@Shunnimi: raven is so smart of course.
First, I put a hundred thousand milliards of people down so that Spike would be killed or at least wounded,
and then!! when Spike got to him, he was like,
let's fight (on equal terms, damn, yeah)

Yes, as many of these happy endings as possible, now everyone is afraid, but for 2001 this is a very serious step, and nevertheless logical for the completion of the story.

Fame. The unbending and unflinching love of otaku for a cowboy made my hearing and eye constantly stumble upon this title, which resulted in the viewing.
These are real adventures, the whole plot is imposed on them, without having a whole plot, the series has many exciting stories leading to it. The whole point of the series is its uniqueness – to make a noir in space! Create a science fiction-based story about cowboys, mafia and thieves! It's curious and I haven't seen it anywhere else. But, the main plus of the whole series for me is the music! Jazz/blues is the opium of my ears, and to endure it throughout the series is worth a lot!
But because of these "completeness of the series", the series was hard to go on in a row, it needs to be broken into arches and stretched viewing.
As for the movie, it's certainly meaningless without the series, but I liked it more than that. Firstly, the global increase in the quality of graphics, and secondly, the whole plot of exciting adventures in one piece. The film is endowed with many meaningful and memorable moments, for which you want to review and revise. Full of wine =Z

I finally finished watching the Cowboy. It's very hard to think about what will happen to Faye and Jet, how Ed is doing there, whether they will ever meet again. Subconsciously, you always want to believe that the characters are doing well, that they continue to explore space and look for adventures. But sometimes you need to realize that there are no fairy tales, and that all good things come to an end sooner or later.
A strong ending, and these are the ones that are remembered for a long time.
Beautiful anime.

Great anime! A lively picture, impeccable sound, interesting characters, a thoughtful plot and, of course, great music. It is this style of storytelling that makes you love everything you see on the screen. This ship, which seems to have become a home, the characters who are already relatives and this wonderful blues, without which it already becomes somehow cosmically lonely.

All the characters are very bright and with deeply written characters. It's a pleasure to watch their lives!

Each of the series has its own philosophy, with its own individual style of storytelling and a portion of jokes. Each of them is a separate little story from the life of the crew, forming a big picture and presenting us with a boundless, bright, lively, truthful and rich world from which it is impossible to break away!

The latest episodes are designed in the best traditions of John Woo's action movies: a fearless and charismatic hero in a raincoat with two pistols in his hands, a sea of blood, and of course, white pigeons (the director's business card). The already excellent atmosphere is complemented by an awesome soundtrack (however, the sound of the entire series is excellent)

Thanks for the glass 🙂

Soundtracks, style, stories. This title is something that you want to watch on a rainy autumn evening, inhaling the smell of coffee, or maybe something stronger.

I guess I missed the backstories of the main characters a little bit. But even without them, the message is quite clear. The past. Does it give you something? Is it possible to erase him from your life? Or will it surely overtake you again? Is it possible to continue living with its weight? Etc.

I think the ending is good. It was unlikely that Spike could accept and forget what had happened. But, of course, the issue is very controversial.

@wildbr00ther: From Watanabe's anime filmography (directed by Bebop), take a walk. At least Samurai Champloo is worth a try, although the music is completely different there. Even Darker than black, Baccano, Ergo Proxy with interesting plots and without most of the stamps of the genre

Anime that has already become a classic - here I am in the ranks of those who watched it! It was an exciting space adventure, a whole anthology with various mini-stories and such a sad ending🤧😔

Characters, music, classical drawing — everything here is on the same level, designed in the same style. The characters have already become relatives or something, which is only worth a corgi dog.🧡

Thank you and see you later, space cowboy... 🥺💔✨✨

Spike was very impressed with the whole series and it was painful to lose him... The riddle about the different eyes turned out to be very strong. Faye's open concern for him is what I've been waiting for faithfully. It's good that she spoke at least goodbye, and that at least her past really turned out to be overboard. When Ed left with the dog, it was like some piece of me was torn off, but she was always on her own. I'm not worried about Jet, he's already been through a lot and I think his story will continue in the same spirit. And yes, because of such a sad ending, this cosmic rich borscht from different cultures will stay with me. Very much, very painful. Special thanks to this masterpiece for the blues, for the magnificent Japanese ending performed by Mai Yamane, which I have been listening to for many, many years. Well... See You Space Cowboy.

An interesting thought is that historically cowboys drove cattle and if the herd breaks up or dies, then there is no reason for a cowboy to exist.

Well, that's why it hurts so much... I watched it with a heavy heart, still, although I expected such a finale, deep down I hoped that Spike would stay alive. Although when Julia died, it became clear that he would not spare himself. Saying goodbye to my friends broke my heart.
It's a pity that this anime has only 1 season, I think there's too much left unsaid. I don't want to part with my favorite characters.
Amazing anime♥

On first viewing, the finale was stunning. And now it seems the only true way to complete the path of both Spike and Bebop...

When reviewing the series, I paid more attention to Spike's actions in different situations in previous episodes - and there were bells that made it clear that there could only be one outcome for him.

I disagree with those who compare Bebop to a Firefly and send fans of one show to watch the second. They have zero in common =\

Firefly is about the characters and their interaction, about how a squad of random random people slowly turns first into friends, and then actually into a family. The stories are just a backdrop for their bickering and chemistry between them.

And Bebop, first of all, is not so much a western as an outright noir. And secondly, he focuses either on the stories within the series, in which the main characters only shine, or on their specific individual plot stories, in which the rest of the crew members practically do not participate in any way. The characters develop individually within themselves, and their inter-communal development as companions is minimal. It's no joke, the same Ain, who is almost the mascot of the series, more or less actively participates in only three or four episodes (out of 26!).

That's why I love Firefly, they didn't give me enough in Bebop, and in principle they couldn't give me, because the series is generally about something else. And he's good too, but he's good in a different way, in his own way. Something like that.

@Hierarch: You've got it right. Bebop is more of a story about how people, even traveling on the same ship, saving each other's lives, do NOT become a family. Anyway, for everyone, things remain more important than the team and in the end they go their own way.
This is in some ways a more vital story, people meet, change each other and break up

I wanted to write something about how Jet and Spike were moving in opposite directions, but yes, g-d with him, all these arches and internal ascents from point A to point B are dust. I was reviewing and remembered: the scene is completely clogged, because it is followed by the final dialogue between Spike and Faye, but before that Spike comes to Jet and wakes him up. So, given the previous events, the whole scene looks so surreal that it is impossible to understand if it is real or if Jet is dreaming. Moreover, this is a deliberately forced effect, taking into account all that has been said, and most importantly because the scene opens with an awakening or "awakening". And yes, the subsequent drama scores, but the scene at the time of viewing is very creepy and not good.

I didn't have enough context for Spike's drama, 30-second memories of Julia couldn't evoke any empathy. a lot of pathos, little plot. perhaps there is more information in the manga so that it all turns into a complete picture

After watching it, it becomes obvious why this title is recognized as a cult.

It was shot perfectly, the general atmosphere gives away the time of the creation of the series — the topics are sometimes not very politically correct, and in general, a typical vibe from the free 90s often flashes.

It is difficult to describe what is happening without spoilers. Most of the series flies by like a light spaghetti western in a cosmic setting - the criminals are caricatured, and the shootings are not scary. When it comes to the past of the main characters, the noir tones appear. However, if you look closely, then everything, even frivolous episodes take place in a decaying Solar system.

The picture is beautiful and detailed. There are many different types of music, it is perfectly selected and plays an important role in managing the atmosphere and mood.

Towards the end, it becomes clear that the upbeat atmosphere and the little-connected arches only led to a serious and realistic ending.

Cowboy Bebop is a story about how not to run away from problems, but sooner or later you will have to meet them. Spike has made up his mind, but humanity as a whole has yet to do so.

The schizo for the substitution of music at the end is a fat minus.

Oh no, I have to feel something from the death of characters who have been on screen for less time than a couple of cowboys from a bounty hunting order commercial! It would have been better if this series had not had a "plot" ending, and it would have been unfairly cut short, not allowing the inarticulate line with the bad guy to finish – for the cult character of the series, a sudden closure would only be good.

Cool, atmospheric, musically cinematic. The syndicate branch is a bit off topic. It was necessary either to add more of them in order to understand and understand the essence, or to remove them altogether.
Anime leaves behind a certain burden and sadness with a slight smile.

The battle is over,
The cowboy is gone,
The stars went out in a crowd.

Ships are storming space,
And somewhere a girl is far away,
He runs after Bebop...

What can be summed up?

Thanks for the non-happy ending. This added charm to the ending, and did not allow the harmony of the entire anime to crumble to dust. This is probably a logical, if not entirely fair end.

But once again, the main plot line should have been stretched much more noticeably. And then for 26 episodes - 3 or 4 episodes, where Raven, Julia, and the Syndicate were shown - this is frankly not enough. But they dragged me in with the ending.

How gorgeous is the anime. I've never regretted watching it!

A beautiful and sad ending. But in fact, the final came out open. Therefore, there is hope in me that Spike is still alive. The phrase "You're gonna carry that weight" suggests this idea. And in the last episodes in the clip, it seems like Spike is ready to say goodbye to the past. I also didn't feel any chemistry at all with Julia, but with Faye, it was like he was starting to live anew.

In any case, a great story, great characters, great picture and music. Definitely in the top!

The opening is very high quality. After completing this anime, I didn't feel anything at first. But after half an hour or an hour, I began to feel some kind of emptiness in myself that I hadn't noticed before. The work, which becomes a new genre itseld will be called ... "Cowboy BeBop". Maybe it's time for my job to become a bebop cowboy...

I will express an unpopular opinion - I did not understand the cult at all, it did not go far. It seems that sometimes something is funny somewhere, the music is good. The style is there.
But the plot, some stories. It doesn't catch at all.
Maybe in due time, maybe under some mood, xs.

Faye is hot, consistently pleasing to the eye the whole series :3
