The Cowboy Bebop series is about the adventures of a spaceship called the Bebop and its crew of bounty hunters. This Anime has an impressive combination of sound, visuals, and music. Each episode of Cowboy Bebop is almost like a short movie; only a few times does one episode require advanced knowledge of a previous one for it to make sense. Spike Spiegel is the enigmatic main character, who is complemented by the very cool-headed and likeable Captain of the Bebop; Jet Black. Later in the series various other character will join in, making up the Bebop’s crew; Faye Valentine, Ed and a Genetically enhanced dog, named Ein.

This Anime has a good mix of action, from martial arts, awesome gunplay, to explosive space battles. There is quite a bit of light-hearted humor, but more sinister plots are a part of the whole. The musical scores enhance the overall feel of the show; the retro-jazz type music is unique to say the least. If you listen to only the music, you would never guess that it is in any way connected to an anime, Let alone one’s soundtrack!


DARGON / Tera-Alpha's Notes:
This Anime searies is excelent! I have watched all of the episodes aired on Cartoon Network. The story line is unique in that it comes from a lot of differant directions, and is still exciting. The last episode does seem to be missing something, but there may be more to come; either as another season of the series or an OVA Movie (P.S.: A movie was reliesed some time after this review was originaly made. The movie was quite good, but basicaly like a longer eppisode that was stand alone from the plotline of the series.).
