The
English may be a bit jumbled, but the message in the Cowboy Bebop
promos effectively captures the essence of the series. Cowboy Bebop
is the tale of a futuristic maverick, Spike Spiegel, a space cowboy
and his band of partners (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Edward,
and lets not forget Ein the dog), as they race across the galaxy
on daring adventures. They are Bounty Hunters struggling to survive in
a world that is a strange combination of past, present, and future. There
are fantastic space crafts and interstellar casinos side by side
with droopy sombreros and slow traffic lights. With each new bounty that
they go after, new characters are introduced, and new cosmic landscapes
are explored. The series is episodic, as Spike Spiegel heads off
on a new quest each week to secure a new prize. There is action galore,
moments of dry humor, and an incredible blend of computer and traditional
animation. Spike's adventures are set to the very music that the
series attempts to capture the spirit of- fabulous BEBOP. The music
is such an important part of the series that it just wouldn't be the same
without it. All in all, Cowboy Bebop offers a spectacular blend
of adventure, humor, music, and drama! |
