Musekinin Kanchou Tylor

Justy Ueki Tylor is an average 20-year-old man: lazy, greedy, and a passionate womanizer. He plans to land an easy job with the United Planets Space Force that pays decently and is also far away from the rigorous combat raging throughout the galaxy.

However, Tylor's dreams of living a simple life are brought to a sudden halt when he stumbles into a dangerous hostage situation. Through one strange mishap after another, Tylor miraculously manages to save the hostages and is awarded command of the decrepit space-cruiser Soyokaze!

Now Tylor finds himself in charge of sending mad mercenaries, proud pilots, skeptical colleagues, and harsh commanders through the infinite expanse of the universe, all the while avoiding the looming threat of the Holy Raalgon Empire. What misadventures await the irresponsible Captain Tylor?

I didn't expect to like this series so much. The animation is average and of an older anime era, and military/sci-fi anime is always a hit or miss with me. But you can't NOT love Captain Tylor. As the title says, he's irresponsible... on of my favorite anime music videos has hime singing "Reponsibility, what's that?" But he's also a very happy, easy going or care free individual who thinks life should just be fun. Though he makes enemies within his own fleet due to his idiotic luck, he manages to win the respect and eventually friendship of many of their foes (I'd say he ... could sweet-talk himself out of any assassination attempt). Somehow this misfit crew becomes the most notable in the war.

In the same regards as Luffy, you can sympathize with the crew with who they have as a captain... you have to scoff and laugh that anyone like Tylor managed to become captain. And yet through unimaginable luck, gets out of every mishap still smiling. This series is just plain fun to watch. My dad and everyone in my anime club are always happy to sit down and re-watch episodes. The ending was also a great climax and conclusion (especially for a series largely bent on comedy or entertainment). I would recommend the series to anyone. I also don't mind watching the dub for this series which is rare for me.

Mixed Feelings

Captain Tylor became one of the first anime to truly touch on a comedy space opera, a dimwit main character, and eventually his very own harem. Directed by Naoyuki Yoshinaga (Maison Ikkoku, Patlabor) gave some hope that this could be a good comedy like Ikkoku with some space comedy elements emanating Patlabor in the mech genre. It was not too far off, but since the anime was produced by Tatsunoko Production (Genesis Climber, MegaZone 23) there was bound to be some disappointments in what could have been something special.

Much like the companies past works, nothing spectacular in animation, sound, or music; just a plain average ... feeling anime. The character designs were plain and somewhat irritating (Tylor’s jacket for example), characters were incredibly ‘arche-typed’ with little to no development, and the little plot was distracted by needless fillers and bland comedy.

In a setting focusing on a space war between an alien race (Raalgan Empire) against the humans (UPSF), the main character Justy Ueki Tylor fits the role of a lazy bonehead who joins the military wanting an easy-going life working as a salary man. However, Tylor accidently does many things and succeeds without a plan lands himself a captain position on a run-down ship called the Soyokaze. The ship is known for housing people who could not make it in the normal military. Over time Tylor wins battles, the crew’s hearts, enemies within the UPSF, and the enemies respect. This anime does have its charm, and the simplicity of it is there.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor stays true to what it is: a simple plot, simple characters, with average production. Tylor never changes his ways, which also attributes to the shows charm. In many ways, this is a spoof on the space opera taking away from the Yamato series. Take it for what it is.

Preliminary (3/26 eps)

Absolutely terrible. If you are 12 years or older or you don't have brain damage, then you will not like this. guaranteed. it is very stupid, very unrealistic, not funny, terrible art, a complete waste of time. It takes itself too seriously to be a complete parody, yet it's dumber than any parody I've ever seen, with absolutely horrible characters. the base conception seems good, an idiot lucky guy. too bad the implementation is -1/10. the guy is beyond stupid, too unrealistically stupid to be funny, because it doesn't have any resemblance to realism, so it just becomes meaningless. He "acts" so stupid that no ... person above the age of 12 could enjoy it. If you want "serious" parodies, then watch gintama or anything except this.

2/10. because it had good music.

Top 13 Best Military/War Anime of All Time

Unsurprisingly, many of the more 'epic' anime out there feature fictional military organisations, but so do some lighthearted comedies. This list has a little something for everyone.
