Summary: Just Two problems
Review: There are two problems with this the Third DVD in the Cowboy Bebop series. 1) the menus do not work in a DVD-rom drive. (But that is why they created the right mouse button.) 2) There are only four episodes instead of the five that can be found on each of the first two disks. Which means that we get only 2 hours of enjoyment instead of 2.5. On the other hand there are way too, too many good reasons to purchase this disk to list, but I will mention the first few. 1) Wonderful animation: it seems a lot of post-1995 animation is leaning on the crutch of CG animation to cover the lack of vision and story. This is not one of them. What little CG there is, is used brilliantly and the art only enhances the story. 2) Memorable stories: just trust me on this one, some are funny, some are deadly serious, ALL are good. The director Shoji Kawamori is very talented 3) Haunting music: Yoko Kanno is a genius. Until I can get my hands on the soundtrack, I leave the DVD playing just to listen to the music. Buy it and figure out the other reasons on your own, you won't regret it. (Unless of course you buy it without buying the 1st two discs as well.) I would also recommend that you purchase an earlier work by Shoji Kawamori which also has music by Yoko Kanno: Macross Plus.

Summary: One of the best
Review: This anime is probably my second favorite anime EVER. It is one of the best. Now, on to the details.
animation-this is the REAL eye-catcher. The animation is one of the best I have seen in an anime. The characters are perfect. The movement is ASTOUNDING. It is highly detailed. Animation gets a 5 out of 5.
dub-oh. my. goodness. This is one of the WORST dubs in history! Why?! Why, why, why, why, WHY?!!!!!!! It's awful! Why bad dubs?! Can't they make it even remotely close?! You people are pathetic! Dub's rating:-100 out of 5!
music-I LOVE the music. "Tank" has excellent trumpet parts and great saxophone parts. It's amazing that people can do such a thing. I play the trumpet and trust me when I say this: It is NOT easy, by any stretch of the imagination. Those are somewhat high notes. I just recently got braces, which made it alot harder
on me. I can't play nearly as well as I could. But enough about me. "The Real Folk Blues" has wonderful percussion, trumpet, and saxophone parts.
overall rating: 4 out of five. Once again, the dub cost it the 5. But everything else makes up for it. Overall, this is great for anybody! It is a great series. I hope that everyone that has seen it has enjoyed it. Rated 13 and up for language and very brief nudity (the guy's part guy, part girl. That past the border line of wrong and wierd !_!).

Summary: The First Essential Bebop volume!
Review: This DVD contains four episodes (11-14): Toys in the Attic, Jupiter Jazz Parts 1 and 2, and Bohemian Rhapsody. Toys in the Attic is a silly, humor-filled episode with an emphasis on Ed and Spike. The plot itself takes a back seat to the jokes in this episode, and the silliness is good, because they'll be no laughter in.... Jupiter Jazz, which is the first of two 2-parters in Cowboy Bebop dealing with Spike's past. Vicious (from Episode 5, DVD #1) returns and is confronted by Spike. Faye encounters a surprising man...or is it woman...or is it neither? Plus, intrigue and mentions of Julia, the mysterious woman in the credits to Cowboy Bebop. The animation here is superb, the story is complex, and the characters are deep. Quite possibly the best episodes before DVD #6, the last DVD. Bohemian Rhapsody is a self-contained episode about...chess. Yes, chess. This is a team episode, though it's really more about Ed. The story here is pretty interesting, as is the villain, and the episode manages to have a subtle humor not evident in Toys in the Attic. While the first two DVDs are introductions to the characters, this DVD is a lot more essential to the storyline and is a must for anyone that wants to understand Cowboy Bebop.

Summary: Blew me away!
Review: This DVD is incredible. Faye's mentallity and her fondness for Spike is revealed, as well as Spike having another encounter with Vicious. I just can't wait to see when Spike actually meets Julia again. I'm so hooked. Jupiter Jazz is a close second to Ballad of Fallen Angels when it comes to the greatest Anime episodes of all time. Buy it now, well, after you have bought Sessions 1 & 2 anyway.

Summary: The best sci-fi title out there!
Review: This is a great combination of music, action, great stories and extraordinary characters. I personally sold my VHS and started to buy this series when it came out on DVD. I wasn't disappointed. This disc contains eps. 10-13! First, the crew must fight against a strange organism that's boarded the Bebop. Surviving that, they move on to find their lost cash, and Spike begins the search for the missing Julia. But it turns out that his old enemy Vicious is involved. Finally, they must solve the mystery of a high-tech crime that seems to have been perpetrated by a ghost.

Review: This series rocks!!! It does prove that cartoons are not little 5 year old shows though...ya, go ahead parents, buy this and let your little kiddies see blood flying, mutated food, a nude figure, and...well...ya. I would suggest it for ages 12 and up...I know I'm not that old yet but I'm used to seein this kinda stuff. I recommend this to ANYBODY who just wants some action! Buy the rest of this set! ^.^ I love this show! The music is REALLY REALLY good, especially The Real Folk Blues. That's a good song :)

Summary: Third time's the charm...
Review: This session, besides having a 2-parter episode, is very cool. here's why 11: Toys in the Attic: Bebop's horror movie episode, so kewl because.. well, you'll just have to watch it. The especially funny part is where the monster onboard the Bebop came from. 12: Jupiter Jazz, Part 1: Spike-isode. This episode has little to do with any of the cast but Spike and Faye. Watch this episode if you want to see some serious ass-kicking, when someone tells Spike "You're Vicious". 13: Jupiter Jazz, Part 2: Spike-isode. Continuation of the last episode, picking up where it left off. The ending is a bit anticlimactic, but it has the only scroll-up-through-space credit sequence other than the last episode (no peeking as of now, watch the series in order). 14: Bohemian Rhapsody: Regular episode, almost stereotypical. This doesn't ruin it's power, just helps make the norm more easily felt out. Oops, I apparently said the cast/crew interviews were in Session 2, and they're actually here in 3. I'll have to take a look and see what the hell is in Session 2. Anyway, the reviews make up for this session only having 4 episodes.

Summary: My Favorite Disk of the series
Review: Trying not to ramble on about this one particular disk in the series will be very difficult for me. Cowboy bebop is still my absolute favorite anime series. Of the six disks, this one is my favorite, simply for episodes (sessions) 12 & 13. The duo Jupiter Jazz episodes add so much more dimension and character development to an already near perfect drama. When you look at the detail put into this series and listen to the QUALITY, QUALITY voice acting and perfect dub, it's very easy to forget that you are watching an Animated series. When you cave in and buy this series, you will notice a diffence in the writing for Jupiter Jazz. A Fantastic Character, Gren.. and his traumatizing past, is introduced to the crew of the bebop and really really plays with your thoughts. That's it... i have to go home and watch this now. BUY IT!!
