From the Editor:

Well, that's it. All of Toonami's edits of Outlaw Star in all their glory... or lack thereof. As previously mentioned, Toonami re-ran Outlaw Star a second time subsequent to when this list was made. The reruns had a few more things edited out, which might have actually been an improvement since it made the show a bit more consistent.

The frequency of Kyle Pope's edit list will be dictated by the frequency of edited Anime on TV, so right now there is no telling exactly when the next installment will be.
