Shit cowboy bebop is hot. The movies, the series, the soundtracks... everything about it is all-encompassingly fantastic. The plot was flawless and the animation was beautiful. The meld between CG and hand animation was seamless and the style of the charactes were not only consistent, but they were perfectly fitting to the theme. The idea is so out there eh? Space cowboys rangling convicts for money. The ending was tragic. I shed many tears for it.

See you space cowboy!

:D

Definately the most amazing series I've ever seen. I haven't seen the movies :cry: but I'm currently watching the series for the third time... and am in the process of downloading all 7 soundtracks (one day when I'm super rich I'll buy them.... they're freaking expensive)

I can't believe how good Bebop is. Yoko Kanno is amazing and the storyline is executed perfectly. Spike is the most amazing character, and the english voice actor does him perfectly. I watched a whole episode in Japanese the other day it was hilarious :D The whole series is so complex and all encompassing.... 8O 8O

Watched "Waltzing for Venus" today, with all the Bruce Lee shizniz, same sort of stuff as the "Like Water" footbag video. One of my favourite episodes definately. also your enjoyment of the series is greatly improved once you've listened to the soundtrack on it's own, you appreciate the music so much more I reckon.


I will never get sick of Bebop

Good stories, good dialogue, good music, good animation, cool style...

Yeah, that show's got it all. Maybe its not the greatest show of all, but its about as good as any show gets. If only they'd air it before midnight.

I haven't seen the movie yet. They were showing it on tv one weekend. It was Labor Day weekend, the same weekend as Funtastiks. I almost stayed home...
