Bodacious space pirates is a japanese anime thing [once manga] and is a hoot to watch in a camp way. Mini skirts in space and whatever.
There are a number of such shows that may reflect Japans mood from recent disaster perhaps [some pessimistic] but what is there under the entertainment is a long term view which makes western ideals seem very inward looking.
Don’t expect sleaze, once you look beyond you will see what I am on about.
