Summary: Doesn't get any better
Review: I have watched a lot of movies, and own a LOT of anime (close to about 100 DVD's in anime alone) and none of them have been watched as many times as my Bebop set. This series has it all...guns, chicks, humor, space fights, dog chases, prairie oysters(lol), rivaling syndicates.....you name it, its in Bebop at some point in time.Now onto the story. There are many different themes, but mainly the story consists of a lot of short stories that revolve around the band of bounty hunters earning a living. The crew of the Bebop starts off with Spike and Jet. I don't want to give too much away, but Jet is the older of the two but by no means is he a slouch and he is also the captain of the Bebop...where as Spike is the karate kickin, pistol fightin, brute force always wins kind of guy. They meet some other interesting comrades that join up along the way as well. All in all this series is great. It is absolutely hilarious at times but can also be quite serious and sad. If you're not willing to spend all the money on the set right off, I would suggest picking up Best Sessions and checking that out. Only thing I don't like about Best Sessions is that those are the only episodes in 5.1 surround sound =) Be warned though, once you watch Best Sessions, you WILL want the set, and it is well worth it. Like I said earlier, I have watched this countless times again and again. I watch anime every night while playing video games on my pc, and last week it was nothing but Cowboy Bebop. Also there is a feature film out as well that takes place between episodes 22 and 23 its called Knocking on Heavens Door. You can only find it subbed for now as it has not been released in the US yet, but it is still a FANTASTIC watch. If you like some of the fight scenes produced in the TV series, you will love them in Knocking on Heaves door. One more thing...watch it in English. Yes that's right, most people never watch anime in English because they think it's horrible. Personally I watch all my anime in English, but I have heard from others that bebop should be watched in English and I couldn't agree more. They used the same Japanese actors in the movie Knocking on Heavens door as they did in the series, and while it was good, the English actors sound SO much better. Also, another warning, the music will hook you! The jazzy tunes and upbeat songs through the fight scenes fit so well as do the slower tunes during the more dramatic scenes. After listening to all the music, my favorites tunes happen to be 'Rush' which is played during the fight scene between Asomoth (think I spelled that right) and Spike, and 'Call me Call me' played later in the series. I personally own a lot of anime sound tracks as well, and while I love em all, the ones I have for Cowboy Bebop (all of em) rule! They have not left the CD player in my truck for the last month. If you enjoyed Bebop, you may also want to look at Trigun as well, or vice versa, as Vash (from Trigun) and Spike (from Bebop) have many similarities. Well I know my review is a little jumbled, but I don't care, I made my point, and you really should get this series, you will not regret it. So with that I say farwell........See you Space Cowboy. BANG!

Summary: Walk In The Rain
Review: One of the most fabulus Anime series out there.CBB is one of the few series that mixes humor/action-adventure/romance and a whole bunch more.With characters like Spike,Jet,and Faye you will never be disapointed with entertainment.Not to mention the grat music and dubing along with some terific background effects.This set however isn't ment for kids.There is a lot of blood in it and shooting scenes.

Summary: ok, heres the deal....
Review: OK! i think i will clear this mess up. There are TWO (2) different sets of DVD's for sale. One is a bootleg VCD import bad version that is no longer in stock, and the other is a more expensive real version that they do have in stock. DO NOT PURCHASE THE ONE WITH THE GREY COVER WITH SPIKE SMOKING ON IT!!! it is a BOOT LEG! the other one is not. If you buy the boot leg, you will be very very very disappointed. You watch it in japanese because the american voices are so bad, and then the subtitles are TERRIBLE! they are like "SUBAIKU, LOOSE THIS NOT TIME WILL I!" equals "spike, i will not lose this time." this is an EXACT excerpt from the DVD. so, there are the SAME REVIEWS ON EACH PURCHASE PAGE! therefore making it very confusing. I hope i helped clear this up.

Summary: This is... a dream.
Review: This is a series that rivals with Neon Genesis Evangelion as best series of all time. The animation is superb, the acting flawless, the story is written with great skill and care, and it has the most satisfying ending ever. The ending is better than any movie or book I've ever seen. This is one series you can watch over and over again and not get tired of. There is one small problem with this series. The last two episodes should have been edited into a 2-hour movie. That would have been the greatest movie ever. Out of all of the characters I think that Ed is the best. She is always great comic relief for such a bleak and disturbing show. Spike also is a very cool character. The reason why he goes to Vicious in the last episode is explained in the movie, which takes place between episodes 22 and 23. Stop reading and just watch it already. Don't watch the edited version on Cartoon Network. Get the completely uncut DVDs and watch them subtitled (though for once the dubbed version is good). And even if you're in the mood for something where the good guys suffer it's a show for you. My personal favorites are sessions 26, 25, 11, 5, 20, and the movie. And it only takes you 649 minutes to watch the whole series! WARNING!: The folks at Pioneer think this is for ages 13 and up. They are very wrong. No one under 15 should view the series because of it's violence. TVMA: Contains scenes of graphic violence, sensuality, language, drug content, and brief nudity. Suggested for ages 15 and up.

Summary: A classy series through and through
Review: Cowboy Bebop is a series that should need no introduction to anime fans. However, for anyone unfamiliar with the show, it's basically about space bounty hunters set to an old time jazz music soundtrack with plenty of classy old time stories and dark morals along the way. If you like action, space, jazz, or comedy, you may like Cowboy Bebop. If you like old time bounty hunter, private eye, or detective movies, you'll probably like Cowboy Bebop. If you like dark stories with twists that really make you feel for the characters, you'll like Cowboy Bebop. This is one series you don't have to be an anime fan to appreciate, but you have to be willing to give it a fair chance. A single episode of Cowboy Bebop packs more punch than several entire anime series I know of. If you're not a fan of the show by the end of episode one alone, you probably won't be. The characters are as real as any old time bounty hunter / detective movie, and every bit as interesting. The sci-fi space twist doesn't take away from the show in the slightest, it adds much. A good way of thinking about the show is Lupin the 3rd mixed with Outlaw Star, with more depth. With episode titles like Asteroid Blues, Honky Tonk Woman, Waltz for Venus, and Jupiter Jazz, the space, class, and jazz heavy style is quite apparent from the beginning. This isn't just some theme slapped on top of an anime, rather a critical part of the show. The characters are well rounded and all very interesting. Unlike a lot of anime, there is no annoying character you wish they would have left out. Each character is given equal importance, though the show centers on the bounty hunter Spike. Spike describes himself as an "old fashioned cowboy." He spends a lot of the series searching for someone he once knew, I'll avoid details so I don't spoil anything. He could be a master thief if he so choose, his dexterity and fighting skills are nearly unmatched. With a good 'whatever' attitude, he's great fun to watch. Jet is more of an old time detective. He's the owner of the ship "Bebop", and best friend of Spike. He does his fair share in bounty hunting like Spike, mostly gathering information and providing backup to Spike. Faye is pretty much the anime embodiment of the women from detective movies. A fiercely materialistic woman, she does whatever it takes to get what she wants. She's not against stealing from anyone or using anyone to get it, then leaving them cold. An incredible bounty hunter in her own right, she joins the team without invitation or welcome. Much hilarious bickering and bounty thefts come between Faye and Spike from the outset. Ed is a hacker genius girl who joins the group after a promise from Faye to get information. They try to leave her dry after they get what they need... but Ed's hacking skills make that impossible. She's often comic relief, and may be insane. Who can tell? In any case, when hacking or computer skills are needed, Ed is there. When not needed, she's... still there, being a hilarious pain in the neck. She's often with Ein, a seemingly ordinary mutt that gets picked up along the way with a few not so hidden talents. In any case, Cowboy Bebop is a series anyone should watch. It has some language, a lot of violence, and some dark stories, but nothing that any kid these days hasn't seen a hundred times over. Even if you're not a bounty hunter or jazz fan, give this series a shot. Don't be surprised if you start to take a liking to jazz music or Yoko Kanno's amazing music. - Rirath.com

Summary: Warning on import version!
Review: I loved this anime, but I'm not writing a review of it here. I simply wish to warn people that the "3 disk Import" versions for sale here should not be listed under this title. I can't attest to their quality, or lack thereof, but they are definitely not the limited edition, numbered, english release version described in this product heading.

Summary: What more can you say? Its the best anime ever.
Review: Cowboy Bebop is in my opinion the best anime ever. Its got a great story. Interesting and humorous characters. And a dark history you wont believe. It has a love story, mixed with a brutal rivalry. And as all great animes, it has a tragic ending which i wont talk about. All the main characters make you want to know more about them with every episode. Each and every episode is unique and they never get repetitive like some animes. This is my personal favorite and ive never talked to anyone who didnt like it. I couldnt believe how low the prices on this were in the z-shops. This set is definitely worth it.

Summary: Clarification of Product Offered and Quality
Review: Since many others more competent than I have provided reviews pertaining to the content of Cowboy Bebop I will just add it is definitely one of the best. What I would like to provide is a clarification on the product being offered and its quality due to some reviews here making negative comments. Yesterday I received the "Cowboy Bebop Box Set (Volumes 1-6) (Amazon.com Exclusive)" and can attest to the fact that although the set is not "boxed" (unless you count the shipping box) it does include six (6) individual DVDs each in what appears to be an original case. The first two DVDs (Sessions 1 & 2) each contain 5 Cowboy Bebop sessions. The remaining 4 DVDs (Sessions 3 - 6) contain 4 sessions each. A random sampling of DVDs/Sessions shows both the picture and audio quality to be superb. It appears to me as though Amazon.com has simply assembled the individual Cowboy Bebop Session 1 through 6 DVDs and is offering them at a bargain price. To sum up this set is definitely not of inferior quality or a Chinese bootleg as some reviewers have suggested, it contains 6 individually packaged DVDs, and the lowest price I was able to find elsewhere for each DVD was approx. $...each. You do the math! If you are a fan of this series you will not be disappointed with the purchase of this set.
