035 4 The only anime of its kind I promise . Filled with great action scenes , comedy , and romance , it needs to be on your top anime list . From the opening theme song you know this anime is diffrent and for some reason it just catches your attention . Also the extras are great with interviews of the cast . Also dont forget the movie if you enjoy the series .
032 4 This is definately worth it . Although , don't get too worked up on the prospects of that bonus Session #0 because it's just a behind the scenes making of documentary . Otherwise , get it , enjoy it , play the hell out of it if need be .
076 4 Cowboy Bebop was one of the first animes that I had ever watched nearly 10 years ago , and it still among my favorites . The Anime Legends box is an amazing deal for this series .
075 4 I am very happy with this purchase . Love this series . If you are an anime fan , you will not be disappointed . Get it !
090 4 First off let me say that this is the best anime series since Record of Lodoss War . As soon as I took the disks out of my mailbox I started watching . And I won't be sleeping till I've seen them all . Every episode is like visiting old friends you haven't seen in years . My biggest concern when I purchased this set was wondering if it had every episode or was just the greatest hits version of the series . YES THEY ARE ALL THERE ! ! ! I have wanted Cowboy Bebop on DVD for a while and haven't been able to afford it . All the sets I was finding online were cheap copies or outrageously expensive . Needless to say , I am beyond satisfied with this set . Thank you Bandai for remastering and re-releasing the series and thank you Amazon for the best price in town .
008 4 This is a great show . A perfect blend of sci-fi and western themes mixes with brilliant animation , loveable characters , fantastic action , riotous humor , and appropiately heavy drama .
This release is the absolute best deal for anyone interested in this series . The show has arguably never looked better and has indisputibly never sounded better than in these six REMIX discs .
If you're reading this review , I advise you to buy this set - - Now !
022 4 Not blowing this out of proportion , this is REALLY one of the best animes ever made . IN fact , scratch that - one of the best SERIES of any genre ever made .
I remember watching this when it FIRST came out years ago and I was blown away . This is that series that is so hip and cool and so well done that you can pretty much show it to someone who has NEVER seen an anime before and they will like it too ie , your mom , a date , etc .
Even tho I'm a 30 - yr old guy I admit I was kinda choked up when it ended .
No bones about it - Cowboy Bebop was revolutionary .
BUY THIS NOW .

Cowboy Bebop fans rejoice ! Finally the entire thing in one affordable box ! Of course you still have to buy the movie as well in order to REALLY complete the set , but it's a good cheap way to get all the sessions without having to buy them individually or spend $100 + for the entire set .
Enjoy the Mushroom Samba !

116 4 Don't get too excited , the one star is for being the lucky chump who got the box set missing CD five and six . Thanks Bandai , thanks a lot .
But don't worry , Amazon did refund me . THEY'RE THE BEST .
As for the show , it's a must have for mature anime fans . The familiar film noir private investigators mode of the episodes , the cool characters - ex-cop , ex-mob , the vixen , the tom boy and the small dog , the cool music , Courtesy of the talented Yoko Kanno , the not so future future , Shinichiro Watanabe's directing and Mars . What's not to like ?
Nice extras . If Shinichiro Watanabe made commentaries for all the episodes , it would've been a great extras .
And thanks Bandai , thanks a lot .
Cowboy Bebop Remix Complete Collection ( Anime Legends ) ( DVD )
It's the future . Mankind has developed hyperspatial gates that allow easy travel in the solar system , but Earth is devastated when a hyperspace gate near the moon explodes . Survivors move underground or out into the solar system as Venus , Mars and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are terraformed . Society has broken down , the police are unable to keep order , and roving bounty hunters ( I guess this is where the cowboy comes in ) capture criminals to earn bounties . Enter our heroes , Jet ( retired cop ) and Spike ( retired thug ) , bounty hunters who roam the solar system in their battered ship , the Bebop . Later in the series they are joined by Faye , a mysterious woman with no past , and Ed , an androgynous genius computer hacker pre-teen orphan , an Ein , a Data Dog who only uses his mysterious and unexplained data dog skills in one episode .
We follow these characters though 26 episodes which range from serious to slapstick , from sci-fi to western . None of the episodes are throwaways or filler , all the episodes reveal just a little bit more of the personalities of the crew of the Bebop , or serves up a sampling of one or more character's back story . We even see the crew of the Bebop break up and begin to go their own ways at the end .
This series has been over-rated as the best ever . I will say it was probably the best ever in 1998 when it was made . Certainly there have been better animated shows made since , or better stories , but everything came together just right for this show . Good graphics , an excellent sound track , superior voice acting . There is very little CG in the series , most of it was cell animation drawn by hand . The writing , however , is among the best . Finally , at last , we get a sci-fi show where the hero doesn't pull out a ray gun and spend ten minutes explaining what the ray gun is and how it works . The characters use guns and ships the way we use cars and forks , grab it and go , without any exposition about it , and it works . It's nice that the director and writers gave us viewers credit for having enough brains that they don't have to explain every little thing .
But therein lays the only drawback to this series : You pretty much have to watch every episode in order to get the story . I had seen several episodes out of sequence on Adult Swim and it made no sense when seen out of order . There is very little objectionable material in this series . We get a few gratuitous shower scenes with Faye and one scene where one of the bounty hunters interrupts a couple of men in bed together . Aside from this , the violence is the only thing that might give a viewer pause . If you have a problem with gun or knife violence , you might want to give this series a pass , though I'd much rather watch something like this where when somebody who gets shot is hurt or killed than an idiot show like the A Team where thousands of rounds are fired each episode and nobody gets hurt . Which one will teach kids a better respect for firearms , do you suppose ?
The ending of the series is rather poignant . Unlike many other anime shows , Cowboy Bebop does come to a definite end . The show left me wanting more , to know what finally happens to the survivors . And that's not a bad thing .
Is Cowboy Bebop the best thing ever ? No , but it is one of the finest crafted anime stories I've seen , and definitely belongs in any anime fan's collection . The Remix set is an affordable and excellent way of collecting the series , though it is becoming hard to find .
001 4 Look up the word ` cool ' in any dictionary and it says see Cowboy Bebop . . . well , not really . . . but it should , because Cowboy Bebop is the quintessence of coolness . If you don't already know , Bebop is a stylish 26 - session masterpiece chronicling the thrilling triumphs and tribulations of those space-sailing , chain-smoking , bounty-hunting buddies , Jet Black and Spike Spiegel . Jet is a bald and burly bonsai tree collector with an artificial left arm and a comma-shaped piece of metal under his scarred right eye . A former ISSP officer - - known on his home satellite , Ganymede , as the tenacious Black Dog - - Jet is now the owner / pilot / mechanic of the spaceship Bebop . The wiry gunfighter and martial arts master , Spike , has fuzzy green hair , mismatched eyes and a checkered past . These two intrepid space cowboys hop from one astral gate to another to hunt down wanted criminals all across the galaxy , hoping to earn enough woolongs to enable Jet to finally add some actual beef to his famous Bell Peppers and Beef stir-fry . In Session 2 , Spike and Jet rescue a Welsh Corgi data-dog named Ein from the notorious pet thief , Abdul Hakim . In Session 3 , they meet up with an unscrupulous Blackjack dealer who turns out to be the infamous yellow-clad femme fatale , Faye Valentine . And in Session 9 , they meet an androgynous red-headed net-diver with an occasionally invisible nose who calls herself Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky , IV . Only by working together can this motley little crew of hungry hunters overcome the ruthless gangsters , senile chess players , broken showers , biting mutants and bad mushrooms that stand in their way as they attempt to nab the endless lineup of bad guys profiled daily on Punch and Judy's Big Shot television show .
Cowboy Bebop showcases phenomenal jazz music and exquisitely detailed animation that perfectly captures the mean streets and spaceways of a future world that's simultaneously strange and familiar , with technology that's grungy and realistic ( like the hardware of the original Star Wars trilogy ) and a uniquely multi-cultural cornucopia of characters . Unlike most animes , Bebop is primarily episodic , so the shows can be enjoyed individually , without requiring the viewer to watch the entire series in one sitting . My personal favorite is the suspense-filled horror spoof , Toys In the Attic , which opens with red-tinged video footage of a dingy tunnel , reminiscent of the long-forgotten Sega CD game , Sewer Shark .
The Remix of Cowboy Bebop allows you to hear the unforgettably exhilarating opening theme , Tank ! ( as well as the rest of the exquisitely-scored soundtrack ) , in speaker-rattling Dolby Digital 5.1 audio . This affordably-priced Anime Legends set collects the entire Bebop series ( not the movie ) on six colorfully silk-screened DVDs . A plethora of special features are included , among them : three English-language trailers for Cowboy Bebop on DVD ; four Cartoon Network promos ; interviews with Wendee Lee , the voice of Faye Valentine and Cartoon Network producer , Sean Akins ; subtitled commentary on Session 1 with the Japanese voices of Spike and Jet , Koichi Yamadera and Unshou Ishizuka ; commentary on Session 5 and 10 with Wendee Lee and ADR producer , Yutaka Maseba ; a laughter-filled commentary on Session 17 with director , Shinichiro Watanabe , and legendary composer , Yoko Kanno ; Session 24 commentary with the Japanese Faye , Megumi Hayashibara , and the Japanese Ed , Aoi Tada ; a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Cowboy Bebop , called Session 0 ; plus a music video featuring the full-length version of Tank ! Audio options consist of the aforementioned Dolby Digital 5.1 mix in both English and Japanese , as well as the original English and Japanese Stereo tracks . The ONLY downside to this release is that all six discs are awkwardly crowded into one plastic keepcase , each held in place with tiny tabs that are easily broken . Shucks howdy , this is an anime collection that would even satisfy those crotchety old geezers , Antonio , Carlos , and Jobim . So come out of your cryogenic sleep and order yours today ! Highly recommended to all animation fans , cop show fans , jazz enthusiasts and corgi owners . Once the channel is set , you will no longer be able to escape !
003 4 While I may have gotten this box set elsewhere , I can tell you more about it . First , the commonly known stuff : it's 6 DVDs for a total of 26 sessions ( episodes ) , it's got English and Japanese audio in 5.0 and 2.1 but only English subtitles , and it's total run time is 650 minutes .
Now for the juicyness : some episodes have commentary from the staff . What does this mean ? It means that the voice actors themselves commented on the episode . Some episodes have more than one commentary . For example , the first episode has two commentaries , one from the Japanese voice actors of Spike and Jet and another from the English voice actress of Faye . If that weren't enough juicyness , it also contains a bonus Episode : Session 0 , which I am not allowed to spoil about .
So , aye , if you liked Cowboy Bebop and were waiting forever for the box set to come out , then why don't you have this yet ?
004 4 Cowboy Bebop is one of those special animes that come around very rarely , its one anime that can attract a vast variety of people , there are so many things to like about the series , my main reason is the action and humor but some people may like other things . There are 26 episodes in all and each one is like a mini-movie of some sorts , and also has there own musical theme thanks to the critically acclaimed japanese composer Yoko Kanno . Cowboy Bebop is very dependent upon its music , and the music is ingeniously organized , whether it be an action packed fight scene or just a mellow cool jazzy hang-out scene , the music sets the standard for the series . The series is beautifully drawn , the graphics are just a sight to see and the charcters move seemlessly natural as if they're real people .
Another thing special about this particular anime series is the english dub . There are some decent dubbed animes but some are just terrible in every sense , but Cowboy Bebop succeeds extraordinary , the voice actors are picked perfectly , this is a series that you would actually prefer the english dub over the original japenese voice actors ( well at least in my opinion ) . I highly recommend this series not just for anime lovers but to anyone who is looking for something to watch something thats fun and exciting . Like I said before this anime can attract anybody plus the price of this box set just makes the deal all the more sweeter , how can you go wrong with that .

I find most anime boring . I had friends recommend this to me for years and I never got on board because I have seen a lot of bad anime and so I was very skeptical . Finally , I wanted something new to watch and they talked me into buying it because it was cheep .
I love it . I think it is clever , witty , and exciting . The acting is convincing and the episodic stories also help to build character , not just kill time .
I would recommend this to anyone who likes in depth stories with fun characters , action , and an amazing sound track packed into each 30 minute episodes .

* Good sound design .
* Excellent music .
* Interesting style . It must be 60% sci-fi and 30% film noir , and 10% western .

Definately one of the best anime shows of all time , and should be considered one of the best sci-fi shows of all time . It has enough action to outdo most others , anime or otherwise .

Cowboy Bebop Remix Complete Collection ( Anime Legends ) ( DVD )
First of all , let me just say that this is an incredible deal on the Cowboy Bebop series , and you should order it now if you haven't already . 5 star show all the way , and this is less than half of what it used to cost to own the remix ( remastered ) version .
However I do have to complain a little about the packaging , more specifically , the spindles inside the case that hold the discs in place . The outward appearance is nice , and the design concept is a pretty good idea , but it has one fatal flaw in my opinion . When you open the case , there are two pages that hold four of the discs , the other two discs are held in place nicely on the inside front / back covers . The spindles on the pages do not have a very good release mechanism and you have to force ( bend ) the discs to remove them . This can cause the discs to delaminate , which means they might split in half since they are two pieces of polycarbonate bonded together ( bending will stress the glue used in the bonding process and it will eventually lose it's grip ) . All DVDs are manufactured that way , so it's not that these discs are bad quality . . . they are the same as any other DVD . In case you're confused , you might want to look up how DVDs are manufactured and proper DVD care . . . it might explain better than I have here .
Luckily , I had a few spare cases and am using those to store the four discs that were on those funky pages ( two discs are still in the original case ) . It should have been designed better , but I can't say that I'm surprised . For this price I guess they felt they had to cut costs somewhere .
Summary : 4.5 stars - Overall , this set is totally worth it . I would have given it 5 stars had the packaging been up to snuff , but this is such a good deal that it still would have been worth it had they shipped the discs in folded newspaper . It used to cost well over 100 dollars to own these 6 remix sessions . . . now it's under 50 . And yes , these are the exact same discs as the ones sold separately for more money . If you can find this in stock , buy it .

015 4 There are only two anime series / OVA / movie I've seen . Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist are the only ones .
Cowboy Bebop follows Spike , Jet , Faye and Edward as bounty hunters aboard the spaceship Bebop . Now onto the many reasons why this anime series is perfect .
First the story : Which blends comedy , drama , action , adventure , Sci-fi and even some romance perfectly like no other show . Most of the series are one episode stories yet I think are all connected in the development of the characters . The story of each individual episode is done perfectly giving a beginning a middle and end with no lose ends . The action is brilliant and I still haven't seen anything to compare to it . Finally we have the last few episodes leading to the ending . I won't give anything away to the people who unfortunately haven't seen this series , just it will blow you away .
Second the characters : Again done perfectly . Each character has their own unique personality who grows as the show goes along . Spike who used to work for Red Dragon crime organization and his haunted by his past . Jet a former police officer who is now working with a criminal , and his haunted by the mistake he made in the past . Faye who awakes from a 54 year cryogenic sleep with no memory of her past , who lives for the moment . Finally Edward a eccentric computer genius , who ran away from her father . Each character brings life to the series and draws you in caring about what happens to each of them .
Third the animation : The animation done by Sunrise is simply brilliant , and is still amazing after 10 years .
Forth the soundtrack : The music to the series is the perhaps the greatest soundtrack to anime series ever . It has a little of everything from Rock , classic , Jazz , Heavy Metal and others . Each adding something extra to the series . I even have the soundtrack to the series
Fifth the Influence : Cowboy Bebop has Influenced many series much like Trigun . Shows like BLACK LAGOON , SAMURAI CHAMPLOO , and others . I think that's a great compliment .
Overall Cowboy Bebop is a perfect anime series and is must to any anime fan .
016 4 It's great having the entire season available at a very reasonable price . I got to re-live each episode with the wonderful music and quirky characters that we all know and love so well . This was the best dubbed anime I've ever come across , even to this day and that's saying something considering this anime is around 10 years old in the U.S . I highly recommend this series to anyone , whether new or old to the anime industry and I can't stress enough how much the music made this series so great for me ( I own all the soundtracks to it too ) .
I would caution that this isn't a series for young kids . It's not Sailor Moon or Naruto . It is violent and has many adult themes that are probably better for people 13 and up .
017 4 My friend and I bought this based on its wide critical acclaim and positive reviews , on the off-chance that it would be good . We hoped , at the least , that it would alleviate some boredom while at college . . . it did much more than that . This is , simply put , more than outstanding . Buy it . Be prepared to be amazed .
018 4 This was the first anime that I ever watched from start to finish and when I first saw it , I loved it . It got me into anime and I'm very grateful to this series for that . It's a sacred cow in the anime world . However , now that I've seen many anime TV series , OVAs and feature films , I have to say that my respect for its quality has diminished , albeit slightly . There are some rather large plot holes in certain episodes ( especially Jupiter Jazz parts 1 & 2 : what reason was there for Vicious to betray Gren , really ? ) and some ( Boogie Woogie Feng Shui and Sympathy for the Devil , I'm looking at you ) don't even make sense . That said , this anime is historically important because it helped to kick off a major anime craze in America that expanded America's anime audience and more importantly , it's quite good overall . The endearing characters ' banter , the soundtrack that is still one of the best in anime history more than ten years later and the heart-wrenching ending still hold up to repeat viewings . Absolutely essential viewing for anyone serious about anime .
019 4 Ten years ago , Cowboy Bebop landed on Earth , and even today , it is still regarded as a top-notch anime . Here is the lowdown on the anime itself and the features this DVD collection has .
THE PREMISE : Cowboy Bebop is set in the future where people many of the other planets besides Earth , which is in ruins . The show is set in different planets and in space , where Spike Spiegel and Jet Black , two bounty hunters , capture criminals for money . Spike is a fighter who is a smooth talker with a cloudy past , while Jet is a former cop with an artificial arm . Other people join them later on , such as the ' data dog ' Ein , Faye Valentine , the woman without a past , and Ed ( who is a girl , ) who is just odd . In some episodes , Spike has to face his past , but otherwise , it involves bounty hunting , filled with plenty of action . Music is also a strong point in this anime , with jazzy instrumentals and the fact that every episode is either named after a song , ( i.e . Bohemian Rhapsody and Honky Tonk Women ) or has a musical reference . The opening , Tank ! will also get stuck in your head .
VOICE ACTING : A stereotype of anime is that the English voices are never good . However , that is not the case here . Spike's calm , cool , and collected voice fits perfectly with his character , and all the others ' fit perfectly , also . However , if you still hate English , the Japanese tracks are available .
THE DVD : It has six discs with all the episodes in it , save for the movie , which takes place between the fifth and sixth disc . The artwork on the DVD's look nice , however , the special features aren't really that great . I've kind of grown out of audio commentaries .
BUY ? : If you love anime , this is for you , so I say buy . You should also get the movie , which is also enjoyable .
020 4 Without a doubt one of the best anime series of all times . Every episode is worth watching again and again . Ed's unconventional cuteness alone is worth buying this set . You get sad that the series is ending three or four episodes before the last . And thank goodness for an ending that wasn't spawned by traditionalist thinking . One of my all time favorites .
021 4 This is a really great collection of one of ( if not the best ) anime series ever : Cowboy Bebop . It seems to be hard to find this series in a compact form ( it usually comes in many separate DVDs ) so I would suggest snatching this one up while its availible . This edition also has nice extras , for the nerds that like watching that kind of thing .
023 4 Before it was a household word for anime and animation fans , Bebop referred to a style of fast-paced Jazz marked by virtuoso performances . If you've ever heard of Charlie Parker or Thelonius Monk , they were Bebop gods in their own time . Bebop had a cool , smooth and devil-may-care attitude which still permeates Jazz culture to this day .
Cowboy Bebop takes that atmosphere and runs with it . The story of a ragtag crew of free agents who shuttle around from planet to planet in their ship bounty-hunting is the antithesis of the stodgy Star Trek type of prime directives and military chains of command . There are no captains and no aliens , only a human society in shambles with people living in a frontier of solar-system width here and there in small pockets of humanity .
The series is all about grand gestures and the character archetypes are not deconstructed too much but rather played straight . Other than in the final run of episodes , when they are confronted with the unpleasant feelings the lifestyle they are driven to pursue gives rise to ( a lack of attachment to life leading to loneliness seems to be a common theme ) , the anime is all about cool encounters . Secondary characters are mostly stereotypes , which makes the story suffer in a few points ( Gren comes to mind ) and don't get much development .
Unlike pretty much any other anime , one of the main calling cards of Bebop is its music . Composed and played by a Yoko Kanno outfit called The Seatbelts ( a band both in real life and in-universe ) it is a blend of many styles . From the urgent and syncopated opening song Tank ! , the jazzy-sax-meets-Deep-Forest Space Lion , the Morricone-inspired mock-cowboy themes to the adult rock anthems The real folk blues , Blue and Call me , call me . The music is cool , atmospheric and played with gusto , full of grand gestures like the anime itself . Small wonder fans of this series cannot divorce the music from the animation or the plot as it's a vibrant , coherent whole .
To sum it up , this is something that no anime fan should skip as it will probably stay with you for a while . For those unacquainted with anime , Cowboy Bebop will be a great start .
024 4 There is alot of moaning when talking about this box set . Mainly people saying that its exactly the same as the original box set and its pointless . That aside , i was so happy to finally be able to get my hands on the complete series without having to pay an extortionate amount of money for it seeing as i missed out the first time round .
Cowboy bebop is one of , if not , the best anime series i have ever seen . Flamboyant style and some great substance mixed in with a fun sense of humour . Good animation even by todays standards . To be honest , it is rare to see a series animated as well as this is throughout an entire season as production values always seem to fall as a series progresses .
- If you have seen it before ; this is the same basic package but worth every penny if you have never owned the set .
- If you havent seen it before ; You should have already clicked the add to basket button and bought it lol .
027 4 Shortly put Cowboy Bebop is one of the very best anime series ever made . The main protagonists , Spike , Jet and Faye , are all colorful and vivid characters that draw you into the story quite successfully .
The way people move , the way people talk , the music and the general setting is downright cool . And not in a man , thats coool dude way , if you catch my drift . Its more of a refined , controlled and well tasting sort of cool , the one that make you feel warm inside because you are lucky enough to be sitting with your own copy of this series in your hand .
There are plenty of serious moments and totally hilarious moments to be had while watching Cowboy Bebop . The series is mainly episodic , but does have a strong storyline that unfolds during the series .
You probably should pick up Cowboy Bebop : The movie ( while you're at it . Watch this one between episode 22 and 23 . Just be sure to buy the correct region for this movie , as it is one of few movies that used the ridiculous Regional Coding Enhancement ( RCE ) system that naturally makes even some correct region dvd players refuse the disc . Typical business for DRM in other words .
Well , nothing more to say , as there are long , brilliant reviews for this series / movie here already .
Enjoy !
Regards ,
C . Haegstad
028 4 This is gonna sound redundant with the other reviews but this is the BEST collection of the Cowboy Bebop series . Every episode is included and has been completely remasterd ( it's all the remix episodes ) and has a crisp clear picture and perfect sounds .
If you don't own the series already and are a Bebop fan , BUY IT ! It's low priced and looks and sounds amazing !
029 4 Cowboy Bebop is an awesome anime that combines both a jazzy film noir with a futuristic setting as it follows a group of bounty hunters . The episodes range from funny , serious , and some incredibly heart wrenching . If you enjoyed this I recommend looking at Samurai Champloo as well , another one of Shinchiro Watanabe's masterpieces .
This particular DVD set is affordable with a bunch of extras that any fan would enjoy watching . The packaging is a nice box set with two flaps that fit the six discs comfortably . My only qualm is that it doesn't seem that there are any wide screen versions available at all for Cowboy Bebop . But overall , if you're going to invest in the series , this is the best affordable option you have .
030 4 If you're looking at this product , you probably already know whether or not you want to buy the show . So why take the plunge here ?
It's simple . The 5.1 Digital Surround Sound is amazing . The new sound remix elevates the series to a whole new level . And at this price , it's worth buying the box set , even if you own the original sessions . ( Both the American and Japanese tracks are masterfully done . ) Every drop of rain falls , each piano chord , and the bullet shells falling to the ground completely encompass you . This is one of , if not the best , 5.1 digital surround sound re-mixes I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy .
On top of that , seeing this on an upscaled 1080p player , I am simply floored . I am going through the whole Cowboy Bebop experience again like it's the first time . Hey , I'm going through the whole I'm new to anime but is this good - oh my god this is so , so , so good ! phase .
It's an easy decision . Plus , at this price , with the extras ( see the set description or other reviews for more on that ) and the fact that these sets are limited editions , it's absurd not to cough up the Woolong for it .
Oh - - I have to go . I just heard Faye stomp away somewhere past me behind my couch into the bowels of the Bebop Bebop .

This is definately worth it . Although , don't get too worked up on the prospects of that bonus Session #0 because it's just a behind the scenes making of documentary . Otherwise , get it , enjoy it , play the hell out of it if need be .
033 4 I truly don't want to make this a long review , and I know that you don't wish to waste your time reading a long review , so let's put this anime up for review .
Character developement is superb . ( You actually feel for the characters after viewing for long enough . )
Soundtrack is original and catchy , and perfect for the Cowboy BeBop universe .
Plot . Well , Spike's a bounty hunter , so we follow his quirky adventures all about the galaxy , a very smooth and entertaining plot up until the grand finale .
Grand Finale , this is one of the greatest and most emotional endings in just about any anime . ( Second only to End of Evangelion . ) The ending is thought provoking and just a masterpiece .
Picture Quality , is well done and never painful to look at , very beatiful .
Overall . This anime is a perfect 5 out of 5 , with a low price tag and Spike and gang who will always be with you even after the final words are uttered .
You're gonna carry that weight .
034 4 I'm glad this box set finally came out , and that it's so inexpensive . This show has a little bit of something for everyone . If you haven't watched this show , sit down and watch it , you won't be disappointed .
Some people may not like it because of the loose connections between many of the episodes , or because they were put off by an episode , but that's what made the show great . It's following a randomly thrown together group of misfits on their sometimes wacky , sometimes sad , sometime's boring adventures in space while exploring the characters little by little and coming to a good , though somewhat open ending .
This show may not be for everyone , but hey at this price you might as well give it shot .
036 4 This has to be one of the best anime series , ever . A must see for anime and non anime fans alike . This box set collects the entire series on one place , great for marathon viewing . It has some cool extras on the discs as well .
Great story , animation , and a cool jazzy soundtack make this one set that should be in every fans collection .
037 4 Cowboy Bebop is an excellent series that almost anyone can enjoy . I've seen the entire series a few times before and am thoroughly enjoying watching it again . The 5.1 surround remix makes this version all the more enjoyable , and this is an excellent price , especially for anime . I can easily recommend this series to just about anyone .

If you have seen Cowboy Beebop , then know that I am very pleased with this set , especially at the price ! Bandai is becoming very popular in my anime library when I can buy an entire series for the price of another publishers single disc .
For those who have not seen Cowboy Beebop , just know this is one of the monumental , classic works in the genre . Every good anime collection should include this series .
Without giving much away : Spike is the main character , a bounty hunter that seems he could have been related to Han Solo ! His right hand man , Jet , and a great cast of main characters help round things out . Plus an amazingly cute Corgi that looks just like mine !
The story is fun and upbeat with a lot of action as well as some comedy . It seems no matter what Jet and Spike try , they always end up worse off than before and flat broke to boot .
The animation is getting a little dated , but is still high quality for hand drawn ( so much is computer enhanced now days ) . Each episode is pretty much free standing until the last few , so missing an episode here or there is not going to ruin the show .
Viewing Preference : English Dub .
Pros : Characterization , fun , story , action , great retro feel .
Cons : Dated animation , some goofy episodes , the ending . . .

I'm not really a big anime fan , haven't watched much at all until the past year or two . But this is a great series that almost anyone can get into . ( I first ran across some episodes that were uploaded to YouTube ) I enjoyed the characters , they are memorable and likable in their own ways . The music and animation is fluid and upbeat , and although there are many darker parts of the story , humor is used effectively . I am impressed at how the animators used CGI as well , especially since this was released in 1998 . The story of bounty hunters and space western atmosphere is not really that unique , kinda reminds me of Firefly , yet Bebop came first and became widely successful . Overall , for $35 this is an excellent deal for 26 episodes of great entertainment , and the bonus content is pretty good as well . Highly recommended .

042 4 Here is why you , the reader , should buy Cowboy Bebop ; Episode 5 , Ballad of Fallen Angels , and Episode 25 - 26 , The Real Folk Blues ( part 1 and 2 ) . Coolest s * * * I ever did see to put it crassly . The other great thing about Bebop is that they get to the point and do not drag on , the final climatic showdown between are beloved protagonist and reviled antagonist takes only about two minutes of screen time ; unlike Dragon Ball Z where it took planet Namek thirty something episodes or what not to explode ( after it being stated that it had only five minutes left ) . So yeah short and sweet , plus they glorify smoking , even in ' non-smoking ' areas ( especially in ' non-smoking ' areas ) .

Much much much better quality than my fan rips I have been using for years . The audio is a decidedly different mix . Levels have been altered , sound effects changed , and it does change the mood in a few scenes . Not very noticeable unless you watch them side by side ( so most will never be able to tell ) . Great series !

Cowboy Bebop is a futuristic story about bounty hunters in Space . This is a great story very entertaining with a perplexing but great ending . You will enjoy every minute of this series because there is never a dull moment . I strongly recommend this story to the fans of futuristic stories , laid back characters and the lovers of good detective stories . If you are unsure about buying this product , you will not be disappointed if you do so . The presentation is great because the six DVD's come in a single DVD box ( it takes up the space of two regular DVD boxes if you are worried about size ) . The price is a great bargain . I have watched this series two times , and both times got blown away by this great constructed story . The only thing I wish is for Cowboy Bebop to be released on Blueray . Standard definition does not do enough justice to the artistry of this amazing anime .
Note : I watch a YouTube review of this series , and the reviewer pointed out that all anime box sets with the tag line Anime Legends come in a similar box like this set .

Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime series I have watched , If not the best . It is an excellent choice for longtime anime fans or newcomers alike . Its gritty , film noir feel makes it very accessible to western audiences , I think . The animation is excellent and the American voicework is spectacular . This is one of the few amines where dub beats out sub hands-down . It is well-translated and feels very natural - another reason American anime virgins might want to give this series a try . Plus , the voices are just COOL . The writing is both funny and emotionally engaging . You will really start to care about these characters . Fans of Joss Whedon's Firefly will start to feel at home in this universe very quickly , I think . Lastly , I can't talk about this series without praising Yoko Kano's AMAZING soundtrack . The music of this series will rock your world . It sets the mood , laying the background and harmonizing the elements of this show , which taken as a whole , is a remarkable work of art .

053 4 I have never seen any anime show or movie as good or as cool as this . The english voice acting is the best in the industry , ever . If your new to anime and watch this first , as I did , it will spoil you for almost everything else out there .
As for this set , it's a good simple set . Not too many extras but considering how much it once cost to get this show on DVD , it's a great deal . It has a decent plastic case but it's way thicker than it needs to be for six discs . There's also no book of any kind to give a basic description of each episode . Still , you can't get much better than this .

My friend showed me the first two episodes of Cowboy Bebop awile back and right away I ordered the series cause I just had to see the rest of the episodes . I was never a huge anime fan before I saw Bebop and really I still wouldnt consider myself a huge anime fan but the thing is most people think anime and they just think oh its just stupid cartoons or whatever and I know trust me I use to be one of them but after actully opening my mind and giving anime a shot I watched Bebop and I cant get enough of it . Ive re-watched the series over and over again and I never skip any episodes It really is my favorite show now ever episode is amazing everytime I watch it I enjoy it . The show has a great cast of characters for those of you reading that dont know the show there names are Spike , Jet , Faye , Ein , and my fav . Ed ! ! . The show starts out staring just Spike and Jet who are two Bounty Hunters just trying to make some cash along the way the other characters come into play Episode 2 I believe is when Ein comes into the story Ein is a data dog he is very cute and becomes a close friend to Edward later on . Episode 3 Honky Tonk Women introduces Faye Valetine to the cast she starts out on a not so good level with the boys on the Bebop but after a few episodes I think they start to like her company even if they would never admit it . Episode 9 Jamming with Edward introduces Radical Edward she really makes the show in my opinion they show wouldnt be the same without her she adds so much fun to the show I love watching her . The show is dark , funny , action backed , and has a great story and an amazing soundtrack to boot I really dont know if there is a cd for the music on the show but if there is someone should let me know cause I would love to add it to my collection of Bebop stuff . So honestly if you think anime is lame like shamefully to say I did at one point you should still give this particular anime series a shot I would recomend it more for older kids like teens and such . If you dont want to spend the money to buy the Complete Collection with out getting a taste first then I would recomend picking up the Cowboy Bebop Movie its just as great as the show and will definatly give you a good taste and honestly im not sure how anyone could say this is a bad show if someone out there can I would like to hear your reasoning . SO yeah good show buy the series or buy the movie and if you like those buy the manga books there great too .

Not only did Amazon have an excellent price on the product , it was shipped to me a full week before the estimated arrival time , in perfect condition .
Cowboy Bebop Remix : Anime Legends has excellent sound quality , perfect for the phenomenal soundtrack this series offers . Of course , Cowboy Bebop is a classic , so the title speaks for itself . The perfect cross-genre series that can be appreciated by anime fans and non-anime watchers alike .

060 4 Cowboy Bebop continues to be the greatest anime of all time as far as I'm concerned , followed by Outlaw Star .
This collection is superb . The entire series remixed and at a good price , too ! The quality is as good as ever . I only wish it were a longer series !
Highly recommended !
061 4 I'm not really into anime that much , but even I have to admit bebop is amazing . I can't quite put my finger on it , but something about cowboy bebop gives me a sort of nostalgic feeling that i don't get anywhere else . I can't even decide on a favorite episode because each one is so good ; but be warned , you probably won't like cowboy bebop unless u have good taste .

The greatness of Cowboy bebop exceeds words . I often found the trailers explanations rather substandard . But that's because you can't put the magic of these space cowboys into letters . But at an attempt I can say this : guns , spaceship fights , spaceship fights on planets , martial arts , hot babes , comedy , style .

This is another gritty entertaining series for anyone's collection as is Samurai Champloo but don't expect the typical save the day hero's with these people as there more the pay us or leave us group . The one thing that truly makes this a fun anime series to watch is again is that Spike ( The fighter , bounty hunter , and gunslinger ) , Jet ( The owner of their ship and also mechanic and cook as well as bounty hunter ) , and Faye ( Thief , bounty hunter , and basically jack of all trades ) aren't the noble hero's you'll see on most anime series but more of the bounty hunters they are supposed to be trying to make their way through life and getting the big score . There are of course two other characters to this group but as one is technically a young child and the other a bio-engineered dog they don't really seem to have as big a role in the series as the previous three do . The animation is very nice but seems to be a little similar to two other anime series Outlaw Star and Samurai Champloo , the audio is also great you'll get 5.1 English audio , 2.0 English audio , and 2.0 Japanese audio . The voice cast they put together for both the English and Japanese cast were great no complaint as both dubbed and dubbed played their character roles perfectly . So if you're a fan of the gritty anime series like Samurai Champloo or like sci-fi animes like Outlaw star here's another great set for you home collection , but if you're just trying for something new for your anime diversity look at a few episodes online or on t.v and see if this is to your liking you might just get a kick at how entertaining this series truly is . . . .

066 4 Damn good . A must see for anime fans and this remix edition comes with commentaries , trailers , textless ending , a revamped audio , just about everything you can think of . It's a solid anime that excels in all aspects .
067 4 The only thing wrong with this is that i had to wait about 2 weeks for it , just about the longest i've ever had to wait for something from amazon , which i guess isn't that ba .
This is the greatest anime ever an it's freaking even better now . 6 discs of anime greatness produced amazingly and beautifully clear . wow is all i have to say . i love cowboy bebop ! ! ! ! !
068 4 Pretty much my favorite anime , so who could argue with better sound quality and picture . Although I had to send my first one back due to some bad discs in the package . The second one is fine and I got an exchange with no hassles .
069 4 Bought the Cowboy Bebop Remix : Anime Legends which is the entire series for a little over $30 . I couldn't be happier with the product and the speed in which it was shipped
070 4 You'll certainly get your $30 - 45 bucks worth easily .
I think it's time to blow this scene . Get everybody and the stuff together . Ok , three , two , one let's jam ,
The main character of Cowboy Bebop is a 27 - year-old stoic , laid back , relaxing , bounty hunter who is a genius when it comes to street smarts . Spike Spiegel is a ground breaking protagonist who breaks the mold of traditional anime heroes . The wonderful thing about Cowboy Bebop is that it seems as if is geared towards a mature audience without being over graphic or push the proverbial envelope . With the exception of Ed , the characters of this anime are all over 25 which is a nice relief after watching animes where many of the main characters are either in high school or younger then 18 .
I love this anime , which is an understatement in itself . Now that you can own this series in it's entirety for under 40.00 , in one convenient high quality package it is certainly worth it . Pick up Cowboy Bebop , watch it with a loved one that would not normally be interested in anime . You won't regret it .
071 4 Every other review that speaks well of this collection states definitively that this really is an amazingly solid buy . . .
So the funny thing about this is . . . I watched all of them on Cartoon Network back when it Aired .
Then I purchased this DVD set and watched it with my wife . . .
And I saw it about 6 months later ( forgetting that I had already purchased it ) and bought it again . . .
So the question is . . .
Did I send the second copy back ( or sell it on ebay or something like that ) .
The answer is no . . .
Why ?
Because it is so good I have no problem paying them for it twice . . .
Get this a enjoy yourself to the fullest . . .
The space mushroom episode is the best !
I hope you like this as much as I do !
072 4 I am so glad they finally made a box set . I actually owned the CB remix all by individual disc's , but had sense had to split with them . If you don't have the remix ; It is worth it . Especialy with Yoko Kano and the Seatbelts doing the sound track . Again I couldn't be happier with the remixed audio and finally a box set .
073 4 This is one of the best deals that I have seen in a long time . This is all of the remix DVD's plus all of the bonus features for an excellent price . If you have waited to purchase Bebop now is the ideal time . All the episodes , all the jazz , all the fun , for less than half the price for buying them separately . Five stars . Highly recommended .

I am very happy with this purchase . Love this series . If you are an anime fan , you will not be disappointed . Get it !
077 4 Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest animated shows I've ever watched . The characters are nicely developed and the story plots are both easy to follow and intricate at the same time . Definitely a must-watch !

The best anime ever . It has so much jazz influence and culture , It's beautifully old school like your cool cousin who's real refined wears lacoste and drives a bmw . It seems like a real show and has a real view of the world with minorites , poverty , struggle , sex , violence , but has warm undertones and peaceful moments every stereotype and people and thing seems real . All the music is original and the American voiceovers
have legends like steven jay blum and John Billingslea it has a real cool urban feel to it . Like the reason why people pay for 4.00 coffee and listen to duke ellington or wear tight button ups and glamour . Its a real cool show and the movie was good to . It's good for intellectuals and idiots , young and old . You can learn alot from this DVD .

080 4 The best thing about this series is it is not your typical anime . The characters don't have special abilities or powers ; they don't fight demons ; they don't save the world on a regular basis ; they don't rely on magic / spirit energy / chi / ki / what have you ; they are just normal people down on their luck , trying to make enough money to survive . They live day to day , trying to survive their environment , and more importantly , their past . Although it's animation , it is easy to identify with the characters . That , and not to mention that the soundtrack is amazing . Who knew a Japanese composer could take something as American as jazz and make it phenominal ? As a side note , for being made in the early ' 90s , it doeesn't look dated at all .
If anyone , anime fan or not , likes action / adventure anything , this is a must .
081 4 I remember when Cowboy Bebop was first debuted .
I used to stay up late on Saturday nights to watch it on Adult Swim .
In my opinion , This is one of the single-most Interesting Animes i have ever seen .
It definitely has a style all it's own .
Although i must admit , i have never actually seen the whole series , hence why i am taking full advantage of this Great deal . But when i used to watch it on television , whether or not is was a re-run or a new episode , i would stop whatever i was doing to watch it . I never lost interest in it .
Take my word , if you're a die-hard anime fan , then this is definitely A must Buy .
You won't be disappointed .
082 4 Few things in life are so entertaining and fresh as this show . From the original and electrifying jazz opening credit song to the end credits this is a truly entertaining show . The humor of this show is really funny it just doesn't miss a beat . Every character is really fleshed out and every episode is part of whole.I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes hard-boiled detective movies . Even if you don't like anime this series is an absolute gem .

First of all , I'm not a fan of anime at all , and I don't like TV in general . I bought this series without hesitation , though , after I watched the movie . If you don't know anything about this , the series director is Shinichiro Watanabe , one of the asian directors the Wachowski brothers approached to direct the short animation pieces that conform The Animatrix , the anime installment of the Matrix franchise . That means : this was done by a heavyweight . Now , if you watch anything related to The Matrix , you'll miss what's important about Cowboy Bebop : sense of humor . These people make one of the wildest mixes of contemporary culture , rivaling with things as big as Tarantino's Kill Bill or Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle . I mean : they go from Alien to blacksploitation to film noir , to chambara , to Kubrick , to Calvino to Bruce Lee . . . . . They've watched a lot , they've read a lot , they've listened to a lot of music , and they have the wit to make fun of all that . I mean , they don't brag about it , so you're safe : this is not an academic excersise as presumptuous as other TV series . This is just pure fun and good eye candy .

I mean , they don't brag about it , so you're safe : this is not an academic excersise as presumptuous as other TV series . This is just pure fun and good eye candy .
086 4 First of all , the series itself :
I'm not going to spend my time explaining details about a show you can find on thousands of sites across the net . I will , however , recommend this series to nearly anyone . Cowboy Bebop blends action , drama , comedy , and an awesome story flawlessly and is deserving of 5 of 5 stars .
I'd suggest at least watching the series whether you are a fan of anime or not , and although there are plenty of episodes that are technically stand alone , I for one believe you cannot truly appreciate this powerful series until you watch all 26 episodes in order .
Second , for this individual product :
I rated this four stars primarily because of the packaging . As I said , the series is definitely worth a 5 / 5 , but the packaging could have been better . The case contains two pages of disks , plus a disk on the inside of the front and back cover . The two disks on the covers are fine , but the four in the pages are very , very difficult to get out . It's possible after a while your disks could be damaged .
You could probably fix the case with a dremel or some sandpaper to the latches that hold the disk in , but I really don't recommend that . Any dust left in the case could scratch the disks , or you could shave off too much and your disks will be too loose . Your best bet with this set would be to put the disks in another disk case if you have one .
087 4 I first got this series from my freind and watched the whole thing in three days . It was so great I had to buy my own . If you have never watched anime before this is a great introduction . If youa re a veteran and havn't at least seen this , then shame on you . This is 6 DVD's and contains the entire series for only $40 . This is a steal ! !
088 4 cowboy bebop has been around for years , and there's good reason .
awesome music , entertaining characters , a jazzy hip world set in outer space where bounty hunters roam , these are the mixings for one of the greatest anime of all time .
if you dont have this series yet , this is a great buy , cheap , good extras , compact , treat yourself to a great buy
089 4 To start let me say I really love the complete collections I can pick up here at Amazon . They're cheaper than buying each disc individually and much easier than waiting for some of the discs to be stocked . One WARNING ! If you buy a complete set watch it immediately . You have a limited time frame to return the collection , if there is something wrong with it .
Cowboy Bebop is very good . The art is stylish . I love the opening . This is the only series I watch the opening every time . The writing is very good . It is episodic , but they will go into the lives and backgrounds of the characters , in most of the episodes . So , it's not simply run around and catch a bad guy each episode . The other thing I like is a lot of times , they don't win .
Towards the end of the series , they did somewhat of a wrap up on all but one character . It felt complete , but I wanted more . That is something I really like about Anime in general . The good guy doesn't always win and there is an ending . Cowboy Bebop has all of that .

Cowboy Bebop Remix Complete Collection ( Anime Legends ) ( DVD )
You have probably heard how amazing cowboy bebop is about 10000 times . It is a simply amazing
You have probably heard how great the music in the show is , and that is probably because it is the best music put in a Japanese cartoon .
The thing about Cowboy Bebop is that it has the formula that makes any story good , it is about the characters , and how they are human , just like you and me . When you can connect in a simple level to characters , because they are fascinating sure , but also because you can see how they act and react to situations that you can relate to as well .
The music plays also a great part in this series , adding another character to the gang ( be it the good guys or bad guys ) because the episodes are driven by it . it is like music in the Sergio Leone movies , where sometimes is part of the background , making you feel the action or the suspense of a scene , and sometimes is in the foreground as being the scene .
The other great thing about this show is that the sci-fi is not drowning you , the way they pilot the ships makes physical sense , not like say star trek where people press a keyboard and the ship does a loop , it takes place in the solar system , again not making you deal with aliens and things that don't really make sense , because it is a human interpretation of everything that is out in the universe , and the only time it does deal with something somewhat alien it does it in a funny alien ( the movie ) kind of way . In other words , this is a show that if it was transported to a cowboy story with the planets being towns and the ships being horses it would make the same sense .
The only thing that annoys me about the show is that it was not letterbox when it was made thus making watching it in a 16x9 tv a little disappointing , cause you would have to watch it stretched ( which looks usually like crap ) or having the annoying black bars on the side ( which would be the way to watch it ) but how could you blame these people for that when the series is from 1998 ? well I do anyways .
The remix version has 5.1 sound which makes sense since the music plays such an important role in this show , and a few extras that are defenetly worth watching .
If you like anime I recommend this show , if you like music I recommend this show , if you like comedy injected action I recommend this show , and I suppose this is for the 3 people that have never seen it ( just kidding . . . ) it is truly excellent .

093 4 I've always wanted Cowboy Bebop on DVD , and this seemed like the perfect chance to get it . I'm glad I did . Everything about this release is top quality , from the picture , audio ( you get the original japanese track and the excellent english dub , BOTH in 5.1 ) , cool boxart , and intelligent packaging . Menus are easy to navigate and cool looking as well . I especially enjoyed the commentary tracks on a few of the episodes , was a nice ( and interesting ) touch . I would recommended this to my friends , and any fan of the show who wants to own it on DVD , you can't go wrong with this collection !
094 4 Let me just say that I wasn't a huge anime fan to start with and I'm still a bit iffy about the whole thing but from the way people kept talking about this series I said , Screw it , take a look at it . I first saw it on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and immediately got hooked , this series combines the best of space sci-fi and high-paced action with a great plot and interesting characters . Definetely not your average anime that you see every day , it's a definite must see and must have ! This new release is a must-have for those who don't own the original boxed set and is a great gift for anyone who loves great animation , stimulating storylines and all the action one can handle !
095 4 So as I said I bought this for my girlfriend who loved this series . And we decided to watch it together . I have long since hated Anime , but this is now a exception . It is truly a great series , and I am very disappointed that there is not more . There is much humor , character development , seriousness , etc . . . Its just a great series , I strongly recommend you buy it !

Well like i said with this awesome release many people ( like myself ) have been very pleased . I was really dreading having to buy each of the individual sessions wich would have cost upwards of $140 . Or supporting bootleggers some where by buying The Perfect Session box set which from what i understand is out of print . But this is the best of both worlds Its a legit release that contains everything you would want from a Cowboy Bebop box set and it only sets you back about $40 .
Just a side note I know some one was kinda upset that the box was so plain , but who buys a dvd based on the box ?
But anywho all in all its a great quality product for a great price , definately worth the buy .

But anywho all in all its a great quality product for a great price , definately worth the buy .
098 4 I've seen some of the episodes on cartoon network's Adult Swim , but I never really had the chance to watch the entire thing because usually they would always have re-runs of this show . The series of Cowboy Bebop is about 3 bounty hunters , a super genious dog , and a hacker who acts like a cat ! Together they struggle in their futuristic world of space with a little mix of the western world , jazz , and people that mostly live on other planets like jupiter , saturn and mars .
Their job is to capture their bounty , turn them in , and collect the reward , though sometimes it doesn't always work since they end up accidentally killing their bounty or that they commit suicide for alot of reasons that our bounty hunters do not know of . Sometimes they'll come home with nothing else to eat but the same god damn food that their tired of eating almost everyday !
But later on in the series each characters tormented past is revealed . The past is really sad to look back to even for the characters of the show . About one who used to work for the police agency , one who lost her memory in an accident 50 years ago ( I think it was ) , and a man who can not wake-up from a bad dream .
I gave it a 5 star because the story and the animation is really good as well as the music made by one of my most favorite artists Yoko Kanno . The rating of the show would be Teen or TVMA since it has violence , nudity ( only in one scene because a man has the body of a woman ) , and involves drugs ( the people in this show smoke alot ) . All in all , I recommend anyone to buy this . It was a wonderful show for me when I watched it
099 4 Like many , I caught most of this series on Cartoon Network . Hooked but low on funds I sighed as the individual disks were on sale for $25.00 a piece . But now this ! While it is nice to have each disk in its own case with the inside material , for the price you have to grab it before its gone . The series is excellent , the music fits better than almost any anime out there , and you are almost never lacking for action . The quality of the picture is very good as well . The only down side . . . the preview for other anime on all the disks is exactly the same ! I know that doesn't effect Cowboy Bebop itself , but I enjoy seeing what's out there on the preview clips and was aggravated to see the same two or three presented over and over . Oh well . . . Like I said , get it now !
100 4 In my opinion , Cowboy Bebop is never going to reach the psychological devastation of Evangelion . However , this series is still popular , because characters in Bebop fight courageously for justice , even when hope seems far away .
Spike Spiegel and Jet Black are two bounty hunters , turning criminals in to the police for rewards . Faye and Ed join them later on in the series . Although the four frequently run out of food , they form an irresistable family , even when money is hard to come by .
This series has everything , from science fiction to romance to rough action . Most of all , this anime is about Spike's freedom from his tumultuous past as an assassin of the Red Dragons , the corporate yakuza group aimed at gaining power over the universe . His girlfriend , Julia , is definitely worth fighting for .
The other characters also bring their own unique histories as well . Faye Valentine she lost her memory fifty years ago in an accident in space . Fifty years later , when Faye awakens from her cryogenic sleep , she finds herself in a world where cars have been replaced by flying spaceships . Her shock is not unique - - it is the shock that many Japanese have had at the evolution of Japan into a humongous industrial machine .
Finally , Bebop has some of the most hilarious comedy episodes . Two notable episodes , Mushroom Samba and Cowboy Funk , have the craziest situations ever seen in anime . In Mushroom Samba , Ed captures a mushroom smuggler in the wackiest train chase , featuring African-American bounty hunters with names taken from Blaxploitation movies such as Jackie Brown and Shaft . The other episode , Cowboy Funk , involves Spike and his ordeal with a cowboy on a horse with missle launchers . Yes , he's a cowboy on a horse in the future , upholding the traditions of the Western past . Don't ask me how he got in there . He's just there .
If you're an anime fan who still hasn't seen Cowboy Bebop , pick it up immediately . This is an excellent action series that cannot be missed .
101 4 A present for Ed ?
No , silly girl , a present for me . A box set version of the jazzy cool anime Cowboy Bebop that's 130 bucks off the individual remix's list .
A slick show with great characters ; I like Spike's apathetic melancholy that just doesn't quite hide his intense enthusiasm and Faye is back-stabbing , two-faced , and manipulative but then seems genuinely surprised when people get in her face about it .
And then there's Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV . . .
Now I can watch you anytime I want .
Love you Ed girl .
102 4 I just got the collection in a few days ago and I am extremely happy with the quality of the DVDs . The picture is clear , sharp and the packaging is compact and perfectly lives up to the show's theme ( not to mention the great bonus features ) . This show is by far , one of the best anime series out there so if you are looking to start your collection or to help round it out , buying this series is a great choice .
103 4 Bebop is one of the best anime of all time . Loaded with action , comedy , drama , romance , all in a sci-fi setting ; it is a classic . Best english dub ever . . . I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode in Japanese .
Memorable characters . Spike is my favorite anime character of all time ; my Spike Spiegel Messenger Bag might just be one of the best purchases I've ever made .
Awesome music . I listen to the soundtrack every single day . The jazz is amazing , as only Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts could make such a spectacle . It's the main reason for my favorite radio station being CD101.9
Do I need to say more ? Cowboy Bebop . . . You're missing out if you haven't already seen it . Don't forget to pick up the movie as well

107 4 It's amazing and it has never been cheaper
What are you waiting for ?
108 4 I stumbled upon this great deal by accident and ordered it immediately .
The pack arrived fast and swiftly . The audio quality is excellent , the vid is good but a bit fuzzy , well the anime is quite old so I guess thats normal . For me the audio quality is the most important thing and thats great .
Great price , good quality , it's a keeper .

111 4 This anime is realy good , graphic are ok , ending is good , Thir is realy no reason not to like it.I recommend it .
112 4 It's about freakin ' time Bandai came out with a DVD set that people could actually buy ; for a moment I thought I was going to have to buy a bootleg . ( Which is a big no-no , kids . )
Anyway , I'm definitely not the first one to say this , but Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime series ever . The story never is never boring , the animation is excellent , and it has a fantastic soundtrack . A definite must-have .
113 4 When Bandai started coming out with these Anime Legends sets , i would of imagined that Cowboy Bebop would of been one of the first to come out . Well they saved the best for last ! I saw a good chunk of this show on Adult Swim and would recommend it to everyone . I just wished it came out before Christmas though . Oh well better late then never . This is likely to be all of the Cowboy Remix DVDs thrown into one brick case and sold at a low affordable price .
114 4 I first caught an episode or two of Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network . I've been hooked ever since .
115 4 Cowboy Bebop is commonly hailed as one of the best anime series of all time , but with its utter lack of cohesive story or character development , Cowboy Bebop proved to be ( with the exception of perhaps five out of the series ' twenty-six episodes ) painfully insipid . Many would argue that the series requires neither of these common necessities in good storytelling , which is true provided that each episode of the series was entertaining enough to keep viewers watching . However , the vast majority of the episodes range from unoriginal to comedically contrived . Cowboy Bebop certainly is The Work Which Becomes a New Genre Itself , attempting a jack-of-all-trades-yet-master-of-none-approach with sci-fi , drama , and comedy . Its sci-fi repeatedly breaks its own metaphysics ( a la random feng-shui magic introduced late in the game ) , its drama refuses to give insight into its characters , and its comedy , at which it is most successful , still frequently falls flat .
A common hindrance in anime is that the stories can get so bloated with its agenda or characters ' melodrama that maintaining the viewer's interest gets lost in the shuffle . The staff of Bebop seemed to take this problem to the other extreme as the series suffers from morbidly deficient storytelling . One character's entire backstory is a string from one cliché to the next , starting with his lone righteousness in a corrupt police system to when time figuratively , and tritely literally , stops for him due to his estrangement from an old flame . Another backstory , or lack thereof , is meted out in dialogue-starved shreds of flashback with viewers left to fill in the blanks in the narrative . Whereas some might confuse such moves as artistic , the result comes off as lazy , wherein the creators themselves did not want to put the effort into piecing together their own puzzle . This would not be such a problem were the audience not expected to care about the characters and their pasts , although the dramatic tone of the closing episodes would suggest otherwise . Furthermore , there is little point in watching the sessions in any kind of order , as the series generally has no more continuity than Bugs Bunny cartoons .
The series is not completely devoid of merit , however . The best five episodes ( 2 , 9 , 17 , 18 , and 22 ) truly compose the Best Sessions with rare moments of genuine humor and , in the exclusive case of Speak Like a Child , genuine poignancy . Also , the series boasts an impressive and eclectic soundtrack by the peerless Yoko Kanno who unfortunately seems to curse nearly every project she works on , bestowing on them scores that few series have lived up to ( with the notable exception of the first Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex series ) .
Even at a reduced price and with remastered audio , the grand total of four fun episodes and one fleshed-out character makes this series hard to recommend . The product is a ham-fisted juggling act between comedy and drama that leaves viewers with little to no emotional investment in the characters .
117 4 This anime wasn't very good . Its quite hard to describe it seeing as the the story is very sporadic and just not very interesting . The main villain has no personality and seems to just want to kill people . One episode might be incredibly stupid ( an androgynous child searching for food ) while another might be really violent ( fat killer assassin in a top hat who cries like a baby ) . People seem to think that the characters are incredibly developed but there not . There back stories are never really explained , only hinted at , and its hard to care for them because they are all either jackasses , idiots or both . I love humor in my anime but this one just wasn't very funny .
The worst part about this anime is the first episode which is great but basically sets you up for disappointment . I'd recommend passing this anime by , and buying something else .
118 4 Where to begin on this stinker ? For some reason , everyone likes this crappy anime , failing to realize that it has no plot , crap voice acting , cheesy violence , and no nudity , unless you like man-boobs . Every episode involves some sort of emo anorexic named Spike who goes around hunting people while getting shot many times , only to die by getting slashed at the end , Faye , who is just there for some eye candy , Jet , who is useless , and Edward , who is some sort of an autistic savant boy who has spent too much time on the internets . Also the music is crap . Why would you listen to jazz ? If Nickelback played music on this show , I might give more stars .
For good anime , check out anything that 4kids , the best anime company ever , made .
