Cowboy Bebop

Anime Review

Some cowboys ride horses, some cowboys ride electrical bulls, but Spike however drives spaceships and aircrafts when space travel becomes a common activity in the 21st century.



Spike Spiegel

Storyline:
Space travel has arrived in the 21st century. But even as humanity spreads out across the solar system, so too do the dregs of society: crooks, drug dealers, hackers, and terrorists who have turned the lawless frontier into their haven. Pursuing these outlaws is a new breed of "cowboys" - bounty hunters lured by the promise of quick fame and fortune.

Meet Spike Spiegel, jazz lover and Bruce Lee devotee. Together with his partner Jet Black and the motley crew of the spaceship Bebop - Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein the data-dog - they're the unlikeliest bounty hunters to roam the outer reaches of space, tracking down dangerous criminals and chasing the ever-elusive dream of getting rich...

Media:
Opening theme: Tank! - Seatbelts
Closing theme: The Real Folk Blues - Mai Yamane

My End Verdict:
This is somewhat akin to Black Cat where bounty hunters sweep the badies away for fast cash! However, Cowboy Bebop has a unique and distinctive features that creates a clear cut distinguish between Black Cat.

Rating: 4.1/5. Go watch =)
