Female Pirates In Space! Second Try
Sol Bianca: The Legacy is a show about four female pirates, who accidentally pick up a kid, and then adventure with booty awaits.
It's a show with that cheeky glimpse in its eye and it has that pirate charm that you always hope for in a pirate show. The different female pirates work well together, because of they distinct personalities that work wall off each other, and just as characters themselves.

There's a pretty engaging opening featuring one of the crew of the Sol Bianca ship reminiscing about her past, with a rising crescendo of emotion and music, fully showcasing how this franchise can rise above what it began life as; an overlooked OVA with tiny potential emanating from it.
There is something mysterious and romantic about the future in this show, even though it’s not innovative, there's just a vibe about it that differentiates it from other sci-fi set capers. It feels a bit like Aria, with its picturesque moonlit Mediterranean-like landscapes and calm music. Ok, so it's occasionally broken by massive destruction caused by a bunch of pesky space pirates, but you get the idea.
