Summary: An amazing story-- in any medium.
Review: A story that makes you care about the characters and makes you feel as if you know them is a real accomplishment. The "Cowboy Bebop" series takes a common anime premise (Bounty Hunters in Space) and makes something special out of it. Excellent characters. Well animated and realistic combat. Good stories. Drama and humor. This series has it all. It has been a long time since I saw anything that I enjoyed so much-- in any medium of entertainment. A series which takes cliches and turns them in unexpected ways.However, a word of warning. Due to Violence and Profanity, parents should be cautious before allowing minors to view it. The average episode seems to require a minimum age of 15+. Three episodes (5, 25 and 26) contain the equivalent of R-rated violence

Summary: Slick anime. Slick stories. Slick characters.
Review: Well well, this is a must buy if you like anime and are over the age of 16. Why? Because Cowboy Bebop is probably the most "mature" of all the anime series' on the market right now. When I say mature I do not mean the kind of mature with age restrictions and those nasty demons with their dirty tentacles. I mean mature in the fact that the stories are well rounded and funny and interesting well after the first time seeing them. These first four episodes do not deal at all with any silly kid stuff (thank the lord!) And there are no precocious and pretentious little girls in suits with magical powers who spend five minutes of every episode in a still frame while yelling some childish invocation. Well, at least Ed doesn't come along for another couple of DVD's anyway. This series is all about action, the blues, jazz, and good stories. And at last, an attempt at irony, which is something the eastern world still has trouble with in most anime series. If you don't own any of these and own other anime like Dragonball Zzzzzzzz or Sailor Yawn oh I mean Moon... check this out. You will not regret it. To sum up: Great animation with very few of the old standby still frame .... Excellent story telling where things from past episodes aren't just part of the backdrop forever and characters change. Good music. I never thought I would say this about an anime series, but you'll be humming the theme song when you drive once you hear it. It's not ... Mario Brothers type techno for once... it's the blues and Jazz! Hallelujah! All in all the best anime series I have seen to date. Thank you, Japan.

Summary: First of a spectacular series
Review: This DVD begins an anime series of unparalleled quality. Regarded as one of the best series ever published, Cowboy Bebop follows bount hunters Spike and Jet through a chain of adventures and mishaps. Interspersed with subtle humor and episodes parodying popular films, the tone never deters from its serious plot-driven nature. The storyline is definitely top-notch and enrapturing, relating each episode and adventure with a given style of music, making the soundtrack well diversified and beautifully written. The action is also well-directed and emphasized by the fluid movement so rare in animated features.

Summary: Cowboy Beebop is simply...classic
Review: What Sunrise inc, Beebops production company,has accomplsihed is rare. They have taken established genres aand/or styles and managed to create a fresh and compelling tale of bounty hunters in the year 2071. This show has it all. Complex characters, great stories, creative traditional art and nice use of CG, wonderful music the list goes on. This is also a show that gives it viewers credit and doesn't have to explain every stupid plot detail and back story of its main characters, Spike,Jet, Faye, Ed and even Ein the data Dog. It allows the viewer to make his or her own theories behind the story arcs many interesting twists and turns. All the while the show is presented in a laid back breezy kind of tone, in sharp contrast to its awesome kinetic action sequences. The crew of the Beebop will grow on you as they are very human, and present a great contrast to the sometimes cold technology that exists in their world. Just when u think you have a charcter pegged down in this show they surprise you in some way. The writing in this show is top notch by any standards. And if their is an unsung cast member it is the dead on soundtrach by Yoko Kanno. Some parts jazz,some rock, some blues, the music will stay with well after you have watched all the episodes. All in all, with a fresh visual design, great storylines, super music and an offbeat yet familiar feel to it, Beebop is a great TV show period. This is better than most LIVE-ACTION tv series. But then again it truly showcases why anime is so great and US animation is SO limited. Even the Dub is better than the original Japanese track (trust me on this, just compaare!) If your not hooked by the end of session 1, please check your pulse. And remember its actaully cheaper to buy anime on DVD in the States so their is NO excuse not to get this great series. The hairs on the back of my neck still rise up when i see Spike fight Asimov in "Asteroid Blues" OH bOY! and oh yeah the Cowboy in the tile refers to Bounty Hunters and Beebop is the free form style of Jazz pioneered by Charlie "Bird" Parker (for you younger ppl out there) it important to remember this....

Summary: From a non-anime fan....
Review: Although the title may mislead you a little, this series is definitely the most rewarding and satisfying out of all that I have seen. The storyline is in-depth, complex, and the character development is EXCELLENT! The descriptions given for Cowboy Bebop tend to make it seem like a very light-hearted series - and, although it has some very humurous episodes, I thought it would be important to stress that it is a much more involved series than just the story of a bounty hunter's adventures. The quality of the artwork is also excellent, especially some of the CG sequences. Great music, too, of course, as you would expect of Yoko Kanno. So, even if you don't like anime and are somewhat wary of the name, give Cowboy Bebop a try! It's definitely worth it!

Summary: Anime looking fresh and fun
Review: I heard of Bebop a long time ago, but never really knew anything about it. I was looking for some new anime that was fresh and funky, so I did some research into Bebop and what it was all about, what was everyone raving over. I checked out a few websites and from what I saw I was curious enough to invest in the first 3 sessions on DVD. I cannot recommend this enough. I was slightly put off when I heard it was a tv series, but after the first episode I was awestruck by a series which was very fresh and funky. It has a great sense of humour, quite dry but very cool. To date I have only watched the dubbed version, it has great dialogue, and the characters a fun and groovy. The animation is smooth and fluid. The premise is of a pair of Bounty Hunters who travel the universe capturing villains and having other people join the crew of their spaceship The Bebop. Each episode is fully laden with great music which complements the story so well you almost wonder why no-one else thought of this for anime. All in all, you need to try it out and watch at least the first few episodes. Any fan of Anime will be instantly pleased. This is Hip, Cool and Groovy.

Summary: Anime with a hip attitude and cool style
Review: Cowboy Bebop has to be one of the best series I have ever seen. The comedy is wonderful, the martial arts fight scenes are well coreographed, and the shoot out at the end of episode five can only be described as one of the most impressive scenes I have ever seen since John Woo's "The Killer". The animation quality is impressive and the story line, though puzzling sometimes, is intriguing none the less. The music with it's cool retro feel, or gentle touch will have you begging for more. The series is suggested for 13 and up due to violence and language. This DVD is well worth the money!
