Tank! is widely regarded as one of the best Intro songs of all time. The whole point of the anime is that it's built around music, that's why the episodes are called "sessions" (as in Jazz) and all episodes titles have music motifs.
Reminds me of the Baccano opening, that was great too
I love it
As a kid Tank was my #1 anime song.
Out of all of the most recent stuff Mob Psycho 2's Opening is probably the best.
Rising of the Shield Hero had a good one though.
ArlanKels kaguya and all the attack on titan ones
The sax play is out of this world
The Bebop is their ship. "Cowboy" is slang for "bounty hunter".
Bebop is also a music style. It's the music style they use for the soundtrack for that matter. I always interpreted the title to be meant as "the cowboy's bebop" or "the cowboy's song", essentially a bebop that tells the story of a cowboy.
Always thought the ship being named The Bebop had nothing to do with the title. I may be wrong though, I'll have to read up on it
And its simple a Bad Ass name for a bad ass series.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Wrong read any Shinichiro Watanabe interview he has stated multiple times Bebop was for the jazz music and Watanabe always starts with music first then characters then story the naming of the Bebop came near the end of the writing process Cowboy was a play on America's fascination with guns while also paying homage to old western movies.....It's common knowledge @RagnarTheRed gets it .....while your interpretation is not wrong its not the creator's intended interpretation ......
Cowboy Bebop is also symbolic for the deliberate melding of genres and styles that the show does (sci-fi, western, jazz, blues, rock, drama, comedy, etc.) The juxtaposition of two things so uncommon “cowboy” and “bebop” which somehow so accurately reflect the style is supposed to represent that. That’s why in many of the title cards in the background it sometimes says: “They must create new dreams and films by breaking traditional styles. They are sick and tired of conventional fixed style jazz. …the work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called COWBOY BEBOP, will play without fear of risky things.”
Maiku X that’s so stupid. Bebop wasn’t the death of jazz it was its elevation into a higher artform. That’s why Charlie Parker is considered one of the undisputed best jazz musicians of all time, and he was pretty much the progenitor of bebop as a style. I think you’re confusing bebop with free jazz. Bebop is not hard to listen to per se even if theoretically it is complicated/complex. It’s still highly melodic and the licks are easy to follow
**Real Folk Blues Intensifies**
One of the best endings!
**Real Folk Blues Intensifying More**
Ghost Phil that ending was so depressing lol
Yeah, but the song is just awsome!
Of course
Pretty sure this is the best anime ever. Music, art style, voice acting, story, all perfect.
Rob Dyer Cory in the House is the best anime ever
I never got the story
Rob Dyer I actually like Samurai Champloo more from same creator.
It's good, it's really good but too episodic for me unfortunately.
Being episodic is not a fault. I also prefer serialized shows but Cowboy Bebop doesn't want to be serialized because episodic nature of it actually helps the narrative and as an episodic show Bebop is pretty much flawless.
I would definitely put it up there with shows like Breaking Bad as one of the best shows of all time even though it's not even close to being my favorite.
Cowboy Bebop came out in 1998, Firefly came out in 2002.
Brett DuVale hmmmmm. Interesting if we’re talking about inspiration...
They may already know but Jet From Avatar The Last Airbender was created by the makers of that show who are fans of Cowboy Bebop. They based his appearance on Spike and gave him Jet's name.
Also sokka and zuko's exchange about Jet in ember island players was a nice touch
I never knew that! Awesone
Fuck that theme song is so good lol.
One of the few anime intros I never skip
Jay J The Real Bluesssssssss 😭
Munzur Baba Nope!
BEST OP EVAH! PERIOD!
you can never go wrong with Tank!
*I'M SO HAPPY YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING THIS, IT'S MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE.*
its every anime fans favorite, its one of the best animes ever made
You're gonna carry that weight
I hope they watch the ending part to that episode
Don't spoil it :)
Yoko Kanno is an ingenious composer. The soundtrack is def worth a pickup!
Her work on the Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex TV Series is just as good!
Darren Richardson Her work on practically everything is really good.
I have the soundtrack albums for the series and the movie. play them all the time!
Not to mention the model for "Radical Edward!";)
Agreed. Fucking incredible, it even sounds authentic.
This is the anime sci fi tv series that Quentin Tarantino would make. It’s got a lot of the same influences-spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation films, Bruce Lee kung fu films, John Woo style Hong Kong action movies, etc.
In fact, Tarantino asked Daryl Hannah to watch this series in preparation for her role in the Kill Bill movies.
Thats cool. Never knew. Is it true?
Ochinpo only for the violence and language, though. Look at the influences for Cowboy Bebop. Spaghetti Westerns? Check. Kung Fu movies? Check. Blaxploitation films? Check. John woo style Hong Kong action movies? Check. Those are all giant influences on both this series and Tarantino. Black Lagoon has none of that.
Steven Luke well yeah, why would I say it if I didn’t believe it to be true? Google it for yourself.
Ochinpo Black Lagoon? I’ve seen seasons 1 and 2. Where the hell is the Spaghetti Western influence? Or the 70s Kung fu movies? And blaxploitation? I can point to specific episodes of CB that are direct homages to each of those genres, but Can you do the same for Black Lagoon?
If you guys like this, I can't recommend Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy highly enough. Very, VERY different shows from Cowboy Bebop, but spear-headed by the same guy and with the same core premise of "odd genre mashup". Cowboy Bebop is clearly Sci-Fi Western with Jazz, but Samurai Champloo is Medieval Samurai Hip-Hop and Space Dandy is Sci-Fi Psychedelic Disco.
EDIT: They also both have A+ english dubs, just like Cowboy Bebop.
FlubbedPig This. All 3 of these are great animes. They should also check out Trigun which is also Western-ish anime that's only a season long.
No wonder I enjoyed Space Dandy, I really saw it as a great deconstruction of the space bounty hunter
I guess Carole & Tuesday now, considering it literally takes place in the same universe as Bebop.
I was and is a massive fan of Bleach and remember Samurai Champloo coming around the same time and the show was gaining all the praise from people while I getting jealous and angered.
The music supervisor for the series had just returned from a trip to New Orleans when they started production.
This video was uploaded hours ago, so how is your comment 2 weeks old?
Patreon baby
One thing I can always appreciate about Bebop is how well it does it’s world building. Episode 1 is the perfect example, we can already infer so much about the setting just from context clues from Spike and the rest of the characters, it’s masterful!
"Which came first, this or Firefly?" ...these poor youngsters. They should check out Trigun next for more space western goodness.
DarkseedAlpha no idea how happy it makes me to see people still talking about Trigun it's my 3rd favorite anime behind CB and FMAB
@@dmass88 Yep, and the opening is godly. Those sweet crunchy guitar riffs. Tsuneo Imahori you fabulous bastard...
@@dmass88 I fucking love trigun!! Been seeing ya on a bunch of bebop vids too bud, another man of culture I see...
The definition of a cool anime. Strictly for adults and from what I consider my golden age of anime!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS. This was my first anime outside of DBZ I watched. I love this show so much. It is a classic show.
ManicMeeks same here lol. I think Bebop was a lot of people's intro to anime.
Same for me! This and Trigun!
You all started in the right place. I'm an old timer my first anime was Robotech/Macross
“They never got the bounty”
Truer words were never spoken…
HOLY SHIT.
you guys have no idea how this is gonna boost your youtube channel. when other reactors see the positive feedback on this they're gonna jump the bandwagon. WHICH I DONT MIND I LOVE THIS SHOW! there is not enough Bebop reactions out there.
Gino Israel True
well said.
This is so true I dont know know who these hipsters are I've never even heard of this channel tbh but it was recommended for me because of cowboy bebop and It kinda pisses me off how these people dont appreciate this anime enough lol this is a OG anime my most favorite in fact!
... they JUST started it...
Gino Israel
Way better than that big 3 mediocre shit that everyone likes in the Anime community
Let's jam!
After all these years, Cowboy Bebop is still my all-time favorite anime. That's not just the nostalgia talking, either; it really is *that* good. I'm so glad you guys are finally reacting to it.
I am so excited that you guys are starting Cowboy Bebop. That intro song brings me back. BTW it's 26 episodes and a movie that takes place before the two-part series finale.
The main guy is Spike. His partner is Jet.
YES! This show has imho the best ever soundtrack and it corresponded perfectly with the show's animation. The intro theme ("Tank!") and ending theme ("Real Folk Blues") are truly iconic and still a couple of my all time favorites~ ☆♡☆
Wow Navi with a Detective Conan Reference at 3:28 you don't hear about that show much over here in the states even though it has as many episodes as Naruto,One Piece and other long running shows.
No0neAtAll I think because of the time it came out it was cancelled over here in the states just a year before the boom of the crime drama series I swear every channel I was tuning in had some sort of crime show they where showing off if it had held out a little longer it would have been hugely popular
Anthony Rangel it's still ongoing
Jj Mmm I know but I'm dyslexic subtitles jumble up for me so I can only watch dubs it's not a choice for me like this comment when I finish I have to run this though three different programs to make sure everything is right and have it proof read otherwise I'd never get it done I also have dysgraphia but that's something else
Even more impressive was the Lupin the Third mention. Surprised anyone from the Normie crew knew about that classic.
I really liked Detective Conan its a shame not a lot of people know about it
Couldn't be more excited for this. A mature, stylized, well told story.
What I love about this show is that each episode is its own story. It is sort of a bounty of the week thing, but for this show it works so well. There are some background plots that weave in and out of the show, but overall each episode is its own thing.
Bruh Asimov’s girl straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gotta love those Latinas lol
Soooo happy you guys are watching this. My favorite anime (and one of my favorite shows in general) even after 20 years.
One of the few anime where the English dub was considered superior to the Japanese one.
gpage I have never watched it in Japanese
You are so right. In the mid to late 90's and some early 2000s there was a handful of really good dubs.
This and Yu Yu Hakasho
gpage I agree. Both Cowboy Bebop and Trigun had an amazing English dub.
Holy fuck I need to rewatch Trigun
I always like that intro as a kid. Takes me back.
This is my favorite anime of all time since I was 16 and now that I'm 24 I still come away with different messages every time I watch this series, which I watch at least once a year in its entirety. It's just amazing how well this show has held up and impacted me.
bebop is also a form of jazz (fast jazz)
One word.... "Yessssssssssss"
Great pick!
This show is a hodge-podge of references, homages and remixing of various old and new age media. It incorporates a lot of its lore and world building into the background. The show mostly just focuses on the main crew and their adventures. But it is really interesting to take note of the little things in each episode that help flesh out the world.
Session #1: Asteroid Blues has a Blues musical aesthetic and takes place largely on an Asteroid colony called Tijuana. You'll see in the show that even though humanity has colonized the solar system, people still tend to congregate with others that share their cultural background.
This place is home to a Native American shamanistic fellow that Spike visits for advice in the beginning. This helps build the cowboy western aesthetic the show likes to use. There are also various Mexican influences. First and most obvious is the name of Tijuana. Spike also wears a Poncho and Sombrero when he ambushes Asimov and no one finds him out of place. But the biggest reason there is a Mexican theme to this episode? The episode is a tribute to the film "Desperado". At the same time we make these references to past in a sci-fi futuristic show, we also make heavy use of Blues music which is anachronistic, but fits so well. The whole show likes to juxtapose the old with the new.
Addressing the sci-fi portion of the show, you all noticed the space colony wrapping along up the sides of the cylinder probably a method to artificially create gravity via rotation. It isn't that later sci-fi shows copied this design from Cowboy Bebop. It is that Cowboy Bebop incorporated the common sci-fi ideas into their space western. Science fiction writers had been dreaming up cylindrical space habitats for years. And in fact one prominent science fiction author, Issac Asimov, was paid homage by naming the antagonist Asimov.
There are plenty of other references and homages you could point out in regards to the crew, but it isn't so obvious having not yet learned too much about them. I'll leave that up to future discovery as you continue to watch the show.
This is, in my opinion, the second best anime ever made. It's an absolute masterpiece! The characters, the art style, the worldbuilding, the stories, the MUSIC! It's virtually a flawless series by one of the best directors in the medium and with a soundtrack by the best composer in anime. I really look forward to the rest of these, I just started my own rewatch of the series (just finished episode 11!), so this couldn't have come at a better time.
I can't wait for the episode 5 reaction!
See you, space cowboys...
Come on don't hold out - what is the BEST anime ever made?
^ yeah don't leave us hanging
its sword art online
Trolls already hehe.
It's either Code Geass, FMA Brotherhood, or Death Note. I'll throw a Neon Genesis Evangelion in there just in case. Which is it?
Omg i have been hoping to see you guys react to this for soooooo long now, glad you managed to get around to it, you will definitely not be disappointed.
I jumped for joy when I saw you guys were doing reactions on this show! I typically do not like anime but this is my favorite. Can't wait for more reactions!
You guys, this is incredible. I'm looking forward to your reactions. Thank you!
I'm so happy you guys are doing reactions to this! !! Greatest anime of all time
you guys are really REALLY going to love this show
So happy to see y'all reacting to this! I believe the creator of Firefly has actually stated that Cowboy Bebop was an influence.
OMFG I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW... this in my feed just made my day
I'm just so happy they're finally watching this.
[cries tears of joy]
I came home after a long day to this. What an extremely pleasant surprise!
My heart damn near burst through my chest when this showed up, I'm so hyped for this!!!!
I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this!!!
Yoooooo. I've been wanting people to react to this series. And the cylindrical world is called an O'Neill Cylinder, and the concept dates back to 1976. And that world was the Earth, they were in Tijuana. I'm guessing they manipulated gravity to form something like an O'Neill Cylinder, but it's just like a floating platform.
zeuanimals they weren't on earth. TJ in this world is an astroid.
Only 1976? I thought it'd be older. Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979 is full of them.
Thank you so much! You guys are in for a hell of a ride
Every time I hear the theme song ("Tank" by The Seatbelts btw) I start going nuts with my head movements! Love this series so much!
Spike is a former gangster with a masterful sense of cool. Jet is a former cop. Their crew does get a bit larger as the series progresses, but Im not gonna spoil who they are yet! Also yes, their main ship is called the Bebop, and they also have individual ships they pilot hangared inside: I think Jet's pinkish ship is called the Swordfish, and Jet i forgot his ship's name. It takes place in the future where space travel is possible, but it's all populate by humans, no crazy aliens, just us and a lot of earth animals colonizing the planets. Earth got trashed by a meteor shower, so it's kind of a waste of a planet now, even though there are some who still live there. But the space stations, locations and places they visit are very distinct. And the stories and atmosphere definitely stay with you long after you watch them, same as the characters.
Cowboy Bebops is a very special experience that I hope you guys are going to enjoy as much as we do.
Oh, and by the way: put the soundtrack on repeat if you're out for a long drive somewhere. It's THAT good!
Ooh baby here we go :)
YES!!!!!! Like you all were saying when you were young and you had your tv schedule for me this was it. A truly incredible, beautiful and tragic show! thank you for the reaction.
wtf are you kidding me this is amazing best news i've seen all week. I'm SO EXCITED!!!! XD Cowboy Bebop is a CLASSIC, i'm sooooo happy you're reacting to it! I can guarantee that all of you are going to have a GREAT time. XD Also the OST is one of the BEST OSTs EVER.
dammit i need the full length reaction to this.
Omggggg I've been waiting for fucking ever for you guys to watch this 😭
Woa Thank you Thank you for start watching Cowboy Bebop! Its one of THE BEST and my gold classic! I really going to enjoy your reactions on this one!!! There are not only violent and sad ones, but really good comedy episodes :D
P.S. If you come across Trigun afterward that would be awesome!
3, 2, 1, let's jam! Been a long time since I've seen Bebop, gonna be good to see you guys go through it!
In my Top3 best anime serie. I will enjoy watching you getting immersed into its universe, glad you're reacting to it.
もう、20年くらい前になるのか。
今見てもクオリティの高い、日本が誇るアニメーションだと思う。
世界でも、楽しめるんですね。嬉しいです。
Really excited to see this in your lineup. Spike Spiegel is one of my favorite anime protaganists
Yessssssssss! This is literally the recommended standard for anime!!
YT suggested this to me and I'm glad it did. Looking forward to seeing you guys watch more.
This is THE anime.
Hello Space Cowboys!!!
Cowboy Bebop is like Yona o the dawn with their opening. There’s not much anime nowadays when it just instruments, though their still really good too. I love cowboy bebop’s opening
You're gonna carry that weight.
If its Rana then yes :)
Finally! The Bruce Lee of Anime with a Gun. So excited for your reactions.
FINALLY!! been waiting for this. this is my childhood. NOSTALGIA
I thinks it’s so cool that you guys are watching this. I literally just started watch it myself about 3 weeks ago. I’m only on episode 4 so we can watch it together
Oh man I’m gonna have to rewatch this now. It’s the best
FYI, There are after credits, glad you’re reacting to this amazing show 💯
The world you were talking about that was in this and interstellar is a scifi concept dating back to the 70s.
The soundtrack for this show is both extensive and absolutely legendary. Yoko Kanno is superhuman.
Watching you guys right here, Its like watching an Anime baptism.
"Nice ride." I don't think I've ever seen a bigger understatement.
Guys I thought you were one of the best reactors out there but with series you are on another lever, keep it up for a 1000 more reactions like this!!
Hell yeah. Bebop is just too cool. 😎 👍
Cowboy Bebop was produced by Sunrise and aired from April to June 1998, with some of the series' 26 episodes. In September 2001, a theatrical version, Cowboy Bebop: Door to Heaven, was released. It won the TV award at the 3rd Kobe Animation Festival in November 1998, and the Nebula Award in the Media category at the Japan Science Fiction Convention in 2000.
Set in the solar system centered on Mars in 2071, this space western anime follows the adventures of bounty hunter Spike Spiegel and his crew as they travel aboard the dilapidated spaceship, the Bebop. It features stylish dialogue, cool visuals, and thrilling mecha and gun action. The main story has a hard-boiled touch, but the style varies depending on the episode, with a wide range including suspense, horror, slapstick comedy, and cyberpunk. As the title "Bebop" suggests, the series uses a variety of music genres, including jazz, blues, rock, and techno, and this, combined with its unique worldview, creates a unique style that was not seen in existing science fiction works.
Director Shinichiro Watanabe said, "I made this by putting in everything I had wanted to do up until then but couldn't," and "I thought I was making a 20-minute movie each time." When it was first broadcast, many people said it was similar to "Lupin the Third," but according to Watanabe, it is more similar to the TV drama "Detective Story," starring Yusaku Matsuda, which was popular in Japan in the 1970s (including the narration for the next episode preview).
Another feature of this work is that the racial characteristics of the characters are well reflected in the design of the world setting. According to character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, this was because director Watanabe gave permission.
The production was handled by Sunrise Studio 2. The core staff was made up of people from the network of Watanabe and producer Masahiko Minami, who had previously been involved in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Macross Plus, and Escaflowne. After the TV series was produced, Minami and his team left Sunrise to found Bones, which produced the film.
Sunrise is originally a studio that produces many original robot animes with the intention of commercializing toys, but the idea for this work also came from an offer from Bandai Hobby Division, who saw a spaceship boom coming with the resurgence in popularity following the release of the new Star Wars trilogy, to make an anime that could be developed into spaceship plastic models. When Minami asked Watanabe if he had any ideas, he was inspired by the work of American bounty hunters and immediately came up with an idea for a stateless action movie set in space in the near future. The concept was "space jazz" rather than space opera, and the project title was "Shooting Star Bebop!" .
However, the unique style of the work was met with a negative response from those around, and it was almost lumped together with another project that Sunrise was working on at the same time. The sponsor almost dropped the project, saying, "This won't sell spaceships," but with the cooperation of Bandai Visual, the show was able to be aired. The record company releasing the soundtrack opposed the idea, saying, "How many jazz records do you think sell in Japan?" (Music director Yoko Kanno also said that she initially thought, "Jazz will never sell"), and those involved who watched the first episode before it aired commented, "It's too dull. It won't sell."
With no prospect of royalty income from the toys, a detailed plan was devised to recoup the investment through music CDs and video packages. As a result, the software was a hit, and Sunrise stated that this work "achieved sales of videos and music CDs comparable to those of the Gundam series." According to producer Minami, the production costs were so high that the president of Sunrise said to him, "Minami, are you trying to ruin the company!?"
The opening and ending songs and background music in the film were all composed by Yoko Kanno, with the exception of a few, and performed by The Seatbelts, a group that included Kanno and other musicians from Japan and abroad. In addition to the ending song, vocal songs were used extensively.
The first soundtrack won the Animation Album of the Year award at the 13th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
The theme song, Tank!, was used in the short program of Canadian male single skater Kevin Reynolds at the 2016 Canadian Figure Skating Championships (with costumes by Spike Spiegel).
The terrestrial broadcast version was subject to self-censorship, and violent and sexual content, as well as flashing lights, were revised or cut. This was due to the fact that between the start of production and the broadcast, there were violent crimes committed by minors, such as the Kobe serial child murders and the Tochigi female teacher stabbing incident, and TV Tokyo's regulations were strengthened due to the "Pokémon Shock." The final episode, a compilation titled "Yoseatsume Blues -
A Collection Blues," is a protest against these restrictions and cuts in the form of monologues by the main characters, and unlike regular compilations, it makes almost no reference to the story itself. The ending concludes with the provocative message, "THIS IS NOT THE END. YOU WILL SEE THE REAL "COWBOY BEBOP" SOMEDAY!" This episode has been excluded from subsequent rebroadcasts and has not been included on video software such as DVDs.
In the United States, the series was first released on video and DVD, and was broadcast nationwide (TV-14: ages 14 and over only) on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim slot from September 1, 2001, where it gained popularity. However, the depictions of fake blood and naked women were edited out for this broadcast, and episodes 6 (as they were reminiscent of the Columbine High School shooting), 8 (hijacking), and 22 (building bombing) were not broadcast on the first episode due to broadcasting codes and the influence of the September 11 terrorist attacks (though they were aired in a rerun immediately after).
The evolution of the theme songs is as follows 😌
Opening theme "Tank!"
Composed by Yoko Kanno / Performed by The Seatbelts (THE SEATBELTS)
Ending theme "THE REAL FOLK BLUES"
Lyrics by Yuho Iwasato / Composed and arranged by Yoko Kanno / Sung by Mai Yamane

...Sorry for the long message 😅
You mentioned Detective Conan and you hit me right in the nostalgia feels... I remember growing up and my dad wouldn't let me stay up late enough to watch it, so I'd record episodes on VHS tapes. Still have pretty much every episode of the series!
You guys are going to love this series.
The theme is my ringtone I love it so much. And you get a bonus film too with this show!
teh musical style used by Yoko kono and the Seatbelts is a form of jazz called ( wait for it ) Bebop.. remind me of the music the local shriners circus would play before circuises became taboo.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO FINALLY SEE THIS CLASSIC.
Ohhhhh
Just stumble upon this and already I can't wait for their reaction to session 5!
The GOAT.Love that you've gotten around to it.
My God...none of you have seen this? I’m super excited for everyone.
"If you liked fire fly"
"Halo like rings"
Maybe those things drew inspiration from somewhere? ;)
Oh shit! A classic! Among the best of the best
For those interested in the sexphone song that plays towards the end of the episode, it's called Road to the West.
Loved the black dress, looking H-O-T. btw the part before the intro theme is a hint at the ending of the series
Regarding the big space station/habitat thing: that design is generally referred to as an O'Neill cylinder. It's a concept proposed in the 70's by a physicist called Gerard K. O'Neill (hence the name) for an entirely self sufficient space based colony that mimics an enclosed earth-like environment.
It's cropped up in a number of sci-fi properties over the years; mostly literature, but some visual media too. The most prominent are probably this show, Babylon 5, Mass Effect, Elysium, Interstellar and more recently, The Expanse.
So I'd say the odds that this show directly influenced Interstellar are rather slim. ;)
I kinda wish others were here to witness such Greatness.......
But Thank You So Much for doing Bebop..
It's extremely strange how no reaction channels ever did Bebop until now being that it's in the argument for best anime of all time (which I think it is). You all are going to cash in hard, and other channels are going to follow now just like they all did with Attack on Titan.
Can't wait for the last two episode reactions.
Man, this brings me back. I remember when I first watched this on adult swim back in early 2000s I skipped the last episode because I didn't want it to end yet. This show is so good, The movie worth checking out also even though it does just feel like an extended session
90s anime i was a kid when i watched cowboy bebop this brings back memories 👍
Normies Watching Bebop now?! Best Channel EVER!
HOLY SHIT! Cowboy Bebop? I love u guys
Probably been answered but it's Spike Spiegel and Jet Black. The big ship is Bebop. I won't reveal the other characters till you watch those.
Ooohhhh boy! This is gunna be fun!
one of my favorite openings from a 90s anime ever, you guys definitely have to watch the movie after finishing this series
Oh you guys are now HOOKED! yes one of the best animes ever .. the entire package is beautifully produced . def in the top 5 still :)
Even as a kid this show was my favourite anime of all time. Literally everything about it is perfect! This and DBZ was my childhood anime lineup lol
