I know that I am like sixteen years too late to be reviewing Cowboy Bebop but I don't care all that much. It is kind of scary how I have been in existence for that length of time, makes me feel really young but I am young so no matter. There will be no spoilers for those who have not seen cowboy bebop yet. I will do a separate post with analysis which will have spoilers. 3 2 1 lets jam .

Let's firstly talk about the plot of Cowboy Bebop. The show does have a main story however it isn't the main feature of the show. Most of the episodes within the series aren't related to the main story line. I'm not sure if I like that or not but overall the show is strong. It follows the adventures of four bounty hunters on board the space ship Bebop. It takes place in space where everyone lives because Earth is basically uninhabitable. Don't let this put you off though. I am not a huge fan of space things and I really did enjoy Cowboy Bebop. The characters on board the Bebop are all memorable and I liked all of them. I didn't feel that any of them were pointless which is something that I find in a lot of shows.
The soundtrack of Cowboy bebop is amazing. The jazz and blues soundtrack is one of my favourite features of this show and it really made the show stand out. I think that the way Cowboy bebop was made could have easily failed. It takes things that shouldn't go together (e.g. Cowboys and space) and makes them work. At no point was I bored or uninterested.
Personally, I think that if you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, you are really missing out. It is such a cool, interesting anime which I loved and I wish I could watch again.
See you space cowboy...
