The OG anime OP. Still amazing to this day.

Kisame

the first episode of Cowboy Bebop is very well done, as far as first episodes of shows go its up there :) great directing, visually captivating, love how well animated it is as well :)

Jeff

Cowboy bebop is a legendary show with a famously top tier soundtrack. Tank (the op song) became so prevalent that it's actually become a jazz standard. They even have high school jazz bands learning this song. This show is a classic. Anime fans talk about bebop the way western tv fans talk about the sopranos, or breaking bad. It's simply timeless. So stoked to watch it again with you.

wow cool to know about the song, CB definitely one of my anime favs

yelloboirick

YES CBs one of my favs of all time, your video setup looks upgraded as well, sweettt!!

Couple things to say, but the most important thing is something that hurt my soul when I started watching this reaction. I watch most anime subbed, but if there were ever any shows to watch dubbed, it’s the ones made by the guy who directed this show, as well as Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy. The director is HEAVILY influenced by American culture, and he himself prefers his creations viewed in English. Cowboy Bebop is renowned for one of the best dubs in all of anime, sitting side by side with Fullmetal Alchemist. The sub is fine, nothing wrong with it, but the dub is iconic, so please switch. I’m surprised no one has said that yet… The other thing I wanted to say is I relate to your experience with Cowboy Bebop, I was the same with Avatar The Last Airbender. I would randomly catch it on tv when I was little but never had the chance to watch it all the way through. Then in high school I remembered it and started having a craving for cool animation, probably after watching the most recent Pixar movie or something, so I finally watched it. That was the start of my hunt for animated shows, and after I finished Avatar, Cowboy Bebop was the first anime I ever watched. It’s solely responsible for my desire to tell unique stories with many interlocked influences. Cowboy Bebop is about bounty hunters in space with a jazz background. Samurai Champloo is about samurai bodyguards with a hip hop soundtrack, set in the 1600’s. Space Dandy… is complicated because every episode was given to a different group of animators, all trying to one up each other, so each episode has its own style and pacing. It was this approach to storytelling that made me study music and writing, and I’m now an author and composer. Every episode of Cowboy Bebop is titled after a famous song, and the band who made the soundtrack would make the songs, and then the animation and episodes would be built around the music. The story was written by the director, but he cared about respecting the music and culture first and foremost… so please watch the dub 🙏 you don’t even need subtitles, the music will carry you if you get lost, and half of the story telling comes from all the small details in the animation. Finally, the space related stuff is still sci-fi, but they put a LOT of effort in making it plausible. Every plot has a real world basis for it, and all the spaceships and traveling through space is given the respect it deserves. They don’t skip out on the details.

Mr. Every

I forgot to mention, Bebop is a type of jazz music. It basically means really experimental and bombastic.

Kirk Murray

Not going to lie. The dubbed version for this particular anime is beyond good. Just throwing that out there.

yelloboirick

Hope you react to the animated movie as well, it doesn't tie to the big story in the series, but it's definitely worth watching, it's supposed to take place between episode 22 and episode 23

I love getting that explanation. When I watched Samurai Champloo, I thought it had such similar vibes and artistic style to Cowboy Bepop. I didn't realize it was directed by the same guy. I totally agree about the dub, I was surprised that two shows as old as these ones had such great dub versions. People are so biased against dubs though. I don't see Flexie ever recording a reaction in dub, which is unfortunate because I think it's better for reactions. I watch another reactor who does Naruto in dub and I really like it.

yelloboirick

Yea I'm cool with whenever as long as she watches it, I think she said she will

spectral.mozzarella

flexie coming to the realization that she is /in/ the culture

Oh nah watching cowboy bebop in Japanese over the dub is crazy but to each their own

Caradoc Elmet

Thank you for watching this in the original language. I know it's mostly down to personal taste but generally, I think, Americans tend to prefer the American dub so most reactions feature that version. I much prefer the Japanese so I'm grateful. The American dub of this is actually not too bad, especially for an older anime series. I don't want anyone to think I'm putting it down. It's the version I first saw on UK television and I enjoyed it. It's just personal taste so I'm not starting an arguement, I'm just giving thanks.

Mr. Every

I know I wrote a long ass comment earlier, but I could have worded it differently. If you truly prefer sub, that’s fine, but I’d at least recommend rewatching the first episode and getting a taste of the dub. Just so it’s not a blind decision.

Eric Winning

man its been maybe 10 years since I watched this series in full, im hype, lets go!

C. Fushiguro

Sub?? Cowboy Bebop dub is legendary

Chris Jarrett

Tank is that Goat anime OP (imo of course). Funny enough never seen the sub so this'll be interesting--like other folks say, the dub is great. Fairly certain I saw the movie in sub though, haha.

KazumaSpitfire

First time watcher of Cowboy Bebop here, I liked episode 1 more than 2. If I had to take issue with any of part of the show I'd say I'm not a huge fan of episodic anime with self-contained plots in a single episode, but I'll keep watching these reactions as its a good opportunity to watch a so-called classic.

An actual SUBBED reaction to Cowboy Bebop? I am as shocked as I am pleased. The Dub is good, but only really in comparison to most other Dubs, many of the line deliveries still come off as rushed and awkward in English, despite the VA's being really good.

Bambi

omg wait i saw this on adult swim too the opening just sent 1000yrs of memories flooding into my brain

gusttafa

top notch animation

BoyBovine

Setting up the series as a serial was intentional by the artist. A bounty of the weak thing, while trickling in an overarching story.

Mintspringbok

Bebop is a style of music, a lot of the themes in this show, including the main theme during the intro, are examples of it. It's basically a style of Jazz.

Mune Yotsuki

...Oh no, you didn't watch the dub.

Ezra Solomone

I have a soft spot for the dubbed version, since it was my first experience of anime on adult swim, and now i prefer subs, but the dubbed version of this show is objectively amazing.

Paul Golabowski

Honestly, the music in Cowboy Bebop is as much a part of the cast as Spike or Jet or any of the others. I don't care what the anime is, if Yoko Kanno did the soundtrack I'm going to check it out...

EHelström

Found this one while waiting for the next One Piece reaction. If you like the music of Cowboy Bebop, you might want to check Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Same composer.

Alain Orozco

The dub is superior because the VA did a great job and it fits the esthetic best. Can’t say that about a lot of anime.

Matthew G

My favorite anime and my favorite reactor. I watch this show once a year. I put this one off because I was a little mad that you reacted to the sub and not the dub but as amazing as the dub is and as iconic as the English VAs are, I've never seen the sub so i thought why not watch it with Flexie. And I'm glad I made that choice. After ep 1 Im hooked on the JP VAs and seeing your reaction for the first time, its like I'm watching a new show with a friend. I'm glad you're enjoying it and as a musician your reactions to the music thrill me. I cant wait to see more. When you said "What is happening to me right now?" during ep 2 I felt that. Thanks for being a light in my time of need. See you Space Cowgirl

ShinShakti

This is the kind of anime that you can watch endless times and catch more details, and more elements of foreshadowing and meaning within every scene. It just keeps getting better the more you watch it, and that is the mark of a truly incredible story. Personally I've watched Bebop over 100 times, though usually in English as the VAs are just legendary. Super thrilled to enjoy it yet again, especially with Flexie's reaction!
