Cowboy Bebop Episodes 1, 2 and 3
Added 2025-01-07 23:41:57 +0000 UTCWTF👀🔥🎵💥🙋♂️🤜😎😱🎸
This has been a fantastic introduction to Cowboy Bebop, and here’s what stands out so far:
The opening theme is a classic. That big band energy and those bold horns are unforgettable!
The story feels fresh and different, unlike anything I’ve come across in anime.
The soundtrack is incredibly diverse, more so than any OST I’ve heard so far.
Other anime soundtracks are amazing in their own right, but they often stick to a specific tone or style. SO FAR Cowboy Bebop mixes it up in a way that constantly keeps me interested. Feels real nice on the ears, sheeeessssssssssssshhhhhhh🎵

2025-01-11 20:35:02 +0000 UTCOh btw since you like rivals so much. Spike’s VA, Steve Blum, is Wolverine. He plays him in almost every animated depiction of the character

2025-01-09 02:18:10 +0000 UTCDon't blame you for that. The world was so good. Was too short

2025-01-08 19:04:59 +0000 UTCOkay fair point. I think i just wanted more especially cause the world building was interesting but it was short.

2025-01-08 18:36:20 +0000 UTCTriguns pacing is b a d. It takes forever to go anywhere. Its really aged and feels it and sometimes things just dont go anywhere. I love old Trigun with all my heart but it drags along terribly. Im not totally all in for the new Trigun but it fixes so many issues with og.
Trowa
2025-01-08 18:34:57 +0000 UTCIt does finish, just a bit open ended, which I don't mind. Still great though.

2025-01-08 17:58:56 +0000 UTCSo sad that show ultimately just never finishes. Love it.
Trowa
2025-01-08 17:39:32 +0000 UTCI agree, main cast seems fine, but definitely prefer sub background characters over dub like in the first episode.
SKAOG
2025-01-08 17:34:25 +0000 UTCI haven't watched this show before, but was put off by the starting English dialogue. So I decided to check out the sub, and prefer it much more, especially since old Joseph Joestar's VA voices the Jet, and MC is voiced by another character that i like.
SKAOG
2025-01-08 17:33:08 +0000 UTCIt’s a raunchy comedy with boobs and sex appeal. Seem like DAD level to me
Avalon
2025-01-08 14:56:00 +0000 UTCIs there a reason space dandy wouldn't be able to replace this show on this tier?
Sprucefer
2025-01-08 14:40:40 +0000 UTCMain cast is consistently pretty great but a lot of the side characters can sound really silly throughout the show imo
Sprucefer
2025-01-08 14:39:03 +0000 UTCCowboy Bebop IS its music. It presents the cultural aspects and the world through its music. Every important moment has a sound and every world a musical landscape. The world of Bebop is so culturally diverse and expansive and each place and person will have an identity represented through music. I love Bebop a lot for ultimately being a rather somber show. To not ramble into spoilers i will say the really just human way these characters interact with not only each other but the world like its a character itself had always inspired me as a writer.

2025-01-08 14:28:03 +0000 UTCFirst Charlie Parker reference in anime coming from Cowboy BEBOP…. Must be a coincidence 🤷♂️

2025-01-08 07:18:37 +0000 UTCSpace Dandy is soooo good
Cswerve
2025-01-08 07:01:52 +0000 UTCTo me this was the inevitable reaction for this channel. A matter of when, not if. It's like your anime pilgrimage Tony.

2025-01-08 06:45:46 +0000 UTCThe Big Shot horn at the start has been my notification sound for years. SHUCKS HOWDY

2025-01-08 05:54:12 +0000 UTCWhy do you think so?
AsbestosDust
2025-01-08 05:41:45 +0000 UTCHaven't watched this show since I started watching anime well over a decade ago and god damn it is so nostalgic. While I'm of the unpopular opinion that Cowboy Bebop isn't this director's (Shinichirou Watanabe) best show, it's definitely still a super fun watch. And for anyone wondering, I wholeheartedly believe Space Dandy is by far the best Shinichirou Watanabe show, followed honestly probably by Kids on the Slope. Bebop is a close third though for sure.
peeps
2025-01-08 04:15:23 +0000 UTCI quite enjoyed Carole and Tuesday but it's definitely near the bottom of the list when it comes to Shinichirou Watanabe shows. Space Dandy on the other hand is one of my favorite shows of all time and as much as I love shows like Cowboy Bebop and Kids on the Slope (and all of his other shows honestly), Space Dandy is without a doubt my favorite Shinichirou Watanabe show and it's not even close. I would absolutely love to see Space Dandy on the D.A.D tier eventually.
peeps
2025-01-08 04:08:37 +0000 UTCIf you like this, I think you would like Black Lagoon.

2025-01-08 04:07:39 +0000 UTC1.- This Les Claypool is awesome as well, but he's not the one from Primus. 2.- Turtle = Water Tortoise = Land (Had to learn it when buying a pet for my son) Awesome video, mate! Already looking forward to the next episodes, AND the movie!
Unbeknownst Man
2025-01-08 04:07:36 +0000 UTCCowboy Bebop is a childhood favorite of mine, and hopefully someday you’ll check out other 90s seinen anime such as Neon Evangelion Genesis and Ghost in the Shell.

2025-01-08 03:10:55 +0000 UTCoof, just oof, so good, this used to be the DEFACTO #1 recommend when someone asked what should i watch if i want to get into anime, and you can see why, also everyone who pays attention knew that the soundtrack was hook line and sinker for tony
Red Menace
2025-01-08 03:09:20 +0000 UTCYoko Kanno is who was responsible for the music for this series. She also did the music for another great series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (GiTSAC). Highly recommend listening if you like her work.
DMV Makoto
2025-01-08 03:05:00 +0000 UTCAs good as the dub is, I like the sub a lot better. The dub sounds like a middle school stage play sometimes
Belac
2025-01-08 02:53:18 +0000 UTCCowboy Bebop kicks ass. Glad you're enjoying it Tony. This was one of my first ever anime
Isaac Noël
2025-01-08 02:51:19 +0000 UTCis he stopping konosuba
Red Menace
2025-01-08 02:40:49 +0000 UTCThe director for this series is the same director for Kids on the Slope. The jazz connection makes a lot of sense.
Jet Man
2025-01-08 02:36:17 +0000 UTCStill one of the greatest anime to ever be released in my opinion
Cameron Sunken
2025-01-08 02:35:13 +0000 UTCThere are two other anime by this creator in this universe. A hilarious comedy called Space Dandy which should 100% be on the replacement poll for Konosuba, and a very (imo) meh slice of life story about two Martian girls doing American idol basically. The music is over produced and the show is melodrama so I can’t recommend it, but Space Dandy 10000%
Avalon
2025-01-08 02:13:23 +0000 UTCSomething about that old school, hand drawn, mecha/sci fi vibe always hits me hard. Cowboy Bebop was one of the first things that truly made me fall in love with anime when I was in high school back in 01. "Real Folk Blues" is one of those songs that just brings nothing but nostalgia and emotion anytime I hear it. Going to be a fun, fun ride.
Clayton Odom
2025-01-08 01:27:01 +0000 UTCOf course it doesn't have a super deep mind bending plot, but who cares, its stylish Sci fi fun and a feast for the eyes and (especially) ears
JoeyGuy7
2025-01-08 01:20:24 +0000 UTCYea I've been coming across as a boomer, I actually like a ton of modern shows, I think we are actually in kind of a golden age, especially compared to the 2010s

Jet Man
2025-01-08 01:18:47 +0000 UTCI love Trigun (1998) dearly but there is absolutely no way he's going to like that. I don't even know if he can stomach Badlands Rumble. Trigun 2023 tho. Controversial
Fuji Nami
2025-01-08 01:09:51 +0000 UTCCowboy Bebop is really consistent all the way through, I can only think of maybe one or two episodes that I didn't like but the music and the visuals never failed
Hermit
2025-01-08 01:07:40 +0000 UTCRight overlord is cooked
makotheQ60
2025-01-08 01:05:26 +0000 UTCYeah, animation hasn't gotten better it just changed. I like retro animation better but modern osts and the quantity we get now are superior. Like I used to be able to watch every single anime year by year and now that's impossible. Sadly however the amount of 'good' anime per year hasn't changed (like 1 or 2).
Fuji Nami
2025-01-08 01:05:19 +0000 UTCI can't believe we're comparing Cowboy Bebop to Overlord. I try not to be a snob but I mean come on! lol
Fuji Nami
2025-01-08 01:00:55 +0000 UTCGood memories of watching this on Adult Swim as a kid.
Derek
2025-01-08 00:59:41 +0000 UTCYeaaa that's a good point
DrumRollTony
2025-01-08 00:33:51 +0000 UTCOK last thing about how great old anime is. We didn't need 30 minutes of dialouge with still frames to explain the setting plot and characters, you just know what you need to know by watching. "Show don't tell" is missing from most shows these days
JoeyGuy7
2025-01-08 00:31:04 +0000 UTCGod I love Steve Blum's cool voice he definitely brings Spike to life
makotheQ60
2025-01-08 00:15:34 +0000 UTCIf you're liking cowboy bebop, I hope you will consider Trigun in the future, both are classics
AsbestosDust
2025-01-08 00:13:01 +0000 UTCAnd the hand drawn backgrounds, nothing looks like this anymore man, I love it
JoeyGuy7
2025-01-08 00:12:43 +0000 UTC90s cel animation is sooo classic, I'm glad we are finally watching a show from this era. I just love how Sci fi ship panels etc look in this style
JoeyGuy7
2025-01-08 00:10:40 +0000 UTCYeah he's gonna love this one lol
Owari
2025-01-08 00:08:50 +0000 UTCYeah the soundtrack creates a real unique environment for the episodes. Same person does music for a show called Darker than black, a show which I think you might like, bit on the darker side and older with good animation. Also dub is good if I remember correctly.

Dixon Hale
2025-01-07 23:56:53 +0000 UTCI knew you'd love Cowboy Bebop, it's truly a classic and all time great in my opinion. That opening and music in the anime is legendary as always
