Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy Bebop will always be the standard all other series will be held up to. many have come since but way too many have fail to reach even close to the heights that bebop hit. Awesome music, great characters, even the minor ones, Great story lines, both funny, sad, mind blowing and tragic.... Yes, the bebop is no more but what a ride it took us on, and now to those that are discovering it today.... See You Space Cowboy!!!!!

now if they ever make a COWGIRL Ed series, as was joked in the previews after the Frig monster esp, I will die and be happy...snickers....
Of course that one would not be as good as Bebop but what a way to die...laughing at Ed, Erin and their mis-adventures..... This last bit was a joke for those that are just so jealous of how good bebop was.....smiles

If you think about it, Cowboy Bebop has had one of the longest runs on T.V.

They are still showing it on Cartoon Network on Saturdays.

I believe it has set a standard for many anime's to come.

I think it can be like those movies they show on one of the old movie channel

"The Essentials"

I haven't seen of the 'The Essentials' of anime yet but I am wokin on it.

At least I've seen 'most' of Cowboy Bebop. The funny thing is without it many of my friends wouldn't have the style that they are and the clothes they wear, which is funny.

Here's my .02

Yes, I agree it is an "essential" of anime. That's why it remains my #1 on my top 10 (and probably will forever and ever, amen

).

So what makes it "essential"?

For me, it's how the series as a whole is constructed. Anyone, and I mean anyone, can watch...say...episode 5, then episode 18...and they won't be completely lost as to what's going on. Even Spike's backstory, which spans over 5 eps, is done in such a way that you don't have to see them all to understand it.

Most of the series I've seen (which, I will admit, I haven't seen dozens like many of you), require that you see them in order, or at least see more than one. Cowboy Bebop is great because one can pop in any of the DVD's, randomly pick an episode, and enjoy.

And on other notes...it has great character development, animation that still stands up to what's being produced today, and a killer soundtrack.

In short, Watanabe is my hero.

Its a awsome show. Didnt like those couple of eps where they tried to put the story in there. Where the rest of the series had nothing to do with it.

odly enough, alot of the episodes led to the few with story lines.

For example, had they not meet faye in ep 3 and had her become a member of bebop in ep 4, she wouldn't have gotten in trouble in ep 5 and spike wouldn't have had to gone and save her thus meeting vicious and having that rather kick ass fight scene.

Then in ep 9 they meet ed. Who tricks them to get onto the bebop (funny ed)

Because ed was so.... ed, faye left the ship to go down to jupiter to hunt a bounty head. Which spike and jet heard about from faye and decided to go after it as well. Faye met vicious's old partner, and was captured. Jet found faye (in a questionable position).

Faye told jet everything she heard who in turn told Spike who then realized Julia was still alive.

Then at the end (thanks to fate) she ran into Julia and told spike. Who then found Julia and took on vicious to finnaly defeat them.

I love how it sporadicaly intertwines with the rest of the series.

Also the episodes seem to bring the bebop crew closer as each bounty goes on making the ending that much more dramatic and sad.
