Cowboy Bebop (series)
Overview: The year 2071 AD. That future is now. Driven out of their terrestrial Eden, humanity chose the stars as their final frontier. With the section by section collapse of the former nations a mixed jumble of races and peoples came. They spread to the stars, taking with them the now confused concepts of freedom, violence, illegality, and love, where new rules and a new generation of outlaws came into being. People referred to them as Cowboy Bebops......
Enter Spike Spiegel, a member of the Red Dragons, Chinese mafia group, Spike was impetuous and volatile, and had a sense of what was right. Now, however, he is cool and self-possessed, and has taken steps to hide this past so that he can live a free life. Together with his partner, Jet Black, Spike the bounty hunter flits from planet to planet in the spaceship Bebop. Relishing new encounters and loving danger, he never forgets to crack a joke no matter how dire his predicament. A practitioner of Jeet Kune Do.........Spike is never defeated in unarmed combat. He attaches little value money or the concepts of justice, but he will always fulfill his obligations. Cowboy Bebop is the everyday day life of a couple of inter-galactic bounty hunters and the mischief they get into just trying to make a honest days living.
Anime Direct Comments: This is the most original and greatest anime series' I have ever seen! Difficult to explain exactly what it is about but what I can say is that it was great from beginning to end. Very few anime series have the kind of "keep watching" value that this series has. It has everything from action, to comedy to wacky characters and a deep and twisting story that keeps you begging for more. It was anime series of the year (as well as most expensive) in 1998, and it definitely deserves it!!! Don't miss this one or you will kick yourself, this series has redefined the anime genre for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating : 5 out of 5
