Oh, Spike. Spends the whole episode badmouthing pets, but chooses to save the dog while the bounty literally crashes into the police station. Love a good grumpy lead with a heart of gold!

That Scatman cut and edit was a 11/10. That quality editing is just one of the many reasons I watch.

I fucking love this show. It strikes a beautiful balance between campy fun and super moody drama with some of the most beautifully written and human characters ever.

One of the main reasons cowboy bebop is so goated is that it can perfectly handle light hearted episodes and emotionally mature and dark episodes with equal care and measure and the dub sells this especially hard.

Every spaceship needs an Ein

To address (although not necessarily answer) your comments about Hakim: if you look at his mugshot @6:14, his height is listed as 6’2”. When he enters the bar (a bit before @7:23) he has to duck, implying either really short doors or that he’s much taller than 6-2. There are a few other small details which hint that his body structure is significantly different: he stares at his hand like he’s getting used to it @7:22 and there’s a moment where he reaches for his drink and almost knocks it over; either he’s clumsy, or he hasn’t gotten used to his new body yet. The show can be silly, but the attention to detail is top notch. Side note (but tangentially related. Sort of. Ish.): have y’all seen Firefly? It has a couple of quiet callbacks to bebop, but if you haven’t seen it, I won’t bother calling them out. (If you haven’t seen it, I do recommend it, tho). Cheers.

As far as the inception of the show Bandai (toy division) just wanted to sell merchandise. They told Shinichiro Watanabe do whatever you want but the show needs spaceships. So, he made Cowboy Bebop. When they saw that all the spaceships were beat up pieces of crap they pulled the plug because they couldn't market them as cool. Eventually Bandai (a different division) picked it up but Watanabe is an absolute anime Rockstar. He created a whole new genre with this show that has inspired alot and in some cases like Firefly straight up ripped him off.

Well yeah, Abdul Hakim _IS_ based on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This show makes lots of references to real people and other characters. You'll see a very familiar sci-fi duo in a few episodes.

Jim Kelly starred in Enter the Dragon. Kareem was in Game of Death

My pet theory about why Corgi's are hella common is this: This is the future, where people travel from planet to planet, and resources look kinda stretched. So would dog lovers be buying Great Danes, or something that doesn't eat you out of house and home, nor require you to buy a second seat on a shuttle every time you move?

The giant red dragon mural at 12:34 wasn't just the artists having fun. Ditto all those images in the end credits.

I always call it Cowpoke Beep Boop

That green haired lady is definitely Morgan in the future 😂😂

Man yall are in for a real treat with Bebop. Also be sure to watch the movie that came out some where towards the end of the series but not after the series ends.

Watching this when I was younger really gave me the Corgi appreciation they deserve.

Spike is a great character. Why? He saved the dog.

14:08 the detail in the design of the vehicles and other machinery are so amazing in this show. Who ever designed Spikes aircraft added a realistic air brake and reverse thrust to the engine and used it in the script.

Man the edits are always on point

That dog is one of the best animal characters in any anime. I’m glad y’all are vibing with this show. It’s one of the anime that got me hooked. The music is so good. Y’all should check out the intro to Baby Driver mashed up with the Opening song. It’s amazing. Also the Seatbelts/Starducks did a version of the song during the pandemic where the writer of the song dances in shadow and such. The song keeps on giving. Sorry. Fanboying out over here.

Excellent.

Our good boi is here!!! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 *BEST DOGGO*

Ein!!

If you wanna vanish changing not only faces but also ethnic is perfect. Blackface is really something different.

My interpretation had always been that in the world of this show ethnicity as we know it has either evolved or faded away. The Blade Runner-esque mishmash of culture applies to people as well. As you watch more of the show you'll see characters who are clearly very Caucasian in social roles or situations where you wouldn't expect them to be, and vice versa.

Enter The Corgi! (though Kareem was in _Game of Death)_ Ein remains my favorite. He’s a clever critter, indeed. I’m certainly not alone in my bias. I often get compliments when I wear my CB shirt with him on it.

oooo bebop's my favorite, just barely ahead of fullmetal. excited to see the rest of your reactions :)

Ein is so cute

Dijeron dojo al inicio y pensé en los Jojo's jajajaja. Por otro lado, ese perrito es de mis personajes más queridos de la serie

Sadly, we never find out what the deal was with Ein.

❤

Daaaayumn, Morgan! But yeah, this show is incredible. Don't bother with Live-Action one. GD them for that.

Where the next cyberpunk videos

Me wa matar, ete mi ultimo wiiiii 😂

In regard to what race Abdul is you see with his mugshot he is what they call "negloid" so something akin to west-african so not blackface at all really as far as it matters.

Go back and look at Hakim. He isn't exactly white. He has dusky skin tone. With light hair.

Spike plastic surgery changes appearance not height.

Please stick to this series. The first 4 episodes are standalone, but the 5th is when the overarching plot starts up.

No, its not "racist". Geez, the "social justice white knight" period is over and passed.

I clicked on the video, just because of Morgan🫡
