To the ignorant masses, Cowboy Bebop must be watched (+ a request) - Page 2

I didn't like anime.
I watched Cowboy Bebop.
I like anime.
Watch Coboy Bebop.
Anime does not negate one's coolness.

In all seriousness, I used to think that anime was kind of looser-ish; but after watching Cowboy Bebop and then some more serious anime, it all made sense. There are some seriously good, creative concepts and stories in anime series/flicks. Some of them kick the asses of most regular films that are produced nowadays; quality-wise.

I liked the series a lot, but thought the movie was terrible. See the series, in the proper order. Skip the movie. This was my first intro to anime too, and it gave me hope for the style that wasn't always realized in later stuff I saw. But this is fun and worth seeing.

Bebop from TMNT has his own show?

Yeah, he realized he had been carrying Rocksteady long enough and decided to go it alone.

Cowboy Bebop is like #4 on my list of anime, behind Full Metal Alchemist first and foremost. What a great show FMA is.

While your at it download Naruto(its pretty decent lots of fillers but when there is action its decent) , Bleach(you guys will [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] this show, nonstop piss you off cliffhangers)
Full metal panic is good, and if you can find it Samurai Seven was amazing. Also Blood is a new one recently started watching.

Most of those are action comedy packed, if you dont 10 table it makes good way to waste time in those early rounds [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yeah. It's a shame it ended so early. I still felt like the series only made it like a quarter of the way through its story arc. There was so much more to tell, like almost everything. Then suddenly it was over. WTF? What a shame.

It's not over yet, they're making a movie.

That's sorta cool I guess, but I'd rather have more episodes in the series. The whole thing seems to be one of those things that really needs to expand over time rather than be crammed into a single hour and a half movie. I hope the movie doesn't bring down the concept as much as the Cowboy Bebop one did for that series.

A second movie? They already have one in addition to the series (which is definitely cool).

I never really like anime much either (didn't despise it) but adult swim has had some pretty kick ass series on.

FMA isn't over, the new season started like 3 weeks ago. Or are you talking about Bebop? Bebop definitely could have done more quality shows without jumping the shark.
