Summary: Best box set available
Review: A killer series in one box. Normally, I don't really care for anime, but Cowboy Bebop has style. The storyline is interesting without being needlessly complex, and all the characters are unique. And for under 50 bucks, this really is a good value. I just want the english dub now.

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: Pulp Fiction meets Science Fiction
Review: No doubt about it. Cowboy Bebop is THE best anime to come out in a while. The animation is so dead-on, you'd think it's real. The soundtrack is a perfect blend between jazz, rock, classic, and punk. The main character, Spike Spiegel, sounds alot like Roger Smith off of Big O. Also, Faye Valentine, sounds like Twilight Suzuka off of Outlaw Star. The gunfights are action-packed, as well as the space battles. The series itself is again, a perfect blend of action, drama, suspense, comedy, and good ol' science fiction. Get this Dvd, and you will not regret it. Also while you're at it, get Outlaw Star, Trigun, and Big O too. Semper Fi!

Summary: Great
Review: Cowboy Bebop is a truely wonderful anime. I am not exactly proud to say that my first incounter with the show was on cartoon network, but since then I have done much more with it. I went ahead and watched the whole series, and then I saw it in Japanese. I am happy to say that the dubbing for Cowboy Bebop was surprisingly well done and accurate. Even the voice acters seemed to be well trained. The storyline of the series is incredibly complex. It developes each charecter into these poor, twisted souls that have led such sad and unfortunate lives. A person can not help but to get emotionally involved with each of them and think of them as existing persons. Each episode manages to be amazingly deep and insightful. It makes a person think differently about the many aspects of life; such as God, death, fear, drugs, love, honor, exetra. The series is very different from other anime shows that you might see. The soundtrack to Cowboy Bebop alone, is remarkably unique. The music consitsts of light jazz and blues musics, and it adds beautifuly to the mood of the situations. I have also seen the Cowboy Bebop movie, "Knockin on Heaven's Door". Though I have only seen it in Japanese, I highly recomend it to anyone who has ever watched an episode of the series. Or to anyone at all for that matter.

Summary: Sit back and enjoy
Review: 2071 A.D. Mankind has been flung from Earth into the rest of the Sol System because of a man-made accident years ago. Life goes on, and so does the rest of mankind. Criminals are rampant, and so are new adventures, which means Spike and the rest of the crew of the Bebop can make a few woolongs and have some fun.Spike Spiegel is the lead male character in this series. Although he wears the look of a slacker about him, this bounty hunter is anything but. Skilled in hand-to-hand and ranged combat, he is an ex-member of the Red Dragons syndicate, but he "died" in that life 3 years ago. His partner, Jet Black, and him are the original crew members of the Bebop, a converted fishing ship now meant for space travel. He'll often use his smaller ship, the Swordfish II, to get him into and out of any trouble that arises. Faye Valentine is the lead female character(one of the few females throughout the series) who originally came onto the Bebop in handcuffs (twice, actually). However, she soon became an adopted crew member and fellow bounty hunter, although she doesn't work with Spike or Jet (she'll split the reward most of the time). She's very similar to Spike in some aspects, but this only leads drives both of them towards being more competitive with one another. She's cool, level-headed, confident, and isn't the kind of woman to mess around with. She is definitely sexy, but her womanly charms work on every other guy in the series but Spike and Jet. She'll often backup Spike on jobs using her personal ship, the Redtail, which she uses to blow away most of the trouble that comes along. Jet Black is a former member of ISSP (InterStellar Space Police) stationed on Ganymede, but after an accident which made him lose his left arm, he retired and became partners with Spike aboard the Bebop. He owns the Bebop as well as his own smaller ship, the Hammerhead, which he'll pilot usually to save Spike and their bounty. He's not usually found on the frontline, but rather, he provides significant backup support for Spike while they're searching for their target. He's the most mature crew member, and he isn't the type to lose his cool easily. Ed's real name is Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky 4th, although he's commonly refered to as Ed or "Radical Edward" (his hacker alias). Ed, however, is an 13 year old female, and although she may talk a lot of gibberish and act goofy, DO NOT let this confuse you. Ed is a child prodigy and a renouned computer hacker, and while she may act weird most of the time, she is incredibly intelligent and probably knows more about what is going on than the rest of the crew put together. Ein is a Welsh Corgi dog, and as a result of multiple experiments performed on him, he's now a data dog. In essence, Ein is smarter than the average dog, as well as a few people found in the series. When Ed joins the crew, both girl and dog become fast friends, and they're often found together both on and off the Bebop. Most of the time, he can be found sleeping, eating, or being harassed by Faye. What makes Cowboy Bebop so great is a combination of things. First of all, unlike most series, Cowboy Bebop has no predestination. By what I mean is that there is no great treasure they're all trying to find, there is no great goal or beautiful man/woman they're trying to rescue. Each episode is a telling of a crew member's adventure, and they all have their own different feel. From somber (Speak Like A Child) to sadistic (Pierrot La Fou) to action-packed (Gateway Shuffle) to comedic (Mushroom Samba), this series has a different feel for each episode, which will satisfy any type of person. In addition, I'm not 100% positive about this, but I believe that none of the music tracks (with exception for the opening and closing tracks) are ever repeated throughout the entire series. What I mean is that the song Ballad of a Fallen Angel is never played outside of the cathedral scene in the episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels." This means that there is no repetition of the same old boring song for whenever some villian comes on screen, and they don't try to use one different song for multiple scenes where that song may not even have the right feel for that scene. If a music track is played for a scene, its unique for only that particular scene, and thats it. I haven't seen Trigun yet, so any of those Vash fans out there can hush for now as I say that Cowboy Bebop is #1 anime series. Why is that? The plot? Quite good. The music? Top notch. The characters? Splendid. The series? Flawless. If you haven't yet, go check out Cowboy Bebop. Trust me, if you spend some cash and buy the DVDs, you will not be disappointed at all, and if there was a 2nd season, you'd probably buy that soon afterwards. :)

Summary: You've got to see this...
Review: The future isn't always bright and happy, but at least its presented in a spectacular series like Cowboy Bebop. Following the crew of the Bebop, each episode takes on new challenges everytime and new feelings. Moods for each episode is never consistent, as they change from action-packed (Gateway Shuffle) to somber (Speak Like A Child) to sadistic (Pierrot La Fou) to comedic (Mushroom Samba). Each episode has its own unique flavor, which will satisfy all types of people. The main character is Spike Spiegel, an ex-member of a crime syndicate and a bounty hunter. With his tall, lanky, slacker-look about him, he easily throws people off guard when they first meet him. His cool demenor and level-headedness are an excellent cover for a master of hand-to-hand and ranged combat, as well as being quite skilled in piloting his starship, Swordfish II. The lead female character, Faye Valentine, is very similar in many respects to Spike, which causes some friction throughout the series as they both hunt for bounties. Although she may look like she is in her early 20s, Faye was suspended in a cryo-genic freeze for 54 years following a space accident. Her past is a mystery (Episodes 15, 18, and 24), but she keeps her cool and is confident and daring all at once. If Spike is ever in the middle of a fight, she'll usually wander in to help. While she is definitely a sexy woman, her charms tend to work on every man other than Spike and Jet. In addition, she has her own little starship, Redtail, which she uses to get herself out of whatever trouble she finds. Jet Black is a former member of ISSP (InterStellar Space Police) on Ganymede, where he shortly retired after losing his left arm. He is partnered with Spike as a bounty hunter, and is the captain of the Bebop and his own personal ship, the Hammerhead. However, most of the time, Spike is on the frontlines while Jet provides support through information or backup. Ed's real name is Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky 4th, but Ed is 13 year old female who is an expert computer hacker commonly known as "Radical Edward." Although she may sound serious, this couldn't be further from the truth. She may be extremely intelligent and a prodigy, but don't let her wacky antics and crazy talk fool you. She may not be able to take life too seriously quite yet, but she is a force with which to be reckoned. Ein is a Welsh Corgi dog who was apart of an experiment at an early age. Consequently, he's smarter than the average dog now, and when Ed joins the crew of the Bebop, they're instant friends. Often times found eating, sleeping, or accompanying Ed, he's the one character that no one argues with (except for Faye). The year is 2071 A.D., and mankind has spread throughout the Sol system after a tragic accident on Earth. The crew of the Bebop hunt down criminals for bounties, all the while, trying to survive the harshness of space. Spike and Jet are the original crew members of the Bebop, and while Ein, Faye, and Ed become apart of the "family," conflicting pasts and perspectives often times drive each of them away to solve their problems, but they always come back for one reason or another. The plot? Excellent. The characters? Great. The animation? Great. The series? Flawless. An additional note, I'm not positive, but I do believe that all of the music (with exception for the beginning and ending tracks) are never repeated. You'll watch TV and anime series, and often times, you'll find a particular piece of music being repeated for certain situations to help clue you into the mood for that scene. However, in Cowboy Bebop, that isn't so. For one episode, you'll have a unique set of music tracks that are never repeated throughout the rest of the series. For example, the music track "Ballad of a Fallen Angel" is never repeated outside of the cathedral scene in the episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels." I can't think of anything else that I was more pleased with after buying than Cowboy Bebop. : )

Review: this is possibly the most entertaining thing on the face of this planet i..i..its just so c..c..cool there was this one part where spike was sleeping but the guy woke him up but spike wanted to sleep so he punched him and then the bad guy got mad and tryed to hit him with his gun but spike moved then headbutted the b..b..badguy and knocked his teeth out........ hehe sorry bout that i got carried away but..... anyone with a sense for good entertainment will watch and love this DVD. its basically about 5 bounty hunters spike, jet, faye, ed, and ein (eins jus a dog actually) and they travel across the galaxy searching for bountys and usually they get mixed up in some other stuff along the way. every ep has its own plot but theres a little bit of a overall story in it. this is a funny, exciting and just plain cool in every way DVD. everyone should at least give this one a chance dont poopoo it cause its a cartoon (its rather adult themed) happy hunting all you cowboys

Summary: So unbelievably good.....
Review: I can't stress how extraordinary this anime is. Buy it, borrow it, just watch it. You'll never look at anime the same way again. The animation is superbly drawn, mixed with some cool CG effects. Equally as good is the musical score. There's an incredible range of music, all of which suits each scenario perfectly, from jazz to heavy metal to swing numbers. The simple (for an anime), but powerful plot cautiously advances through its 26 episodes. Each character has secrets that they are trying to conquer and pasts that are catching up with them. Anyone who dismisses this anime in reviews either a) never watched it b) never watched it or c) never watched it. Don't be ignorant. Watch it now. This is a serious anime that will stay with you for a long time to come.

Summary: 5 Stars deluxe^^
Review: This is one of the best animes ever made in history. With a funky, jazzy soundtrack of Yoko Kano, a detailed story, superchoreographed actionscenes and a little bit of Martial Arts, the makers did a great job and sure know how to entertain us hardcore anime-fans. Oh please, do me a favor and watch the English version of it. You gotta love it. Each voice is fit to it's character perfectly. It's almost Hollywood-alike and much better then the Japanese version. This is the "BEST" english dubbing ever made in a Japanese Anime.
