From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Musekinin Kanchou Tylor (translation: The Irresponsible Captain Tylor) is a Japanese anime work based on a series of novels by the Japanese author Hitoshi Yoshiyoka. It originally ran in the mid-90's. Warning: Spoilers follow
Tylor, the title character, is a young man without a real purpose in life. He weasels his way into the navy, and soon gains command of a destroyer. Unfortunately for him, this ship is considered the dumping grounds of the military, and contains all the sorts of characters that in reality would never be let near a paintball gun, let alone a spaceship. However, as this is a work of fiction, these misfits quickly become the collective saviors of humanity.
The two major powers in the story are the UPSF (United Planets Space Force, or the humans) and the Raalgon Empire (the aliens, which some might say look like elves from Dungeons and Dragons).
One of the largest points of dispute within the story is the actual competence of Tylor. Whether he is an idiot or a genius is up to each individual viewer.
The TV series has been brought over to America by The Right Stuf International.
