| I saw Cowboy Bebop recently, but I just didn't like it. I mean it was good, but i wouldn't call it legendary. The opening was great though ^-^ |
| I believe in ghosts, even though I've never seen one before and get this. I don't believe in anyone of the people that have said they seen one before. It's kind of like how I think about the concept of love. Like I believe one day I'll fall in love, get married and live happily ever after, even though I've never actually fallen in love with anyone yet. You see what I'm saying? For some people falling in love is like second nature, but I can't even relate to that. So if I've never fallen in love before is it real? And that makes me wonder if ghost are real. I haven't seen one yet so maybe they're not. |
| for me, bebop always just reeked of coolness! it has an amazing mood, great characters, both serious and comedic themes, and interesting art - "older", but not dated. some of the music is awesome - like the episode with the sax theme. i'm not gonna say i am number one in line of cowboy bebop fans, but i will say that i think it really brought something unique to anime land |
| Most people do not connect with it due to the episodic nature of it (in particular the early episodes) and the older art. Especially for younger people. I think it's fantastic. Everything about it is near perfect; music, characters, perfect blend of comedy/action/drama. It's nostalgic for a lot of us and personally I love the art. It also gets a lot of love for having one of the first well done english dubs. |

| Probably because of the end. My rating for Cowboy Bebop was 5, but after the ending it moved to 7 or 8. Well. |

| 1-There's a thread about it already. Just check in the Cowboy Bebop forum. 2-This is not the right place for this thread. 3 (related to 1)- jal90 said: The series is episodic but the connection between episodes are the characters. And the characters are what build the Cowboy Bebop experience since they are likeable, three-dimensional, tied to their past and trying to move on, living their everyday adventures as a sort of dummy pill that relieves but doesn't solve their personal issues. It also matters that the crew members build such strong bonds among them, the story is very focused on that feeling of warmth that allows them to go on with their life while avoiding -not confronting- their problems. It is a story about the need of being close to somebody to survive in your everyday life, and the contradiction that it holds when it happens that you have to follow your own path alone. The music is astounding, as it corresponds to a series that is very deeply focused on referencing and celebrating music styles; the show is also very stylish in terms of art and animation which gives it a very nice charm. And adding to this, Spike is a cool, martial artist, cigarette holding and semi afro character. |
| a lot of people have a lot of nostalgia for the show. i personally dont like it but in my opinion it is a good show although i dont think all this overhype with people calling it "THE GREATEST ANIME EVER MADE!" is doing it any favors. this is an anime where people tend to build up the most epic thing in their minds before seeing it (because of the hype) that no matter what you will be disappointed. |

| It deals with a lot of philosophical concepts and ideals, and the anime itself is a blend of multiple genres that you would never think would work together (sci-fi and western in particular). Both of these things were rarely seen (or never seen) in anime before its release and for that reason it is considered to be an extremely influential anime. To me, Cowboy Bebop is an example of the perfect anime and it definitely deserves the praise it gets. |
| Because it is objectively true. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

You can turn your brain off and still enjoy it, but if you want to turn your brain on there's still plenty there for you to sink your teeth into. |

You probably still like shitty movies like project x or tv shows like jersey shore over Pulp Fiction & Breaking Bad. You have a shit taste. It's alright though. Every idiot teen goes through the absolute shittiest of tastes. |

| Christ, what is with all the bebop threads? On Topic: - It is written better than most anime - The seamless blending of cultures, the west and the east. - The animation is silky smooth and holds up relatively well even today. - Great Jazz Soundtrack by yoko kanno - Lovable cast of characters - Great ending. This is all IMO, but it is why I believe people love it. |

But yeah Breaking Bad sucks as much as Bebop Will then, there's absolutely no hope for you. |

| I gave Bebop a 10. It has great characters, great dialogue, great DUBBED dialogue, and great music. I loved the story, I loved the chill laid-back atmosphere of the show, and I loved how the dulled art style lets me relive the Adult Swim days. It's great for so many reasons, I probably forgot a few. It's something I could recommend to almost anyone, so long as they can get past the age of the show. And yet, I wouldn't call it a real favorite. Recently, I've found that there are a lot of shows that I respect greatly and would use to talk about why anime is so great, but they don't actually make me go fanboy mode, even though I'd really like to. Bebop is great because it's so well-rounded, has that nostalgia factor, and doesn't have any real flaws past certain things conflicting with certain tastes. It's great that you can see that it's a good show OP, but don't worry if you can't get into it. I'd respect the opinion of a humble person who legitly watched thousands of anime and still considered something like Naruto their favorite, far over someone who has only watched the stuff on Adult Swim and rabidly clung to the classics, even if the classics are really good. It's not the anime, it's how the fan acts that makes 'em classy. |
| Because it's well-written, has interesting characters, a great soundtrack, decent action, good humor, emotional impact, and is mature and stylish. |

| There's good anime, there's great anime, and then there's Cowboy Bebop which is simply on a whole different level. The only thing that comes close to its greatness is Princess Tutu. |

Every idiot teen goes through the absolute shittiest of tastes. Speaking through experience? I did have a shitty taste in music when I was in my teens. Movies too. Blood, curse words, explosives = Good. story, philosophy, classical = boring. Luckily for me that only lasted from 14-16 before I realized what a complete retard I was being. Have to thank Akira, GITS, Tarantino, Stanley Kubrik, & Beethoven for making me realize that. |

| I don't think you can really explain why it's so popular. You can speculate but you can't explain it. My top three favorite anime are a Miyazaki film about a witch's journey of self-discovery, an adaptation of a Key visual novel, and an anime about a tall girl who starts crushing on a short guy (although Bebop is probably tied with it right now and I'm not sure which I should put on my profile). Do they sound amazingly groundbreaking? Not really. But tastes are subjective for this reason. We are irrational beings and not everything we do can be explained. People thought 5 Centimeters Per Second was basically flawless and I gave it a 7. Bebop is a highly acclaimed anime because a lot of people enjoyed it, connected with it, or both. For me it was both but just because I (and a lot of other people) liked Bebop so much doesn't mean everyone will. I respect that and hopefully so do many others. I'm not sure why people have to rationalize why their taste in anime didn't match up with the majority's. |
| his anime is successful, a reference for me. Cowboy Bebop is an anime that should be seen as soon as possible in mixing several kinds Cowboy Bebop has created a unique atmosphere, which I immediately succumbed. Beautiful, class, dynamic, crazy, soulful, deep, funny, Cowboy Bebop is all this at once. Those who want to watch a cool anime can go, as well as those who love to read behind the lines and find the true meaning of certain sequences. Yes because this series can still make us ask questions about a lot of things today existential or the future of our beloved planet Earth. Finally, the music is very important in Cowboy Bebop. It borrows heavily from the Jazz and Blues. Cowboy Bebop OST are among the most popular OST. It is not for nothing! In summary, Cowboy Bebop is a little gem of animation and is a must. It would be wrong to miss! see you space cowboy... |

| I think most people consider it an amazing anime because of how awesome Spike is as a protagonist. From an objective standpoint, the show excels in its presentation by giving the viewer glimpses of the main characters' pasts throughout the episodes, not to mention the cinematography and soundtracks are consistently superb. While I don't generally like episodic shows, I must say Bebop managed to be one of the few exceptions where I genuinely enjoyed the structure. The ending to the series, while tragic, was appropriate and fitting, imo. |

| It's no masterpiece. Nothing is, but it's still damn good regardless. Why? 1) AMAZING DUB 2) Artwork and animation fantastic for its time... fluid as water :P 3) Chemistry between the bebop crew is fucking gold. 4) Spike Spiegel |

Probably my favorite track, so simple yet it can bring out such strong emotions. Melancholic high notes always pull me in. A little biased as Faye is my favorite character: |
| Because it's great. |
| There's always going to be someone that doesn't like something. Cowboy Bebop is an excellent show. It does everything right, and it never over stays its welcome. Even the people that say they didn't like the show, would admit that it does have its moments and its iconic. For me the reason that its such a great show really comes down to the cast of characters and the atmosphere. It never comes off as pretentious or bores you with some convoluted plot and the small cast of character makes it easy to keep track of. Its one of those shows that you can pick out a random episode and watch it when you are on the train or waiting somewhere and enjoy the 23 mins. Its not my favorite anime but its the only anime I have on my IPod and I always watch it along side Futurama when I have to take a long flight. |
