カウボーイ ビバップ (Cowboy Bebop)

Apr 3, 1998 to Apr 24, 1999

I know I don't have to review this anime, but I am going to anyway ha ha ha!!!!



Well....This anime is awesome. That is it. It is just awesome. Sunrise Studio's Cowboy Bebop is the best action-drama anime ever. There is no questioning that this anime is a definite MUST watch. For those who have not watched it, WATCH IT!

Story Overview
This story is about Spike (the cool guy), Faye (the fabulous and beautiful one), Jet (the genius detective), Ed (the weird and goofy yet genius one), and Welsh Corgi (super smart dog enough said) and their journey through the solar system as they are bounty hunting, which barely makes enough for a living. However, the story later on becomes more centered around the crew of Cowboy Bebop's past and how each of them deal with what they find... or don't.

Presentation- The presentation of this anime is superb. Sunrise Studio never lets anyone down with there art style. It really reflects what the writer is trying to convey and that always is an important part in the creation of an anime. You really get what you need from the art style of Cowboy Bebop and trying to explain this would be to difficult so I leave the interpretation to you the reader (That is how good this anime is that I can not easily interpret it).
Score 5/5

Story- Sunrise Studio's really hit the nail on the head with this anime. The storyline is not only good but it is great. This story is told in a very unique way and constantly makes you wonder and guess about what is going to happen. The story itself is very original and you really can not get any better than this anime story wise.
Score 5/5

Value- Well the anime was made in 1998 and I have recently watched this anime. It still feels new and relevant. The art style is fluid and clean despite it being hand drawn unlike many new anime. It is only 26 episodes long but trust me this anime will take you on a ride for those 26 episodes. This anime will last through ages and hopefully be an example for future anime.
Score 5/5

Overall Score 5/5

Director - Shinichiro Watanabe
