I just completed this series and wow it's just epic and by far the best anime I've ever watched.

The characters, the music, the action everything is done perfectly. From episode 20's plain WTF factor to the amazing ending sequence to the beginning's mix of humor and action. just leaves me blow the fuck away.

This is as close as perfection as you can get.

If you have not seen this yet go to the nearest store and find it and watch it now motherfucker.
 
Of all the anime series I've seen since watching it for the first time, it's still my favorite. Speaking of which, I wonder what Shinichiro Watanabe is up to these days.
 
I love the fuck out of Cowboy Bebop, but it also happens to be one of the most overrated shows ever made. I think it's great, but not godly, and it certainly isn't the best anime I've ever watched.
 
More like most boring anime ever. The first time I ever watched the series, I borrowed the first DVD. It put me to sleep. I managed to force myself to watch the show on Adult Swim when it started. I really don't know why people love the series so much.

He's going to be an associate producer for Fox's live action Cowboy Bebop.
 
I made it to episode 5 or 6 a year ago, and then lost interest. I didn't like the fact that each episode dealt with a different story. I will resume watching the series though, since it seems that the middle and ending sequences are amazing.

Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island?

My favorite anime by a mile, also has some of the best music in any anime I've seen also. Can't wait for Hollywood to fuck it up though.

Awesome music, characters, action sequences, dialogue, setting, animation, style, episodic stories and main story (even though the main story only really covers 5 episodes)?

Your avatar invalidates everything you just said, due to sheer lack of taste.
 
I watched the movie first and been putting it off for a while and it somehow actually made the expeiriance better.

Let's talk about the music..the best part is at the end
when the real folks blues start playing as Spike goes to finish things and you can't help but to go "AWWW YEAH"
.

To be fair, the first four episodes of Bebop are probably the four weakest episodes in the series (well, episodes 1 and 3 aren't bad, but 2 and 4 are pretty weak by Bebop standards, with 4 being my least favorite episode in the series). But the first DVD ends with Ballad of Fallen Angels (episode 5), which is one of the absolute best episodes of any show, so there is that...

He's going to be an associate producer for Fox's live action Cowboy Bebop.

You know "associate producer" isn't really much of a job at all, right? It's one of those titles you give to someone in order to give them some level of recognition without having to pay them more or give them a position with any real responsibility.



Shinichiro Watanabe's most recent stuff is probably the Baby Blue short that he directed for the Genius Party anthology. It's good stuff, though kind of like Watanabe doing his best Makoto Shinkai impression.

He was also music producer on Michiko e Hatchin. That's pretty much just soundtrack type work, though.

BEST. ENGLISH. DUB. EVAR.

Indeed. Beats most big-budget movie dubs too. Just a good choice of VA's IMO. Is there a manga? I've looked and assume there isn't. I love the series and the movie. There are a few episodes I don't like (like when they find Ein), but then stuff like the fights with Mad Perrot and Vicious make it all worthwhile. That song that plays when Spike flies out that stain glass window is my favorite in the series. It is simply perfect for that scene. I can't tell you guys how many times I've watched just that sequence. Probably a hundred times. The music, again, is just perfect.

Oh yeah, the first episode is sweet to. Kinda slow, until Spike meets Asimov at that outside restaurant and that sweet music kicks in. There is something to be said about how well jazz fits in with the series. Just so damn stylish. Only anime with better music IMO is Samurai Champloo. PEACE.

WTF? Gundam doesn't belong on any list of best anime ever IMO. I'd put Macross Plus on there ahead of any Gundam. Otherwise, the only one I know on that list is FMA, and that is indeed good. Of course, it's really only the best for people who saw the original series and follow the manga. The pacing in Brotherhood is probably too aggressive for people new to the series.

Anyway, you had to know you were stirring the hornet's nest by dissing Bebop. That's like going into a Lost thread and calling it crap. ;) PEACE.

I didn't say that was a list of the best anime ever. Just what I thought was better than Cowboy Bebop.

Haven't you heard of it before now? Keanu Reeves is going to be Spike.
Click to expand...
Wow!

Are you serious about that? That is the worst decision ever. Spike actually has speaking parts in the series. Keanu couldn't act in a school play. No way he's Spike and doesn't sink this movie with his wooden acting. Spike is all about style and charisma. Keanu is the antithesis of that. Maybe the director/producer can edit up a miracle like the Wachowskis did in Matrix. PEACE.

:lol :lol :lol yet if it weren't for gundam's financial success, there probably wouldn't be a cowboy bebop seeing as how it's what got sunrise its money.

it also doesn't hurt that Zeta Gundam is really one of the best anime ever.
 
sort of off topic but when is brotherhood being released in english, The first series was also a great dub.

Also the title isn't pure reactionary and spur of the moment hyperbole it's the truth..you heathens

It's being made by Fox. They're going to meddle it into being a pile of shit anyway.


Oh, and yeah, Cowboy Bebop is awesome.

Most people just think of SEED and Jesus Yamato when they think of Gundam these days. The recent series--Seed, Destiny, and 00--have ruined Gundam's good name.

Actually a manga exists but it's an adaptation of the anime and it is known for being crappy compare to the anime(I've never read it though)

I agree. It's a great show. Well directed, with entertaining characters and fantastic music. I think it's very high status amongst Western fans is largely because it's so accessible. That's why you see so many people saying "I hate anime, but Cowboy Bebop is awesome."
The show is a strange contradiction in that its mish-mash hybrid of influences makes it very anime, yet at the same time not really anime at all.

Bebop is boring yet you list Haibane Renmei. Obvious troll is obvious.

I can easily see how someone could find Cowboy Bebop boring and not Haibane Renmei. I know people like that.
Haibane Renmei is not boring, by the way.
 
Keanu's agent is the producer of the Bebop movie and the owner of the film rights. Keanu is very actively involved in the film, and it was pretty much developed as a vehicle for him right from the get go. It's also supposed to be primarily based on Asteroid Blues.

We'll see how it goes...
