Cowboy Bebop

I am going to do something a little different with this blog post. Instead of reviewing a movie, I am instead going to review a television show. If you [my teacher] do not like it too bad. Now then let us begin the review.

Cowboy Bebop is a twenty-six episode anime series about four bounty hunters and their misadventures that come with their jobs. The world they live in is that after Earth becomes uninhabitable due to meteors constantly bombarding the planet humanity heads to the other planets. Because of the vastness of space it has become necessary to have bounty hunters to catch criminals that the police can got get to just like in the old west hence the title Cowboy Bebop. The series is a mixture of noir, western, and science fiction. Throughout the series we learn about each character pasts and how each one deals with it either by running away from it or trying to find it. Most of the episodes of the series are one and done stories focusing on the characters going on missions, with the exception of some episodes a the beginning, the very middle, and the very end, which ends up amounting up to have only 5 episodes that deal with the actual story line. Each of the main characters gets episodes that deal with them personally with the episodes dealing with the character of Spike facing his nemesis Vicious acting as the main story line. Every important character in the show is incredibly interesting and shows a different aspect of humanity (Except Edward). As the title suggests, the show has an emphasis on music. The soundtrack of the show is amazing ranging from jazz to blues to heavy metal. This series is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anybody including people who hate anime. There is also a film spinoff that is like an extra long episode of the series that is also good. I give the series a ten out of ten.
