Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

... View MoreIt's 2071 and humanity has spread out to the rest of the solar system with the use of hyperspace gates. A gateway accident has left the earth's surface inhabitable due to the random rain of rocks. The kung fu savant Spike Spiegel and the weary ex-cop Jet Black are bounty hunters on their spaceship Bebop. They are joined on the crew by rival Faye Valentin, wacky hacker girl Edward Wong, and a data-dog Corgi.This is a fun, inventive space crime western. The closest comparison is Firefly. It's got great characters. I would have started the show with the entire crew instead of adding them one at a time. The ninth episode would be a great pilot where they add Edward, the final crew member. Each of their arrival on the ship could have been done as flashbacks. The jazz intro does lead to the jazz inspired feel of the show where the flow can be jumpy at times. A smoother flow would allow for an easier story telling. It's a stylistic choice that has both positives and negatives. As half-hour episodes, not every episode is a fully fleshed out story. It does lead to some two parters. This is an ambitious show with memorable characters.

... View MoreCowboy Bebop is one of the most famous anime's out there and It's in my top 5 favorite's easily. It's Got action, comedy, drama, and an epic soundtrack. The animation is very good, the characters are amazing (my favorite's being spike and jet). The storyline is very entertaining also. This anime also has one of the best English Dub's I have ever seen. The Japanese version is good but the best way to watch this one imo is the dub. The voice acting fits the characters perfectly as well as it having no cuts. If you have never seen an anime before I would recommend this one as a starting point. Highly recommend!
... View MoreThis is a pretty good anime. It's all set in a distant future wherein Earth has become uninhabitable and they colonize other planets and it becomes a mish-mash of cultures. We follow bounty hunters Spike and Jet and later on Fae, Edward and their dog Ein as they fly across space, get into adventures and get bounties as well as having their pasts catch up with them. The English Dubbing is really good especially for it's time. I also love the animation. The characters are well developed and by the end I really find it hard to not get attached to them. It's also pretty common knowledge that anime does have a primarily Eastern influence because of Japanese culture (much like our shows have a Western influence) there is a guaranteed no cultural barrier to watch this if you're just starting out. I really recommend watching this. I already have the movie and I will be reviewing that soon.
