I tried to get my dad to watch an episode because I know he would like it, but animation is for babbys. His loss.

Amazon has Cowboy Bebop for $34.49 which effectively makes each episode about $1.38 each. I have only seen the first 2 episodes, but I keep hearing great things about the series. Lots of comparisons to Firefly, which I really liked. I went ahead on the blind buy for the good price, so hopefully it lives up to the hype...
It is very similar to the tone of Firefly in ways. There arent anything like reavers or monsters in it though. Just monstrous people. If I were to criticize something about Cowboy Bebop the episodic nature of it cuts interesting stories short, and the overall story arcs of each character and the show in general is spread out across the entire series of episodes in small amounts here or there, making the show really lack the impact it could if it focused more on the story and less on the adventures they have.

Im pretty sure Firefly was inspired by Cowboy Bebop in the first place.
So I finished watching the whole show on bluray a few days ago. I used to have a problem with the standalone/episodic nature of the show before,but man this time I loved pretty much every bit of it.
I first saw the series when I was like 12 or something, and I think I had retained a lot of my impressions and viewpoints of the series since then (mainly because I didn't give the show another proper chance). In my mind at the time, any episode that didn't feature Spike = filler. Despite all that, I loved the show. But on rewatches, I would skip those "filler" episodes.
Getting the show on bluray, I rewatched every single episode, and man did I grow a new appreciation for the series, and thankfully have grown out of that filler mindset, was actually interested in the other characters' stories.
Also, really great picture quality (aside from the scenes with the upscaled cg). The show is actually watchable on a projector now. Bluray was definitely worth it.

Sort of, as it probably helped refined it after the release of Alien Resurrection, which also released in 1997, which was essentially Joss Whedon's alpha version of his space pirate team dynamic of misfits for Firefly.

Ordered it was still $30 yesterday. Amazon price matched it to the new sale price today. Such a great deal.
Thanks, I've been waiting for this to get cheaper!

I opened both of mine (Funi and Amazon). I'm a collector, but I more enjoy using/displaying. It's dumb for resale, but I don't ever intend on letting these go...
The Amazon edition is so fucking nice I am glad I opened it.
