Really? I've been meaning to get into that, love the style of the game. Is the music anything like the GG intro/Bebop?

The music is from the guy who did the music for Trigun and the GG game. Its really good.

If you watch it, skip the first episode. Its the same thing as like ep 18 or something. Its a turnoff from the rest of the series cause it makes ne sense at the start. Kinda like in Berserk.

The VHS espisode is still the best 30 min of animated Anime ever in my book.

Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime series as well...very complete even with the DVD set for the TV series, which is designed to look like vintage Blue-Note jazz records...very nice, classy touch that adds to the theme of the series =)

The rest of you do not.

God I love Cowboy Bebop. It's the only anime I really like, MAF pinned down why. It's so complete, even episodes that were off-beat that seemed filler were still small stories in their own respect. Cowboy Bebop was one of those shows that had solid everything. I even liked the voice overs. Still, the series and all 6 sessions began and wrapped up so cleanly that it makes me happy the creators managed to pull THAT ALONE off so well.

I especially agree with Session 6 comments. The episode with Ed had me really moved, along with how nicely The Real Folk Blues Pts. I & II played out. An all-around phenomenal show, with an equally delightful movie. In fact, the movie was on par with some of the best episodes of the show itself.

I did favor the darker episodes more, and anything that involved Spike's backstory. One of the other impressive components was Yoko Kanno's contributions to the series. Her music was so perfectly composed and it fit the mood like a glove. Not to say most of the chase/background music wasn't great, but notable tracks include:

Blue (End RFB2)
Call Me Call Me (End Hard Luck Woman)
Piano Black (Honky Tonk Woman)
Ganymede In Autumn (Intro of Ganymede: Boogie-Woogie Feng-Shui)
Space Lion (RFB1)
Memory (all over anythign with Julia)
Adieu
Wo Qui Non Coin (Faye and Ed returning to Bebop: Hard Luck Woman)
Walts For Zizi (Shit if I remember, this will drive me crazy now)
And Ave Maria (Concert: Ballad of The Fallen Angels) was done pretty well, I believe.

I own all the soundtracks ; D Working on the sessions!

For stuff from the actual show (no remixes):

Cowboy Bebop Original Soundtrack (VICL-60201)
Cowboy Bebop Mini OST Vitaminless (VICL-60248)
Cowboy Bebop OST 2 No Disc (VICL-60202)
Cowboy Bebop OST3 Blue (VICL-60203)
Cowboy Bebop Movie Mini OST Ask DNA (VICL-35297)
Cowboy Bebop Movie OST Future Blues (VIZL-54 <-- this oop special edition came with unreleased TV music)
Cowboy Bebop CD Box Set (VIZL-64)

Once you get all those, you should have all the music pertaining to the show. I do... but I'm a Kanno whore.

 

[J2 Cool]

I go to sleep to yoko kanno's stuff a lot of times. Put on Space Lion or Memory or Blue and I just drift away. They nailed so many moments in me with that music. Like I said, complete. The show ran on all cylinders to work to that type of success

 

[Mugen]

If I have money, I would BUY the soundtracks for it. Yes I do have the sountracks also in digital format but if I do get the chance to buy all of them, I really will.

And the anime, it's been said countless times, the series is PERFECT. There's really is nothing more to say really. Still the best anime ever IMO.

Space Lion (RFB1)

I think you mean End of Jupiter Jazz: Part 2. Just nitpicking.

Also your list is incomplete without Rain, played during the 'Chuch scene' in Session 5.

Oh how I wish I could watch that scene for the first time again, the music, the atmosphere.. Watanabe, Please expand the Bebop universe.

Was it Jupiter Jazz? I couldn't recall exactly, but yes I did forget "Rain". And if you're into nitpicking, it's more like episode 5, instead of the 5th session. Sessions are the DVDs containing the episodes, to my knowledge.

 

[Prine]

goddamit people, just make a list so i can buy the dvds

I LOVED Bebop, Berserk, Princess Nine (i think, baseball drama) and Escaflowne. The other anime series i've watched (including Fuli cooli, Evangelion, Loddoss Wars, Bubble Gum) all fucking sucked.

Is stand alone complex worth buying?
