Japanese animation made in 1998 by Sunrise and Bandai Visual. Highly popular in the United States via Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late night program for its excellent combination of story, characters, visuals, and soundtrack.
Story:
Basically a line of 26 "stand-alone" episodes loosely linked by an underlying story based on the characters' pasts, and mainly about their bounty-hunting adventures throughout the solar system in 2071 A.D. Good inclusion of humor also added.
Characters: (The 4 main)
Spike Spiegel:
Former gangster (of the Martian "Red Dragon" Chinese Mafia) and Jet Black's partner. Pilots his Swordfish II MONO fighter, has green fuzzy hair, smokes. Also hates kids, animals, and women with attitude.(Corresponding characters below)
Jet Black:
Former I.S.S.P. (Inter Solar System Police) member who lost his left arm in a past incident and owner of both the BEBOP ship and his MONO combat ship the Hammerhead. Is real old-fashioned and quite a man of morals. Smokes too.
Faye Valentine:
A heavy gambling woman who appears young (through cryogenic hibernation) but is actually older than she looks, and is in serious debt to the hospital that suspended her. Has amnesia from an accident in her past, and is very irritable. Also a smoker.
Ed(Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV):
The crazy, eccentric, yet brilliant all at the same time hacker from Earth. Claims to be 13 and is often confused for a boy. Built and named her own computer "Tomato". Is the only non-smoker beside the unique dog Ein.
Visuals:
A good mix of 2-D animation and at times 3-D CGI(Computer Graphic Imagery) to provide the visually stunning sci-fi action.
Soundtrack:
Perhaps the best backdrop for the entire series. With music composed by reknowned composer Yoko Kanno, her expertise in the American fields of jazz and blues and performed by the SEATBELTS and various other artists, Cowboy Bebop is among the best in the combination of these elements.

In my personal opinion, I respect it as an art form which takes into consideration great multicultural and respected influences (maybe except for the booze and smoke)to add to its satisfying entertainment.

For starters, watch the first episode of COWBOY BEBOP "Asteroid Blues" either on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (USA) or on DVD.

Get the COWBOY BEBOP mug.One of the hands down best anime series ever created. Follows the story of two bounty hunters (Jet and Spike), a woman (Faye Valentine), a young orphaned female hacker (Ed), and a partially robotic dog (Ein). The art and music are flawless, the characters are realistic and interesting, and the plots and numerous sub-plots are unique, original, and all around amazing. If oyu haven't seen this show watch Adult Swim at 1:30 am, then buy all the dvd's of it you can find. Also buy the soundtrack/s, the musical score is amazing.

Bebbo • bebbolicious • Auto-preggo-bebbo-maker • beebo • bebop • belbows • beeboo • babbo • bebbies • bebble
(noun.) A term used to describe someone who is extremely passionate about the BBC to the extent of defending the BBC to the point of the indefensible. Commonly, a Beeboid will hold left-leaning/socialistic/communist views which more often than not will cloud their judgement on debates regarding the BBC.
A Beeboid will often frequent internet forums and newspaper comment sections searching for comments which might show the BBC in a bad light. A pre-defined list of counter-arguments will then be used in an attempt to restore (often, in vain) credibility in the BBC.
Beeboids are known for talking gibberish and often become very incoherent and lose focus of the topic in-hand when legitimate concerns are raised about the BBC.

Geez, I just tried having a constructive debate with a Beeboid about how unfair the TV Licence is, and he became extremely rude and lost the plot... I think he needs professional help.

Get the Bebop mug.The only decent animé on Australian TV, and perhaps American (I wouldn't know). Each episode's plot is generally different to each other episode. Action, entertainment and a small hint of comedy. Cowboy Bebop has it all.

Get the Cowboy Bebop mug.A person who bides their time to take revenge at the most opportune moment.
An unforgiving grudge bearer who may wait as long as several years before deciding the time is right to return given suffering.
Bebbs are usually strong believers in the old "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" way. But some go further and pay back with interest.
