What's this about?

Lately, it seems like many of the movies/shows are just a rehash or reboot of things that have already been done. And so I started to dive into the past. It's been fun, but I find myself losing track of which ones I’ve seen and whether or not I enjoyed them. Sometimes the titles themselves just don't tell me enough to remember.

I wouldn’t have voluntarily watched a lot of these movies when I was younger. It’s strange how interests change. That goes for what I read, too. I have another blog that explores books. I’m mostly reading older fiction and memoirs, and some of the books have led me to movies/shows and vice versa. In those cases, I may post the book review over here as well.

There will be spoilers, which is different than my book reviews. That’s mostly because I want to have enough information to help me remember what I’ve seen. I’m getting older. The brain doesn’t cooperate like it used to. What can I say? The gray hairs are catching up with me!

Cowboy Bebop (anime series) - 1998

I’ve heard multiple times that this is one of the best animes ever. I didn’t really know very much about it before I started it, but there’s also a movie, and it’s getting watched here shortly.

Spike and his ragtag group of misfits travel the galaxy hunting down bounties. Sometimes it isn’t all plenty, and they’re struggling out there. Most of the 26 episodes you could watch and not be confused, but there is an overarching story that pops up from time to time, especially at the end.

This really was a good show. I LOVE the intro song, and I’d listen to it every time I watched an episode. It’s called TANK!, and it was simply amazing. Sometimes it would get stuck in my head throughout the day.

The story was interesting. For only being 26 episodes, I was surprised by how much depth each character ended up having. I’m not picking a favorite, but Ein is an easy choice since he’s a dog. If you can get your hands on this, I recommend it. It’s a bit Firefly, but it’s totally different. See You Space Cowboy…Good Anime!
