Abetterreality's Cowboy Bebop Tv Review
Rated:
The first thing that strikes one about Cowboy Bebop is the impressive combination of sound and visuals. The intro sequence alone is snazzy, artistic, and very much in synch with the show's overall theme. But that's just the wrappings of a very cool package. It's a bizarre mix, and not generally a coherent one. It tends to resemble a random grab-bag of American and Japanese TV icons, tossed into a blender that's set on puree. But it's fast, frantic, and very funny, the animation is top-notch, and Lupin fans at least will find the characters warmly familiar. In many ways, this is like seeing the Lupin cast zapped into a slightly grimmer--if no less silly--future. The only question is, where's Spike's Zenigata? Cowboy Bebop is definitely not for everyone.

Muffincakes' Cowboy Bebop Tv Review
Rated:
As far as originality, Bebop is spot on. It does at times remind me of Tenchi Universe, but that's only because the space ships are kind of similar (Tenchi Universe beats Bebop though). Robin Witchhunter had a very similar vibe about it, and the humor is almost identical between the two (Robin being slightly less humorous than Bebop, of course.)
The feeling is vintage 1990’s anime meets old school tech, and the innovation on the settings and characters is very pleasing. Bebop is definitely original.
The humor of Bebop isn’t usually slap stick, but more of a dry, intelligent type. Mature as it can be, the humor does change for most of the characters. The funniest character by far would have to be Ed with her crazy talk, and Spike is sarcastically witty to boot.
