Anybody seen it? Anybody like it?
Why did it only last one season? What the hell is a data dog? And what the hell is Ed?

Yeah its classic. It was only meant to be one season...right? Not like it was 'canceled' I think there was a movie as well. Ed is a girl. The dog was Ein?

It’s okay. You should check out the new Netflix live action version. All your questions will be answered there.

Love it. Easily one of my favorite anime series ever. It was only meant to be one season long. It's never fully explained what a data dog is; it's just a bit of a MacGuffin to get Ein onto the team. And Ed is the quirky hacker. Everybody's gotta have one of those.

Cowboy Bebop is like THE BIG THING for many American fans. It is like God. No wonder the live action bombed.
Most of us would be at Comic-con panels discussing stuff when someone would bring up Bebop in revered tones. So crazy
It was cool.
It was actually a project.
Anime projects are either original anime or based on a manga(comic book).
I lean to Manga projects because the characters feel more fleshed out. There is Manga for Bebop, but it was created on demand from the anime, sort of like the James Blish Star Trek series books.
A way to look at it is this was a storyboard thing. People sitting around a table throwing out ideas.
So it was fun & cool, but that was all there was. It was never meant to go further.
One of the things about anime when I got into it (first Comic-con was 2001 after my husband died. Tokyo pop was pushing it's Japanese orientated Manga
One of the things voiced from American fans then was so much was left to the imagination. "Unfinished". A lot of Americans like it all spelled out while Japanese creators seem to like to let the reader decide what happened.
My way to watch anime was usually in Japanese with subtitles, but I also usually did a run through in English with the Japanese subtitles up to compare the plot variations. DBZ was wild because in English they'd be yammering endlessly but no subtitles so I would pop over-no talking. Like the American dub was afraid of silence.
So yes.
Bebop was 1 show.
They did not make a second show/season.
There is a movie.
Ed is a kid left to her own devices. She was originally a male character swapped to female to even out the Bebop crew & was based in part on the composer Yoko Kanno
Ein is enhanced
The whole computers will allow humans to become more, but of course animals get experimented on first.

That's been one of my favorite things about Cowboy Bebop. There was a lot that was left for the audience to piece together and figure out for themselves.

That's been one of my favorite things about Cowboy Bebop. There was a lot that was left for the audience to piece together and figure out for themselves. Which is a very artist thing. Ronnie James Dio didn't like to say what songs were about because he felt whatever it meant to the listener was what mattered. Americans like obvious. They want the ending spelled out. So many of the manga-kas in panels were "the Manga is my work. The anime is the work of the anime team" they really didn't care it was different. I love Clamp & anime of their work isn't always faithful, but they don't care. They respect the other artists telling their interpretation of the story. Which makes sense because many manga-ka started with fan fiction I sat through a panel with Tsuda Masami & the audience kept asking about the anime which was VERY different from the Manga. She said the anime was it's own thing, her Manga was it's own thing, but fans kept asking about the anime. I felt so sorry for her. A lot of manga-ka have said they want the audience to decide how things happen in some instances.

I think that it has some great music but I only mildly like the show itself. It's a 6 out of 10 for me. But I've usually liked anime movies better than anime series. It wasn't until Kaiba and Mononoke came out that I started to get into anime shows more.

Not a top ten for me or anything, but I do think it’s something just about everyone should watch regardless if they’re an animation fan or not. It’s a fun and well done series in many aspects.
