- The futuristic misadventures and tragedies of an easygoing bounty hunter and his partners.
- Spike Spiegel is a bounty hunter in the far future with an easy going attitude and some deadly skill at martial arts. Together with his partners, Jet Black, and later Faye Valentine as well, they go from job to job across the galaxy looking for the high priced fugitives to bag.
- This series was once voted the greatest anime series of all time, and so any criticism of it is likely to incur the ire of its many devoted fans. For me, though, this series was sort of the Miami Vice of anime - very long on cinematic style and flashy visuals and very influential, but pick it apart and you will find that the underlying structure is weaker than you first thought, at least in the early going. <br/><br/>The science fiction details are well thought through and the animation direction is very good overall, but when you start looking at story structure and character, the level of originality drops sharply. The first four episodes have basically the same story line - the bounty hunting main characters go after a fugitive only to find that he has stolen something top secret that other people want and are willing to double cross the bounty hunters over. In the fifth episode we find that one of the main characters used to be an enforcer for the mob. How novel. Okay, this probably sounds worse than it is.<br/><br/>Beyond this point, quite fortunately, the story line breaks away from the formula to explore more of the universe of Cowboy Bebop and how the characters relate to it, all of which is a plus. The show's incredible visual sense, with a great many wonderful science fiction ideas thrown out often in passing and glimpsed but never in other than purely visual terms, and this continues, while the story framework gets more ambitious. More of Earth and why humans spread out into the solar system is examined as is how the crew of the Bebop came together and where they are headed. Love, regret, revenge are introduced and added skillfully to the mix. The storytelling is assured and varied and a strong emotional atmosphere hangs over everything as characters examine their choices, and their motives and wonder where they are headed. But even then, it's long on cool and short on depth. <br/><br/>There is a lot of music in the series - jazz, blues, heavy metal - in fact many of the shows have a thematic music style, and this is a plus, but the resulting music video montages, once again elevate superficial style over dramatic substance. It's a really cool series to look at. With less of a formula approach, especially in the early going, it might be a perfect one.
- Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite shows. I'm not so naive to allow such a bias to sugarcoat my description of the series, though. What I enjoy, what my tastes in music/film/television - those decisions might differ from yours. Thus, I'll make no attempts at changing your opinion. I wish to review the series by itself, as well as hopefully express my deep fondness for the show. Having gotten the formalities out of the way...<br/><br/> Cowboy Bebop, what is it? People have asked me what genre Bebop fits into; sadly, I am usually at a loss for words at that juncture. They ask "Is it action?" It is, partially. "Is it comedy?" It is, partially. "Is it drama?" It is, partially. "Is it a fight against good and evil?" It is, partially...you begin to sense a pattern to this train of thought. However, for you to understand this train of thought is far more important than simply looking at my responses. Thus, let's at the series for what it is.<br/><br/> Cowboy Bebop is a show that takes place in the not-so-distant future, despite its VERY futuristic feel. Earth has been devastated due to an accident from one of the "Gates," giant portals that allow Hyperspace Travel between planets possible. Due to this, and the fact that Gates' allow people to colonize distant planets, the Earth is no longer the center of Humanity's interest. Instead, people have spread themselves all over the Milky Way, utilizing planets and moons for their homes. Because of the sudden necessity, mankind has developed newer technologies that make living life in these new lands much more tolerable.<br/><br/> However... ...new technology breeds new criminals. Sadly, there is such an overwhelming need for policing in our Solar System that the Interplanetary Federation has set up a bounty system for capturing such villains. The bounty hunters of this future - for lack of a better term - are referred to as "Cowboys". As it stands in this makeshift Universe, there are over 300,000 Cowboys hopping around in ships, tracking down villains for bounties. They even have their own TV show that advertises the hottest bounties on the market.<br/><br/> Our 2 main characters are such bounty hunters - Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, and Faye Valentine. Through fights for bounties and various interactions/mix-ups between their daily routines, these 3 have come to live together on the Bebop, Jet's oversized boat/ship, which they use for traveling between planets, moons, and prospects. Our 3 characters are the focus of the story; all that previous talk of the Solar System is merely the background.<br/><br/> The plots for Cowboy Bebop are primarily self-contained stories, driven by our characters and the situations they find themselves in. Be it a new bounty, a former love, or simply a need to sort themselves out, our heroes endure humorous and dramatic situations alike. Since each plot usually features one-shot characters and ideas, the only real consistency from episode to episode are our characters. However, not all storylines are about hunting bounties, nor are they about cheap jokes, action scenes, rediscovering ones' past, etc. Thus, we are simply left with characters that develop over the progression of a series which appears to have no aim.<br/><br/> Yet the series does have aim. If you look at Cowboy Bebop objectively, you might not find a point to the apparently-aimless wanderings of plot and characters. However, take a closer look - you'll find Spike, Faye, and Jet to appear as real, deep people. They have hobbies, likes, dislikes, etc., that come out with each episode. The show is about the characters themselves, not plot or music or such. I find it immensely entertaining to sit and watch the misadventures of a group of people I enjoy knowing - yes, by the end of the series I think you truly KNOW these people.<br/><br/> Because of Cowboy Bebop's somewhat scatter-brained stylization, not everyone enjoys the series for what it is. It has funny episodes, serious episodes, episodes that seem to have no real purpose. The purpose is simple - to give you a wonderful collection of moments, featuring a cast of characters that are genuinely fun to watch. You downright experience the show with them, not just sit back and watch. The show will switch from action to a flash-back in the blink of an eye, filling out a character or situation.<br/><br/>Everything about the show smacks of a future distant, yet there are just as many moments where you will find our characters in a bar or on the street, milling about in what could be Anytown, USA. The blend of the normal with the makings of a possible future are so natural, it leaves you with few questions regarding what you had just seen.<br/><br/> Yoko Kanno's musical score for the series is absolutely wonderful (in my opinion). Treading from her usual roots of classical, Ms. Kanno takes a step in the new direction of almost entirely Jazz music for our background material. Her wonderful arrangements are, in my opinion, never short of brilliant in terms of writing, and the production of said music is equally as commendable. Using the compilation band "The Seatbelts" as her orchestra for which to conduct her myriad of musical talents, Kanno produced 4 CDs of music for the series...and there is still a good deal of music that has yet to be put to disk. The sheer volume alone should earn respect, not even taking into account the quality of the music therein.<br/><br/> Still on the sound of audio, the foley work - that is, sound effects and the like - are commendable, their uses about as accurate as one could hope for such a strange series. The vocal acting is extremely good as well, quite possibly the best I've heard yet for an Anime - original AND dubbed vocal tracks, too, which is quite a feat...I'm quite the critic of such subjects, and I was not let down on any of these points.<br/><br/> The direction for the series is one of the more impressive jobs I've seen, animated or otherwise. Shinchiro Watanabe, the mastermind at the helm of this crazy ship called Bebop, shows his mettle through a variety of styles and mediums to express each situation. He takes the series and sets it up in such a way, showcasing a variety of "camera tricks," that almost give the appearance that he was actually there, recording the situations with a camera. Shifting the focus of a scene from a simple view of the room to, say, though the contents of a half-filled glass of alcohol, does wonders for how everything is viewed and interpreted. I call this raising your average show and raising darn-close to being art.<br/><br/> The combination of such wonderful elements - the stylized viewing of a futuristic life, with great music backing the superbly-voiced characters - creates an impressive series that...one has trouble explaining in few words. I love Cowboy Bebop, there's no doubt about that, and I think it is definitely worth a view or two. Remember, though, you probably won't like all of the series; in fact, there may be episodes that flat-out bore you. However, it's those moments that count, not the series as a whole. ...but don't take my word for it. Get out there and see it for yourself!
