Cowboy Bebop

Three parts of Watanabe Shinichiro’s television series Cowboy Bebop, a show that brings back the ethics of the outlaw in anime with much jazzy élan. Unlike much anime, the characters are virtually adult. In 2071 the planets in the solar system are linked by warp gates-, making it a lot easier for people to travel from one planet to another. But unfortunately the earth has been destroyed by several serious accidents that happened when the warp gates were being constructed. In these confusing times, the crew of the spaceship ‘Bebop’, led by the hero Spike Spiegel, is chasing space crooks. They come across the strangest types, varying from an old Betamax recorder to a clone of basketball-player Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
