Summary: Perfect sessions. More like almost perfect
Review: Awesome. Just awesome. Cowboy Bebop is definetely the best show in its genre. The only other action show that is up there next to Bebop is Rurouni Kenshin. Cowboy Bebop takes the award for the best show set in the future and Rurouni Kenshin takes the award for best show set in the past.
Anyway. The Perfect Sessions is a great release besides that fact that most fans (probably all. Well except for me I only have session 6) bought all of the single DVDs! Well thats just great. Is it really worth paying this amount of money for just extras? I dont know. I suppose if you were a hardcore bebop fan (I know some, in fact they are so hardcore that it goes to a level of being really annoying) you wouldn't think twice about buying this, even if you did have all of the single DVDs. Also, if it were "perfect" they would wait a little longer so they could release the Cowboy Bebop movie: Knockin' on Heavens Door with it. Then it would be perfect. (By the way, that movie is awesome, I encourage you do download it, buy it fansubbed whatever, just as long as you get a copy. Its a thing not to be missed!)
Well, moving on. I guess I should say some stuff about the series. My friends (the hardcore fans) all say that the dubbing is better than the Japanese. No matter what ANYBODY says NO anime has better dubbing then the original Japanese. They say they like it because they make it more 'poetic'. I say thats complete bs. The only reason why they change some of the lines is because they either need to make it shorter to fit the mouth movements, or longer. And I mean think about it, wouldn't you want to change to the dialogue to something that you like, something that you think is nicer than the original? There you go. Perhaps the original Japanese version in some parts (Theres a line that goes "you shall shed red tears" in the subbed and in the dubbed its "You shall cry tears of scarlet") they aren't TRYING to be poetic! Its just the dubbing that makes it that way. Well now that I've cleared up that subbing allways is better I should movie on to the story. Bebop takes place in the future, but not to distant future. To tell the truth I forgot the date. I think its 2071 or something along those lines. But anyway. A series of hyper space gates connect the planets which all house colonies. You travel between the gates. The galaxy is a dangerous place, there are a series of syndicates such as the Red Dragon syndicate. Its like a whole bunch of gangs. So anyway, because of the fact there are so many criminals there are many bounty hunters who capture the criminals and turn them in for rewards. Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed and Ein are bounty hunters. (Well, Ed only is a hacker on the team and Ein's a super smart Welsh Corgi) The story progresses and you find out more about Spikes past, how he was part of the Red Dragon Syndicate and about his enemy/past friend Vicious and his old girlfriend Julia. Between the eps about Spike there are eps about Fayes past, Jets, and also just them going around and stopping criminals. But the story isn't the only good part. The soundtrack plays a major roll. Jazz etc. Its awesome. Composer Yoko Kanno makes such great music!!! I think I've said too much just see the series.

Summary: Cowboy Bebop - Its a Beatiful thing...
Review: I don't think any amount of praise or worship could ever do any sort of justice for this series. To keep this one short and simple, I'll make an easy on the eyes list: Great characters(both in outstanding, distincive design and depth), excellent animation and direction, jaw-droppingly-smooth-as-silk fight scenes, incredible direction and plot, and an amazing ending.... Like I said before, I could give you a full review, but I think it would say the same as my list. Simply put, Cowboy Bebop - Its a beatiful thing! "One day, it'll all makes sense

Summary: The Aftermath
Review: I thought I've seen every anime the world had to offer, but then I checked out Cowboy Bebop and ever since then, this collection has been a treasure of mine.
This series has great drama that would rival Tenchi Muyo, great, astounding action that would oppose Dragonball, and hiliarious comedy that make a mockery out of any form of humor.
You'll savor every minute of this set, from the first hour you grasp it in your hand, to the moment you hang onto the edge of your seat, begging for more.
Cowboy Bebop is indeed a new genre itself.

Summary: An almost "perfect" DVD.
Review: Cowboy Bebop is probably( and most likely,) my favorite anime, which isn't saying much because I haven't seen a whole lot of 'em.
CB is the funniest anime I've seen, I haven't seen anything in any other animes like when Spike kicks AND destroys an old, for the show's date,( 2071,) beta cassette player, turning its ( the beta cassette player's) owner pale and thin and then says to Jet later "I kick my ship and it works better." It's funnier if you watch the episode. Sounds like I like this anime, right? I do. (...)

Summary: Cowboy Bebop is the ultimate in cool anime!
Review: I started to collect this series after falling in love with the first session disc. COWBOY BEBOP is the ultimate in cool anime. The animation is superb with highly detailed backgrounds, lovely drawn characters and some simply mind blowing CG work. This is anime eye candy, but the stories are so brilliant I'd class it as much, much more. Each story is beautifully done and has a enormous amount of depth. Some of the stories are two-parters and the whole series builds the characters nicely, as more characters are slowly introduced. The series takes place on board a space ship called the BEBOP where a group of bounty hunters are trying to make a living. We follow each character on their own personal journey throughout the series. The stories weave there way over a number of topics and this series has a very colourful look and is also a lot of fun. COWBOY BEBOP is undoubtedly one of my favourite anime series' along with the superb TRIGUN.

Summary: This is art
Review: This is perhaps the first and only show i have ever looked forward to. When the theme music starts, i am spellbound. When the final message in white letters appears at the bottom of the screen, i wonder if i was even breathing for the past half hour.
Cowboy Bebop, is a fantastic anime series. It has humor and action, but the show is not dominated by that. The feel is a suprisingly workable blend of future and past. The charachters have many faults to accompany their strengths.
That alone wont make the show however. The show is held by how well it is done. The voice-acting is incredibly real. The show is never preachy, boring, or dragged out(no excessive action scenes or monologues). The music is amazing by itself, but when placed in the show it is a driving force. i could go on and on, but i think your about tired of hearing me now.

Summary: Great anime, inconsiderate release...
Review: I love Cowboy Bebop! This series definately ranks on my top 10 favorite anime list. It has cool action, fun characters, awesome music, good animation, AND touching meaningful stories (yet in no way sappy) which is something that most action shows miss out on. This is definately a well-rounded show that in every way deserves a 5-star rating. BUT, the only thing I give 3-stars for is this release. And it gets the 3-stars for content alone, because the show is awesome. What I didn't like about this release was that the show released this box set, even after dedicated fans purchased all individual releases, and the company would not be willing to release the extras or the box seperately for purchase. It's kind of like saying, sure if you buy it twice we'll reward you. Well, no thanks. I know there are some who might agree with me and some who really won't care (especially if they never bought any CB DVDs yet..). But anyway, oh well it's just one of those things. You must buy this if you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop or if you have yet to purchase any of the series (lucky you gets the extras). If you already have the DVDs, well you can buy this if you have extra money to spend or if you are really *really* a devoted CB fan. Regardless this is a solid series and you will not be disappointed at all. Please support COWBOY BEBOP, you won't regret it!

Summary: Hehehehe, I preordered this!
Review: I may not have this yet, but I can tell I saved a lot of money! And I also must say that I've seen the whole series and when I get this in the mail I am gonna see it again! (until I am sick of it) You will love Cowboy Bebop, so why not just order the whole set?
I guarantee you have not seen anything like this. Not only do you get the whole thing, but you get a free soundtrack.
Geez. This is a great deal. Great series. Just order it..
