Great show at a good price 
2008-09-04
I'm glad this box set finally came out, and that it's so inexpensive. This show has a little bit of something for everyone. If you haven't watched this show, sit down and watch it, you won't be disappointed.
Some people may not like it because of the loose connections between many of the episodes, or because they were put off by an episode, but that's what made the show great. It's following a randomly thrown together group of misfits on their sometimes wacky, sometimes sad, sometime's boring adventures in space while exploring the characters little by little and coming to a good, though somewhat open ending.
This show may not be for everyone, but hey at this price you might as well give it shot.
Great deal for an even greater Anime! 2008-09-02
This is one of the best deals that I have seen in a long time. This is all of the remix DVD's plus all of the bonus features for an excellent price. If you have waited to purchase Bebop now is the ideal time. All the episodes, all the jazz, all the fun, for less than half the price for buying them separately. Five stars. Highly recommended.

A classic 2008-08-10
Cowboy Bebop was one of the first animes that I had ever watched nearly 10 years ago, and it still among my favorites. The Anime Legends box is an amazing deal for this series.
Great entertainment! 2008-08-08
Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest animated shows I've ever watched. The characters are nicely developed and the story plots are both easy to follow and intricate at the same time. Definitely a must-watch!

2008-07-29
The only anime of its kind I promise. Filled with great action scenes, comedy, and romance, it needs to be on your top anime list. From the opening theme song you know this anime is diffrent and for some reason it just catches your attention. Also the extras are great with interviews of the cast. Also dont forget the movie if you enjoy the series.
Commonly and Critically Overrated 
2008-07-24
Cowboy Bebop is commonly hailed as one of the best anime series of all time, but with its utter lack of cohesive story or character development, Cowboy Bebop proved to be (with the exception of perhaps five out of the series' twenty-six episodes) painfully insipid. Many would argue that the series requires neither of these common necessities in good storytelling, which is true provided that each episode of the series was entertaining enough to keep viewers watching. However, the vast majority of the episodes range from unoriginal to comedically contrived. Cowboy Bebop certainly is "The Work Which Becomes a New Genre Itself," attempting a jack-of-all-trades-yet-master-of-none-approach with sci-fi, drama, and comedy. Its sci-fi repeatedly breaks its own metaphysics (a la random feng-shui magic introduced late in the game), its drama refuses to give insight into its characters, and its comedy, at which it is most successful, still frequently falls flat.
A common hindrance in anime is that the stories can get so bloated with its agenda or characters' melodrama that maintaining the viewer's interest gets lost in the shuffle. The staff of Bebop seemed to take this problem to the other extreme as the series suffers from morbidly deficient storytelling. One character's entire backstory is a string from one cliché to the next, starting with his lone righteousness in a corrupt police system to when time figuratively, and tritely literally, stops for him due to his estrangement from an old flame. Another backstory, or lack thereof, is meted out in dialogue-starved shreds of flashback with viewers left to fill in the blanks in the narrative. Whereas some might confuse such moves as artistic, the result comes off as lazy, wherein the creators themselves did not want to put the effort into piecing together their own puzzle. This would not be such a problem were the audience not expected to care about the characters and their pasts, although the dramatic tone of the closing episodes would suggest otherwise. Furthermore, there is little point in watching the sessions in any kind of order, as the series generally has no more continuity than Bugs Bunny cartoons.
The series is not completely devoid of merit, however. The best five episodes (2, 9, 17, 18, and 22) truly compose the Best Sessions with rare moments of genuine humor and, in the exclusive case of "Speak Like a Child," genuine poignancy. Also, the series boasts an impressive and eclectic soundtrack by the peerless Yoko Kanno who unfortunately seems to curse nearly every project she works on, bestowing on them scores that few series have lived up to (with the notable exception of the first Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series).
Even at a reduced price and with remastered audio, the grand total of four fun episodes and one fleshed-out character makes this series hard to recommend. The product is a ham-fisted juggling act between comedy and drama that leaves viewers with little to no emotional investment in the characters.
One of the best animes ever 2008-07-19
The best thing about this series is it is not your typical anime. The characters don't have special abilities or powers; they don't fight demons; they don't save the world on a regular basis; they don't rely on magic/spirit energy/chi/ki/what have you; they are just normal people down on their luck, trying to make enough money to survive. They live day to day, trying to survive their environment, and more importantly, their past. Although it's animation, it is easy to identify with the characters. That, and not to mention that the soundtrack is amazing. Who knew a Japanese composer could take something as American as jazz and make it phenominal? As a side note, for being made in the early '90s, it doeesn't look dated at all.
If anyone, anime fan or not, likes action/adventure anything, this is a must.
Great :D 2008-07-17
I remember when Cowboy Bebop was first debuted.
I used to stay up late on Saturday nights to watch it on Adult Swim.
In my opinion, This is one of the single-most Interesting Animes i have ever seen.
It definitely has a style all it's own.
Although i must admit, i have never actually seen the whole series, hence why i am taking full advantage of this Great deal. But when i used to watch it on television, whether or not is was a re-run or a new episode, i would stop whatever i was doing to watch it. I never lost interest in it.
Take my word, if you're a die-hard anime fan, then this is definitely A must Buy.
You won't be disappointed.
