Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
It hurts my soul that I can buy the Blu-Ray of Samurai Champloo: The Complete Series for $23 brand new, but the dvd collection of Cowboy Bebop is well over $100.
I still remember the first time I watched this. I believe it was in 2002, and I was changing channels very late one night. The show that came on Adult Swim before Bebop had finished and ads were airing until time for Bebop. I thought I'd wait it out to see what was coming on next, and I'm very glad I did. The opening theme drew me in and despite being somewhat sleepy, I stayed awake to watch the whole episode. And that semi-sleepiness may have aided in my viewing because I was watching this episode.......

Favorite scene of the entire series. All that tension.

The popularity of this series is my only hope for an American release of that Blu-ray at less than $300. Make it so, Funimation.
Anyways, great show. I've seen it through twice, really enjoy it. Both the story episodes and the side-stories.

That country music song is probably the best country music song ever, and I hate the genre.

This trailer for CB was attached to several of my Gundam Wing VHS tapes as a kid, and I used to rewatch this thing over and over again.
Ughhhh. Yeah. I need this. Please let it happen.

My #1 favorite of all time. Couldn't tell you how many times I've watch it between my DVDs and it appearing on [adult swim] for the last... many years. Samurai Champloo and Kids on the Slope were also excellent works from Watanabe, but I don't think he'll ever top Cowboy Bebop.
It'll definitely get an American release eventually. Guaranteed. I just want it as soon as possible. Would be right on time for my next rewatch. I give the show another viewing every year or two and cannot wait to see it in fully restored glory. Bebop is a close to perfection as a show gets. I'd totally import if it didn't mean trying to get a Blu-Ray player of the right generation as well.
I don't think anyone will ever top this! With the amount of praise it gets you'd think it was overrated from an outsiders point of view. But nope. Deserves every inch of praise it gets!

Funny thing is that supposedly it's not very popular at all in Japan. It has much more appeal and critical acclaim in the west.
Man, this thread is getting me all nostalgic now.
I watched this show when I was in elementary school. It was a lesson in style for me, and it totally shaped my developing definition of "cool."
The 00's brought about a decade of sterile, Apple-Store-esque visions of the future. I loved Cowboy Bebop's (and by extension the 90's) vision of a functionally designed future not dominated by touch-screens and white, dust-resistant surfaces. It felt so alive and lived in and real.

Just take it with you.

My man, next to Ballad of Fallen Angels this is the best episode first time I felt Spike's life (other than Vicious) was in danger.

When was this?
Granted, the ending was left intentionally ambiguous, so I wanted to believe anyway...

Yup its an awesome episode. Rain <3
I loved Mushroom samba but Waltz For Venus and Brain Scratch are my faves!

So many good episodes, but Wild Horses might be my favorite. Just something about the way they revealed the space shuttle Columbia being the "old piece of junk" Doohan was working on, before they use it to save Spike.

Adieu is my favorite song related to this show, followed by Rush
The soundtrack is a bloody goldmine. It brings tears to my eyes! Adieu is one of my faves too! But dat Space lion! Manly tears are shed!

Yeah, they've been airing it on Anime Network over the last couple months.
"You sing off-key."
Yes, but Sentai Filmworks did it. That almost guarantees it'll be a hot mess.
