Summary: Marika is a first year high school student living in a far away galaxy known as Uminoakeboshi. One day she finds out that her recently deceased father was once the captain of the space pirate ship called the "Bentenmaru". More importantly, the only one to inherit the captain's title has to be a direct descendant—meaning that Marika is next in line to become the captain of the ship.
The story centers around a spirited high school girl named Marika. She keeps herself busy with the space yacht club and her part-time job at a high-class retro café. One day, two men suddenly appear and claim to be subordinates of her dead father. They demand that she assume command of the space pirate ship Benten Maru. A privateer ship\'s compact was made during a war of independence a century ago, and according to that compact, the ship must be inherited by the captain\'s next direct descendant.

From the looks of it, most previous reviews were based off watching only part of the series. And if I had chosen to do the same my review might look a lot different also.

Moretsu Pirates has an interesting premise to be sure - pirates in space, and not just any pirates, but 'miniskirt' pirates as one alternate title has it! And for a light entertaining series it's not bad but it really never progresses from anything more than that.

I found the plot was very thin with no real overarching storyline that compelled me to watch more. Sure, the (read more)

Note that some places call this show "Moretsu Pirates", and other places call it "Bodacious Space Pirates".

It has aired up to episode 8, at the time of this review, and so far it has been fantastic.

The story is set in a future where space travel is commonplace. The first episode begins by following a typical school girl, but a bigger picture quickly emerges; her estranged father has died and she can choose to take over his role as captain of a space pirate ship.
