Ahh cowboy bebop, the greatest scifi-wester-noir-samurai-mafia show ever

The hard thing is, it's difficult to find an anime with the same vibe or on par with cowboy beebop. especially among present animes.

"...each member of the Bebop are walking vulnerabilities wrapped up in defense mechanisms."

I love how no mentions the fact that Spike's job is to catch people who are running from their past.

Watching Cowboy Bebop is a ritual. I'm so inclined to prepare some bell peppers and beef.

Jet was the only one that was a complete person, he was the glue that held the gang together as long they did.

Documentaries on KZfaq are now beginning to become as professional, if not much more, than mainstream documentaries. KZfaqrs such as Ahoy and Beyond Ghibli should be an inspiration to would be creators of the documentary genre.

Cryed like a baby when bebop ending and everyone went their own ways. Great show.

"You're gonna carry that weight" That line from the Beatles sums up the whole thing for me... Ed is the young/innocent, unburdened by the weight. Fey refuses to carry the weight, recklessly barrelling away from human connection. Jett is the old dog who grimly accepts the weight as a part of life. (Spoiler) And Spike's weight is so heavy that he can't help but buckle under it.

It's like a broken family you can't help but turn back to in sad, happy, intense and somber times. _see you space cowboy_

Cowboy Bebop is the reason why I became an artist and draftsman, it served as inspiration and engine to encourage me to create based on my feelings and passions. A series with a depth level of themes like no other and a master soundtrack . Its the reason why always listen the 3 soundtracks every time a can , it leaves with that impact as a teen in 2000 when a watched in that moment . See you Space Cowboy forever

The ending of session 24 for me is the most powerful moment in the whole series.

Bebop is timeless, but even moreso it gets better with age. As we grow further away from our first viewing and change as individuals, the world and the eyes we see it with morphing into unimaginable oblivion, the contrast between Bebop and the anime released in the present will become sharper, and because of the nostalgia, this will only be welcomed with open arms by our hearts and minds. Just like the original viewers of Bebop when it first aired who were hit by a wave of outdated music and cinema that so drastically contrasted with the pop/hip hop/punk/techno that was popular at the time - it'll continue to take us on the most refreshing yet also the most familiar of journeys. Long live Cowboy Bebop.

I hope Netflix backs out on the remake, there’s no way they’ll get it right.

I just finished re-watching Bebop with my 10-year-old daughter (her first time). Man, Bebop’s special-I’d bet a number of us will get to pass it down, like Led Zep and Star Wars were passed down to us. Oh, and for sub purists: that’s one of the big advantages of dubs-they’re easier to share with your kids.

I cant tell you how many times I remember watching Adult Swim as a teenager, half asleep and then Tank! comes on, Cowboy Bebop was on, and I would watch it in my half-asleep stupor. The feeling is one unlike any Ive ever felt since. What a fantastic time it truly was

As of right now this has 8,369 views and no dislikes. That tells you how much the community is behind you on this.

9:40 "Because there's just that chemistry and just that kind of...alchemic-" *drops everything to clap hands together*

The Beyond Ghibli title cards were fantastic. What I love the most about Bebop is the music. It's just spectacular. Second thing I love most is that it ENDS after one season. All other shows just keep going forever until you get sick of them.

Every time I hear someone say 3... 2... 1... I always want to say "Let's Jam".

I don't think there is any other video that depicts Cowboy Bebop with such love. Thank you for your work :)

I just want you to know that it's not okay to play with people's hearts like this, just like the show your review ended too quickly. Faye I miss you girl.

This show has only made me sadder as I've gotten older...I finally understand. ~= You're gonna carry that weight=~

Watanabe's debut was actually MACROSS PLUS (1994). In fact, if you look at the character designs in those you'll see similarities to Faye, Julia, and even Spike.

I could listen to people eruditely sing the praises of Cowboy Bebop all day long.

"Pierrot Le Fou" is by far my favorite episode hands down

The Clint Eastwood references ,Bruce Lee,Batman,among so many other things all mixed in such a perfect harmony

it's hard to capture how insanely cool this was when we all first saw it back in the day. it was a revelation

One of these days, we're going to have fully immersive VR. You know where you can find me, when that happens.

About time someone delivered the comprehensive overview Cowboy Bebop deserved. Every other review I've seen has been a broken record, only describing the same one or two keypoints regarding the show's "maturity".

"Ganymede Elegy" and "Hard Luck Woman" have some of the most touching scenes I've seen in a series or film, I get choked up just thinking about those ones.

I just remember feeling empty at the end. I still don't get it.

“The seatbelts - road to the west” what a soulful song

Hey, if you dug this check out my spoiler-filled follow up discussing Bebop's ending: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMuJhbWdyq2po5c.html

One of my all time favorites. I watch it every time it’s on.

Finished watching cowboy bebop for the first time the other day. Couldn't stop thinking how much the vibes and style and feel of the soundtrack (even though most of the music is diferent genres) reminded me of samurai champloo, so it's awesome finding out that watanabe is the guy behind both. Instant fan here

I let my son, 11 or 12 at the time, watch Bebop and at the end he started weeping. "It's ok. Spike might not actually be dead." I said, but there was no stopping those tears. That's how vetted, how connected you get to these characters. When I told my friends he cried at the end almost all of them said, "Yeah. That's the appropriate response." Such a great production.

The sound effects and audio tracks that were replaced in the remastered were so different and foreign to me that I recut the remaster footage with the original 4:3 release audio.. yes .. I love Cowboy Bebop this much. It pains me to know others are watching it for the first time without that original beautiful audio

My favorite anime ever. Such good artists, directors, producers and writers! Nothing like Cowboy Bebop. Nothing!

Hi. I watched this video few weeks ago and you convinced me to watch Cowboy Bebob. I came back to say Thak You. I haven't seen many anime in my life, and I haven't seen non in my chirdhood, so I wasn't fan of it. But this series is absolutely magnificent. You said in this video that Bebop is worth rewatching and I thought this is an exaggeration of anime fan but just when I finished 26 session, I wanted to start waching it from begining. Thank You!

"Its snarling jazz soundtrack was (if you'll excuse the pun) instrumental in thematically grounding the series." I will not excuse the pun. Own it like a man! "No pun intended" is a sign of weakness of character.

This is the greatest love letter to the greatest anime. It made my heart ache.

Beyond echoing all the good stuff heaped on this video (deservedly), I'd also like to thank you for the shout-out to Serenity/Firefly, which got done dirty by the network but at least we got a movie.

Having watched the show multiple times in each language, I would highly recommend watching both. Multiple times. In each language.

Loving the title, loving the thumbnail. Loving this channel.

I come back to this video every few months to revisit one of, if not, the best video about one of the best shows I've seen. I can't thank you enough for making something so beautiful.

The best part of Bebop is that even today it continues to introduce people to anime. It was my first anime in 2015, and is always the first one I recommend to people who want to get into anime

Beyond Ghibli - inadvertently serving as an anchor, an outpost, and now a frontier Fort and Station, for those of us in certain tribes we know within, but have yet to Name and, later, raise our Flag for. happy yer here . . . Space Coyboys .:. . . p.s. @14:36 one of a dozen dozen candidates for our future Flag to emerge

i actually cant put into words how much i love this show. my all time favorite piece of media ever made. even watching this, hearing the music, puts a smile on my face. i watch it a few times a year.

Bepop was my introduction into Anime, Dandy was the cement that is my love for this artstyle. So damm good.

I don't know how many times i've watched Cowboy Bebop, but everytime i see it, i feel a pain deep in my chest, like a sentiment of nostalgia, like something that was always there, comforting me in my most introspect and philosophical moments of my teenagehood. It was the reason i started listening to jazz and blues at the age of 15 and became absolutely addicted to the genres since then. Puting the shounen aside that were born in the final of the 90s (in this case, the "big three"), Cowboy Bebop is definatly the greatest anime i've ever watched in my life, just like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and so many other animes that try to defy the greatest dogmas of society, and defy the civilization trough it's expectators, us of course. And as strange as it might seem, i've always preferred the subs over the dubs, always, not because the english language is not my native language, but because i've always prefer the series in their original content, however Bebop is the only show that i have that is in it's dub version, don't know why but the only way i can see it is in the american version like there's some inexplicable reason to it. Beyond Ghibli i just found out about you and your channel today and the only thing that comes to my mind to say about what you do is - "Tank" you. PS - You've just gained a new subscriber.

You got the theme and story line correct. You got the undertones and feeling right. You incorporated our favorite crew from the 'Verse, you did all the music right, and you finished with Wo Qui Non Coin... This is perfect. Thank You

I’m not crying, you are... this was beautiful , thank you

Such a great summary of Bebop and its impact! Thanks for putting this together

this is a really well written video essay! very accurate and deep without spoiling a thing too

Man I just watched space dandy (first time), samurai champloo (first time) and Cowboy Bebop (second or third time can't remember) within a span of a month. After watching all of them, it is hard to pick which one is better but Bebop definitely hit me with the feels the most. My perception of the show has changed with every viewing. My first time was when I was a little shit in middle school. I absolutely loved it and hated that it was over, but I missed the point of the show. This time I just felt empty and depressed after the end of it. Nothing lasts forever, you can't run from your past, and you can't hide your vulnerabilities from other people. Still need to rewatch the movie, but goddamn, there are few shows that force introspection like this one. The main thing I can take away from this is you can always mend the past no matter the hardship, cause you're gonna carry that weight.

This brought such a smile to my face. Haven’t watched it in years, but it’s such an magnificent story and great show.

Watching this is still better than all 10hours of the live action combined.

Cowboy bebop is one of the few anime that you appreciate even more so years after watching it the first time ⚡️

See you Space Cowboy!

Your structure of this video has not gone unnoticed, beautiful work man. I'm legit having goosebumps watching this.

Man, the way you write is so inspiring. So glad to have found your channel.

what i loved about this anime was the depth it had from the start to its inconclusive end. so much emotions ran within the series, and it felt like i lost a friend once i finished it.

This is without a doubt the finest retrospective I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Thank you for reminding me of all those wonderful late night adult swim viewings.

Your style of writing, editing and critical eye makes your videos almost equal to the anime’s that you are discussing. In some cases (Miss Hokusai) I’ve preferred your videos and hearing you discusss the movies more than I enjoyed the movies themselves. You are real talent and I think it’s only a matter of time until you break out of KZfaq...

I'm biased as someone who loves this show unabashedly, but this is one of your best videos. I am so excited for the Evangelion one!

Can I just say the title of this is freaking fantastic? I love it because it really fits the style of Bebop as almost a future age western.

I always heard of Cowboy Bebop thru my life. I just finished watching all episodes on 2019. I regret not watching it before, it left me wanting more and feels like watching it again and again. The Dub work was quite amazing.

Bravo! A great reminder to the fans of the series and a recommendation to those who haven't seen it yet. Thank you!

bloody hell mate, this video is beautiful, thank you so very much *hands him a fistful of woolongs*

This gave me the same feelings as when I first watched this show all over again. Well said- I couldn't pin down what that feeling I got from Bebop was, but I think you're right. It's "belonging". I got so invested and immersed in the characters and world that I felt like I was actually there, another member of their dysfunctional little family haha.. I just finished watching this show, but already I'm longing for a rewatch.

How the hell does this not have multiple millions of views. This is such a quality video

And now I'm crying all over my keyboard. Thank you for reminding me how much I love this show. Great essay.

You deserve millions of views, absolutely stunning work. Love every single one of your videos.

That was great. I got the same feeling I have when I watch the last few minutes of the finale, or when I hear the song Space Lion.

Woooooow, this video really made me wanna go back and rewatch Bebop. It's been more than 5 years so I'm long overdue. Also, can't wait for that Berserk video next! Thanks for making these video essays!

That first episode sets the bar so high than continually exceeds it and each consecutive watch feels fresh, few shows are capable of this and when found need to be coveted;P Favorite episode: Mushroom Samba Runner up: Toys in the Attic Favorite Character: Ed Anyone else want to post their faves?

Thank you Beyond Ghibli for making a video on my favorite series of all time. All love. This anime touched me in a personal level because I can relate to spike and the rest of the cast because the anime display thier suffering through unique ways of story telling. The story is deep and unique in so many ways and I love it because it's very grounded and realistic. Cowboy bepop ost is my life, it helped me through depression because the ost has very emotional and relax vibe that I can listen to. I would listen to the ost religously because my life is filled with depressed things, I've listened to it these past 1 year and a half and still listening to this day. Love the characters and the rest.

Man. Hard to believe it's been 15 years since I first saw this show on late night on MTV, of all things. Still probably my #1 anime of all time. And this video? Such a love letter to the show, I can praise it enough. All the best man.

Brah this was an amazing retrospective look inside the family of Cowboy Bebop. No one even knew what it was when I first saw it. But you have managed to capture the heart and soul of this amine beautifully. Thank you it’s exactly how I feel about it. You have my sub my friend...... And remember.....A Snake Cannot Eat...... A Dragon.

I had no idea that CB had such a hard time debutting on tv. For future videos, would you consider including a works cited list in the description to assist viewers who may want to follow up on some of the interesting facts you lay out in the video? Lastly, thank you for all of the research, editting, etc you did for this deep dive! It is amazing. As a long time Cowboy Bebop fan and repeat viewer, you have my immense gratitude.

A beautifully written/editted video essay highlighting everything that I love about Cowboy Bebop. I still regularly listen to the amazing OST, and Blue always gives me the feels. Man, this is making me want to rewatch the series, again! XD Thank you for this awesome video! Also, this reminds me that I really need to watch Samurai Champloo. XD

Great video. It even elicited some of the same misty eyes of its inspiration. God damn I love this show. Just the words "See ya space cowboy" make me every emotion at once. I think it's just hearing the songs again. I've been trying to get my best friend to watch this show for 20 years and last month, he did. It was worth it.

This was like watching the entire series in twenty minutes! Great review capturing one of my favorite animes of all time.

Bepop and FMA on Adult Swim, those were the days

The thing I definitely enjoy from your videos is when you go over the history of the series and its production. This video for example I have never heard about how cowboy bebop didn't air all the episodes originally, how it was funded, and how much effort it took just to actually make the series. The backstory to this series is one I rarely hear anyone talk about and its interesting to finally hear about it in detail.

my favourite essayist doing a video on my favourite show is truly a treat. absolutely loved this video, and really amazing work as always! perfectly spoken with all the justice bebop deserves.

I actually bought my first gun, the IwI Jericho 941, due to this series. So it's not a toy plane but they certainly sold something sexy to me.

a beautiful love letter to a amazing show. Can't wait for more great stuff from you man!

Wow that was great, you are talented! Great homage to a fantastic out of this world anime.

Her:- Say those 3 magical words Me:- You mean 4? See You, Space Cowboy Her:- What? Me:- What

I almost never leave comments under youtube videos but I'll write one down here just to say how impressed I am by the work you put into creating this video and how much I enjoyed watching it.

Tank! Remains one of the few theme songs of any show i nearly always let play. Oddly, more than one of the others are also by Yoko Kanno...

That intro is so nostalgic, just that.... that “3, 2, 1, let’s jam” is so great

I can't count how many times I've watched this short series, and i swear i see new stuff that i missed every time. The opening theme, Never ever ever gets old. Toys in the Attic is classic and hits every nail, that explains why anime/manga is so great, dead on its head.

Great retrospective video. I remember watching this amazing show when it first came to the US. I was in college, and like college Bebop seemed like a blend of all worlds. Not many shows can become timeless the same way Cowboy Bebop did.

The show that got me into anime. And I can still feel the pang from when it ended.

Thank you, it feels bittersweet to look back with this retrospective. Cowboy Bebop will forever have a place in my heart.

It’s fun to come back to these retrospectives every so often. It brings up such good memories of watching this for the first time as a kid. Sitting there in the dark, completely enthralled with every episode. It made me feel emotions that were new at the time, and was probably the first time that a show really made me sit and think about it and process how I felt about it. And every time, it takes me right back to how I felt then, like it’s still somehow new. Shit. What a great show.

I see Cowboy Bebop video. I watch Cowboy Bebop video. Thanks man!
