Does anyone else watch this, its on CN's Adult Swim Block. Though i haven't seen it in its original Japanese, I have to say that the voice acting and dubbing is some of the best on television. The animation is fantastic, and the stories (though edited for nudity, etc.) isn't watered down filth like Pokemon or DBZ.
The last session was one of the best hours of animation i've seen in a long time.

I watched the entire DVD series. It is, without a doubt, one of my favorite series --not just anime, but EVER. I can't wait until the movie is released here.
There's 5 soundtrack CDs as well. I highly recommend them. Yoko Kanno's music has always been fantastic. I actually had 3 of the CDs before I'd even seen the show.

Cowboy Bebop is very good, finished the whole thing a while ago. I remember seeing some of it dubbed, and it wasn't that bad. But dubbed is dubbed, I try to avoid that generally.
Anyone seen the movie? It was ok, I thought. Too much focus on Spike and not enough of everyone else, and it seemed more like a really long episode rather than a movie. Ala the first PatLabor movie.
Cowboy Bebop CDs are annoying, they release all the vocal tracks except the ending on the first three OSTs, and you have to buy the fourth CD for what is typically included on the first and/or second CD. It's forcing you to buy the fourth CD, which is mostly remixes of BGMs in the previous tracks that I can live without. Shimatta.

Anyone else think that Spike's fighter (swordfish i think?) looks a lot like a naboo fighter from episode one backwards? or maybe i'm just high again.

Faye's Redtail kinda reminds me of a Workbee or that fandom Hopper. Must be the bubble cockpit.

I've seen most of the episodes. I really do like the series. I'm just left with one question... SPOILER $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Did Spike die at the end or did he just pass out? Tht left me a little confused.

he died. i mean he got shot (a couple times possibly), cut with glass, stabbed by a throwing knife, and sliced by a sword. Even bounty hunters have limits.

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Yes, it's quite clear that Spike died. The previous injuries didn't kill him, Vicious did. Like the bad, madman said, he was the only one that could kill him.

i wish i could afford the bebop DVD's. 120$ a set *ouch!*
I am afraid to believe that Spike did indeed die. The movie is set like three episodes before the last episode, so that leads me to believe that Spike died. All in all I absolutely loved the series. It is done very well in american overdub and the Japanese version is just as great (if not better).

For those who cares, I have the movie, and it's way better then the series in my opinion.
I'm consider opening an ftp site with all ep. plus the movies.
Any thoughts about this? $ $ $ $ $ $
And yeah, I agree with the others, Spike did die in the end. One more thing, don't you guys hate it that they never really fully explain Faye's past?
