Summery: The year is 2071 right before Halloween. A tanker explodes on a highway causing horrible side effects to all those who were close. A huge bounty is put on the man's head and since Faye actually saw the guy the gang think they have a chance. But no one knows exactly what was in the tanker. After an investigation, Spike finds what the problem is but it is different than what everyone thinks it is. That is everyone except a small group of people who want to keep it under wraps. Spike and the gang have to travel into the past and find out what is inside the mind of the supposedly dead Vincent's mind. The next trick is to try to catch him without killing him.
Personal Comments: This movie has stunning animation and a plot that keeps you guessing to the end. Pleanty of action and good humor to go around as any bebop fan would expect. In fact even if you aren't a Cowboy Bebop fan you will be able to watch this and understand most of it. The music has you rocking and jammin all the way though as well with music composed by the famous Yoko Kanno along with some serious music when appropriate. Recommended mainly for teenagers and not for kids though it isn't horribly rough.
