Introduction
It is a harsh and barren wasteland, where the weak aren't allowed to dream. It is also a sacred land for true men, for there is no place a man can feel more alive. This is the Gun Frontier. Sea Pirate Captain Harlock and the errant samurai, Tochiro arrive in the United States on the Western Frontier. Along with a mysterious woman they meet along the way, the two friends challenge sex rings, bandits, and corrupt sheriff. They are searching for a lost clan of Japanese immigrants, and they will tear Gun Frontier from end to end until they find it.

Not a good show at all, can't believe I watched this as a child when it came out.
If the characters & art style were not pulled from a more popular source, literally no one would have heard about this series. The characters are very generic 70's stereotypes: cool guy, hot mysterious girl, obnoxious comedy relief. The twist is the short funny guy is the lead. This could have been interesting; seeing an under-dog\unloved outcast get treated poorly, but always manage to pull through. They take the plot too far, beyond realistic human behavior. Their choices make no sense to the point You can't relate to his struggles, because they are so blown out of proportion & over the top.
Shorty is also dumb, creepy & unlikable. He smiles, leers, & even laughs when the female lead is being assaulted by…

(Now before I share upon my developing takes, I will need to do an introduction of how I am as a watcher. Howdy, I have a weak spot for overlooked shows/shows rated very neutrally. Though it may be a bias at times, I use this softness to see the optimistic sides of what these shows do well and pointing out some details for these shows to be brought upon without being ignored. Thanks if you've read up to here, now commencing this review..)
[Gun Frontier Review]
Like for the name itself, Gun Frontier's setting takes place around a time for when the Wild West was still at it's peak, before the advancement of a modern society and incoming new technology, however that won't always be the case once the story progresses. Which wouldn't be long to take notice if you're an avid watcher ;^)

It’s Open Mic Night at the local Improv club and you’re lucky enough to claim a ticket. From your front-row seat, you’re able to witness an A-list collection of veteran comedians perfecting their craft. With boundless joy, you watch as the masters of the tickled rib take turns revealing raunchy anecdotes of their sex lives, exchanging verbal blows among each other, perform exaggerated impersonations of pop culture figureheads, and playfully poke fun at our society’s downward spiral. After a solid three hours of this, the audience, now finished raucously applauding for a particularly hysterical skit, quietly anticipates the next humorist to appear on-stage, the last of the night. “Surely,” they collectively think, “this guy’s gonna be the funniest one of them all.” The comedian confidently…

This show reminds me a lot of Trigun. A man on a journey to do something and as he travels, he picks up a bunch of people to be part of his group. Now, unlike Trigun, this is placed on earth and in a time when the west was still young. A man lived with a gun at his side or would end up dead.
The story revolves mainly around Tochiro and Franklin Harlock (the guy that looks like a western version of Captain Harlock… put two and two together) as they travel. At first, all you know of these characters is that they are somehow connected and are a bit miss matched. When we do find out when they met, it feels a little forced although ties Harlock’s past as a pirate with the sword duel on a ship. (Ok, can I not spell this out enough? They took the Space Pirate and put him in a western show.) I w…

What the hell y'all I have been bamboozled! Swindled! Gypped! If you've seen this show and have read my reviews or ever looked at my profile then you know what I'm about to say....this shit is INCOMPLETE! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls this series stops at thirteen episodes with no resolution, conclusion or closure and you are left with one thought in your head “WTF???”. I'm not going to spoil things for those who might still want to watch this title, but as far as I know there is no sequel, there is no OVA, there's probably a manga but who gives a fuck? I'm not gonna read it. So yeah 13 episodes, you watch it, it ends....you double check your playlist to see if maybe video-player skipped an episode, it didn't so you feel like you have been [bleep]-teased! Sorry, Leiji Matsumoto…
