| Another class catch up....I think it's a great anime but at the same time not as good as people say, maybe if I watched it at the beginning of my adventure with anime and didn't hear a million praises for this title, I would have liked it more but imo still, solid 8/10. The pillar of this anime are definitely the characters, that's why the episodes that focused on their past were the most interesting and engaging, unlike many episodes in which we simply had a bad guy of the week that our heroes hunted, these episodes were most often filled with a bit of stupid action where Spike without preparation got into hopeless situations but thanks to the plot armor, he managed to survive, and a lot of annoying coincidences that pushed the plot forward. But overall most of the episodes were really good and had an interesting idea for themselves, especially those that weren't filled with action, apart from that when I spent some time with the characters and got to know them better, even the weaker episodes were enjoyable thanks to their interactions. What I missed the most in this anime was more long arcs, like 3-4 episodes, so that there would be time to better develop the plot of a given thread and better get to know the secondary characters who take part in it, for example it would be useful in this episode of Jet, where there was this friend who betrayed him, as if the character we see for a few minutes gets some big plot twist and some big redemption scene at the end and it doesn't work at all because it's poorly built imo. Besides, it's a shame that these episodes are so separate and what happened in one episode has no impact on the next, for example in the episode where Faye gets a recording from her past, the anime forgets about it until the episode where it is continued and Faye doesn't think about it at all during that time, it's not visible that something so big has affected her, we suddenly get a new crazy adventure, instead of maybe looking for the person who sent the recording or showing why Faye doesn't want to do it. But back to the positives, the characters, dialogues, setting (that retrofuturism was cool), atmosphere, soundtrack and animation, it's just great. Favorite characters: 1-Spike 2-Jet 3-Faye 4-Ed |
| No matter how many times I watch it, this anime is still perfection to me. I loved every minute of it, from the first one to the last. See you space cowboy... |

| I absolutely love this anime, but I honestly thought they could have made it 10 eps longer to fully flesh out the characters backstories and their respective development. The ending felt rushed and a little too abrupt for my taste, but with more time and substance it would've been perfect... 9/10 |
can't yuck my yum  |
| W (good ending tho) i promised myself for 5/5 if the finale be as i predicted(as i suggested), sadly the last intro and outro was in the 25th epidose, good TV show, wouldn't say it's great, it's good or half of great Why didn't we say goodbye to Jett or Faye? anyways it's g00d, the era ends heeereeee "YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT" sadly, however, i may will rewatch that in the future, who knows |

| No entiendo por qué frenaron a buscar a la señora en vez de escapar, pero bueno. Tampoco tiene mucho sentido que spike se infiltre tan fácilmente Así y todo, me encantó el capítulo. Es una lástima que se guarden lo mejor de cowboy bebop por tanto tiempo. Hay capítulos que realmente no aportan nada y en vez pudieron dedicarse a pulir más los detalles de la historia principal que realmente es buenísima pero deben ser netos sólo 6 episodios de los 26 totales. See you, space cowboy.  |
