Summary: Four more episodes of original flair that is "Cowboy Bebop".
Review: "Cowboy Bebop" is one of the few anime series out today that can honestly boast character development as one of its biggest draws. While anime like the wonderful "Vision of Escaflowne" and the thought-provoking "Serial Experiments Lain" all have good character development, ultimately it's their stories and/or ideas that they are remembered for. In turn, while "Cowboy Bebop" has everything an anime fan could want, ultimately it's the excellent character development that draws us in, as is beautifully demonstrated in Session 3 of the series.After several bizarre adventures and picking up a new crewmember, the crew of the Bebop take a little time to gaze into the past of Spike during the two-part episode "Jupiter Jazz". While not as intriguing or revealing as "Ballad of Fallen Angels", "Jupiter Jazz" still manages to project the original noir-like flair the series is famous for. The other two episodes are all lone-standing episodes, yet they are wonderfully crafted and beautifully directed. The viewer truly sympathizes with the characters, thanks to outstanding story direction, and there's rarely a dull moment. The fact that each and every episode has the possibility of being someone's favorite really shows the creators' dedication to the series. Visually, "Cowboy Bebop" looks just as good as it did when it started, if not better. Using a blend of traditional artwork and CGI effects, the end result is a marvelous masterpiece that outperforms many of today's anime series. The level of detail is breathtaking, and the character models still remain eye-pleasing and dynamic. In short, there's little chance of the eye-candy growing old. Sound wise, sound effects are top notch, but it's the dub that truly shines. By now, the English cast members of "Cowboy Bebop" have gotten into their characters so much that we believe they ARE that character. The dub is played to perfection, so much that it is an often cited example of a dub done right to the point where it's considered better than the Japanese track. And Yoko Kanno, with her varied and eclectic talents, continues to craft masterpieces of music that everyone can appreciate and love. All in all, Session 3 continues the tradition that "Cowboy Bebop" started with the first two sessions and continues it with a bang. It treats us to a haunting (albeit limited) view of Spike's past and teases us with what lies ahead. And after the show's stellar run so far, we certainly won't pass up the opportunity to press on. No one can do what "Cowboy Bebop" does, so no one can do it better than "Cowboy Bebop".

Summary: Old food will kill you
Review: Another delightful addition to the Cowboy Bebop series. Episode: 11 Toys in the attic is a strange episode in which the gang of teh Benop are attacked by a slime mold that seems to have been spawned from a lobster that Spike bought a year earlier and forgot about. An interesting episode that shows the inner thoughts of each character. What is odd is that there is not one note of music in this episode. Very Escoteric. Episode 12 and 13 These two go together. As usual with many other anime series the middle of the series has a bit of spice to it. At the beginning Faye runs away from the Bebop gang and goes to a planet named Callisto. Also we find out that Spike's nemesis Vicious was not killed back in episode 5. He and a partner named Lin are going to Callisto to meet a man named Gren to buy some drugs called Red Eye. Faye is the only woman only Callisto so she draws quite a bit of attention so when she is attacked by a group of men, A sax player saves her. At his apartment, Faye learns that this man is Gren and that he has connection with Vicious. She also discovers the man's sad story about how he became a drug addict and the odd effects of the drugs on him. He grew breasts. A good couple of episodes. The reader can almost taste the bitter hatred between Vicious and Spike. We also learn that Julia was on Callisto not long ago. Episode 14: the space gateways are acting up, and the gang finds out that the plot was set up by a man 50 years ago. A fun episode. We get to see Antonio, Carlos, and Jobin again also. A nice DVD. Bebop is a very fun series for anime diehards and those who just like to watch lots of action.

Summary: AMAZING
Review: Anyone who has seen discs 1 and 2 will need very little convincing to buy disc 3. All I have to say is buy this now instead of that other one you're thinking about. Jupiter Jazz parts 1&2 is some of the greatest television I've ever seen.

Summary: sleek, intelligent anime
Review: Cowboy Bebop follows the (mis)adventures of the space ship Bebop and its crew. Headed by bounty hunters Spike Spiegel, and his comrades Jet Black, and Faye Valentine, the Bebop traverses the universe in pursuit of bounty. Sleek and intelligent, this anime has high production values, including an exceptional translation, and a jazz soundtrack. This DVD includes: Session #11: Toys in the Attic, Session #12: Jupiter Jazz 1, Session #13: Jupiter Jazz 2 and Session #14: Bohemian Rhapsody. Highly reccomended! other suggestions: Trigun, Princess Mononoke (Mononoke Hime)

Summary: Yes, My Pet Is a Stork. What's It To You?
Review: Cowboy Bebop has long had a reputation of being one of the best animes out there. I personally thought it was overrated when I started watching it, but lo and behold, I found myself loving it. Session 3 is rather an eclectic mix of moods and genres, but it works for some reason.
Toys in the Attic is the first episode and one of the funniest in the entire series. While the ship is under attack by a strange alien creature, Spike is left trying to figure out how to defeat it all by himself. Most of the humor stems from Spike's rather adled attempts to locate and kill the alien, one of which involves a blowtorch. The real source of the problem is comical and the whole episode brings a smile.
Jupiter Jazz 1&2 are the centerpieces of Session 3. We learn how irrational Spike still is when it comes to Julia. We learn Faye really wants a place to belong. We also learn a little more about Vicious. I personally don't understand why anyone would want to aggravate a character with that sort of a name, it seems like asking for trouble, but Vicious shows his hand a little to Spike. Vicious is an odd villain mainly because you know at one time he had to be likable at least, since Spike, Julia and Gren all seemed to have been friends with him, but Vicious makes it clear that with Spike and Julia's perceived betrayal, everything is meaningless to him. Jupiter Jazz also introduces Gren, one of the most memorable and likable minor characters in anime. Gren is different in many ways and his fate is ultimately what underscores these episodes. There is also some of the most beautiful music to go along with it.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a mystery episode with the whole crew pitted against a criminal mastermind with a twist and a poigniant ending.
Everyone watches Bebop for the music to some degree and this session has incredible music, most of it coming from Jupiter Jazz. Those episodes alone are worth watching.

Summary: A huge variety of emotions blended in this dvd
Review: Cowboy Bebop is hands down the best anime series I've seen in a long time. The Session 3 dvd offers a whole lot of bang for your buck. With two of the most humerous episodes and two of the most serious one's. Get this even if you arn't an anime fan. Session 11: A mysterious virus has infected the Bebop, and Spike and Ed are the only one's who can stop it. Session 12: Jet and Spike wake up and find that Faye has left the Bebop and taken all its money. When Ed searches for her, Spike finds where his lost love could be. Spike takes off, leaving Jet to find Faye. Vicious is also involved.(Warning: brief nudity) Session 13: Spike finds Vicious at the end of his search for Julia, and Jet finds Faye. Now its up to Spike to find where Julia is, and stop Vicious. Session 14: The Bebop crew sets off after a criminal who commited a gate-hacking crime......50 years ago. Cowboy Bebop is definatly not for kids. Each of these episodes cointain mild language, and one contains brief nudity.

Summary: A let-down with only minor redeming qualities...
Review: COWBOY BEBOP is one of my favorite animes. It's easy to like, and hard to dislike. On the whole, the series is good, but this third collection of sessions leaves something to be desired. These episodes (or sessions) seem pointless. The first is a stand alone feature that lacks the emotional vigor that usually helps bring BEBOP to life. Much of the same can be said for the mediocre final session at the end: "Bohemian Rhapsody". As for the two-part session that comes between, well, if you were expecting it to be the tasty condiment that makes this BEBOP sandwich worth savoring, think again. "Jupiter Jazz" sees the Bebop crew (minus Ed and Ein) chasing their tails on a womanless planet full of disgruntled old guys and transgenderd prostitutes. Stepping back for a moment, it all got started because Spike got a lead on the possible location of his long lost love. You would think that the writers of the show would have made "Jupiter Jazz" a little more meanfulingful in light of that aspect of the storyline. El wrong-o. We learn no more than Spike learns; his old flame was there, but now she's gone. Nor does the ending do much to entice the viewer to care if Spike finds her again. All in all, watching this session was like ordering a lobster dinner and being served a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Maybe I was expecting too much after being pampered by other BEBOP sessions, not to mention the movie. One part that did make me laugh was Spike's question during the "next episode preview" immediately following the third episode, "Don't you want to waste your life with us?" Well Spike-o, I thought I did, but now I'm not so sure. Even if you love COWBOY BEBOP, I highly recommend you view the episodes featured on this DVD prior to purchasing.
