Space Pirate Mito

Space Pirate Mito (宇宙海賊ミトの大冒険 Uchū Kaizoku Mito no Daibōken), also known as Stellar Buster Mito in Japanese, is an anime series from 1999. It was produced in two seasons at 13 episodes each. Directed by Takashi Watanabe, the series was animated by Triangle Staff. Furthermore, there was a theatrical production of the series, during the year 2000. The first series of the farcical sci-fi title mainly revolves around the small space pirate Mito and her fights with and flights from the galactic police force, as well as her relationship with her half-human Earthling son Aoi, initially largely ignorant of his mother's spacefaring life. The first series ends with Aoi, having become a girl due to a biological quirk of Mito's species, crowned queen of the galaxy as a result of Mito's campaigns, and the second (titled Mito's Great Adventure: The Two Queens (宇宙海賊ミトの大冒険 2人の女王様 Mito no Daibōken: Futari no Joō-sama)) focuses on her and the pirates, now court soldiers, facing the challenges that come with her new office. Both series have been released on DVD in the United States.
