Cowboy Bebop Appreciation Thread

[slickwataris]

Cowboy Bebop has officially sold 1 million units in North America (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/pressrelease.php?id=1214) :thumbsup:

And how are they celebrating? Starting September 13 Bandai Entertainment will be releasing the "REMIX" dvd's with remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround soundtrack, interviews, commentaries, and much more.

i've only seen like two episodes of this show ever, but all I can say so far is that it has the greatest anime theme song of all time.


after Big O, that is ;)

[YourMusicSucks]

I saw like 5 when I was younger, and the movie.

Love that shit.

[The_Crowing]

Watch the 'mushroom' episode. Its definately the best episode of Cowboy Bebop ever.

is that show supposed to be kind of random? like i watched episode 1, and then 2, and there was really nothing in common..like no continuation of the plot introduced in the first episode

Like most animes, the first couple episodes dont make sense but they get more in common as the series goes.

[odnetnin]

I totally dig the soundtrack.

[Vincewithouthee]

It's a mature show. That's why it's on Adult Swim, duh. Anyway, one of the only animes I like. Really great show. I've seen every episode so many times.

The only animes I like are:
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Outlaw Star (they need to show this again)
Fullmetal Alchemist

I randomly get Tank! stuck in my head every few weeks. Then people stare.

"Mushroom Samba" is hilarious. My other favorite episode is "Balled of the Fallen Angels."

[[Brendan]]

I saw like the first 14 eps back in the day, when you could get an ep of cowboy bebop, trigun and naruto in 30 mins off Kazaa Lite. It's very good.

[Crocodile Logic]

Samurai Champloo is awesome, but i can't really get into Cowboy Bebop.

[FrancesTheMute]

i sat through an episode of this a little while ago.......




needless to say i would rather eat a bowl of thumbtacks than ever put myself through that again.

[slickwataris]

Now that I remember the first episode was actually added later on in the series in Japan. Or so the commentary says.

I totally dig the soundtrack.
Yoko Kanno's a very talented musician.

[monicker]

i appreciate this very much.

i love how anime in general usually have quality soundtracks...ever watch FLCL or know of the pillows? that anime has an awesome soundtrack as well

[Carlo Marx]

Samurai Champloo is awesome, but i can't really get into Cowboy Bebop.
just the opposite for me. i love bebop, but i cant get into champloo. i didn't like wolf's reign either.

Also sweet news: Adult Swim will be playing neon genesis Evangelion. anyone know exactly when that's starting? all the commercials ever say is "coming soon". definitely my favorite anime of all time.

Is it true that they're going to make another Outlaw Star series?? i could've sworn i read that somewhere...

[slickwataris]

I've been trying to get everyone on this website to listen to the pillows for the past year but no one listens to my rants. I'm going to have to step up the campaign.

Neon Genesis Evangelion will begin airing Thursdays, starting Thursday, October 20, at 12:30 a.m.

I've only seen the first 10 episodes so I'm excited to see the rest.

thank you much man. evangelion is one of the sickest animes ever written. the storyline is aburdly intrigueing. plus i happen to find anything dealing with mysticism very interesting.

hopefully they'll be airing the movie end of eva instead of the last two episodes. that movie is FUCKED UP! simply brilliant.

[A picasso blue]

i feel like i must be crazy or something. out of all anime "genres" the only ones i can't stand are giant robot shows :(


so..as i said before, has anyone here heard about an Outlaw Star 2 show?? i think i read that somewhere

oh and i dunno too much about J-pop but i do love Arc d'Ciel

Lol you are way off on the name of that band, its L'arc en Ciel. Oh yea, and the rumors about Outlaw Star 2 have been around for a couple of years.

Yeah, my friend keeps telling me about it then I have to tell him to shut up because I haven't seen it yet. I just checked out the 8th volume of the manga while I was at the library today. It should be quite perplexing.

Rumors are rumors. Most aren't true or take forever to happen. Personally I can't wait for that Hollywood version of Akira.

hollywood version..?

[marrost]

I read that they were going to remix some of the episodes on the new dvds. I don't know if this means change up the animation or add scenes or what. Anyone know anything about this?

[The_Crowing]

When they said remix I think it means the sound quality, like a Dolby 5.1 version of the series.

No I actually read about them messing with some of the episodes...

I attached the press release link on the first post. It just says Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. I imagine they would touch up the animation and any other thing that needed work on.

And remember the movie's on [adult swim] on Saturday!!!

dude, that animation was flawless. what would they need to touch up?

[slickwataris]

Animation cells wear out over time. If they don't touch up the master version it would look like crap.

[slickwataris]

So what did you guys think of the Cowboy Bebop movie last night? http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/slickwataris/spikeRSY.gif


It was smoking

[de la sympathie]

just the opposite for me. i love bebop, but i cant get into champloo. i didn't like wolf's reign either.

Also sweet news: Adult Swim will be playing neon genesis Evangelion. anyone know exactly when that's starting? all the commercials ever say is "coming soon". definitely my favorite anime of all time.
Eva... one of the most brilliant and most confusing shows of all time. Gotta love it.

Have you seen the Evangelion movie (the End of Evangelion) yet? Damn, that was amazing.

[slickwataris]

[[Brendan]]

One of the best anime's ever.

[llwilliamsll]

Bumping as I just started the series. Really dug the first episode and will be slowly going through the whole series.

I believe I'll begin Samurai Champloo afterwards.

[deanster321]

Cowboy Bebop is awesome. So is Samurai Champloo based on the couple of episodes I've seen.

[I'mOnAHorse]

[llwilliamsll]

What's it called? Wasn't aware there was a movie. Will definitely check it out.

[I'mOnAHorse]

What's it called? Wasn't aware there was a movie. Will definitely check it out.Cowboy Bebop: The Movie or Cowboy Bebop the Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door

[PunkInfluence09]

Bebop is easily one of the best all times.
