Customer Reviews of Cowboy Bebop - Session 1

While most of the episodes on Session 1 are filler episodes, or comedic in nature, the final episode on this DVD is amazing. Focusing on Spike's past, it presents some background on the Spike, while leavign some details a little ambiguous. I loved all of the characters that were familiar from his past, Julia, Vicious, and the lady at the drug store. There is mystery here, in admist the fabulously choreographed battle between Spike and Vicious. Not to mention that it maintains Bebop's standing as an a-typical series, this statement can't really be clarified here without giving away the outcome of the episode, but if you watch it, you'll understand.

Seriously, there's a good chance this'll be your new favorite anime, no matter what kind of anime you're generally into.

Rich, detailed, fascinating science fiction
Cowboy Bebop is the best anime TV series I have seen. The only unfortunate thing about it is its name, and that's only bad because it might put off potential viewers (actually, the blurb on the back cover is pretty bad, too). Cowboy Bebop sports terrific animation quality (including computer generated images which are much better integrated into the style of the cel animation than just about anything out there), interesting character designs, a great English dub, and terrific writing. Unlike most sci-fi TV or movies, Cowboy Bebop has a well thought-out world, where a fact learned in one episode is not blatantly contradicted in another. More importantly, Cowboy Bebop puts this world to use: out of the five episodes on this DVD, there are action episodes, comedic episodes, and a (rather action-packed) look at the past of main character, Spike.

I can think of only two reasons why someone would not like Cowboy Bebop: if you're unwilling to take animation seriously, this isn't the show for you, and if you demand a continuous plotline which runs throughout the show, Cowboy Bebop doesn't have that. Not that Cowboy Bebop is purely episodic; it is held together by the well-maintained world, where actions in past episodes have repercussions throughout, and by the pasts of the characters, which haunt them.

One last plug: Cowboy Bebop even has hilarious next episode previews after every episode. Watch them!
