Here is the Cowboy Bebop section; in my opinion this anime is one of the best. Every episode is different but still maintains a storyline. The characters are great in this anime. There are a lot of random villains that you will never see again, but they also are great creations. The few characters that do stay are very important to the story. Spike is the main character of the story and he is a very joking and mellow fighter. He describes his style of fighting like flowing water. This is similar to a more aggressive form of Aikido.
While not all characters are fun and carefree, that does not mean that they are not good characters. Vicious to the right is my favorite character of the whole anime, although he is slightly stereotypical. He is angry, dark, and very quiet. The thing I like about him is he is very powerful and in the whole anime when everyone uses guns and projectile weapons, Vicious uses a katana the entire time.
An Anime would not be complete without the girl dressed in almost nothing. But in like most anime, Faye can be quite deadly. She knows how to use a gun and that men love to look at her. She uses all of these things to her advantage yet does not hold back when it comes to sympathy for strangers. Anyone that isn't her ally has the potential to become her enemy, but sometimes it seems that she doesn't even trust her allies.
