Cowboy Bebop

Any other Cowboy Bebop fans out there in Pixar Planet Land? Or am I the only one?? :open_mouth:

:wink:

I wouldn’t call myself a fan, but I have quite enjoyed Cowboy Bebop.
Then again, I probably am a ā€œToys in the atticā€-fan. That episode is just too cool for words. :wink:

I love Cowboy Bebop, so freaking cool…

I’ve only seen a handful of episodes and some of the movie, but I really want to see the whole series as I liked what I saw, and I’ve heard such great things about it.

I remember seeing a Cowboy/Die Hard With A Vengeance mash-up trailer once, and it looked unbelievably awesome!

Plus, you can’t get better than a cool mercenary and his team of guns-for-hire traveling the galaxies leaving mayhem in their wake! I should give this a watch…

Haha great to see that there are a few who watch it! I first saw the cowboy bebop movie, before the series, and I fell in love with it. Because it’s not like any other anime series. The style is different. The story is very VERY unique and the fact that they use jazz-influenced music is just icing on the cake! :smiley:

I watched it again recently. Forgot how sad some of the scenes were.

:frowning:

I haven’t ever seen an episode, but they used to play it (or maybe they still do) after Good Game on ABC 2. The theme song is kick-ass.

Hahaha yeah I know I love it! It’s called ā€œTankā€ if you ever want to listen to it on youtube or something! But it sure is kick-ass! :smiley: And there’s a lot of great songs on the soundtracks! But ā€œTankā€ sure is one of my favorites!

I’ve GOT to see this. :open_mouth:

Anyone seen Samurai Champloo as well? The story takes place in ancient Japan but with hip-hop music and incorporated modern elements. It’s not as good as Bebop but still interesting. Bebop is about facing the past but has a sci-fi setting and older music, and Champloo is about the possibility of the future but told in a historic setting with modern music. :slight_smile:

I’ve never seen it, sorry!

A live action movie is in development with Keanu Reeves as Spike.

Not sure how much I’d appreciate a live action adaptation…
It’s rare that something which is popular in one medium can survive the transition to another, unless it’s a really popular franchise.

I’ll have to keep my eye on this…

Wow, how did I miss this topic?

I lurve me some Bebop. Excellent show, and one of my fave animes.

I absolutely love Cowboy Bebop! I actually started watching the show a while ago and I can’t believe how phenomenal the jazz soundtrack is! As soon as I heard the full version of TANK! my head exploded.

FYI, The soundtrack is done by the fabulous Yoko Kanno. She’s many other amazing soundtracks as well, such as Vision of Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss War, Memories: Magnetic Rose and… well those are really only the other two I’ve seen.

Yeah, I know her and I’ve actually seen her and The Seatbelts perform live before. It was AH-SOME!
