Quick Recommendation.
Recently I finished watching a series which I felt I should make a nod to, not that it really needs a recommendation.
'Cowboy Bebop', the name pops up on many anime related sites and is regarded quite highly. After watching it I can easily see why.
The first thing I would say is that this is a show I can recommend to anybody, it covers so many genres. Primarily it's a sci-fi show, two bounty hunters pilot an old space ship called the 'Bebop' travelling around the galaxy tracking down whoever has the highest bounty on their heads. Within that you have a good mix of action, comedy and romance (There are probably many more that I've missed!!). There's something in there for almost any anime fan to enjoy.
Also of note is the way the episodes are structured. It's a standard 26 episode job, except for the most part, each episode has a stand alone story with an underlying plot which wraps everything up at the end. In my opinion, this lends itself well to the amount of variation there is in the story.
Add to this a cast of genuinely likeable characters and a great, upbeat soundtrack from the well known composer Yoko Kanno and you have a winning combination.
Well, that wasn't quite as quick as I'd hoped it would be, took alot longer to write than I'd expected (Esspecially longer than it takes to read)!! It's a show that now ranks quite highly on my favourite anime list, incase you couldn't guess!! Lol.
