In the year 2071, the crew of the spaceship Bebop travel the solar system trying to apprehend bounties. In the slang of the era, "Cowboys" are bounty hunters. Most episodes revolve around a specific bounty, but the show often shares its focus with the pasts of one of each of the four main characters and of more general past events, which are revealed and brought together as the series progresses. (The show originally aired on TV Tokyo, but due to what the network considered "excessive violence", only a few episodes, out of order, were ever shown. The channel WOWOW later picked up the series and aired the entire 26 episode run, in order.)

I’m not an anime fan, but this show is amazingly good. Made in the golden age of cyberpunk, it has pretty much everything that makes for great noir science-fiction, and also enough skimpy outfits and space battles to satisfy even the most juvenile tastes. The soundtrack especially is fantastic, and a real departure from most anime. The creator described it thus: “This is not a kind of Space-Opera. It is a sort of Space-Jazz.” It’s easy to see why this show often gets credited as the greatest anime series of all time!
