Cowboy Bebop (TV)
Wow! I heard that this was one of the most anticipated
Japanese TV series of 1998 and it does not disappoint!!!!
Where do I start? First of all, the art is beautiful,
it is done in a noir style and melds a futuristic style
with a 70's theme. Kinda like a futuristic Starsky and
Hutch. There's lots of action and humor and the charachter
designs are incredible. Each charachter is oozing with charm
and mystery. Best of all, the music is done by yoko kanno
(Vision of escaflowne, macross plus) and is an amazing blend
of blues, jazz, and ska. Go see it now.

From the first six episodes I've seen so far, great visuals, excellent music, good balance of action, humor and atmosphere. CB was very fun to watch. Can't wait until it's released in the U.S..

I was eargerly awaiting this show for like a year! When it finally was released, a friend of mine aquired the LD about a week after its release and myself and a bunch of friends crowded around my living room tv and proceeded to being WOWED by this show for an hour. I've only seen like the first four episodes so far (we didn't worry about seeing anymore as we found out it was comming out in Subbed/dubbed format soon) but what i've seen I REALLY like. The animation is some of the BEST animation done for a tv series (yes, better even that Evangelion and about as good if not better than Escaflowne) the only thing that keeps me from rating this show a 9 is the fact that it is just a hair mundane for my tastes (I prefer over the top anime) but it excellent despite that.
Anyone who misses out on this series is a FOOL.

I normally don't buy anime videos, but after renting just the first volume of Cowboy Bebop, I went out and bought the whole series (at Japanese prices, no less). That's how good it is.
How do I love Cowboy Bebop? Let me count the ways.
(1) As others have said, the music is excellent--Yoko Kanno is in top form.
(2) The animation is excellent--they seem to have spent some money on making things move.
(3) The characters don't all look the same. The character designs allow many different kinds of people to live in the Cowboy Bebop world.
(4) The main characters are very charismatic, and seem to have real depth to their personalities.
(5) There isn't much of an overall story arc (except for those episodes that deal with Spike and the Red Dragons). Instead, different episodes treat different genres (both of film and of music), and the writers concentrate on carrying a single theme throughout that episode, to good effect. The comedy is funny, the action is exciting, the melancholy parts are moving.
(6) The dialogue is very well-written. There are lots of great, quotable lines in this series.
(7) There are 26 episodes--not so many that you get tired of watching it, but not so few that it's unsatisfying.
(8) Cowboy Bebop contains the most successful presentation of an "internationalized" world I've ever seen in anime.
(9) It mostly avoids the usual anime cliches.
(10) It remains consistently good from beginning to end.

Cowboy Bebop is a very different anime. With each character having layers that are slowly peeled away as the series progresses, I feel I have really known them. Each person has a sad and deep history and each story is very interesting and mysterious. Not to mention the great music that Yoko Kanno composed for this series ^__~

This is one of my favorite anime.^_^ This
anime is one where you really get into the
characters. While some of the episodes are
just plain humor ("Mushroom Samba") others
have more of a dark tone to them ("Ballad of
fallen angels") so it is evenly mixed. It, in
my opinion, has a spectacular plot.^_^ I like
it a lot.
I almost forgot about the music!(O.O) Yoko
Kano did a great job with the music! I really
loved it.^___^*
The animation is also spectacular.

All and all this gets a 10!=) ^_^

This is the best damn anime series I have ever seen.

In this day and age when the anime industry is suffering from annoying superficiality, Cowboy Bebop is a godsend to any serious anime viewers.

It makes you think and feel at the same time. Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, and Faye Valentine all have their own stories in the past prior to their boarding of Bebop, and the series gradually invites you into their past... you follow the episodes and you will end up identifying with them. Of the three characters, one has a forgettable past from which he was forced to move on (Jet), another has a truly eventful past from which he couldn't move on (Spike), and the third doesn't even know what her past was (Faye). Throw in here the mischievous but mysterious Ed, and you have the diverse quartet of human beings with fascinating stories on their own.

The ending really suits the entire series, too. Compared to other happy-go-lucky anime series, the ending of Cowboy Bebop is so fresh and captivating. The final two episodes are absolute masterpiece, and so are the Jupiter Jazz episodes.

On top of that, Cowboy Bebop also features a good healthy mix of breathtaking action, superb computer-enhanced animation, and even subtle hints of romance that will keep your heart warm without shoving the figurative spoonful of romantic sugars down your throat.

Throw in there the music of Kanno Yoko (yes, the same Kanno Yoko from Escaflowne) and you have the most complete, well-balanced anime series in the anime industry for the last five years.

There is a short list of anime series that you absolutely can't miss if you call yourself an anime fan. Cowboy Bebop is no doubt high on almost everyone's list -- everyone who has seen it, that is. You will love this anime.

Out of all the futuristic, sci-fi anime I've come across, Cowboy Bebop was the best. The animation is spectacular, and probably some the best drawing ever. The characters all add something to the show. Ed and Ein add the comic releif, Faye adds the sass to the show, Jet adds the wisdom, and Spike adds the aditude. the plot is well written and thought out. Humor, always, either a little or alot, it still finds its way in there. sountrack is fantastic, its hard to beleive that some of the english songs were done by actual japanese people. Overall this anime is not one to miss.

This show is one of the best ever, animated or not. The characters are well developed, the eposide plots are unique, varied and intriguing as is the series' plot, the variety of music also does an incredible job of setting the mood, the humor is a mix of dry and slapstick and everything in between, the attention to detail that adds so much depth is there and the casual tidbits of 'future tech' are priceless as are the references to the technologies of our time. I could nitpick over some very minor points but the point is that this show excels in every measure it was meant to. I can only hope to find a series someday that is as good as this one.

Animation - Top Notch. One of the few anime where CG and animation flow together nicely.

Plot - One of the best ever!! Period! Never have I been so involved with and cared for characters as much as this series.

Humor - Depends on your humor. Each bounty hunter seems to have a different style, just go in not expecting anything.

Sound Track - Yoko Kanno, enough said. All the soundtracks are wonderful, vibrant, and full.

Overall one of the best anime ever made, very highly recommended

The series is almost too good to be true!

It will certainly be in my top 5, for many years to come.

No matter who you are, you'd certainly identify with the characters there. They grow on you, wackiness and all. Long after you finish watching the series.

Yoko Kano's music is excellent too, as always.
