Millie Nocturne has one great goal in life: to be the best in the universe - at absolutely everything! But when she tries her hand at being the "best detective," she ends up an unwilling partner with two people who will change her life forever: Kane Blueriver, the psi-blade-wielding master of the starship Swordbreaker, and Canal, the smart-mouthed holographic image of the ship's computer.
Join this unlikely trio on their adventures as they hurtle through space facing off against intergalactic crime lords, rogue starships, and hijackers dressed as chickens... and that's just the tip of the asteroid!

Where it came from
Lost Universe was produced by E&G Films and broadcast in 1998, serving as a spiritual successor to the successful Slayers franchise. Both series were adapted from the light novel works of author Hajime Kanzaka, who sought to translate the high-fantasy space opera tropes into a modern television anime format. The series follows a freelance troubleshooter named Kain Bluedark and his sentient starship, Canal Vorfeed, navigating a dangerous galaxy filled with dark energy entities.
The character and mecha designs for the series were handled by a team aiming for a distinct aesthetic that balanced sci-fi military hardware with the expressive, character-driven style common in late-nineties adventure anime. Upon its release, the show received a moderate reception, remembered primarily by fans of Kanzaka's broader creative universe for its ambitious attempt to transpose the chaotic, comedic, and high-stakes energy of Slayers into a futuristic interplanetary setting.
