Cowboy Bebop is one of the most appraised animes ever, people call it the best anime of all time, the best piece of media they have ever seen. Sure, it's nice, I liked it, it's enjoyable, it's pretty good if I must say, but extremely overrated.


Basically, Cowboy Bebop is from how I've understood it a slice of life that implemented a storyline within characters. And with it being a slice of life I can't rate it a 10, because the genre itself is undeserving of a 10 since it's purely for enjoyment. And now, the story was implemented... fine? Faye's stroy was amazing, I was blown away by how well it was done, Jett's was great too, Ed's story almost wasn't there but it really wasn't a problem since Ed was purely comic relief, and here's where the problem comes. Spike's story was done really poorly. Faye had a progressing story that was extremely enjoyable and kept you hooked, while Spike was just randomly meeting vicious and doing nothing.

Characters were amazing, there were no one-dimensional characters, and Spike is definitely one of my favorite MC's, he's really charming. The episodes were pretty fun, the ideas were pretty creative and interesting.


So in conclusion: Cowboy Bebop is a great show that's worth watching, but it's overrated. It's a slice of life that tried implementing a story within characters and succeeded for the most part. So... just watch it, you won't regret it.
