Argh so many words!!! [Posted on 2008-02-09] This is the epitome of anime and the only series in this questionable animation sub-category that has any cinematic merit. It is the only reason that anime has any reason for existing and comprises a majority of the very few DVDs I own (unsurprisingly, the keyword "Firefly" pretty much covers the rest of my collection).
After watching Cowboy Bebop, I spent a disproportionate amount of time looking for another anime that could, perhaps duplicate its achievement, but so far I haven't even been able to come up with a close second.
Even if you hate anime, people and small fluffy kittens you should at least try watching this show.
Buyer Beware! [Posted on 2008-02-19] This item as listed does not actually exist anymore. The Perfect Sessions was a limited edition set that came in a very nice box, each of which was numbered by the manufacturer. I found this out the hard way after I ordered it and got a bootleg. The chances are very likely that any seller claiming to have this item is, in fact, only selling bootlegs with very bad MPEG video quality.
Amazon should really remove this listing from their service so that no more affiliates can con people like they are.
But as luck would have it, there is finally a real complete series box set out now. Go get the Anime Legends Cowboy Bebop remix.
Fantastic! [Posted on 2008-04-16] This anime is hands down one of the top ever made. If you like Samurai Chaploo, then you'll likely enjoy this series. Excellent humor, great art and action, deep characters. Couldn't ask for more.
Great Anime, Horrible "Box Set" [Posted on 2008-04-21] The item description claims 6 disks and the sound track. That is not what I received. I should have read the reviews before finalizing the purchase. The episodes are no better than the files I downloaded online. Definitely not the quality I was expecting for a product that claims is original. This is a BOOTLEG. Buyers be warned!
Good, but a little wonky [Posted on 2008-07-09] The item info says it's region 1, the case itself said region 2, but it played pretty well on the Playstation. We've only watched the first episode, and some of the scenes flickered, like not all the frames were there. One instance being the first time you see the ships in space. I don't remember that last time I watched it. At most other times, it was perfectly fine. The audio was great, the packaging slick and minimalistic. Haven't looked at the special features yet.
The show, as always, was amazing. Great storyline and characterization, enough silliness to make you roll your eyes, but not enough to detract from the enjoyment.
