Prior to this, I had see about three of the episodes when it was showing on Cartoon Network, and had enjoyed every one.  I had also seen the movie, \u201cKnocking On Heaven\u2019s Door\u201d when it showed on one of the movie channels to which I subscribe (<span class=\"caps\">HBO<\/span> or Starz, can\u2019t remember which).  I can now say I\u2019m a huge fan of this series and will be watching it again and again.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m calling this one an off-beat space cyberpunk sort of series.  It mixes space action (Spike and his Swordfish craft), bounty hunting, and a little cyberpunk (provided by Edward the hacker).  The stories all stand on their own, but also weave together a sub-plot around each character\u2019s past through the series.  The drawing style is phenomenally cinematic, and the animation is very high quality.  The music and soundtrack also add a lot to the atmosphere.  I love the opening and closing themes, especially (I need to hack them into ring tones for my phone).<\/p>\n<p>In a way, it reminds me a bit of the \u201cFirefly\u201d TV series (which I also own) in its tone, setting and character development.  If you liked \u201cFirefly\u201d I believe you will also enjoy \u201cCowboy Bebop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I picked up my copy, by the way, at RightStuf.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just got through watching the last episode, and it was even better than I expected.
