3… 2… 1… let's jam!
If you're a fan of anime and somehow haven't heard of this title yet, do yourself a huge favor and check this out. I can't remember when I first heard about Cowboy Bebop, but I do remember the name sticking with me. What the hell is it???
In short, it's a jazz scored, space cowboy bounty hunter noir action cartoon. The characters and environments are ultra rich and add a lot of complexity to the already interesting tapestry that the main characters weave with their various storylines. Not every episode hits the mark, but almost every single one has an amazing shot in it.
I'm catching up on all the episodes on Netflix. Hooray for them! For they have the 5.1 remixed versions and the surround sound is used wonderfully for both atmospheric effects as well as the soundtrack (though I'd skip Vol. 3 - zzzzzz....)
