Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

...such devout fans is that Cowboy Bebop is an outstanding series that everyone should try to see at some point. Style is the name of the game. Cowboy bebop drips style from every pore. And like some sort of anime Fawlty Towers they only made 26 episodes but each: a superbly crafted story of its own with the main story arcing hap-hazardly with lugubrious mysteriousness through the course of the series. Cowboy Bebop sure as hell leaves you wanting more. ...
...Cowboy Bebop does not take up after the series but seems to take place somewhere in the middle so you can watch it wherever you're up to or as I said even if you have no knowledge of the series. It could then function as an introduction. Cowboy Bebop takes place in the year 2071. Humanity has left Earth, spread out and colonised numerous planets all connected by hyperspace gates.

Review of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

...wondered why they call it Cowboy Bebop. Well apparently the Cowboy part is another name given to bounty hunters. The word Bebop? Doesn't it have a sort of Jazz type sound to it? Well if you thought that then you're probably right, since this movie is dominated by Jazz type music. Well it's not that much of a bad thing since it does emphasise how laid back our main character Spike is. But come on, a movie with only 1 type of music becomes repetitive ...
...music cuts off for the climatic fight at the end, and that's a good thing believe you me, unless you really love Jazz in which case I take that back. All in all this movie really kicked batty. I liked it alot, and although the music did get on my nerves after a while, the way the story was played out and the character interaction saved it. I recommend this as a must see aniamtion movie even for those who do not like animation alot, this could change ...

Review of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

...a self confessed manga fan, Cowboy Bebop is a definite must see! The first episode I saw was part way through the series and I was very confused. After taking that with a pinch of salt, I watched more episodes on CNX (Cartoon Network Extreme). I was in stitches every night, so I bought the perfect sessions which is the first series on 3 DVD's. Three night's of viewing later, I was ready to start from the beginnning again, as this series is unbelievably ...
...Bebop, a space ship captained by two bounty hunters and who eventually pick up some strange passengers along the story. Each episode is different and only 22(ish) minutes long. The characters are easy to get along with, especially the unusual data dog "Ein". There are many sub-plots to the series and make for compulsive viewing to get the entire story straight. Such as Spike and his clouded background. Radical Edward is a young, possibly insane, ...

This particular bounty is a high class terrorist whos an ex army man. His bounty is so high because he uses biochemical weapons. But cause the bounty is so high they go for it anyway. Cowboy Bebop the movie is a truly great action film thats fun to watch. Its got humour action including ...
...worthy animation and a great range of characters with completely different personallities that show throughout the movie. Overall this movie is for ages 12 and above because of its swearing and violence. This is a fantastic action, scifi, adventure and comedy all mixed together movie. I highly reccomend this great movie to anyone even if you havn't seen the series. ...
