i'm no fan of bebop either,there is barely any plot in it for me to care,it's just random action scenes for the entire thing,i could say the same of trigun tough i guess i like trigun music more
This is something I've never understood.
And it's always the people who like stories that want to hold your hand who say it.
Bebpo has a plot, but it's subdued compared to the general story, which is about the universe the story takes place in. The crime, the mobsters, the culture, the worlds, their cities, the sciene experiments. I think Bebop is about humanity and it tries to envision what things would be like if we (as in humans) successfully made colonies in space. I like how refreshing the setting is: I've noticed that in many sci-fi settings, everything looks sleek and high tech, but A LOT of Bebop looks poor and downtrodden. It does this successfully without appearing to be a cyberpunk as well.
Cowboy Bebop still remains the best anime tv series in my eyes.
The direction, writing, dialogue, music, setting, characters, story, plot, themes are such a cut above most standard anime tv series that it's ridiculous. Only few, to me, really stand up to it and that's stuff like Now and Then, Here and There.
Goddamn, I'm turning this into a Bebop thread.

I'd rather rewatch Cowboy Bebop than watch a new anime.
