First of all, pardon my english (its not my native tongue) but I needed to write a review about cowboy bebop. Im a long time anime watcher and also movie and tv series lover, but I have to admit anime is my weakness, so I admit that in some series my personal taste dont let me objectively review anime. But thats not the case with cowboy bebop, its one of the few animes, I truly consider masterpieces, its not my favorite anime, but its definetly the best. Its a masterpiece because its beauty and the emotions it transmit trascend personal taste and should be apreciated universally, even few movies have achive these in my opinion, for me Bebop its up there with the classic, with the big classics, with the godfather, the shinning, Shawshank, yes thats how good is this serie for me. I have to accept at first, until around half of the show I thought it was really entertaning but no much more than that, its probably due to the fact that each episode is like a mini story and only few are connected and actually advance the main plot, same reason some people say its argument is weak, but when you get a a grip, when you realize the real objective and meaning of the show you can truly appreciate has the perfection it is. All those apparently insignificant mini stories, all of them are important, beautiful and aport to the whole story, some of them to get to know the insights of the characters, others to understand better the context and how those the world works in that setting, its just perfect, they all add up, and in certain manner build up all the emotions the serie transmits later. Sountrack- Its not the most epic sountrack, thats code geass, its not the most sad/dark sountrack, thats evangelion, but I have never seen any show, anime or not, with a sountrack that adjust and go so according with the plot, characters, animation style it just fits perfectly. The jazzy, western vibe of the show its due in grand part to ist soundtrack. But thats not it the intro song and scenes, are without a doubt the best opening I've ever seen. Animation- Actually there are much more detail, realistic and advance animation, a perfect example of that is One punch man, but the animation of cowboy bebop its the perfect style of animation for cowboy bebop, again it fits perfectly to the show. Sci-fi objects, figth scenes, characters are all so well animated. Characters- In some animes you get to grow with the characters while they keep developing their personalities and objectives, so you get attached to them even if its not your type of character, but in cowboy bebop they show you characters that practically dont develop or change much during the serie, but thats not a problem beacuse they are all well develop and thought and you can empatize with them in one way or another. The crew of the bebop is amazing I love everyone of them, being my favorite Spike for his cool actitude and disattachedment from life, but I Edward is just as interesting and perhaps less mainstream type of character. There are some memorable antagonist worth to mention, but really the one that matters and matters almost as much to the story as Spike is Vicious, its with the only thing or person Spike gets serious about. Plot- the writing is amazing to say the least, for starters the mini stories unconnected with the main plot are all without exception entertaining and transmit something, and the main plot (Spike/Vicious) is one of the best I've ever seen, the flashbacks, the obsession of the two with the other, their past and their clearly predestinated future is so emotional and intense ir hurts. Finale- Im trying as much as posible to say the least that I can about the plot not to give mayor spoilers, but I have to say the ending of a show is one of the, if not the most important thing for me, it can made a show a masterpiece or a mediocre serie, and my god the finale of cowboy bebop has to be in my top 3 finales of all time. Conclusion- Please watch it, not for me for you, belive me you dont wanna miss Cowboy Bebop.

For some Cowboy Bebop is the ULTIMATE anime that there possibly can be. And I dare say I'm amongst those fans. Very few animes can measure up to the devoted fan base this show has garnered over the years, and the few other franchises like Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note can claim to have half the following Cowboy Bebop has attained since its debut in 1998. The series is a neo-noir space-western that takes the best elements of things like Batman: The Animated Series' strong emphasis on shadows and Lupin III's wittiness and flirtatious nature covering up a complicated, smart and relatable protagonist in the form of anime heart-throb Spike Spiegel.Cowboy Bebop is a fun, violent, funny and artistically expressive television series that shows the unique and gorgeous flavour Japan gives the world in television and film. I think there's nothing to hate about this show: it's an anime that's inspired by two of the best genres in film: the Western and Film Noir. If you haven't seen any of the series yet, go ahead and dive right in for some very appealing, open-ended storytelling that doesn't need any pre-ordained cultural requirements. It's like Star Wars: anyone can appreciate regardless of their sovereignty or tongue.Go ahead and give this badass masterpiece of television a watch and see how it stacks up to the wider pantheon of television culture.

Before watching Cowboy Bebop I considered anime to be for losers and introverts. I quite honestly never really understood what drew people into them until watching the aforementioned show. This show has every thing you can ask for almost as if you made a robot that could do anything you ever wanted and do these things immediately after you wanted them to happen. The show has great music ranging from Jazz to Rock n Roll. It has a well driven and well formulated plot that will leaving you on the edge of your seat wanting more and more. It has a set of characters that are by far my favorite from any TV, movie, or video game series. All of the characters have their own unique and interesting past, experiences, and motivations, that help tether all of them together. This show blew me away. I was awestruck at everything, the action scenes, the music/background, and the dialogue and characters. Everything was perfect and in my honest opinion it was how I would want my ideal show/anime to be or resemble. This show will get you so emotionally invested into itself you'll place it as the most important thing of your life. It will leave you wanting more and like myself horrified at the realization that their is no more content left to watch. It will get you addicted into watching anime and even wanting to read their manga source material.There are a few things in life you have to experience before you move on into the next one and watching Cowboy Bebop and seeing the adventures of Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed, and Ein is one of them.

This is a pretty good anime. It's all set in a distant future wherein Earth has become uninhabitable and they colonize other planets and it becomes a mish-mash of cultures. We follow bounty hunters Spike and Jet and later on Fae, Edward and their dog Ein as they fly across space, get into adventures and get bounties as well as having their pasts catch up with them. The English Dubbing is really good especially for it's time. I also love the animation. The characters are well developed and by the end I really find it hard to not get attached to them. It's also pretty common knowledge that anime does have a primarily Eastern influence because of Japanese culture (much like our shows have a Western influence) there is a guaranteed no cultural barrier to watch this if you're just starting out. I really recommend watching this. I already have the movie and I will be reviewing that soon.
