Summary:
In 2022, the explosion of an experimental hyperspace gateway severely damaged the Moon, resulting in a debris ring and meteor bombardments that eradicated a large portion of the population. As a result, many survivors abandoned the barely habitable Earth to colonize the inner planets, the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter. The series is set in the year 2071, when the entire Solar System has been made accessible through reliable hyperspace gates. Mars has become the new central hub of human civilization, and interplanetary crime syndicates exert influence over the government and the Inter-Solar System Police (ISSP), limiting their effectiveness in dealing with crime. As a result, a bounty system similar to that in the Old West is established to deal with fugitives, terrorists, and other criminals; the bounty hunters involved are frequently termed "cowboys."

Cowboy Bebop has to be counted as one of THE all time classic anime must sees, The story is well above average as well is the character outlay and development with plenty of time to through enjoy the craters quirks and time to see how they grow. The art is technical in some areas and completely comical in other but never out of place for the situation. The musical score done by Yoko Kanno also deserves a Honored mention, from touching soulfull pieces to foot stomping up beat tracks it has it all. Even for the slightly dated animation it's still top notch, makes me wish they'll bring out a HD version just so i can watch it again. - If you haven't seen it yet Make a plan to do so, and even if you have it's one anime that you'll probly enjoy even more the second time around.
