i think the best way to begin this would be not to thank but to bear hug and the creative genius who create this piece of art . i mean everything about this show be fking perfect the character and the plot and the direction and the music and the screenplay and the script . it a perfect example of when all the thing come together to make something that be large than the creator themselves . i do not know how i stumble across the page of cowboy bebop but it must have one my lucky day . i have to say i be not intrigue from the plot as much a from the character and which i read about in the comment . my expectation from the show be pretty low despite the rating but man when i watch it first two episode and even the 9 . 4 rating seem an insult . and it be that good . you would fill with awe for it creator after you watch it . you would even love the cowboy bebop sign that come in between the show . the best thing about the show be that be have no specific genre and or you can say it a genre in itself . i wont have the slight doubt if the show get a cult status . so you never know whats gon na come out in the next scene and whether you will be convulse with laughter or staring at the screen in empathy for one of the character . a the show go on and on and you keep on go deep into the skin of the character . you do not know when it happen that the character just occupy a permanent space in your head . you start to wish that they be always around . with a bore spike smoke his cigarette and jet water his plant and sulky faye with her frown and industrious ed jump around with his laptop . and when the show end and i actually felt a part of my life go away . and i bet you will feel the same way when the show end . you will stare into the eye of spike and say no this be not go to happen and i wont let you go . it a rare feeling for someone in real life but it almost impossible for someone in reel life . so my respect to shinichiro wantanbe from the bottom of my heart for direct the show so perfectly and congratulation to hajami yatate for write something so perfect in itself . and kobayashi and yoko kanno and no man i ain not forget them either . the show wouldn not have be complete without their music which encompass everything from jazz to metal to blue to country to electronic . i urge everyone who read this comment to watch this show . doesn not matter if youre not an anime fan . this show be apiece of art and it must not be miss . and if youre an anime fan and then you wont be see something as great a this in a long time . i guess if you take my word and then youre in for one of your lucky day of your life . see you imdb cowboy .
