The movie was the first anime i saw and what got me into anime.
The fights in the movie when he uses his martial arts was awesome.
The movie was better that i can say for sure even if i havent seen the last eps.

This is very true.Brainpiercing wrote:I've started re-watching CB, and I must say it only gets better the second time around. The pacing is beautiful and each scene and line of dialogue fits. I also think to appreciate it fully you have to have watched a good deal of other anime to know what you really get in this show.
I never realized how good it was until I started watching it again recently. It's different than most of the stuff out there and it is so much better.
The fact that the main character is not an angst-ridden teen (like every other anime out there) is another great thing about the series.

The fact remains that he feels like an angst-ridden twenty-something brooding over his past rather often. Well, perhaps not often, but still way too much, considering the fact that his backstory is probably the weakest part of Bebop.Femto wrote:This is very true.Brainpiercing wrote:I've started re-watching CB, and I must say it only gets better the second time around.

Maybe my opinion will change, I'll re-watch it soon...

Just look at him, the way he moves, what he says, his reactions to other characters. He's cocky and very sure of himself, far from angsty. Sure, he has some sort of death wish and always gets moody when his past takes center place, but those are just his emotional aspects. It's like saying that Guts is angst-ridden during the first arc in Berserk because he's always crying about not belonging anywhere. It's not angst, it's character development or backstory or whatever you want to call it, it just makes these characters deeper and more emotional.
Frankly, I think your baseless hate for this series is keeping you from enjoying it. I said that I liked the fact that it doesn't have angst-ridden teens to which you reply that Spike is an angst-ridden twenty something (i.e. not teen) who broods over his past too often. Then you admit that it doesn't really happen often and then you pull this thing of the backstory being the weakest part of the series for no real reason. I might have trouble understanding you here, but I don't see what you're trying to get at. It just seems like you're trying to form an argument against me and are coming up empty-handed.
Just forget everything you think or know about Bebop and just rewatch it with a clean slate, you'll enjoy it more.

Re: The Cowboy Bebop Appreciation Thread
This thread gets bumped.
I watched most of the episodes back in the day in english, and of course that dub is great too. Now I rewatched it after like 6-7 years (in japanese this time) and it's even better. Probably due more to the difference in my age than in the voices/translations. There were many little jokes and details that I didn't get back then. All that stuff just makes it so much better.
Btw did anyone notice that Jet is Void's voice in the japanese version.

Re: The Cowboy Bebop Appreciation Thread
This was the first series I ever bought on DVD, and also the first time I found out that any cheap DVD series is most likely a chinese knockoff. Oh, well. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
