That final segment was fantastic. The selfish desire to let your opinions not be challenged is a great way of wording it. Sometimes you experience something that means the world to you, and that’s enough. You have so many thoughts on them, but it’s enough to simply let those feelings manifest in who you are, and otherwise stay a personal thing in your brain. You’re right that that’s how it used to be… You could experience the most deep, profound piece of art ever made, and it would be “yours.” You’d have so many feelings and they’d just be in your head, maybe at most you’d share them with your friend group. There’s something almost romantic about that, even tho there’s definitely value in sharing those feelings with a greater audience as well. But it’s nice to not have to worry about having the “correct” feelings, or turning all of your thoughts into Content. That’s why I love how hands-off TGB has been recently, as far as just making videos and otherwise just living his life. Seems like the healthiest way to be an internet person.
*The irony here is the creator of Bebop hated the ships and made them constantly broken down as a way to spite the studio who only gave him a deal so long as he added some time of ship or mech as they were popular at the time and translated to toy deals.*
That ending speech was lowkey one of the most profound things i ever heard on this platform. Felt like it was straight out of Cowboy Bebop. Great job dude.
Keeping thoughts and ideas to yourself can sometimes be one of the harder things to do for most people but I like the idea of it. When we reveal all our inner thoughts to the public it can lead to the judgment of the public affecting you in unforeseen ways. I say leave a bit of mystery to a few things, it's nice to have a few secrets after all.
It looks like a fun enough time but woof some of those visual effects are rough on the eyes. Also gotta say the last mins of the vid spoke to me. I think in this age hot takes and dunks, it can almost be humiliating to talk passionately about things you enjoy for fear of not having the right opinion or not adding enough to the conversation. Maintaining private relationships with media you enjoy is a necessary and healthy habit to get into.
A star fox-like game would fit bebop so well, with its rise in popularity recently it could very well happen at some point. Either way glad to see you’re back, whatever you make it’ll likely still be just as great. You’ll have an audience no matter what and you’ll have detractors no matter what, I hope whatever you choose is what you think is best and fulfills you most!
@@SpiderBobTheHedgehog Video ends with him wondering if he doesn't share his thoughts on the show and other stuff he likes because it might be challenged if he does say them.
I just watched Bebop for the first time all the way through, and absolutely loved it. I'd seen footage of this game before, but I had no idea it was released so early in the series' run! Fascinating breakdown of an obscure game. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Anime TGB, but I also 100% understand not wanting to have every opinion or thought you have scrutinised or part of the larger conversation =)
Let's be real, "the Bebop crew gets pulled into another dimension that's exactly like the cheesy movie they were watching just prior" is honestly not that far off for a Bebop episode plot. The show had terrorists trying to de-evolve humans with a virus, a rotten forgotten leftover lunch that nearly killed the entire crew, a serial killer cyborg clown with the mind of a child, and a some kind of Nirvana analogue hiding inside of hyperspace tunnels.
@@EddDoubleDD What grounds it is the character drama. The circumstances they get into are absolutely wacky at times. Granted, Gateway Shuffle, Toys in the Attic, Pierot le Fou and Boogie Woogie Feng Shui are probably the weidest episodes of all. Well, that and Mushroom Samba, lol.
@@CappnRob the character drama is on top of it's grounded hard sci world that's an inner-solar system extension of our own with all it's grime and all those wacky episodes are still rooted in believable concepts like Virus, Poisonous Seafood and Unethical Human Experimentation
@@EddDoubleDD The scifi isnt hard at all lol. It presents as hard, but the science is all literally hand waving. It uses real life ideas to tell fantastical stories, that's what makes Bebop so good.
If you liked the aesthetic from the open space mission, look up the PS1 game Omega Boost. It's a visually stunning mech shooter made by the same team that made Gran Turismo.
One of the main reasons for making the show was to market the spaceships as Bandai (Gundam) loves to sell toys. So this space shooter on release makes perfect sense on paper. The 2 manga and the PS2 game also suck so Bebop is indeed a 26 ep and a movie wonder. And it was never remade...
The title alone makes me wonder how the Star Fox crew and the crew of the Bebop would interact. Like maybe Spike and pals find themselves in the Lylat system
I would Definitely vouch for that interaction from a SRW (Super Robot Wars) game! But knowing how Fucking stengy Nintendo is! We’ll probably only get that Game and Cast of Characters if it was Nintendo Only! 😤
Thanks for the fascinating look into the two Cowboy Bebop games! A space shooter, than an action adventure game... Fitting for the series! There is a third game where the Cowboy Bebop cast appears though: Super Robot Wars T! They pilot their ships to help mecha!
I would love any type of retrospective from you. Your lack of fanfare and unnecessary performance is so refreshing. The fact that i can click on a video on your first sentence is reviewing the game is so nutty for youtube nowadays. You're straight to the point, funny and VERY SEXY. So id watch stuff on any topic. That being said. You ever watched Samurai Champloo? That show has a very interesting ps2 game.
In the context of the show I understand these last words of the video. Cowboy Bebop is without a doubt my favorite show of all time and I also think it's one of the best of all time, both for a lot of reasons, some from the heart, making it my favorite, some from the head, making it good. And this show burned itself deep into the former, it would feel somewhat self-revealing talking about it online as a whole and only talking about the latter half wouldn't make it justice. Although the characters in the show itself have a side to them they share with others and another that breaks out from time to time, mostly when they feel safe or can't hide it anymore, like in the final episode, so this might be fitting after all. I don't even like watching the show with someone else, this also would feel out of place in this case, this isn't for a group to watch with popcorn and softdrinks in hand. So even it that isn't your reason, I see a reason for not sharing your thoughts about Cowboy Bebop online, the connection to some art feels intimate, even if it's technically public, maybe so we can fool ourselfs that it isn't, that it's a treasure just for us and shattering this supposed illusion too much may shift the balance from heart to head too much...
One of the many things I love about cowboy bebop that I don’t think gets as much praise is its setting. That nearly hard scifi lived world that feels tangible. It’s got great world building that it lets its visuals allude to more than directly stating (although if it’s important to the plot of the ep it’s Jet’s job to explain it) It’s wild to me that this game ignores that for something more generic.
Finding out when this released compared to the show makes a LOT of sense. When I first bought this game, I was disappointed because it was so NOT Bebop. But then when I revisited it in my quest to play every Rail Shooter, I discovered the game is REALLY good in places. Namely the phenomenal weapon balance that doesn't devolve into missile spam and has me juggling 3 weapons at once. The camera is a disaster though and it's weird that it supports Dual Shock rumble but not analog controls. Also if you don't actually physically own it, you're missing out because the case actually opens up into a panorama on the inside. One of the best game cases I've ever seen. That said there's a cheaper Greatest Hits version that's the same game minus the cool case. Price definitely jumped though as it was $30 when I got mine. Also...can I just say "adjusting for inflation" always seems iffy, especially on videogames. This would have been a standard priced game, so $50 at the time. Either way, cool to see someone else enjoy this game. Also, yeah, the lack of gimmicks is one of the greatest strengths here. Astro Trooper Vanark is a FAR better looking and more polished rail shooter, but the sheer amount of gimmicks makes it so there are only 2 stages I actually wanna replay.
I hadn't really considered the idea of not expressing your thoughts on certain media because it might be too personal or more fulfilling to keep it yourself. In this era of video essays and analysis of all sorts of media it would seem like the go-to route would be to talk about the stuff most personal to you because those are the things you would have the most unique stuff to say about and thus attract the most eyes to your videos/writing. But maybe sometimes it's better not to. Not everything about yourself needs to be perceived by others. It's an interesting thought to think about.
This game looked interesting. I feel like they'd had the time to put in more, it could've been fascinating. Maybe something akin to a disable/capture vs kill setup for each of the main targets. I.e. use weaker weapons or a specific alternate weapon to capture the enemy and use your big weapons to kill them. You could also branch the story based on how you handled those previous bounties (i.e. you get more information out of them if you capture them, but it's not a game ender if you end up killing them all)
happy 25th anniversary cowboy bebop!!!(both the anime & game.:3) always thought of star fox mixed with lupin the 3rd with cowboy bebop: spike:fox mcloud/lupin faye valentine:falco/fujiko mine jet black:peppy/jigen ed:quirky slippy/goemon with the dynamic tone shift and with what we have of the series now would be for a star fox style cowboy bebop game/mixed with the creators other series.
I would love to hear your deeper thoughts on the Bebop anime, but im totally cool with you keeping them to yourself, totally understand too. Bebop is something really special, and potentially letting venom from the internet poke at your feelings about it sounds awful honestly, im just glad we can enjoy it together honestly.
I had no idea this game existed and each sentence felt more baffling than the next. With Bebop being placed on such a pedestal these days, deserved ofc, hearing they speedran out a game for a marketing blitz that deliberately had Cowboy Bebop go INSIDE their computer / tv is so at odds with our current view of it you can't do much more than giggle at it. But hey- at least it sounds like the rail-shooter aspects were decent... minus the camera.
Love your channel tgbs! As a particular fan of your ratchet and clank videos I would really like to know if you plan on doing something along the lines of a review for Rift Apart? very curious what you think! I feel its gameplay was good but not quite what made the original ratchets so good back in the day. As for the story.. egh tbh id like to see you tear it apart
Brit's mentioned it before, that he has no intentions of reviewing Rift Apart or anything Ratchet beyond it, because he finds the direction Ratchet and Clank games have had headed towards for most of the series' lifespan by now is not for him and he doesn't want to become the Grinch and chase after and dunk on something he knows he will not like.
@@jondoe7036 That's fair and I'm glad to see he's shared his take at least! I quite enjoyed rift apart gameplay-wise. It's not the RAC 1 gold that brit loves but it's a fun play. Still, i can't help but like listening to him talk about these games! x)
The best anime game is still Macross Do You Remember Love for the PS2, for me at least. It's Macross meets Ace Combat. Gameplay is well made and it even adapts the TV series and Movie stories as separate campaigns.
Huh, I never knew this existed. It looks like a pretty fun afternoon. On another note, the Mission Clear screen you show at 4:45 has a lot of flashing lights that don't pair great with the static filter. I think it'd be for the best if you add a warning to the description or video (if possible) for those who are sensitive to that sort of thing.
I'm wondering if you would be interested in covering the Star Fox game series at any point? What does the Stylish Japanese action game guy think of the 3D arcade shmup series?
I don't care for Cowboy Bebop myself, I think it's a good show and fantastic introduction to anime because it's something more general audiences can really get behind due to grungy blue-collar sci-fi existing for some time and being fairly popular. But I'm just not that into it. That's just something that happens when you've seen far too much anime, and when your tastes lie elsewhere to begin with. That said, if you're reading this, I'd love to see a video about the show and everything you enjoy and think about it if you could get around the blocks. I really only don't wanna hear people talk about stuff they like if I flat out don't like it, otherwise it doesn't matter to me if I don't think some things were as deep as you do.
There's a handful, they're just relatively obscure. You've got Philosoma (though it's only a 3D scrolling shooter like Star Fox _some_ of the time), Total Eclipse, Solar Eclipse, Viper, Novastorm, Space Debris, and Hard Boiled (though these didn't need localizing), Galaga: Destination Earth (changes perspective like Philosoma _and_ western made again), Omega Boost (not strictly "on rails" like Star Fox but definitely in the ballpark), and Jupiter Strike.
Videos on Rift Apart aren't happening here. Brit has said that he finds the modern direction of Ratchet games makes them no longer made for him and he has no interest in chasing after and dunking on something he knows he wouldn't have liked and feel like the Grinch for doing it. Brit has also said he feels his prior videos have outlined what he likes and doesn't like about Ratchet and Clank as a series well enough to give people an indication as to what his opinion on Rift Apart and anything beyond it would be.
He answered that in his new year's video back when Rift Apart was about to come out, that he has no interest in reviewing something he knows he wouldn't like, going by how for the longest time now the series has clearly stopped catering to things he originally liked about it.
Anime games are pretty interesting. You have some of the most influential and best pre-Arkham licensed games, but they weren’t released in the west. You also have some of the worst games of all time like the NES Kinnikuman and Fist of the North Star games, that no one over here knows about.
@@devilmaycrysarockingdontcome Yeah I looked into that, the release dates for it are confusing though. The main wikipedia page (without a source) claims that that manga started 7 months before the first anime broadcast. The only section with a source says that the first volume was released a month after the anime started. Now It's possible the manga chapters were being serialised starting 7 months before the anime started airing. Either way that manga doesn't follow the story of the show, and has completely different art style, even the Ed in it has a different gender apparently. The game (despite its alternative dimension portal) is still a more real direct tie-in to the show, so while I considered it, I decided not to bring up the mangas floating around out there.
@@TheGamingBritShow yeah after looking into it a little more the manga is pretty different and seems to only vaguely resemble the anime, and the anime doesn't appear to be based on it. The timeline and relationship between the manga and anime seems strange. The game is also definitely based on the anime so it must have been developed pretty quickly.
@@devilmaycrysarockingdontcome Yeah Bebop isn't based on any manga. Much like this game the manga is probably another piece of promotional material made alongside the anime's production but with an entirely different direction.
Sure, you can hold opinions for yourself. God knows you've been blasted by revealing some of your personal takes in the past. But if you want the opinion of a long-time fan, I think it's all about style. You have developed a particular style with your videos and the content you cover. At some point it was about action games, then it expanded to games in general, and then you shrank it down again to games that you really care about. Remember that old, kinda negative Order 1886 review? As a fan I wouldn't want you to talk about boring, gray cinematic movie-games anymore, not because you can't say anything worthwhile, but because it isn't your style to talk about them. You didn't get into the nitty gritty, below the surface of the contents within to uncover some new perspective I've never thought about. Now look at the Travis Strikes Back review, and the vibe is totally different. It feels like you're really trying to put complex feelings and emotions about your experience with the game into words. Something that not everyone is going to get, feelings about the medium of video games that go over the head of people that simply "doesn't get it" or aren't dorky enough to care about Suda 51 and his old Xbox 360 games. I love that about your best reviews, you really do care about this stuff and you have interesting things to say about it. If you think an anime is important to you, and you have a classic Brit take or interpretation, I'd love to hear it. You really are a critic in that sense, you experience art fairly and honestly. If you think you've got something to say about Bebop beyond "Music good" or "Characters cool" (I know you do) then go for it!
It’s always amusing how the west praise this show but here in Japan is barely a footprint in sand lol. 😂 like Brit mentioned. It just never took off here. Most peeps found it boring and kind generic.
I think the notion that Bebop wasn't popular in Japan is somewhat exaggerated. It wasn't a cultural phenomenon there like Evangelion but it's still well regarded, and a theatrical movie was put into production before it took off in the west. We hold it in such high regard in the West though, it probably eclipses its cultural footprint in Japan.
As one of the biggest Cowboy Bebop haters, I just want to let you know that we do exist. So your idea of keeping it to yourself in order to not have it be challenged isn't that far-fetched.
All youtube videos talk about the same IPs and have the exact same introductions. Can we skip them? Why is anyone explaining what Cowboy Bebop is in 2023? Why is anyone explaining what it made you feel? There are thousands of videos for that already. When will creators collectively just begin with their point?
Repetition aside, I always assumed folks making videos are working by the same rule my university teachers gave out when writing essays: explain the concepts as clearly as possible and never assume whoever is reading/watching will know what you're talking about.
That final segment was fantastic. The selfish desire to let your opinions not be challenged is a great way of wording it. Sometimes you experience something that means the world to you, and that’s enough. You have so many thoughts on them, but it’s enough to simply let those feelings manifest in who you are, and otherwise stay a personal thing in your brain. You’re right that that’s how it used to be… You could experience the most deep, profound piece of art ever made, and it would be “yours.” You’d have so many feelings and they’d just be in your head, maybe at most you’d share them with your friend group. There’s something almost romantic about that, even tho there’s definitely value in sharing those feelings with a greater audience as well. But it’s nice to not have to worry about having the “correct” feelings, or turning all of your thoughts into Content. That’s why I love how hands-off TGB has been recently, as far as just making videos and otherwise just living his life. Seems like the healthiest way to be an internet person.
that and having a hate boner for metriod other m.
Damn that conclusion was cowboy bebop af
Gotta carry that weight, Brit.
*The irony here is the creator of Bebop hated the ships and made them constantly broken down as a way to spite the studio who only gave him a deal so long as he added some time of ship or mech as they were popular at the time and translated to toy deals.*
*WHY MUST YOUR COMMENT BE IN BOLD!!!*
*Why Would You Comment Something So Controversial Yet So Bold?*

Damn. That last minute.
Its ironic because i want a Cowboy BeBop Star Fox Anime
Have you seen A Fox in Space?
Looking at this game's space levels reminds me a LOT of Omega Boost
The funny thing about that game was that it was actually developed by Polyphony Digital. You know, the gran turismo guys...
Omega Boost mentioned, great taste
If you liked the aesthetic from the open space mission, look up the PS1 game Omega Boost.
It's a visually stunning mech shooter made by the same team that made Gran Turismo.
Omega boost really wowed me as a child.
One of the main reasons for making the show was to market the spaceships as Bandai (Gundam) loves to sell toys. So this space shooter on release makes perfect sense on paper. The 2 manga and the PS2 game also suck so Bebop is indeed a 26 ep and a movie wonder. And it was never remade...
yep, good that we got spared from anyone adapting it, specialy netflix.

Both crews seem like kindred spirits.
I would Definitely vouch for that interaction from a SRW (Super Robot Wars) game! But knowing how Fucking stengy Nintendo is! We’ll probably only get that Game and Cast of Characters if it was Nintendo Only!
😤
Unbelievable. I've been a fan for so long and never knew this existed. Great review video
Another great episode, I wanted the Bebop game and was crushed when I didn’t make its way to the US. I glad I was able to finally see it!
Excellent review!
Sly Prequel Meme in this video, nice. Thanks for covering, super interesting that they made the game so early relative to the show’s premier.
Thanks for the fascinating look into the two Cowboy Bebop games! A space shooter, than an action adventure game... Fitting for the series!
There is a third game where the Cowboy Bebop cast appears though: Super Robot Wars T! They pilot their ships to help mecha!

Big fan of the show, might cover the game some day.
It has the most drastic 30 second gameplay honeymoon period I have ever experienced.
I know it’s a monkeys paw to ask for someone to take another shot at a
Cowboy Bebop game… but come on it’s just Yakuza in space.
Lemme just make a few wiki articles on the Cowboy Bebop real quick...
In the context of the show I understand these last words of the video. Cowboy Bebop is without a doubt my favorite show of all time and I also think it's one of the best of all time, both for a lot of reasons, some from the heart, making it my favorite, some from the head, making it good.

Also...can I just say "adjusting for inflation" always seems iffy, especially on videogames. This would have been a standard priced game, so $50 at the time.
Either way, cool to see someone else enjoy this game. Also, yeah, the lack of gimmicks is one of the greatest strengths here. Astro Trooper Vanark is a FAR better looking and more polished rail shooter, but the sheer amount of gimmicks makes it so there are only 2 stages I actually wanna replay.
Thanks for the vid
The last part feels like something straight from Cowboy Bebop
Didnt know you were a Bebop fan as well. Love it 😍
Fun Fact: the show was made to sell model ships. That's why this game is about flying these ships.
60 quid? You're gonna carry that weight in your wallet for sure.
I will never stop discovering new PS1 games
I would love to hear your opinions on cowboy bebop someday. Great video, as usual.
Dang that stuff looks great.

That start up screen made me pucker so hard.....not even CLOSE to anything but Sonic....
so the whole game is the oppening mini game of tekken 5. nice.
Speaking of sick box art, No Longer Human has a sick box art and I plan on getting it solely because it looks awesome
so many people need to hear the last part of this video
Well, I can chalk this up to the Cast getting sucked to a Pre-Super Robot Wars Cameo appearance!
I remember reading about the post mortem a long time ago. It was written by a programmer whose first language isn't English, very difficult to read.
Can you make a video about the batman beyond show's tie-in game?
Also love your content 😊
Looks awesome! Always loved panzer dragoon series and g-vector and obviously star fox! Star fox 2 on snes is also absolutely amazing.
This game looked interesting. I feel like they'd had the time to put in more, it could've been fascinating. Maybe something akin to a disable/capture vs kill setup for each of the main targets. I.e. use weaker weapons or a specific alternate weapon to capture the enemy and use your big weapons to kill them. You could also branch the story based on how you handled those previous bounties (i.e. you get more information out of them if you capture them, but it's not a game ender if you end up killing them all)
So one of the best box arts out there, IMO, is the box art for "Metal Gear Solid" USA release. Also, the box art for "Silent Hill 2.'
Freespace 1 did the whole stars blurring as you swung your ship around thing, and all without screwing your visibility
Hope you see the movie too with your Marathon run, Vincent is my favorite antag
That would have been incredible to play back then
I'm really surprised this wasn't localized. That ps1 Inuyasha fighting game was in 2003 but not Cowboy Bebop. That's messed up.
Did Bandai had exclusive rights for anime games back in pre PS2 era?
Bandai didn’t License Cowboy Bebop, they OWN it.
The Anime studio that made the show (Studio Sunrise) is a Bandai Namco subsidiary.
This game looks pretty fun, I m a big fan of rail shooters and bebop ha
happy 25th anniversary cowboy bebop!!!(both the anime & game.:3)
always thought of star fox mixed with lupin the 3rd with cowboy bebop:
spike:fox mcloud/lupin
faye valentine:falco/fujiko mine
jet black:peppy/jigen
ed:quirky slippy/goemon with the dynamic tone shift
and with what we have of the series now would be for a star fox style cowboy bebop game/mixed with the creators other series.
Im down for whatever you decide.
Oh man I had no idea this existed. It looks like it would’ve been a fun rental, like a lot of PS1 titles.
I would love to hear your deeper thoughts on the Bebop anime, but im totally cool with you keeping them to yourself, totally understand too. Bebop is something really special, and potentially letting venom from the internet poke at your feelings about it sounds awful honestly, im just glad we can enjoy it together honestly.
I want play this game in my PS1.
I had no idea this game existed and each sentence felt more baffling than the next. With Bebop being placed on such a pedestal these days, deserved ofc, hearing they speedran out a game for a marketing blitz that deliberately had Cowboy Bebop go INSIDE their computer / tv is so at odds with our current view of it you can't do much more than giggle at it. But hey- at least it sounds like the rail-shooter aspects were decent... minus the camera.
Love your channel tgbs! As a particular fan of your ratchet and clank videos I would really like to know if you plan on doing something along the lines of a review for Rift Apart? very curious what you think!
I feel its gameplay was good but not quite what made the original ratchets so good back in the day. As for the story.. egh tbh id like to see you tear it apart
Brit's mentioned it before, that he has no intentions of reviewing Rift Apart or anything Ratchet beyond it, because he finds the direction Ratchet and Clank games have had headed towards for most of the series' lifespan by now is not for him and he doesn't want to become the Grinch and chase after and dunk on something he knows he will not like.
@@jondoe7036 That's fair and I'm glad to see he's shared his take at least! I quite enjoyed rift apart gameplay-wise. It's not the RAC 1 gold that brit loves but it's a fun play. Still, i can't help but like listening to him talk about these games! x)
The best anime game is still Macross Do You Remember Love for the PS2, for me at least.
It's Macross meets Ace Combat. Gameplay is well made and it even adapts the TV series and Movie stories as separate campaigns.
This is the only Cowboy Bebop game ever made on the PS1, and its Japan only. It'll be nice if they make more of these.
wait that train level is literally the train level, from starfox 64. that like the sequence looks so similar to the lead into the boss.
Huh, I never knew this existed. It looks like a pretty fun afternoon.
On another note, the Mission Clear screen you show at 4:45 has a lot of flashing lights that don't pair great with the static filter. I think it'd be for the best if you add a warning to the description or video (if possible) for those who are sensitive to that sort of thing.
it's funny how much the music reminds me of dragon ball games of the era, makes sense considering it's bandai but my god it's not Bebop.
Yo my respect for you grew a lot, knowing you're a fellow Beebop appreciator. Good stuff
We need to hear your thoughts on the show.
I'm wondering if you would be interested in covering the Star Fox game series at any point?
What does the Stylish Japanese action game guy think of the 3D arcade shmup series?
That Progear video from a little while back had me wondering if we'd get any more shmup reviews, would be cool to see. The ps1 era especially
@@LoppinLazy Okay, but I'm mainly talking about Star Fox or "Star Fox-like" games like Kid Icarus Uprising.
@@doclouis4236 I know. And?
@@LoppinLazy Just not to confuse those 2D side-scroller games with the very few 3D ones.
Definitely make a video about cowboy bebop it is deep and every possible aspect of it that could warrant discussion is valid and worth discussing
I think I read somewhere that the PS2 game had a planed US release, but then Bandai closed its US down.
Do the action rpg star fox game lmao
Does anyone know what the art at 0:52 is? Wanna make it my wallpaper but can’t find it online
I don't care for Cowboy Bebop myself, I think it's a good show and fantastic introduction to anime because it's something more general audiences can really get behind due to grungy blue-collar sci-fi existing for some time and being fairly popular. But I'm just not that into it. That's just something that happens when you've seen far too much anime, and when your tastes lie elsewhere to begin with. That said, if you're reading this, I'd love to see a video about the show and everything you enjoy and think about it if you could get around the blocks. I really only don't wanna hear people talk about stuff they like if I flat out don't like it, otherwise it doesn't matter to me if I don't think some things were as deep as you do.
Looks like the lost titan a.e game
🔥🔥🔥
It's odd how few Starfox-like ps1 games were localized. Vanark is the only one I can think of.
There's a handful, they're just relatively obscure. You've got Philosoma (though it's only a 3D scrolling shooter like Star Fox _some_ of the time), Total Eclipse, Solar Eclipse, Viper, Novastorm, Space Debris, and Hard Boiled (though these didn't need localizing), Galaga: Destination Earth (changes perspective like Philosoma _and_ western made again), Omega Boost (not strictly "on rails" like Star Fox but definitely in the ballpark), and Jupiter Strike.

hi . i watched all Ratchet and Clank videos . but i didnt Find anything about Rift Apart ?
Videos on Rift Apart aren't happening here. Brit has said that he finds the modern direction of Ratchet games makes them no longer made for him and he has no interest in chasing after and dunking on something he knows he wouldn't have liked and feel like the Grinch for doing it. Brit has also said he feels his prior videos have outlined what he likes and doesn't like about Ratchet and Clank as a series well enough to give people an indication as to what his opinion on Rift Apart and anything beyond it would be.
please just make a cowboy bebop anime video
Hi question, have you played Rift Apart and if so, why have'nt u decided to make a review?
He answered that in his new year's video back when Rift Apart was about to come out, that he has no interest in reviewing something he knows he wouldn't like, going by how for the longest time now the series has clearly stopped catering to things he originally liked about it.
@@jondoe7036 Thank you for the answer
Where can I play this
Why not show the last set piece? You outlined some very good reasons why hardly anyone is going to go see it.
It's a short game and duckstation exists.
Anime games are pretty interesting. You have some of the most influential and best pre-Arkham licensed games, but they weren’t released in the west. You also have some of the worst games of all time like the NES Kinnikuman and Fist of the North Star games, that no one over here knows about.
what about your channel amanofpassion? you talked about anime on it.
It was a Manga for a couple years before it was an anime.
Source?
@@TheGamingBritShow according to wikipedia there was a manga called cowboy bebop shooting star that came out like a year before the anime
@@devilmaycrysarockingdontcome Yeah I looked into that, the release dates for it are confusing though. The main wikipedia page (without a source) claims that that manga started 7 months before the first anime broadcast. The only section with a source says that the first volume was released a month after the anime started. Now It's possible the manga chapters were being serialised starting 7 months before the anime started airing.
Either way that manga doesn't follow the story of the show, and has completely different art style, even the Ed in it has a different gender apparently. The game (despite its alternative dimension portal) is still a more real direct tie-in to the show, so while I considered it, I decided not to bring up the mangas floating around out there.
@@TheGamingBritShow yeah after looking into it a little more the manga is pretty different and seems to only vaguely resemble the anime, and the anime doesn't appear to be based on it.
The timeline and relationship between the manga and anime seems strange. The game is also definitely based on the anime so it must have been developed pretty quickly.
@@devilmaycrysarockingdontcome Yeah Bebop isn't based on any manga. Much like this game the manga is probably another piece of promotional material made alongside the anime's production but with an entirely different direction.
Damn I’m fast 😂
In bed ayooooo
@@yeahey5947 lol
The only anime you aren't ashamed of sharing it with non anime fans

Sure, you can hold opinions for yourself. God knows you've been blasted by revealing some of your personal takes in the past. But if you want the opinion of a long-time fan, I think it's all about style.
You have developed a particular style with your videos and the content you cover. At some point it was about action games, then it expanded to games in general, and then you shrank it down again to games that you really care about. Remember that old, kinda negative Order 1886 review? As a fan I wouldn't want you to talk about boring, gray cinematic movie-games anymore, not because you can't say anything worthwhile, but because it isn't your style to talk about them. You didn't get into the nitty gritty, below the surface of the contents within to uncover some new perspective I've never thought about.
Now look at the Travis Strikes Back review, and the vibe is totally different. It feels like you're really trying to put complex feelings and emotions about your experience with the game into words. Something that not everyone is going to get, feelings about the medium of video games that go over the head of people that simply "doesn't get it" or aren't dorky enough to care about Suda 51 and his old Xbox 360 games. I love that about your best reviews, you really do care about this stuff and you have interesting things to say about it. If you think an anime is important to you, and you have a classic Brit take or interpretation, I'd love to hear it. You really are a critic in that sense, you experience art fairly and honestly. If you think you've got something to say about Bebop beyond "Music good" or "Characters cool" (I know you do) then go for it!
It’s always amusing how the west praise this show but here in Japan is barely a footprint in sand lol. 😂 like Brit mentioned. It just never took off here. Most peeps found it boring and kind generic.
I think the notion that Bebop wasn't popular in Japan is somewhat exaggerated. It wasn't a cultural phenomenon there like Evangelion but it's still well regarded, and a theatrical movie was put into production before it took off in the west. We hold it in such high regard in the West though, it probably eclipses its cultural footprint in Japan.
As one of the biggest Cowboy Bebop haters, I just want to let you know that we do exist. So your idea of keeping it to yourself in order to not have it be challenged isn't that far-fetched.
This is my kind of tgbs content
You should check out one of the lupin the third games
All youtube videos talk about the same IPs and have the exact same introductions.
Can we skip them?
Why is anyone explaining what Cowboy Bebop is in 2023? Why is anyone explaining what it made you feel?
There are thousands of videos for that already.
When will creators collectively just begin with their point?
Repetition aside, I always assumed folks making videos are working by the same rule my university teachers gave out when writing essays: explain the concepts as clearly as possible and never assume whoever is reading/watching will know what you're talking about.
