Looks to be a very futuristic pirate adventure!

Announced late last month, it is stated that Mini-Skirt Uchū Kaizoku (translated as Mini-Skirt Space Pirates) will be receiving an anime adaptation.

However, no release date was detailed in the previous announcement, but it was recently revealed that Mini-Skirt Space Pirates will be making it’s debut on television screens in the year 2011. Although a rough date is specified as of now, there is still no exact date, and fans would probably need to wait for a few more months before any detailed information comes out.

Classified as a space-opera adventure, Mini-Skirt Space Pirates revolves around the life of a spirited high school girl named Marika. While she’s not studying, she keeps herself occupied with the space yacht club and her part-time job at a high-class retro café. However, one day, two men appear and claim to be subordinates of her dead father who had owns a pirate ship named 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. And thus the story begins with Marika finding herself being a space pirate.

The studio which will be working on Mini-Skirt Space Pirates is a well-known studio, Satelight, which has previously worked on Macross Frontier.

Mini-Skirt Space Pirates is originally a light novel series and has seen been adapted into an anime. Currently, only 3 volumes has been published, with the third one arriving on bookstores this 20th November.

Seems like a very Macross Frontier like kind of show, minus the mechas in that, although you can add Mini-skirts into the equation. I wonder what kind of results this kind of equation would bring?
