Summary: The best of the six Cowboy Bebop volumes
Review: Cowboy Bebop is, in this reviewer's opinion, the finest series that anime currently has to offer. The animation is top-notch, the writing is consistently excellent, the English voice work is amazingly good, and the soundtrack (provided by Yoko Kanno) is absolutely brilliant throughout the entire series. It's a pity that the series had such a short run-- what's available in these six DVD volumes constitutes the entire twenty-six episode series. Nevertheless, this is one series every anime fan must have, and a series I would also recommend to fans of TV shows such as Miami Vice. Cowboy Bebop's basic structure allows each episode to be a full-fledged story all its own, with the main characters-- Spike, Jett, Faye, and Edward-- serving to connect them all. While there is a consistency to the entire series outside of the characters-- mainly concerning each character's exploration of his/her identity-- this is a more episodic anime series than something such as Evangelion, and yet far less formulaic than Dragon Ball Z and its brethren. I cannot stress how incredibly good the writing is here-- each episode is a self-contained story full of integrity: sometimes dramatic, sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but always effective each time without sacrificing any of the show's core values. Each DVD disc in this series is a bargain-- five episodes per disc for Volumes One and Two, and four episodes per disc thereafter. Extras are limited, but the video quality is outstanding, and both Japanese/English tracks are provided, with English subtitles. The English voice acting is very impressive-- dialogue is still intelligent following the translation, lip synching is dead-on, and the voice actors are almost as endearing as the characters they portray. Volume Three is the first in this six-disc series to feature four episodes instead of five, but it makes up for this quite well-- the episodes on this disc are almost all gems, even relative to the rest of the series. Volume Three begins with "Toys in the Attic", a semi-parody of the movie Alien which takes itself seriously until its hilarious conclusion. Following this is the two-part episode, "Jupiter Jazz", in which we learn a little more about Spike's past and view Faye in a surprising new way. This episode alone makes Volume Three a required purchase for fans of the show-- the music is some of the best yet, the character interaction is deeply involving, and there is some excellent action towards the end. The final episode here, "Bohemian Rhapsody", is entertaining and intelligent but somewhat empty compared to its three predecessors on this volume. Nevertheless, if you haven't already purchased Cowboy Bebop Volume Three, kindly stop reading this review and buy the DVD.

Summary: The Best Bebop Yet!
Review: First of all id like to say that after i saw all of Evangelion, including the two movies, I thought that i would never find another anime that gripped me like Eva did. I was wrong. Not only does Cowboy Bebop have great music and detailed and crisp animation, the story is simply amazing. This third volume contains, in my opinion, the best episodes yet: Jupiter Jazz. Cut into two parts, these episodes have everything that good anime should; action, comedy, drama, and the required air battle. Its the best anime out there, just take my advice and get it. Watch the series form the begining though or you may miss a few funny jokes in the later episodes as well as plot threads sewn in the beginning. GET IT NOW!

Summary: Great!
Review: I enjoyed this one alot, it's one of my favorite DVD's in the series. Episode 11: Toys in the Attic- This one starts when a strange creature invades the ship...they're left to stop it before it gets them. This one is hillarious! I can watch it hundreds of times and still laugh at it. A+ Episode 12/13: Jupiter Jazz Pt. 1/Pt. 2- Action Packed, and reveals some interesting parts to the story. A+ for both Episode 14: Bohemian Rhapsody- They go after the mastermind behind a gate hack scam, and this one involves some chess playing, humor, and overall a great episode. A+ Overall: 5 stars...if you don't pick this one up, then your missing out.

Summary: BeBopped into wonder.
Review: I watched the first two DVDs for the past several months, one after the other. I've enjoyed the adventures of Jet Black and Spike and the adventures they've had. The comedy, the adventure but nothing prepared me for this DVD. It was EXCELLENT. The BeBop crew continue their adventures in space and in life. The first episode had that fractured view of space and reality that has made Bebop a classic. The second and third episodes were the first twopart episodes of the series and unrivaled in their storytelling ability. The last random addition to the crew Ed brings a sense of the surreal to the crew's lives but in a positive kinda way. The series continues to get better and better. While the feature list on the DVD is kinda light, the interviews with the cast and crew behind the scenes make this DVD an enjoyable experience.

Summary: Cowboy Bebop: a genre without a genre...
Review: I've nearly concluded viewing the final episodes of this ground-breaking anime, but i hate to call it that. Bebop is so visually dynamic in comparison to other anime programs it should have it's own name. When you begin to let yourself become encompassed by this unlimitless world you almost forget your even watching what others would assume as "just a cartoon." What makes Bebop so brilliant is how the show mocks itself as if it's always been around, yet creates the genre it's mocking right before your eyes. "Cowboy Bebop" in a sense knows it's not like anything else.
Another superior element of the show are its characters. The characters are so incredible in the way they deal with the the normality of their situation. The main chracter's "Spike" self-deprevating humor{in the most crucial of situations}is so cool. The whatever attitude he exibits along with his unshakeable confidence makes him an enjoyable chracter to try and relate to. Jet, Faye, Ed, and Ein all have dynamic traits you just don't see from chracters not flesh toned. You can feel the drama and the atmosphere of each situation in Bebop. Finally the visuals of the show are great. Sometimes it's eye-boggling computer graphics or super-precise drawn action sequences that continue to change up and gives you fresh-ness of styles within a fresh new episode. So get bebop you won't be sorry, but if you don't it won't be sorry for you...

Review: if your going to spend your hard earned money on cowboy bebop sessions 1 and 2 then you really have to purchase session 3. The cowboy bebop series is great and the stories are never lacking. The 60's jazz music set to the fight scenes are terrific
