As a person who is accustomed to long running shounen anime, I found Cowboy Bebop quite refreshing. The show comprised series short, not-so-interconnected stories. After watching the first episodes, I thought a story line would pick up; I was wrong,however. Nonetheless, the short stories were enjoyable. Each episodes has this strong emotional scenes which a person can really feel exuding from the anime. I am talking about such things as betrayal friendship,love and the like of sort . What I am trying to say is the story does not over-exaggerate events relating to something sentimental compared to anime now. You would understand when you watch it.
Art
I am not really a good judge of art, but the one in this anime is shouting an 18+ rating.
Characters
Since this is a short anime. You are not likely to get emotionally involved with the characters. Spike, the main character doesn't speak much: Jet is always scolding them off: Faye just wants to hug all the bounty to herself: Ed is just eccentric though I will say he - or is it a she- is my favorite character.
I started watching these show because it had high ratings, and I read a lot of posts about it saying how classical it was, and how it didn't participate in fan services. Frankly, I don't know the definition of classical anime, but this anime is worth given a shot. Through Cowboy Bebop episodes, my favorite was episode #24 , I really felt something there.
