If you liked Cowboy Bebop add

...then you might like Trigun add

If you've seen Cowboy Bebop but haven't seen Trigun you might be new to anime or you didn't have Adult Swim in your area growing up. You'll find that Trigun is also a space western but you don't follow bounty hunters in this series, you instead follow the "bounty hunted". The series is a great entry anime since the western influence is quite heavy here as well, so much so the only Japanese used in the show is for one joke and the anime tropes aren't many (but you get the exaggerated chibi reaction faces so you have a chance to start absorbing some dank Japanese culture). There is both light hearted comedy and serious action here like Bebop but the story and world building is much more important to the plot this time around and so much so you'll have to rewatch to pick up on all the little things that go over your head the first time. Good pacing, the characters and setting are all unique and everyone's personality makes sense along with their choices and actions, men with big guns, stuff explodes, the story holds many themes and morals and gives you plenty to think about. From beginning to end you'll be satisfied. If you're a western viewer new to anime and you like action with a story that makes you think about things this is right up your alley (if you're a vet hurry up and watch it already jeez).
