A lot of people hold Cowboy Bebop in a high regard and after first experiancing the series for myself I can see why they hold it the way they do. To say nothing more, it is a masterpiece, a genre defining series that has a right to be held in such high confidence. Not many series can do even one of the elements as well as Cowby Bebop does, and even fewer can actually get every single solitary aspect of themselves to such a high degree of excellence. Everything in this anime falls into place with such perfection that makes it all organic and real and following to the extent that they do.

As I said before, the series episodes can be viewed as single episodes, as opposed to a long storyline. Therefore, you are bound to get several different...genres of sorts when watching. Almost every episode has its fair shair of comedy, yet don't approach the slapstick line. Yet other episodes are so greif-stricken that they leave you wishing that the characters parents were still alive, or that his lover hadn't been shot, etc...
With each episode, you will laugh, you will cry...it will practically tell you an emotion to feel, and you will feel it.

Unfortunately, I have to rate them lower because they did such a good job. I am a man who does not enjoy seeing suffering; I am very empathetic.

Cowboy Bebop is very original. I have not found another show of it's kind that came before it. Well a space-based show did come out before Cowboy Bebop. But it's not about bounty hunting in space. It's really old too. Really old. The humor was very advanced, when there even WAS humor that is, and was meant for a older audience that could handle it properly. I found some scenes funny but only very few. It's very enjoyable to watch. I could'nt turn off the T.V. while it was on because the show's are very involving. I found the shows can take you into these characters. These characters are just average folk. They're not very happy, they haven't much money. They act truely like we do. We being many Americans today.
