The gender-bending sci-fi comedy Space Pirate Mito 2 has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The 13-episode series, originally from Summer 1999, follows Aoi as he grapples with his new identity as a young woman after becoming heir to the space pirate queen Mito, while also facing a new planet-destroying cosmic threat.
Produced by Triangle Staff, known for their work on Medabots and K.O. Beast, the anime leans into its unique blend of action, comedy, and themes of shapeshifting and space piracy. The sequel escalates the premise established in the original Space Pirate Mito, offering a contained story arc that showcases the era's distinctive animation style.
With a MAL score of 7.03, Space Pirate Mito 2 offers a nostalgic, albeit niche, dive into early 2000s sci-fi anime tropes, wrapped in a story about identity and intergalactic adventure.
