Cowboy Bebop

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

:wink:

I wouldnā€™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 coolā€¦

Iā€™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 Iā€™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 canā€™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 watchā€¦

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 itā€™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 havenā€™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! Itā€™s called ā€œTankā€ if you ever want to listen to it on youtube or something! But it sure is kick-ass! :smiley: And thereā€™s a lot of great songs on the soundtracks! But ā€œTankā€ sure is one of my favorites!

Iā€™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. Itā€™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:

Iā€™ve never seen it, sorry!

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

Not sure how much Iā€™d appreciate a live action adaptationā€¦
Itā€™s rare that something which is popular in one medium can survive the transition to another, unless itā€™s a really popular franchise.

Iā€™ll have to keep my eye on thisā€¦

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 canā€™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. Sheā€™s many other amazing soundtracks as well, such as Vision of Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss War, Memories: Magnetic Rose andā€¦ well those are really only the other two Iā€™ve seen.

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