Crunchyroll's latest anime catalog addition is Lost Universe, which is now available in subbed and dubbed form to Crunchyroll members in the US and Canada. All episodes are up for Premium members, and free members will be able to watch 13 per week.

Based on the light novels by The Slayers' Hajime Kanzaka, the Lost Universe anime was directed by Takashi Watanabe (The Slayers, Shakugan no Shana, Black Lion) and made its debut in 1998.

Synopsis:

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!
