Coyote Ragtime Show isn't particularly deep, it's just a fun heist plot about a bunch of space-faring outlaws. And sometimes that's all you need to have a good time.
The settings are lively and creative, and the characters - particularly the charismatic protagonist, Mister - are fun and likable. It's rare to see an older main character in anime, so I saw Mister's grizzled age as a welcome change from the norm.
The villains are a lot of fun as well, an inventor and her 12 robot "daughters" named after the months of the year, each with her own powers, quirks, and memorable personality. At least in theory; at only 12 episodes, we don't really get to know a lot of this extended cast very much, so some of Coyote Ragtime Show's concepts - while interesting - end up feeling a little half-baked…

Coyote ragtime show is a show that's flown under most people's radars and for good reason. It's just boring and plain bad.
CRS follows the exploits of a criminal mastermind named Mister + crew and a girl named Franca whom holds the treasure to her dead pirate father while being pursued by a detective and police officer.
Other characters include:
Angelica: an attractive investigator who is pursuing mister and seems to have had a past affair with Mister more then likely or is in love with him, shes always eating.
Chelsea: a police detective who is the dumb blonde stereotype
Madame marciano: the leader of the criminal guild who controls 12 robot assassins named after 12 months.
And others that aren't really notable.
The audio is good and the voice acting for the dub is average.…

the first episode was original fast and action packed. all the other episodes were boring.
reason 1 every episode didn't have action. Reason 2 the plot changed a bit and reason 3 the black preacher guy was the best character and he wasn't introduced until halfway thru. it took me 11 years to finish this show cause new anime keep coming out but its ok.
this show could have been sooooooo much better. the animation is better than some shows out now tbh.
i miss funimation already. if only miniseries got more clout in mainstream fandom.
i first saw this on a booklet in the yuyu hakusho dvd's back in 2008

When I was looking for a series to watch, I came across Coyote Ragtime Show. All of the promotional material showed something that hearkened back to classic sci-fi action adventure series such as Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Outlaw Star, and a lot of people who had seen it seemed to be making the same comparisons. With all that going for it, this series definitely drew in my interest.
Our story starts in the future, there are space outlaws called Coyotes who commit crimes but share a strong bond of friendship that a true Coyote wouldn’t betray. One of the most infamous Coyotes is Mister, who goes by many different aliases. Detective Angelica Burns has spent the last four years trying to track him down. She finally received an anonymous tip that Mister was at a prison and the desert planet of…

SS Review – Coyote Ragtime Show
(Short and Sour)
This one was kind of a mixed bag, I don’t know what it was trying to achieve with the story but for one it was rather…boring…
So this is the story all about how I broke out prison 10 days before bail, went on a journey to find the giga-banks and scam the federation out of 10 billion francs.
Anyway…the story is about a space outlaw (known in the series as a coyote) called Mister, he is one of the most well-known coyote’s in space. He also runs a bar where his best friend’s daughter resides, she plays a key part in the series but I won’t say much on that. He and his crew embark on a journey to find the giga-banks and claim his best friend’s legacy. Unfortunately the planet the giga-banks resides on is about to be destroyed so time is of the…

Marciano!!!!!!!
Story: let go find the pirate king treasure hmmm that sound a bit familiar don't ya think eh especially they say they hidden it somewhere in the galaxy ya I thought you may think that as well but hey not a bad series since there a bit of a thrill and some action but no to special that would want to make you go at the end of your seats but it could use a more action and more story plot to I mean you could just watch the first two episode then the last two or three episode then done I mean in between it id nothing much but wasting time through space getting to there destination. I do like the design for the vault very unique and defiantly would be a challenge to crack through. the villain in this are your standard typical villain you see all the time just wanting to have eit…

Coyote Ragtime Show was not short of a great experience. I won't go into the plot, because it is already explained in the synopsis. I will say the story was a little confusing jumping from episode one to two, but you catch up very quickly. After that, it is an anime that is very well written and really enjoyable. This is an anime that can easily be watched in one sitting due to its very well done story and suspense. However, the pacing was a little too drastic at times. Where it would be so high octane one second, then the next it is very mellow, which can take you out of the experience and really bored at times.
I watched this in dub, and was very excited to hear some very familiar voices such as Chris Patton, Luci Christian, and Brittney Karbowski. The dub was done very well and all of…

I like anime for covering story types we just don't see in live action or much in western animation. However, this one covered some things so well I might as well have been reading TV Tropes.
Our lead is a criminal with a heart of gold who always succeeds at the big action, but also has time to raise his dead buddy's daughter. He's assisted by Glasses Guy, Skilled Pilot, Dead Buddy's Daughter, and Old Rival. Their ultimate goal is to get the treasure left behind by Dead Buddy, but they keep getting stopped by Crazy Woman and her twelve gothloli robot daughters named after the months of the year. He's also pursued by Government Inspector who keeps letting him get away and her sidekick, Dumb Blonde.

Great anime, if you liked the Oceans movies or The Italian Job you will like this series. It is a cross between Oceans/Catch Me If You Can/Cowboy Bebop. If you liked any of those movies or series then you will likely take a charm to this story.

Ah, the Coyote Ragtime Show. Under-rated, and in my opinion, a masterpiece.
I first saw this on one of the only anime stations we have over here. I guess at first the idea of it may not be appealing, I almost changed channel. But, seeing as nothing else was on, I continued to watch it. This defines an anime that is a diamond in the rough.
I won't repeat the summary, I'm sure you can all read. I remember haggling with my parents on ways for them to let me watch this, it was funny, and 8/10 times I failed miserably. Cruel folks. Well, they're nice really. So I decided to buy the DVD, I got the first 4 episodes. Why is it I wa compelled to do this? Character, Art and the story.
Character- I guess taking a step back, 12 gothic lolita, two police officers, 3 misunderstood criminals and an…

Let's start off by saying that the first episode of this show was absolutely brilliant. It had everything: an engaging setting, intriguing plot, intelligent (if slightly gluttonous) protagonist, spunky sidekick, and killer robot maids. The animation was wonderfully done, and the story's pace was smooth and quick. By the time the first episode ended, I was SALIVATING for more.
... and then, I watched the second episode. Everything fell apart after that.
The worst mistake the show made, in my opinion, was switching protagonists from the space detective Angelica to the space pirate/bandit/whatever Mister. If they had stuck with the former, then the show would have stayed in the wonderful sort of cat-and-mouse chase that the first episode pulled off so well. It would have been like a Lupin I…

Coyote Ragtime Show is about a group of Space pirates known as "Coyote's" who are on a quest to find a treasure. Simple enough right? Wrong! On top of that you have galactic federations in the middle of a planet-destroying war, a group of 12 psychotic and robotic killer maids hunting the Coyotes and as many plot twists as George Bushes presidency, all this packed in to 12 explosive episodes!
Story- The main story kicks off in the very first couple of episodes without needing too much build up where we see ragged coyote "Mister" and his crew escape from a space prison and set off for the treasure while picking up new eccentric acquaintances such as afro-gospel geezer- "Swamp". In every single episode the story delivers a new piece of the puzzle to the treasure and shows off constantly in "…
