About THE IRRESPONSIBLE CAPTAIN TYLOR TV Series

Justy Ueki Tylor had his life all planned out: join the military, get a cushy desk
job, and then retire with a big fat pension check. The perfect plan…until he
wandered into a hostage situation and somehow managed to save an Admiral! Now Tylor
– a man who wouldn’t know what discipline was if it bit him in the backside – has
been made Captain of the space cruiser Soyokaze. The crew of this run-down ship is
the craziest, rag-tag team of misfits you’re ever likely to see, and they’re not too
fond of their complacent new leader. But they better learn to work together, because
they’re about to go head to head with the mighty Raalgon Empire. For better or for
worse, the Earth’s fate has been placed in the hands of a man who’s either a total
idiot – or an absolute genius! Contains the complete 26-episode TV series with
remastered video from the Japanese DVD release!
