"Help! I'm falling in love- Cowboy Bebop" , posted Mon 22 Jul 10:26

I've been waiting to get my hands on a few episodes of the series just to see if it's as good as I heard. (And I heard absolutely nothing bad about it which is why I wanted to see it so much.)

Well.. now that I caught six episodes (#'s 1,5,12,13,25,26) I've managed to make a descision.I'm in love.

I've actually found a favorite character already as well. I'm not sure if anyone would be familiar with the name Grencia but he's my favorite character without questions.

But fear not... for Spike is right up there with Gren. And might I add that Spike is most certainly something to behold. o_O And despite Gren being my favorite character I think I'm fallin' for Spike. <Cackles> Naw, really he's just a really good character. He has what I love most, speed and charisma.

Though my third favorite is Vicious<sp>. Why? Ehh.. why not? He's got two of my favorite traits, white hair and insanity.

In any case.. might as well close up this rambling post.

Oh.. and one more thing. A week from today I'll lose my internet access for a while. My computer class is what I use now and it'll be over in a week.

Anyway... then I'll only have the library and then I'll be back in Albany for a week or so. I'll have every-day access then. Until I leave... then it's back home and then to the dorm. ^_^ Then LOTS of internet!

So you caught the AS marathon, huh...next Saturday they're having another one, so you'll be even more in love

And yes, you MUST see the movie. It takes everything that was great about the series and enhances it tenfold.

if you see cowboy bebop on AS, they won't show session #22, cowboy funk (it has something to do with blowing up tall buildings). imo it is one of the funniest episodes of the series, you should get the 5th dvd just to see that (and of course to see the series unedited)

and i really want to see the movie. is there any way to get a dvd of it somewhere? i live in usa, so i don't know

I'm glad you discovered CB. It's in my opinion the best anime series of the 90's, and I've only seen so far the first 10 chapters. In fact, numer 10 is the first one in which Vicious appears, and the church scene (specially when Spike is entering, with that AWESOME music), is beyond great.

If I can. I'll try. I don't have a DVD player or anything that can act as one. Though I'm extremely interested in the whole series.

And it's a major bummer about #22. o_O Sheeesh.. just cuz o' one major terrorist attack everyone's gettin' righteous about the whole blowing stuff up deal. How annoying. Yes, it was a tragety. And yes, we sould get over it. -_-; Especially if they'd break out one episode of anime just because of it. Yeesh...

Anyway... I'll certainly look into getting the movie when I can. It's kinda funny... usually I pick at least someone out of a series to dislike.... but in CB I haven't decided I hate ANYONE. o_O And certainly not any of tha bad guys. ^_~ Ha ha.. usually I hate the side kick bimbo. But Faye's really cool. Or at least I think so... and I'm sure that's music to the MMC's ears. LOL.

Gren is one of the coolest characters in the series, yep ^^

Glad to see that you're enjoying the masterpiece that is Bebop.

Specially Faye. I love her, as everyone here knows ^^'

And about the movie, it's really, really cool, but personally I prefer some episodes.

Cowboy Bebop is without a doubt, one of the best series in the '90's. I've seen it both ways. Whether it would be the sub or dub, the series is that fun to watch.

The movie - A friend of mine will give me the movie some time later. He's also supposed to give me Comic Party and other series not at the top of my head.

Just buy the Dubbed Tapes if you can, I think almost everyone here will agree the dubbed voices are far superior to the original ones.(Spike and Jet sound extremely similar in Japanese so much so it was hard for me to watch without being confused. Ed is also ALOT less spaztic and it hurts her character)

I'm not sure the dubbed tapes are still around, though,a s Bandai has gotten out of the VHS business completly right now. So it might be tricky to track down...

Also more expensive, as you have to pick up 13 2 episode tapes instead of 6 DVD's (-.-)

Yes, the VHS format is dying for anime. Part of the reason why I got my player...

Wow, I didn't know the VHS tapes were going away... the two stores I see anime VHS tapes in around here always have a complete set of Bebop tapes in though, so it can't be that hard to find (though I won't argue it's not expensive as hell)

Double eww.

I prefer it subbed but with Cowboy Bebop it's a matter of preference, not quality. The dub is okay.

I don't know why people claim this English dub is good, or even "better than the original" (sure ^^;)...
I thought that Jet's US VA was kinda okay, but apart from that, really...

Eh, they sound as good as each other. The only reason I'd see the Japanese over the English is to watch them pronounce bad English (which seems to be funny for some reason).

stupid post up there.. that was actually a LONG LONG post... <grumbles> Oh well... I just ranted on my love of Gren anyway. No big deal. ^_^;

Hopefully I'll be able to get VHS. I don't have ANYTHING that can play DVD.. nor do I know anyone who has anything that can. Really I have no choice at all.. it's VHS or nothing. And so I sorrowfully dish out all my money.. and starve just so I can get my anime fix. Ahhh.. the logic of a TRUE addict.

Maybe, though, if I get my wish, I'll get something that can play DVDs soon. I really want a DVD player.... badly. Anime is moving to DVD and there's nothing I can do about it and so I'd BETTER catch up or fall behind. o_O And if I fall behind I go through withdrawl! Oh no!

But then again I'm dealing with a lack of funds.... which is why I don't have a PS2, any new games... or anything of the such.

You need to save up some cash. Seriously. Once you go DVD you will NEVER go back to VHS. Guaranteed.

Agreed, going DVD (Which I didn't want to do myself) was such a great move. Better pciture quality, and the sub vs dub wars died out cause the sub fan always got a sub, and the dub fan got a sub. Add in the fact players are cheap right now (I mean I've seen decent players for $140 Canadian, that's like 10 American! ^^) and it's a good time to upgrade....Or ask for a player as a gift!

I suppose you and Freeter are right. O_O I'll have to look into DVD asap. I'll just need lots of money. Right now I'm trying to replace my tablet with a Wacom. (Finally.. something that's not shit.) But after that I'm gonna be drained for a long time. ALL of my money is going into paying for college tuition. -_- all $20,800 of it.
