like the name suggest and music be central to this show . instead of an opening theme you be hit with tank . and right away you know it about cool . the score supply by kanno be phenomenal . the man be to jazz and anime what john williams be to classical movie score . the series have a hint of a 70 and retro and kung fu movie or shaft feel and particularly early on and drive home the cool feeling . this be just an undertone to the western feel in which clint eastwood would be at home . from all of this and the aspect that truly make this series wonderful be the quiet desperation . the three principal character be utterly flaw though superlative . they be all desperately search for piece miss from their life with a pain and loneliness that drive them together and make them sympathetic to the end . break bounty hunter and barely able to find enough money to eat yet unable to be anything but compassionate stoke this sympathy even far . the two minor lead and ed and ein and be genius at what they do and but a child without a care in the world and a dog that can not speak be wonderful comic relief and consequently very endear . this series be a tour of history come back to torment the character and and the interplay of relationship be magic almost never see there be no need for exposition and out of place statement . the science fiction be neither overbear nor unbelievable . space be a fringe wilderness and and the western feel be totally appropriate . in fact and it be a mix rarely see so well only the firefly series come to mind . this be definitely a series for a more adult audience subtle character interaction and and no fear of blood and vice and or lack of action . at the same time and young teen to adult will enjoy it if for no other reason than the cool factor .
