Cowboy Bebop
costi:
I think that Cowboy bebop shares one thing with jazz: it's not for everyone. You either "feel" it and let yourself be taken by its flow (a nice, lazy flow), or it's just a bunch of random notes thrown together without much sense. So, I would dare saying that the anime itself is a kind of jazz piece.
Note: this is not an insult to anyone. For me, jazz is a kind of music that yu have to feel, and you have to be in a mood for it to enjoy it to its fullest. Personally, I'm not really a jazz person, and I usually find it tiresome and just too random.
That said, I enjoyed CB a lot and it is one of my favourite anime.
The movie is also great, but more in terms of a well-done action flick with a bit of the CB spice. Also, it stands pretty well on its own IMHO, which is pretty rare.

While I was little disappointed with the ending, at least we know that it *has* ended and there isn't likely to be another season of it.
It took me a little while to get into it, but eventually I got hooked on the music and the storyline that seems to weave it's way through the episodes.
In fact there seemed to be at least two stories that ran side by side through the series, now that I think of it.
Nice artwork in general and with the ships specifically.
Normally the hero's ship is *always* super shiny sparkly and never ever takes any sort of damage..... not here!
All of the ships that appear in the series on a regular basis, tend to looked a little 'used' all of the time. I like that in this series.
The character are fleshed out nicely as the series moves on, with new 'main' characters being added in the first few episodes and a little further into the series.
The 'rapid transit' system they use is very similar to the 'trade lanes' and 'gates' they use in the old game "Freelancer".

Really? I thought it was one of the worst Anime's I ever watched. It was quite dull to me and hard to keep watching. It did not even leave much of a lasting impression. I think people should watch newer and fresher series before crowning a dated series like this. There is so much out there now.

of all the stuff that's out their now Cowboy Bebop is still one of the best.
If you didn't like it then you're in the minority.

I'd be curious what you thought was so bad and dull. And then see some examples of what you think is good and interesting. Indeed, you're part of a very tiny minority.
Personally, this is what I think of as a junk opinion. The justifications aren't expressed; the opinion is so dismissive that where ever it is you're coming from must be so terribly different from where I'm coming from, or just terrible. If you have reasons, fantastic. If Cowboy Bebop just didn't float your boat, then wow, that sucks.
It's one thing to not enjoy it, it's another to not recognize what's good about it.

In the time I've been watching anime, which, I admit hasn't been that long, I've discovered that almost every anime series/movie I've watched has something good about it, even Eiken (hate, hate, despise) has good artwork, despite being so ecchi that it is both borderline hentai and quite rediculous.
