Series and Movie Review: Cowboy Bebop



Pick up the series before the movie. This science fiction anime classic unfolds as a future where we've colonized the outer planets and fly among them. Though society has some bad guys and bounty hunters like Spike Spiegel, and Jet Black hunt down the rabble for money. They call their ship, Bebop, of course.

Through the series they add Faye Valentine, Edward the hacker and Ein the data dog to their crow. Though they don't' know the dog is a data dog and probably the smartest member of the crew.

I like all the space ships and explosions. I like the angled artwork and the worlds full of color and exciting sounds. Maybe even the flaws add to the charm. Most of them are typical anime problem of the occasional confusion with a plot point. I sat raptured.

We picked up the first twi DVD's from Coos Bay and the Movie from North Bend.
