a5c7b9f00b In the year 2071, the Solar System is linked by a network of hyperspace gateways. Police lose their grasp on crime and a bounty hunting system has been implemented. On an old fishing starship called the "Bebop," a cool as Zen man of mystery, a macho former hard-boiled cop, a brash and fickle woman with a large debt, a whimsical whiz kid hacker and an unsuspecting Welsh Corgi band together to hunt bounty heads for a meager living. Unfortunately, they are some of the unluckiest people in the star system. These are the stories of the adventurous (and misadventurous) lives of four struggling people and a dog. The futuristic misadventures and tragedies of an easygoing bounty hunter and his partners. The year: 2071 AD. The setting: outer space. The pitch: Spike Spiegel and his partner Jet Black are bounty hunters who chase down the galaxy's toughest criminals for the price on their heads. Driven by greed as well as their lust for action, Spike and Jet are always ready when the money's right. Throughout their exploits, our heroes encounter some real characters, including the beautiful Faye Valentine and the brilliant Ed. Fusing compelling sci-fi elements with a killer soundtrack and stunning visuals, Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest animated shows to come out of Japan in a long time. If you like shows that blend all kinds of genres almost seamlessly, you will love Cowboy Bebop. It blends almost every genre you could think of into its story. I wouldn't have been surprised if there was a musical episode somewhere along the way (unfortunately there wasn't :P) If you like shows with lovable, fascinating characters, you will love Cowboy Bebop. The secretive badass Spike, the blunt but kind-hearted Jet, beautiful and insecure Faye, the strange and oddly flexible Ed and adorable 'data-dog' Ein all team up to scour the universe for bounties to collect. They all have such subtle development over their mostly episodic adventures that your barely even realise how much you're connecting with them on an emotional level until the final episode.<br/><br/>If you like shows that have amazing music to enhance basically everything, you will love Cowboy Bebop. Much like the storyline itself, the music branches across all kinds of genres, but manages to fit their respective scenes perfectly. The final scene and the song that goes with it will stick with me for a very long time.<br/><br/>If you like shows in general, you will love Cowboy Bebop.<br/><br/>It doesn't even matter if you're an anime fan, or you've never watched anime in your life- Cowboy Bebop should be made required viewing for everyone.<br/><br/>Watch it!
