Cowboy Bebop - Trailer

In the late 20th century, Sunrise's Cowboy Bebop debuted. Set in the distant future when humanity has been able to inhabit various planets in the Solar System, Cowboy Bebop follows Spike Spiegel, an "impoverished" bounty hunter. Accompanying him is Jet – a former police officer. Every episode of Cowboy Bebop shows us Spike's quests. Through them, the past of the characters is gradually revealed, thereby bringing us to a very touching ending at the end of the film.

With all due respect, Cowboy Bebop is a monument of the anime industry. Movies aren't just cartoons. It's a true work of art with layers of deep meaning intelligently integrated into an incredibly compelling plot. Although it has been more than 20 years since its release, up to now, the perfection of Cowboy Bebop in all aspects is still the goal that many Japanese filmmakers strive for.

Background


When Cowboy Bebop first aired in spring of 1998 on TV Tokyo, only episodes 2, 3, 7-15, and 18 were broadcast, it was concluded with a recap special known as Yose Atsume Blues. This was due to anime censorship having increased following the big controversies over Evangelion, as a result most of the series was pulled from the air due to violent content. Satellite channel WOWOW picked up the series in the fall of that year and aired it in its entirety uncensored. Cowboy Bebop was not a ratings hit in Japan, but sold over 19,000 DVD units in the initial release run, and 81,000 overall. Protagonist Spike Spiegel won Best Male Character, and Megumi Hayashibara won Best Voice Actor for her role as Faye Valentine in the 1999 and 2000 Anime Grand Prix, respectively.

Cowboy Bebop's biggest influence has been in the United States, where it premiered on Adult Swim in 2001 with many reruns since. The show's heavy Western influence struck a chord with American viewers, where it became a "gateway drug" to anime aimed at adult audiences.
