Cowboy Bebop is glorious, and I'll still listen to the soundtrack once in a while partially for nostalgia, but mostly because it's just good music. In fact, I actually bought the vinyl version of the soundtrack. It's got some good artwork on the jackets.

However, I have not seen Outlaw Star, so I do not feel properly informed for this discussion.(Cowboy Bebop wins no matter what).

I’ve seen Cowboy Bebop and that’s it. All other anime I bounced off of hard… so if there’s anything else like that, I guess let me know

Outlaw star builds an interesting setting but does very little with it. Worth a watch if you like sci-fi world building.

Bebop is a nicely rounded show the setting is more generic but it gives more time to explore the story and characters. It makes an excellent experience. Everyone should see it.

Cowboy Bebop has an insane list of musician credits. Yoko Kanno came to US for a few sessions and hired some people who went on to become top tier players. She even got Stanley Clark for a couple tunes! And fuckin Chris Potter when he was just a kid. It'd be like booking a young Jimi Hendrix before he was famous

CB if only for the episode where they stage a rescue mission with a rebuilt space shuttle Columbia, which then starts to shed heat resistant tiles on re-entry

Outlaw Star is the equivalent of a popcorn flick by Michael Bay, who halfway through production had an epiphany "LET'S HAVE THE SPACESHIPS FIST FIGHT." I love it.


Cowboy Bebop is just good with no qualifiers. It's a cut above popcorn stuff.

Wow morons saying Space Dandy that wasn't a loving choice you dumb fucks. Like yeah Space Dandy exists I loving know that you aren't out animaying me you stupid weebs shut the gently caress up and understand the point of the thread or just gently caress off.

Anyway Outlaw Star has a gun that shoots magic bullets and they go to the hot springs planet to get them and we get to see Aisha Clan Clan naked. Yep. Cowboy Bebop has a corgi.

Nothing to see here. Move along.



In all seriousness Bebop is better. I rewatched Outlaw Star a couple of years ago and Gene is just such an unlikable piece of poo poo. Dude tries to sexually assault a teammate while drunk and I think she ends up apologizing to him. They also fall in love later.

Outlaw Star isn't bad, it just did not age well while Bebop is timeless.


This is another anime that's better than Outlaw Star and has the best OP song of any anime. Its even better than Tank!

Edit: I kind of get why Melfina falls in love with Gene. Her choices for men are a violent drunk that sexually assaults her and a creepy stalker who literally wants them to be 2 people in one body. Like the stalker is such a creep and such a stalker Gene looks like Prince Charming in comparison.

Also yeah, it spawned a whole generation of furries before Judy Hops.

TRIGUN IS NOT A SPACE ANIME. "Well actually Duck and Cover in that one episode..." NO SHUT THE gently caress UP. Now if we're going to compare Trigun to something it's going to be Sunabouzu/Desert Punk. This isn't that thread though go away this is the Outlaw Star (super cool) or Cowboy Bebop (babies first anime adorable) discussion thread.

Hi YOU AREN'T OUT ANIMAYING ME YOU WORTHLESS POSTER. Oh guys I watched the garbage space opera that I could not tell you what the gently caress happened. LOOK aT ME I'm A SOPhisTICated ANIMe watcher. Instead of watching garbage maybe you should be watching a show about cleaning up garbage. Space garbage. Planetes. It's good. Okay that's not fair Galactic Heroes isn't garbage but I certainly don't remember it I don't remeber if I finished or got bored. I think I watched it fairly recently too like past 10 years maybe? I don't remember. I should go watch season 2 of Birdie Wing I think it's finished.

The Cowboy Bebop movie is incredible but I could never get too into the show.

I didn't move any goal posts you dumb poo poo. I gave two options the moron shuckle turds decided IM GONNA STATE ANOTHER ANIME and I was like shut the gently caress up. So shut the gently caress up. If this was a thread about Trigun vs that new Trigun I haven't watched then yes talking about Trigun would make sense but it isn't so shush.

The Cowboy Bebop movie had a short run in one artsy cinema in Oslo while I was in the army there, so I ended up seeing it in a daytime showing with something like ten other people. That's about the edge of my comfort zone for anime in public - I can't think of any other anime movie based on a series I'd admit to paying for a ticket to.

What did you like about the movie that you didn't like about the show? IIRC the movie is just a two hour episode set between 17-18?

A lot of the episodes don't include the stuff about the show that is good, whereas the movie doesn't include much of the show that is bad (such as the main plot)
