Cowboy Bebop

<BGSOUND SRC="max300.mid" LOOP="INFINITE"> Cowboy Bebop is an extremely character oriented series that revolves around two bounty hunters, Spike and Jet. Spike is a lanky gunslinger with a dangerous past and some killer martial arts moves. He tends to be rather presumptuous and aggressive, which often lands him in some pretty dangerous situations. Luckily for him, Jet is there to watch his back. Laid-back but tough, Jet is a rough-sounding ex-cop with a bionic arm. He seems to be almost a perennial father-figure to Spike, and is often the more rational of the two. During their adventures in space, they come across a few more companions. The first is Ein, a lovable mutt with supposedly advance intelligence. He doesn't contribute a whole lot to the series, but looks absolutely adorable trying to run around in zero gravity. The next is Faye Valentine, the hottie in hot-pants who seems to be rather prominently featured on most of the box covers. She's both tough and fragile, with a very impulsive attitude and unconstrained demeanor. She enters the series as a layered character with a hidden past, and is slowly peeled back until she comes to grips with who she is. And finally, there's Ed, a young girl with extraordinary computer skills and hacking ability. Out of all the characters, Ed is definitely my favorite because of her utterly outlandish personality and happy-go-lucky attitude.

Review:I think Cowboy Bebop is a great series. It is packed with action and excitement. It even has a enough of a story to keep you interested. The series is broken down into episodes called Sessions and the series is about 27 sessions long not including a large number of specials and one movie. The only downside to this anime is that the story is so deep a twisting that you can easily become lost. And to make matters worse Adult Swim had to cut out some of the sessions so that made the story even more confusing.
