And Wow! What an excellent blend of American pulp noir and Japanese Si-fi. The villains motives were a little unclear and weird, but hey I thought is was a great film. (Good music too)
If you like Cowboy Beebop then you should probably give Samurai Champloo a chance. Both are like from the same director or something. Plus Samurai Champloo is kinda like Cowboy Beebop only that instead Cowboy bounty hunters you have Ronins and instead of jazz music u have hip hop (j-rap I think they call it).
Glad you liked it. It's a good movie. I prefer the TV series though. It's one of my all my time favorites out of any series I have ever seen and not just Anime. As another poster said, you should check out Samurai Champloo. It's by the same guy that did Bebop. I don't think it's as good as Bebop, but it's still very, very, very good and worth checking out.
Yeah I recently started listening to the /filmcast, and one of the people on there said that if you're going to watch an anime it should be Cowboy Bebop.
Is that true? I'm pretty interested in watching some, would I need to buy seasons online? I don't know how to go about getting my hands on it.
The only anime that's better than Cowboy Bebop is Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I highly recommend that everybody should see GitS, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.
@DanielJW: Almost certainly the best anime to watch especially for someone who doesn't have a running interest in anime, mostly since it's grounded in American pop culture and action flicks.
It's a single season, it's not some sort of BSG or LOST or Heroes that try to milk the 'series' as it's a single story that's told over the course of 26 episodes.
Rightsuf.com has the whole collection for $29.99 and Amazon has the movie for $11.99. Those are pretty cheap prices compared to everywhere else.
