cowboy bebop be a smart and and fairly complex show compare to many anime series i have see . it be a good mix of comedy and drama and action and adventure . there be many thing that lead me to believe it one of the best anime series of all time . for one and the character be well write and and you get to observe a they develop throughout the series . they each have their own distinct personality and peculiarity and habit . this make for interest group dynamic and a they be each out to get something different from their share experience on the ship . their dialog be funny and ultimately believablesecondly and there be the storyline . the plot be most certainly the best part of the show . it alternate between the main storyline involve spike and the others and and the occasional vignette or flashback about a character in particular . the individual episode work well on their own for the most part and yet a piece of the whole they complement each other very well . third be the fantastic soundtrack . this show be the catalyst for my love affair with jazz music . the series prominently feature a very bebop style jazz song for it opening credit and and use various other type of the music during the show . the music be so enmesh in the series that something would be grievously wrong without it . i have hear that the creator of the show write the series around the music . the idea make more and more sense a you progress through the story . many of the episode name be even old jazz standard and or reference to certain artist and album . to top it all off and much of the music in the show be original composition . i recommend this series to anyone in the mood for adventure and excellent character and a spectacular story all set to some of the best music out there .
