Summary: 3,2,1... Let¿s Jam.
Review: I'll talk a few things about the universe of Cowboy Bebop. Most of the technology is the same one that in our time (like guns, cars, airplanes) but there are also some new important stuff. The Space Gates made possible the conquer of the space because they can transport the solar rays through the space allowing the formation of atmospheres and the growth of vegetation in distant planets.
The universe of Cowboy Bebop is of a futurist "old west" but you can't detach it from our time. The characters are not the prototype of heroes, they are not even famous and they always have to fight to survive (always lack money). The referents of this story are greats animes : Lupin III and Cobra(spoiler) The music of this second DVD is equal or even most wonderful that the first one. Yoko Kanno Demostrates her versatility creating diverse types of musical goods. You can hear a Heavy Metal (in Heavy Metal Queen), jazz ( the harmonica solo in Sympathy for the Devil), rock (jamming with Edward). Her music is the most complete that I ever hear.

Summary: One of the best...
Review: If you want an action-packed, dramatic adult anime series that is sharply drawn and richly colored, look no further. The beautiful animation of Cowboy Bebop is hard to resist. So are the clever plots and interesting characters, all of which have distinct personalities that are so real, they carry Cowboy Bebop beyond the limits of most other animes. In the tenth session, where Jet reckons with his old flame, you have just the right amount of drama, yet it doesn't become sappy. Despite the fact that each session is only twenty-five minutes long, the writers of this series have managed to create episodes that tell a story smoothly, without scrambling near the end. The series is set in a semi-believable future; human beings have colonized various planets in the Solar System, space crafts are a major mode of transportation, and there are lots of giant space stations scattered across the vast regions between Venus and Pluto. All this, plus the great extras, make this DVD well worth every cent you'll spend on it.

Summary: And they finaly get a bounty
Review: In the first volume they didn't get a single bounty, but cheer up, they catch a couple bounties in this volume. The first episode of the volume, "Sympathy for the Devil" is a little strange but still exciting, along with bringing another small flash into spikes past. The second episode i didn't see as too significant, but i could be proven wrong when i see the third volume. The third episode is where they catch actually a few bounties, a couple at the begining and at the end of the episode. This episode is also kind of moving as we see a softer side to Spike, showing the sensitivity burried deep down. The fourth episode is when we meet Ed... advice to all, if possible watch all episodes with Ed present in japanese, Ed has the most annoying dubbed voice, and the sad part is Ed is a girl, and will be in many future episodes, but i won't ruin that for you... The fifth episode is were we go into Jet's past a little as we meet his old girlfriend, who's boyfriend happens to be Jet's bounty. Over all i think that this volume is very good, some episodes better than others, but it is still great. We get to see a little more into the personalities and backgrounds of the characters and ponder over all that symbolism. Cowboy Bebop is as good as ever in this volume and I have very high expectations for the third volume.

Summary: Pointless anime, no stars deserved!!
Review: Like I said in my last review, Cowboy Bebop sucks, period!! I'd gave it one star since I can't give it zero stars. Face it CB fans, this show is stupid, annoying, and meaningless. Am I the only onw who hates Cowboy Bebop?!!

Summary: Definitively stylish cinematography ... and fun, too!
Review: Perhaps not as enigmatic as the first five episodes of 'Bebop', but extremely engaging expositional storytelling bringing the viewer up to date with the world of 2071. 'Sympathy for the Devil' corners the space cowboys against an unnatural terror in the form of an immortal youth on a killing spree. The term 'cowboy' is sorely defined as Spike corrects nature's path in a display of individual justice against physical and moral perversion. 'Heavy Metal Queen' allows the viewer a glimpse into the sad reality of commercial bounty hunting and caricatures Woody Allen in an odd homage. 'Waltz for Venus' is a sweet and harsh portrayal of valour within the criminal world. 'Jamming with Edward' introduces the final member of the spaceship Bebop- the enigmatic, charismatic Edward Wong Haupeppelau Tvrusky 4th (a self styled pubesant hacker). This episode shows the sad fate of a shattered future Earth which caused the frontier migration of humanity into space. 'Ganymede Elegy' explains Jet Black's tragic past love life which led to his present course as a segregated freelance lawman. Cowboy Bebop portrays a finely polished set of stories displaying some of the finest talent in anime as well as the most progressive film style to emerge in animation worldwide in the late twentieth century. It never degrades into tired old anime cliche which clears the stale air of rehashed plots, pretentious visual symbols and clunky mecha designs with a breath of visual fresh air via uniquely thoughtful, imaginitive effort. The dub is really good! Perhaps the one disappointment is Ed's english voice actress who just never accomplishes the range or expression of the original Japanese actress whose portrayal is extremely charming even without subtitles for explaination. One could viably argue the stories become slow at times, but one could also be labeled 'attentively deficit'. Bebop will always give the viewer a sizable bone wether it is a fantastic soundtrack, slick action sequences, buckets of blood, gun play, space ship battles, heartbreak, humor, silliness, intrigue, mecha, sex, style, or expressive poses which tell stronger stories then all words could muster. Beautiful, dangerous and challenging: Bebop is a must for any one with pulse and breath.

Summary: In a world of genres, Bebop dances around them all.
Review: Take "have gun, will travel." Make him travel around in a world of intersteller travel in a recessive galactic economy. Have him go after high stakes bountys. Now, have him fail to succeed in accomplishing his goals, while simultaneously having a positive synergistic effect on the dynamic, three dimensional characters he meets throughout the universe. And don't forget the bitchin' jazz, neat technology, realistic (as these things go) vision of the future, and the delightful animation from Sunshine (they did Escaflowne, Gundam, Outlaw Star, &tc). Watch: this is the anime that non-Otaku (it means "dork) can watch!

Summary: Second session just as good
Review: The brilliant series continues! Althought later sessions (cough, session four, cough cough) are not as creative session 2 will not dissapoint. The higlights of this session include the introduction of the whimsical hacker Edward, (the final member of the Bebop) an interesting fairy tale episode (in Bebop style mind you) and the sad yet beatiful "Ganymede Elegy" which is a must see. As before the animation is topnotch, the jazz frantic, the stories are wonderous, and the acting oh so good.....

Summary: Dark, Edgy, Post-Modern Techno Trip
Review: The entire collection is essential for anyone that likes their anime with a little bite. I actually started off borrowing the entire collection from someone else, and I begrudgingly returned it only after ordering the collection for myself. It's an addicting dose of action, dark humor, drama, and eye-candy all wrapped up in a nice little package with a huge dollop of cool background music and intelligently, if not a little surrealistically (is that a word? It is now.) scripted dialog. Watch it with the Language set to Japanese to truly appreciate it's impact.
