My score is around 7.5, it's extraordinarily beautiful and well-made and it gives a vibe that doesn't exist anymore nowadays. When they get seriously melodramatic it's epic (specially Dew sidestory) and when they get funny it changes completely into another genre from one second to the other... This is the story of a muscular and handsome Don Juan called Cpt. Ahab (one of Osamu's alter egos) who likes to sing karaoke and rejects every beautiful girl that comes to his way. As a well-rounded captain should be, he's accompanied by a silly, womenless tripulation with a dark past. But... do they really have a dark past?Or it's the universe's corrupted ways that made them into acting like this? This series is a mixture between artful and dramatically mysterious beauty and the most cheesy telenovela you can ever imagine.

From time to time, they sing along original songs all of them with an old vibe of Japanese enka, Pop from the 70s or 80s (even though this series is from 1997). I really like the opening song and it really fits the ambiance. For those who know a little about music, they include several leit motivs and every background music is changed alongside the scene so don't be shocked by sudden transitional moments combined with melodies that get abruptly interrupted...

All I have to add is that there are some plotwist in character development, that's why I love it. I'll be sure to watch some of other Osamu's works after finishing this one.
