This anime takes its name from both the cowboys, which are bounty hunters when it comes to this series in particolar, and bebop, or bebop jazz, a particular sub-genre of jazz that formed around the year 1940 in the united states of america and which also characterizes the whole soundtrack of the anime, both inside the episodes with its OSTs and outside the episodes with the upbeat and catchy opening track.

The world this anime is set into is pretty much a mix of both western and sci-fi elements, with spaceships flying all over the solar system like it’s an everyday road across the country yet planets that keep a culture and a setting typical of the nineties. The main characters of the series form a gang of bounty hunters made up of a surly man, a hothead that can’t keep calm, a woman that wants no relationships with anyone, a hacker kid which is both euphoric and restless and a really smart dog that serves no purpose to the plot other than comic relief.

The anime is really good if you ask me, both for its extremely smooth animations of the characters themselves, a thing that has now-days been lost to time, and in the backgrounds, which are hand-drawn on paper.

Personally, I would’ve hoped for this series to have been longer but, then again, good series are often really short when it comes to anime.

I really appreciated the subtle reference to the sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov in the first episode, consisting of the criminal with the same name that is shown in the episode.

More often than not, this series tries to convey a philosophical message by making you think about the characters morals and, at times, even life itself, while also making the characters say some really profound phrases, almost mimicking old detective movies or western movies, just for the heck of it and to make you smile.

A whole bunch of episodes that can be considered filler are more interesting than the actual narrative arcs themselves, and it’s a real bummer that the characters contained in them are not going to be used in the series itself. An example of this is

I find the ending to be very good,

That being said, hey there, this is my first review on here. I choose to review this anime because I find it to be a good anime that I recently saw and have lots to talk about, and which I must recommend.
See you space cowboy
