The 2003 DVDs of the 1999 OVA series. (And two VHS tapes of the previous OVAs. I probably got them all in one fell swoop from an online source. I should check if I have a VCR that'll work, but online research says they are not directly related.)
6 episodes, three fairly standalone followed by three intertwined ones that also tie to the earlier episodes. Has anyone OVA storytelling style? To me this series not only rewarded, but *required* rewinding and rewatching.
Space pirates are probably an anti-social group, but these are particularly asocial. From the first episode they are getting on each other's nerves, and not in a fun way. A stowaway is discovered, one starts taking care of her almost as a hobby; the
others only ask after her every now and then. This turns out to be the theme of the anime, as the group relationship is crumbling and the characters ask whether it should.
The background is space conquered by staggering feats of engineering, including one structure I'm spending too much time hoping would work.
