Review: Yeah, this whole series rocks!
Being an anime fan may get a few weird looks from some people, but having experienced Cowboy Bebop and now owning it-I can really stand proud that I love Anime.
This whole series is just amazing. Great artwork, English Dubbing, fight scenes and story. I tell everyone they have to watch it.
The music is great, very upbeat. And I hate Jazz. The creators have out done themselves. Some episodes to drag a bit, but who cares. The whole gang rocks and watching bits and pieces of their lives is worth it.
I can not wait for the movie to be finished with the English Dub.
WATCH AND OWN the Cowboy Bebop, Perfect Collection. Hard to find its equal.

Summary: The beginning of THE Cowboy Bepop
Review: This DVD is amazing, but...only if you plan on buying the rest. don't get me wrong the series is able to stand session by seesion (session = episode) on its own, but without the rest of the episodes you'll be left with a strong appetite for the rest rather than an affordable "fix." These episodes are cool but only serve to intro. the majority of main characters...still, it's a must buy for any Cowboy Bepop fan. [...]"

Summary: One f the best bounty hunter animes there is.
Review: First of all in anime I prefer futristic mecha. I love Gundam and Neon Genesis but Bepop is one of the best futuristic animes there is. It follows a bounty hunter named Spike and his partners. It is a comedy/action anime and it has one of the best soundtracks in anime. it can have the blues on for a second then in an instant it turns into techno. It is actually a great anime for music fans. In the near future Earth is mostly deserted Mars had been colonized. The animation is great and has some CGI animation. One of the best parts of this series are the chracters. They are awesome. Fey, Jet, and Spike. This is a great anime. Definetly reccomended for the true otaku. Chow ~Daniel~

Summary: Matt's Must See Anime
Review: The Cowboy Bebop series is one of the best anime's ever made. The animation, story, and character development are outstanding. The story stars Spike Speigel, an old fashioned cowboy, and his partner Jet Black. Together they hunt down bounties and get into lots of trouble while meeting unwanted friends. A must have for anime fans.

Summary: Bebop DVD #1 Review
Review: The first DVD is GREAT. You get five, count 'em five super episodes, from the introductory "Asteroid Blues" to the very funny "Stray Dog Strut" to the sassy and often funny "Honky Tonk Women" to the satiric "Gateway Shuffle" to the sublime "Ballad of Fallen Angels". Each is a stand alone episode but subtle clues about the main story do emerge with repeated viewing, like the layers of an onion. And while this may make some people mad I *like* that the annoying Ed is absent from these episodes (sorry Ed fans). About the only disappointing thing I could point to would be the text on the back of the DVD, which is either very badly written (like by someone who doesn't really know the episodes) or a horrible translation. The box art makes Spike look like some kind of martial arts psychopath; he's really a laid-back, joke-cracking wise-guy who is rarely serious except where his (for the moment) hidden past is concerned. On the other hand a plus of the DVD is you do not have to endure the Cartoon channel's typically dumb censorship, so the episodes have the occasional off-color language, blood, and drug use complete and intact. The "extras" with the DVD aren't all that great either, but they aren't the reason you should be getting into Bebop. Simply put Cowboy Bebop - particularly these very strong first five episodes - are as good and often smarter, hipper, and more entertaining than anything you are going to see on television or at the movies today.

Summary: 3 2 1 lets jam
Review: one word sums up this series- cool. set in 2071, earth has been rendered nearly inhospitable so people have moved to the void of space. the series follows the adventures of a group of cowboys (bounty hunters) called spike,jet,faye,ein and ed.each episode follows them trying to catch a different bounty.
the animation is amazing. considering this is a tv series a lot of money has been spent on this. though not used all the time, cgi has been utilised to great effect. it merges with the conventional cel animation very well.
the dubbing is right on. its actually better than the japanese voice acting, as there are a lot of different dialects used, from african-american to russian.
music wise, it deserves awards. yoko kanno (plus the seatbelts) have created a soundtrack that includes lots of genres of music, with the main one being jazz, but also including heavy metal,classical, techno etc. amazing.
if youve got money to spare buy this now. i have the entire series, the film and the 3 manga volumes. a worthy investment indeed.

Summary: A hip, stylish anime like no other
Review: Cowboy Bebop is an anime that definitely does not follow one of the many formulas found in sci-fi anime. The sci-fi themes could be completely absent and it would not change too dramatically. It is very cool and original. The style is very reminiscent of old detective film-noir, and yet it can be quite the opposite at times. It is dark and mysterious, but sometimes is light-hearted hilarious. There are enough regular characters to keep it well-populated, but not too many, which can sometimes detract from connecting well with each one. The music is top notch, and was composed by the great Yoko Kanno. I usually don't like jazzy stuff, but I became obsessed with the Cowboy Bebop music. I think most anime fans should enjoy Cowboy Bebop, for one reason or another, so check it out. ps: I reviewed for this DVD because it has my all-time favorite episode on it: Ballad of Fallen Angels (even the name is awesome!)

Summary: Hip and funny.
Review: This series is so cool. The music is hip, the characters are extremely well-done, and the animation is top-notch. Try it on for size! By the way, don't get the bootleg 3-DVD set. It has no resale value. They'll try to tell you that the 3-DVD set is the official import set...or some bologna like that. Try to buy the DVDs in budles, if possible, because DVDs are obscenely expensive, even though they probably take less to make than VHS tapes. GET IT ON DVD.

Summary: Wonderful Anime Series!
Review: Cowboy Bebop manages to hook the viewer in, despite a seemingly repetitive 'bounty of the week' theme. The episodes are varied enough to remain interesting even after repeated viewings, and there is a main plot behind it all. What is the most surprising but also a very welcome factor, is the fact that the English dubbing is very good.

Summary: Dubbed!?
Review: Listen Isaiah Alexander. If the fact that the cowboy bebop DVDs have a dubbed feature on them is your only complaint and you don't have the sense to turn the language to Japanese, you don't deserve to own Cowboy Bebop. Are people really that lazy nowadays to where they can't turn on the Japanese feature on the DVD? Absolutely amazing! Sorry I had to get that off my chest. About the DVD. It is excellent as well as the series. These episodes are some of my favorites, esp. "Asteroid Blues" and "Ballad of Fallen Angels." If your looking for a show that is not like any other show you have seen I suggest you pick this DVD up as well as the rest of the series. The show neatly balances Action, Drama, and Comedy all in a superb series. Anime fan or not, I guarantee you'll at like it.
