Spike Spiegel, a bounty Hunter with a dark past, lives on bounty to bounty, barely making it each time, or not making it at all. His partners Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein the dog all help him in his adventures from planet to planet.
Its 26 episodes ("sessions") comprise a complete storyline: set in 2071, the series follows the misadventures and tragedies of a group of bounty hunters, or "cowboys”, traveling on their spaceship, the Bebop. Cowboy Bebop centers around American music and counterculture, especially the beat and jazz movements of the 1940s-60s and the early rock era of the 1950s-70s, which the original soundtrack by Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts recreates.

One of the greatest anime ever invented. The blend of action, style, music, and plot is completely amazing. The show flows smooth as water right through the end.

It's basically an anime about 4 bounty hunters named Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine, Jet Black and Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (felt I had to add the name) and their dog, Ein. The episodes have nothing to do with each other, but it is still good (those who think otherwise are narrow-minded asses). It's got violence, cursing, Mafias, music, everything! I seriously suggest finding out more about it via internet and watching it! The movie's good, too.

Film noir at its best. Perfect cinematography, drawings, amazing character development, and the music is flawless. The truth is i hated anime until i watched this. Its like watching a Kubrick or Zhang Yimou movie. Btw trigun sucks and DBZ i dont even have to mention. If u hate anime watch this and tell me again.

Possibly the greatest anime ever created! You don't need to know anymore because it is so awesome, in fact, that your eyes will literally cum at the end of each episode!!!

I was amazed when I watched a whole Japanese show and none of the characters changed shape and got all gay and round. I've seen two episodes and I'm addicted to Cowboy Bebop.
