spike and jet be two bounty hunter that live in the far off future . in this future the earth be not under attack by evil robot or anything like that and it just severely mess up due to asteroid constantly smash into it . so mankind life in space and like we always do manage to mess up even space and have criminal run rampant and which be when spike and jet be call in to take down these criminal who run away . spike be tall slender man that love to smoke and have one eye in the future and the other in the past . in the very first episode and we see spike in a violent gun battle against people unknown and and we really do not revisit that event till several episode later . that aspect of show u one thing then move on to the other then return to it be one of the reason why the show be so great . just when you think they forget something or just have a random episode they come back to it and prove you wrong . the non linear approach to the show be great and set it apart from other anime and what make the show great . spike partner be a former cop call jet who have a prosthetic arm . he be a good person but do not count on him to be your guardian angel when you need him most . much like spike and we learn more about him through flashback and begin to understand why he put on that tough exterior that he have . join the two bounty hunter be a sexy woman call fey who doesn not remember anything from her past . she be in a coma and when she wake up and she remember nothing and not even her own name . and like always we also learn more about her a the show move on and see what her make so fey . the last crewmember on this bohemian space ship be a hyperactive girl call ed who a computer genius . she my favorite character on the show and she just cute a hell . what set this fantastic piece of anime apart from others be just how mature and intelligent it be . they do not water down the show so kid can understand and and since their target audience be not kid it give the chance to do whatever they want . the hero in this show aren not pure of heart and and do not walk around catch bad guy because they feel it the right thing to do . they catch bad guy because of money and they live their life the way they want to . spike be a chain smoking man that have in some way give up on the finer thing in life and jet be just a hard as who sometimes have a heart of gold . fey be also not a role model since she dress like a hooker from california and have a gamble addiction . i think the only truly good people on the show be ed and ein the dog and and by make all the character flaw and not perfect they give the show an amazing sense of realism . the episodes mature and wonderfully write with my favorite episode be the real folk blue . the music be also a highlight of the show and be really a surprise . there be a lot of action in the show and you would expect loud brassy music or some bs techno music and but instead what we get be quite and peaceful smooth jazz music . i be never a fan of that type of music but after watch the show i now owe a lot of record from the smooth jazz realm . the creative team behind the show make a very smart move by do that and because we know it an action scene so we do not need loud music to tell u that . the smooth jazz be also an advertising ploy and be heavily advertise in the promos . jazz isn not the only music though a they employ some deep african drum for one episode and some boy choir for another and and soft rock music for a lot of episode . this show along with the superb gundam wing be something i really want to make into a movie and coincidentally the same anime studio make them both . i already have the story pin down and plan to add some more once i think about it . if i be make it right now i would probably cast little dakota fanning a ed and clive owen a spike and jessica alba a fey and the rock a jet and and keanu reef a vicious .
