Anime Limited has announced more details of its upcoming home release of The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. The original 1993 TV series will be released as a Collector's Blu-ray on August 15, including the 26 TV episodes and an art booklet.
The 1994 OVA series will also be released as a Collector's Blu-ray, but the release date and other details are TBC.
Right Stuf, which released the title in America, described the anime:
Earth's Fate Depends on One Man. But is he a Total Idiot? Or a Complete Genius? From director Kōichi Mashimo (.HACK//SIGN, AVENGER, SORCERER HUNTERS) and character designer Tomohiro Hirata (LAST EXILE, URUSEI YATSURA, TRINITY BLOOD) comes one of anime's most beloved action/comedies: THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAPTAIN TYLOR! This masterful blend of humour, adventure and drama has been a smash hit in countries all over the world! Shortly after enlisting in the prestigious United Planets Space Force, Tylor experiences a bizarrely meteoric rise through the ranks placing him as Captain of the Destroyer Soyokaze. He's excited to accept his new post, but little does he realize that the Soyokaze is just a dumping ground for misfits and other eccentrics that the military can't figure out what to do with. Fortunately for Tylor, he'd never planned on working very hard anyway, so it's a perfect fit!
Yoshioka's Uchū Ichi no Musekinin Otoko (The Most Irresponsible Man in Space) novels inspired The Irresponsible Captain Tylor television anime in 1993, as well as an OAV series that ran from 1994 to 1996.
