Moretsu Uchuu Kaizoku

Here’s is the first teaser of the space-opera novel turned anime Mōretsu Pirates (Bodacious Space Pirates) directed by Tetsuo Sato (Nadesico, Stellvia).

The video features the image song "Black Holy" by the lead character Marika Katō (as voiced by Mikako Komatsu). Moretsu Pirates is adapted from Yuichi Sasamoto’s Mini-Skirt Uchū Kaizoku (Mini-Skirt Space Pirates) space-opera novels that was first revealed in 2009 for release this year.

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 people 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. Marika finds herself embarking on a new life as a space pirate.
