Advantages: Great music, amazing story, memorable characters, affordable Disadvantages: None!
Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest anime series of all time, right up there with Evangelion, in my opinion. After long years of difficulty finding all the DVDs to find at an affordable price, Bandai finally released the Remix: Complete Collection in its Anime Signature Collection series. This means you can now buy the entire series in a handy book-style case containing all of the DVDs for less money than an Xbox 360 game. Cowboy Bebop follows the ... ...technology.
The music in Cowboy Bebop is one of its crowning glories. The genius composer Yoko Kanno had a hand in each genius track, and it is one of the most memorable anime soundtracks of all time.

Advantages: AMAZING soundtrack, great characters, perfect length, memorable Disadvantages: may not be suited for young children

Even the minor characters ... ...not been neglected, many of them will stick with you well after you've watched it. Every character develops very well and the interactions between everyone are perfect. Could not have designed a better contrasting but lovely crew. Though a little on the darker side (everyone has something they've lost, something they are running from, a reason to have turned to this lifestyle), there is enough comedic relief to not let it get you down, but not so ...

Advantages: owning a very very good series/collection Disadvantages: None
This is a very good anime. To tell you the truth I believe it was the first real anime I ever saw. It begins in the future with a guy named Spike and his friend Jet. Now they are just your advantage everyday smooth talking space cowboys aka bounty hunters, who run into a women who cheats at cards, lies, and steals, a dog who is basically famous, and a kid who hacks into anything and everything she can. In the end Spike goes on a mission he could ... ...This is really my favorite anime of all time I have seen every episode a lot of times. Some people think that animes are like regular cartoons but their not. For one animes are very insightful. I could go on forever about my love for this animes and anime altogether, but I must end this review so I am not here on this review all night. ...
