Rating: Summary: Cowboy Bebop. Review: One of the best anime ever I cant even explain it. It all starts out in the year 2071, its the future. People have the capability of living on other planets such as Venus and Mars. The main character is Spike Spiegel an former member of "Red Dragons" a chinese mafia group. But he ran away from the group in search of a better life with his lover, Julia. But as you find out Julia didnt go with him, to scared to run thinking they will get caught and Spike ran away alone. Now he is a bounty hunter with his good friend Jet Black. A bounty hunter are people in search of bountys or criminals so they try to get money.They have their own space ship called the "Bebop." Well Spike throughout the series has past thoughts about Julia and his rivial Vicious. Wich was Julia's boyfriend but she liked Spike the whole time. Well along the way of bounting hunting and going back and forth of past thoughts and relationships for both Jet and Spike. They meet a few other people and a dog that joins up with the team. Ein, a Welsh Corgi which comes in the second episode. He really is a "data dog" which was developed by a certain research group. Supposedly his trade price is astronomical. Another person that joins them is Faye Valentine a alluring very good looking lady. You will find out she has a very bad past of gambling and debts to pay. She also is very headstrong. The next person is is Edward or Ed a 13 year old girl at first i didnt think it was a girl though. She is a genuis into hacking in computers and she is the humorous character she is very spontaneous and hyper. All together they come and go. This is a must have set!
Rating: Summary: Da best... Review: There are no better. There is comedy of Stray Dog Strut, Mushroom Mamba, and Cowboy Funk. The horror of Perriot. Everything for those old at 36. Those who died once sometime ago. Those lost forever or are you? those who take reality as a game "almost" until the end. And those who have 4 of the coolest craziest and poorest friends in the galaxy and cant get away. This will be the show that saves anime from those who would cut the Akira movie before the end was thought of and not correct the mistake. This is for non-anime and anime fans alike and IT ENDS. no fake endings like Evangellion(power rangers Japan-style, not nearly as fun and dont believe the fan service) or .Hack//sign(stil a cool show for character lovers). The king has preached and written: so let it be done.
Rating: Summary: Well worth the price Review: I started watching Cowboy Bebop about a month ago on Cartoon Network, and I got hooked. After about 3 weeks of watching the show, I somewhat impulsively decided to buy the 6-disc complete sessions set. I have not regretted it once. I've already plowed my way through all the DVD's, and now I'm watching them over. I can't get enough of this show. It's the first anime (besides Dragonball Z) that I've really gotten into, and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Four souls.. One ship.. and a boat load of ammo Review: Bringing together the sci-fi and symbolism of any great anime production and the pop culture of all things nostalgic, Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime series out there. All you need to do is watch one session and you'll be hooked. If you are one of those late night freaks who loves to stay tuned to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, then Cowboy Bebop is a must on your animation radar. The problem that I have found with watching Cowboy Bebop on late night cable television, is that it is just a hair past my bedtime and I am continually missing sessions. This complete Session Bow Set is the perfect answer. Following the trials and tribulations of Spike Spiegel and Jet Black, two bounty hunters both with mysterious pasts. In future sessions you are introduced to the seductive and boisterious Faye Valentine and the flighty hacker prodigy, Edward. The chemistry between these four souls and the characters they meet on their way put Cowboy Bebop on a level all by itself. All 24 sessions are connected in some way, whether it be recurring characters, continued themes or repeated lines. The continuing story of the Starship Bebop and its star-crossed crew goes into insanely deep character development where other anime productions only skim the surface. If you have ever wanted to have a reason for an all night marathon, Cowboy Bebop is the perfect choice for you!
Rating: Summary: Cowboy Bebop...bring the Kleenex. Review: Cowboy Bebop is epic. In 26 episodes, you become attached to the entire crew. You even become attached to the minor characters appearing in one episode. If you watch the entire series end to end (putting the movie into the correct place, I believe before or after Hard Luck Woman-Session 24) You never want the story to end. The characters are developed to the point where you think you know them until the very end, and then you need to know more. You feel empty after Real Folk Blues Part II-Session-26, the last episode. I cried, and it takes alot to make me cry.
Rating: Summary: No Review Can Do This Show Justice Review: I read the back covers of this anime over and over and over and I could not understand why it was so popular. Then through a friend, I was encouraged to watch it. I did. I own the entire series and all the CDs and soon the movie. This show is just incredible. The characters are beautiful and loveable and complex and the storyline - despite being episodic mainly - is so absorbing. Just watch it. The music totally makes the show. Yoko Kanno who is well known for her works on Tenkuu no Escaflowne, Please Save My Earth, Turn a Gundam, and many, many, many, many, others is a musical genius. Her music is jazzy and rich and I just adore this woman. Buy this anime or see it through a friend - whatever, just get and experience something you will never forget
Rating: Summary: japanese Animation ... *not* "Anime" Review: Cowboy Bebop is only "anime" in the sense that it's animated and it came out of Japan. Much like the film AKIRA (one of the few anime films I like), it's hard-edged sci-fi that goes for gritty realism. It IS NOT ANIME in the typical sense--it lacks everything that I hate about anime, and that is why I love the Bebop! The characters are very human, and very engaging. Spike Spiegel, the main protagonist, is a great everyman character, and his partners, Jet and Faye, both wear their roles well. Even Ed--the most "anime" thing about this series--fits into the storyline, and has many moments of genuine humanity. Best of all is Ein, though--the most realistic dog ever animated, and source of the of the best laughs in the series. All of the episodes are not pitch-perfect. Like any worthwhile series, there are great episodes, good episodes and a few mediocre episodes (though not one truly *bad* episode). But you'll forgive them the hollow moments, for even when one element of an episode isn't working, there's something else (like the music) that most definitely *is*. And as a whole, it ranks up there with the best animated story I've ever seen.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST Review: What else can I say, Cowboy Bebop is one of the best Amines of all time
Rating: Summary: Cowboy bebop is worth your money and you time Review: To be honest cowboy bebop is the best anime I've seen to date period. It's just a piece of art in my humble opinion. The only fault is it's semi-linear stlye which isn't a bad thing because in a way it makes every episode seem fresh. So why would I have a problem with that. Only because the more linear episodes are incredible and if they really wanted to add the depth they could make you feel something for any character they put on the screen. But don't get me wrong there's no lack of depth in this series in one episode (3) I realize the main character spike flips his cig between his fingers that would seem stupid any other time but I was doing just that at the same time. My point in this story there is no heros alot of people get shot some live some don't. Each character has a vice and characteristics that make them more than what they are. It's as if each of them is pieces of people that do exist and it's done perfect. At the end of the series all the pieces fall into place and everything comes full circle. which doesn't help the fact that you want more of it but there does seem to be some balance. In short it's something very special buy it.
Rating: Summary: Ah but for the love of anime...take a look at this series!! Review: This is "THE" best series that I have seen in a long time, you can miss a disc, and it won't really matter, or leave you wondering whats going on in the plot line. The story line flows well into each other, yet you don't have to watch it one after the other, you can pop in, back etc..to enjoy this anime. The anime characters are top notch, each plot is seperate thus does not become boring as it progresses along, the sound track is excellent. Want top of the line anime than purchase, rent etc... and sit back with the remote and enjoy the series.
