forget gundam and big o, they were awesome i always wanted to fly one of the gundams

  • me and my brother would watch toonami from the moment we got home from school to bed time everyday watching all the programs like tenchi muyo, dragonball, this, naruto, samurai jack, pokemon, and anything else showing. the day toonami went offline and cartoon network took over was the day i stopped watching television.

  • Oh wow... I remember this from when I was still in elementary school...

  • a sad song, I think this will be my theme...

  • another good show is the getbackers

  • why would take toonami of if they were making money on good shows like this and cowboy bebop

  • so nostalgic!!! I miss those times!!!! omg,  toonami, all those great shows on saturday nights, and even when they had it on everyday... UGH!!! great memories...

  • Cartoon Network is garbage now, toonami is what made that channel awesome. Sadly kids will never know the joy that was toonami. All they get to watch are horribly drawn cartoons with no funny = \

  • @MiloXXI when was it exactly when cartoon network ruined toonami. I think it was after the 2nd "crisis" mini series on the toonami ship? but, the true show in decline of cartoon network was when they tried to split TOM into many mini-TOMs

  • @MiloXXI I agree with you 100%. I don't know what the people that run the channel are thinking. Toonami was the best thing going. now it is mosly crap

  • Yeah I miss Toonami too

  • =_=............ o.o oh crap almost went to sleep. so peaceful puts me to sleep each time.

  • its like slowly drifting into a river, underneath the surface you have no senses except your own heart binding with this pure harmonial gentleness your inner subconscious and mind. calling out to you and telling you what you truly desire.

  • awesome show, nostalgia to the max.

  • Its hard for me to to listen to this or watch new anime shows because i know its gonna end for some reason i know there not real but it hurts when they go.

  • @samuraikinjo: that is the stupidest thing i've ever heard.

  • i found the series both exciting but incredibly moving and depressing when character that had so much emotional interactions were killed off even if some of them were bad guys i still felt sad when they died

  • connecting...connecting...conn­ecting....

  • they should make a lot more seasons its one of the best shows to ever be on toonami and this song is kind of sad but i love it

  • i love this song, its sooooo sad.

  • this should be sampled

  • Ah this was such an amazing show. I own the show but still miss seeing it on toonami.

  • Emily Brown (Melfina's Dub VA) was great in all of her roles, it's too bad she only did voice acting for a year or so

  • Yall better get up some money and cop that ish on DVD!!

  • Outlaw Star was awesome, just listening to this song makes me want to watch it again

  • indeed

  • I haven't seen it in years. It's my favorite anime ever. -_-

  • its like some mystic riddle to get to some god world...

  • Wow dude, deep.

    Nah, just kidding. That's pretty lame.

  • really? I would have loved to know what it was about. I've always wondered.

  • at the end of the series they say "see you again" they planned on more i cried when i figured that out this song is sooo amazing i am sad there will never be season 2 of what is the best anime imo

  • i saw in a anime informer mag like 8 or 7 years ago that the makers of outlaw star made another anime. but for the life of me a cant remember the name of it.

  • probably cowboy bebop they have alot of similarities

  • no its not cowboy bebop. i know that for sher. you know that lizard guy that was the head of security of that one space station well there is an other guy in the anime i was talking about that looks like him. and as far as i know there is know lizard guy in cowboy bebop. and like i said before it was made by the makers of outlaw star.

  • @FSrainingdesert The show with the lizard guy is "Angel Links". There was even an Outlaw Star cross-over episode, because both shows take place in the same universe.

  • @FSrainingdesert They had plans to create a OVA consisting of 4 episodes and for it to be called Sword of Wind and it would be Jim as the main character. However i'm not sure if this is true or if it is just a rumor.

  • Angel Links i believe it was

  • I think this song sounds better in Japanese.

  • hell yeah u got that right

  • they definatly messed up by canceling toonami. that waz the shit by far better then the wack ass cartoons kids r watchin now

  • I agree with you 100% they blew it so hard by canceling toonami. Im a geezer and id still watch toonami if it was still on.

  • @PopFlipCatchStickRol ya agree

  • @PopFlipCatchStickRol :-) you're only 21!

  • @PopFlipCatchStickRol hey theres this website called toonami aftermath they show all the old school toonami shows

  • @PopFlipCatchStickRol Toonami had been awful for 3 years, they blew it by blowing up Adult Swim's anime block and leaving us stuck with nothing but Family Guy 6 nights a week. T'is still a huge shame Adult Swim only runs anime on Saturday nights...and even then its mostly re-runs of shows they have had for 3+ years.

  • @PopFlipCatchStickRol This is when decent to great toons, both anime & western use to be shown on tv. Now most are just full of fail.
