Summary: On side note
Review: Everyone else has already mentioned how well done the rest of the show is I just thought the quality of the dub should be brought up. After having watched it both subtitled and dubbed I'd have to say the English voices may have been picked even better than the origional Japanese. None of the meaning is lost due to bad translation all the voices suit the characters perfectly and the lines are delivered with all the apropriate emotion.

Review: ...that is the only way I can describe Cowboy Bebop. Unlike some others, I am not a great fan of anime. I have a few choice picks but I absolutely love this series. The animation is superb (I ought to know being an animator) and the writing is ever better still. There is no question about owning this DVD set: you must get it.

Summary: Anime has never been so good!
Review: No series that I have ever seen in prime time television, cable, or imported anime, has ever compared to what Cowboy Bebop is.
It's a complete breathe of fresh air in a time where America is fascinated with the absolute worst our neighbors in the pacific have to offer. To know what I mean just watch a little bit of Saturday morning cartoons these days, or even the once respectable Toonami on cartoon network(who runs the show Bebop might I add....just at 1:00 am on weekdays) What you will see can not be described as either intelligent or original.
However Bebop manages to be both, intelligent and original, and then some. With its interesting cast of characters, who enthrall you from beginning to end of the series, some very impressive writing, excellent animation, and a soundtrack of American style blues and Jazz, so good it's hard to believe it was in made Japan. Its easy to see why this was a number one animated television show when it first aired.
It simply oozes with style, each episode a different approach from the last; the series never grows stagnant. It continues to grow along with its audience and leaves you with a sense of wonder in its creative dynamic presentation.
If you have ever even pretended to like anime, you will love Cowboy Bebop.....to give a Synopsis of the whole series would never do it justice.

Summary: You're Gonna Carry That Weight
Review: Cowboy Bebop is unlike anything that I've ever seen. At first glance, it might appear to follow all the conventions of anime. A rugged pair of bounty hunters. An alluring woman with a mysterious past. An arch-foe of unbelievable skill and ruthlessness. A perky young teenage sidekick and her pet dog.
But then, Bebop is nothing conventional.
The episodes can vary quickly from lighthearted and warm to grim and gothic, and vice-versa. The characters are unique, and we watch them grow as the series goes on. The score is beautiful, and the songs for the soundtrack are deeply haunting.
Or course, the presence of Radical Edward, the most refreshing character in anime in awhile, is worth the money alone. But that's not the only reason to get this set.
This series plays out to the end like a John Woo film, relying on stunning imagery, characters who are both larger than life and yet at the same time achingly human, and action sequences that are at times fun romps and others desperate fights for survival.
Not for the younger set, that much is for sure.

Summary: It brings tears to my eyes.....
Review: What can I add to the list of great reviews? I first heard about this {there are no words that can describe the greatness of this series} Anime series here, on Amazon. I bought this first tape, watched it, then went out to buy the rest of the series and watched it in one day...THAT is the quality of Cowboy Beebop. Look, the same people who did this also created the unbelievable, incredible Macross Plus series (Buy that one too, the 4 disc series, not the movie). But be warned: this is true Anime, not Pokecrap, Stinky Moon or Digidull. Once you watch this, you will never want to see that stuff again.

Summary: If you've been watching Cowboy Bebop on the Cartoon Network,
Review: You've been missing out! The Cartoon Network is providing a great service for all by increasing the worlds' exposure to Cowboy Bebop, but alas, they are *not* showing the uncut original episodes/sessions. Even though CB is playing under the 'Adult Swim' hours, the episodes are still editted for excessive violence, sexual references, some smoking and some occasional raw language. To give the reader an idea of how much merit this series has: I tell you my DVD collection consists of Braveheart, The Princess Bride, and the Cowboy Bebop Collectors set. This is art.

Summary: Boxset review
Review: Well Im going to start off by telling you about the boxset it self. It has the 6 seasons dvd, the first ost, and well the box. This is the coolest box ever. It's like a case, you can open it and close it. Very tough quality, not just boxset where you slide the dvds in like robotech, or die hard. The ost is pretty good, but im not much of a jazz fan so i can't give a review on that. Cowboy Bebop is probably one of the coolest series to hit the states. It's a lot better then Outlaw Star or Trigun, some may disagree. It's not a series that continues on and on. Each ep has it's own plot. The overall layout is that it reveals each charater's past bit by bit. At first I found the music to be boring, but as it went along, I got with the beat. There isn't much thinking to do, it's pretty much flat out action most of the time. If you havent watch a lot of anime, or you only watch stuff on Cartoon Network, pick this up. It's probably going to be the first serious anime you will see.
