jediduo Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I know that there are at least a couple of you here on the forums that enjoy the anime series "Cowboy Bebop". I received the final two DVDs for Christmas, and I finished the final episode tonight. (Yes, Artoo and Jatt13, you can borrow them. ) I was curious to see if anyone else has watched the whole series as well, and what their thoughts were. Heck, even if you've just watched a couple episodes, tell us what you thought. Spoilers are welcome, just give warning to those who don't want the ending spoiled.

Rogue Nine Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 The series is one of the most stylishly done I've ever seen and I've seen quite a bit of anime. The fact that the voice actor for Faye Valentine, one of my favorite characters, is Megumi Hayashibara, one of my all time favorite seiyuu and singers is a plus. Spike is the classic anti-hero with the level-headed Jet backing him up. Their interactions with each other were funny enough but add Faye into the mix and it gets downright giggly. Oh yeah, and Ein 0wnz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediduo Posted January 2, 2003 Author Share Posted January 2, 2003 The last DVD was the best. Anime doesn't normally catch me emotionally, but it did this time. spoiler... don't look now... Goodness. When Ed and Ein left, I was thunderstruck. That's just not supposed to happen, ya know? That reunion between Julia and Spike was intense, too.

Artoo Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 you can use the spoiler tags you know. Anyway, this is a really good series, because it's so... artsy. It has teh action, but it's not superficial, it has a deep storyline to it throughtout the series. Also the muzak kicks serious booty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TieDefender75 Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 That is one of my favorite anime series! Its so funny. I was pissed off when Spike and Vicious killed each other Vicious was my favorite character....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediduo Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 Man, I was ticked when Julia was killed. Spike spent 26 friggin' episodes trying to find the chick, and then she gets shot. It's just not fair, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashAndBurn Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Cowboy Bebob is one of my favorite serries out there. I havent had achance to watch the whole thing but out of what I have watched I love it! The serries has such style and grace...each episode flows so smoothly in and of itself and when taken in as part of the whole serries. The story, charachters, action and music each bring an element to this show and make it a true masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I just bought and watch the first volume on DVD, which contains the first five episodes... TEH AWESOMEST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatt13 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 yeah, i love cowboy bebop. thanx again, jediduo, for letting me borrow them. that really sucks, thought that that's all there is/ i want more! here's something i found ineresting and funny. it's not really a spoiler, but since it tells a little a/b the last episode: when jet goes to that old indian guy to find spike, it goes to an overhead view of his tepee/tent thing. if you look in the top, or the upper-right corner (or somewhere around there), you see something you wouldn't expect an old indian without electricity to have.. THE OLD GUY HAS A PLAYSTATION! wtf? i foung that pretty humorous when i saw it. i also find it funny that ein can hack faster than ed. oh, and what are these point things about? i haven't been on for a while since i've been busy, so i don't know. EDIT -- Ok, i just read the announcements, so i know a/b the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Ein, as seen in my newest avatar , is a data dog. And as such is capable of high-tech interactions...I think he is still a biological dog, but just had modifications, not sure. The episode he first appears in is a good one and it explains all about him. Oh, and I ordered the 6th session off of BestBuy.com & got it shipped right to me now if only they'd release the movie (yes, there is a movie...it's set between some of the episodes...I forget which) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatt13 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 yeah, i knew that a/b ein. but about the movie. have they already made it and shown it tv, or have they just not shown it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 the movie has been out in Japan, but they haven't shipped it over here yet...there's a big deal with the fans wanting the same voice actors, which I agree with...really just waiting on them to do/finish (not sure) the dubbing... oooo, found an article...not sure if it's acurate, though: Link will search for more info edit: Here is an up-to-date article..it does kinda give away what it's about Link so any who want to keep guessing about the story, it comes out in Ny & LA on April 4th, 2003 & expands to other cities after that...also, they got the original voice talents to do the movie (YAY!)

Sherack Nhar Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Meh, who cares about english voice actors... the guy playing Spike wasn't very good. I always watch my anime in japanese, with english subtitles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatt13 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 it looks pretty good, but it's rated R. that sucks. that means i won't be able to see it in theaters. also, my parents probably wouldn't let me see it if it comes out on video. the only thing that let me watch the dvd episodes was that they had no rating and i watched them when my parents weren't around. although... if you get it, jediduo, i can just borrow it from you and my parents won't need to know the rating! oh, and who's elaktra?

Sherack Nhar Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Umm as far as I know, Elektra is in Daredevil... this has hardly anything to do with Cowboy Bebop EDIT: My stupid self just read the article... I guess she's a new character. They can't top Faye Valentine, though ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I agree with you there, Sher...Faye is......ok let's take stock here...I'm 22 years old and drooling over an anime babe...wow, I'm a geek...AND DANG PROUD OF IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Cowboy Bebop doesn't hold a candle to, Anime wise, Slayers or Evangelion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashAndBurn Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I have to disagre with you there Clefo. I've never seen Slayers but based on what I've seen of Evangelion I'm going to say Cowboy Bebop is the better serries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediduo Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 Wait a minute.... If this movie is set in between episodes, whatever happened to Julia? I don't want no elektra! Oh, Jatt, I'm going to get on ebay and see if there is a DVD I can get from Japan. If so, I'll let you borrow it. Someone give me a basic synopsis of Evangelion and Slayers, please.

Sherack Nhar Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I haven't seen Slayers, but I'm convinced that Record of Lodoss War is superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I love the series. one of my favorite anime series out there. to bad it was so short. i think there were 26 episodes. and every one of them was fantastic. the movie Knocking on Heaven's Door for those who haven't seen it, try to get a hold of it. i guarantee you'll love it. its top notch.
