cowboy bebop be and accord to some and one of the best anime ever . it a classic and a required viewing for any anime fan . it the best because it have multiple layer storytelling and a freely flowing story and and so on . i be call it a it be . cowboy bebop be the most over stretched and plodding and boring and ( insert curse word which begin with c and end with p here plus py ) big piece of ( insert curse word which begin with s and end with t here ) anime i have ever see . my gripe be a follow represent 1. the story be original and yes . but and shinichiro watanabe aim too high with it and and it come out a piece of ( insert curse word which begin with c and end with p here ) . all episode be over stretched and full of various story line to the point that theyre and actually and incredibly boring and utterly dull . 2. the character be ( insert curse word which begin with f and end with k here ) annoy . spike come off a a big idiot who be only capable of sleep and eat and his fighting ability appear force so that mr. watanabe wouldn not be stick with the dumb lead character since that ( insert follow curse word represent combine the one which begin with s and end with t plus the british slang one which be a plus r plus s plus e ) from dna2 . that ed person be even more annoying represent i couldn not tell until the movie if the character be male or female . pretty much every character annoy me to a certain extent and the only exception be jet . sidenote represent isn not it quite odd that no character have a japanese name . 3. the story move along at the exact pace of a wounded snail try to escape from under a tire in slow motion . in short represent it too ( insert curse word which begin with f and end with k plus ing here ) slow . if youre a webcomic fan and think megatokyo and and you get the picture ( if youre not a webcomic fan and think about the old modem connection in the 1990s . those be really really slow ) not only that and but there be too many story line which intersect at once and again and slow down the show horribly and make it look both haphazard and plodding and directionless . the only thing i like about the series be it soundtrack by yoko kanno ( and sometimes yoko kanno band the seatbelt ) . no and really and you should just throw away your dvd and settle for the soundtrack cd . this be the only thing that matter . it remind me strongly of the old blue brother movie . which in essence be good and but it good that it dosen not consist of just funk or blue stuff . it also get electronic and trip hop thing . in conclusion represent cowboy bebop be just about as entertaining a star a sack of ( insert curse word which begin with s and end with t here ) while paint dry in the background . i be still amaze how this absolutely horrible thing get so many accolade from people .
