Synopsis

Another day, another bounty—such is the life of the often unlucky crew of the Bebop. However, this routine is interrupted when Faye, who is chasing a fairly worthless target on Mars, witnesses an oil tanker suddenly explode, causing mass hysteria. As casualties mount due to a strange disease spreading through the smoke from the blast, a whopping three hundred million woolong price is placed on the head of the supposed perpetrator.

With lives at stake and a solution to their money problems in sight, the Bebop crew springs into action. Spike, Jet, Faye, and Edward, followed closely by Ein, split up to pursue different leads across Alba City. Through their individual investigations, they discover a cover-up scheme involving a pharmaceutical company, revealing a plot that reaches much further than the ragtag team of bounty hunters could have realized.

First of all, is my first try with this movie. I watched this movie for parts because I got a busy life between family, job and my own time. So my opinion is based on a detailed analysis but I'm not gonna try to go deep on it.

The movie is amazing, the art and music (like always in Cowboy Bebop) never never lets me down. In this specific case, colors and art have something new that make me feel like movie wasn't made the year it was released. Wich is amazing.

Story and new characters are developed meticulously to be friendly with the spectator, so ...

I've seen cowboy bebop the movie twice now, the first of which I watched straight after watching the series and found myself confused as to why certain things had not changed due to events later in the series, until I discovered the film is most likely set between episode 22 and 23 of the series, and during my current rewatch of the series I decided to watch the movie where it's set chronologically, but even after watching it here I still find myself struggling to get the same entertainment value as I do from the masterful TV series.

The story takes a turn from Cowboy Bebop's ...

They thought they could just buy the rights to clone characters and we'll swallow the media like animals who neither care nor know what they are eating. Anyone who watched the series for its storytelling could tell this is the extracted commercial version of the series sold out to Mr.risk-free-corporate so a marketing team armed with all the audience reports money can buy could pimp it out to a mass of horny "fans" who couldn't give a buck what sucked them off behind the dumpster as long as it ended in "bebop".

20 of the Best Mature Anime of All Time

Anime aimed at teens is a lot of fun. But anime aimed at an older crowd is on a whole other level! You get more violence, gore, nudity and sex than you bargained for...which isn't entirely a bad thing.
