Ok I finished Cowboy Bebop and overall I give it a Watch Samurai Champloo instead/10

Probly won't rewatch anything but the last 5 episodes.

I watched the 1st 20 episodes subbed and was bored af

I also noticed they changed some of words in the dub that IMO made the dialog more intersting and mature.

Also Faye in the hub was a 1-dimensional annoying cunt but in the sub she was much more bearable.

1/2

Pros:

Soundtrack was🔥

Animation holds up well

The fight scenes were great (Pierrot was my favorite)

Cons:

The show is slow AS HELL especially at the beginning. So slow I had to drop it and pick it up years later to finish it

Character backstories aren't as fleshed out well so I didn't care what happened to any of them.

There's no overarching storyline/plot so you could watch all episodes out of order and It wouldn't make a difference

The dub sucks

2/2

I'm an anime-enjoyer going waaay back, and even I couldn't get past episode 2. And I've tried 2 times before.

It won't get a 3rd go so your review pretty much chimes with my experience.

@UncleIroh @ugly_bastard_reborned

Good! Don't waste your precious time.

So many people called this the greatest anime of all time of all time so I was hype.

Also samurai champloo (My favorite anime) had the same director as bebop so I was hype.

I cannot express the depths of my disappointment when i slogged through this boring ass fake-deep slice of life anime.

Honestly, comedy shounen is always the way to go whenever you need a palate cleanser.

There's even the odd redpill.
