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.

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.
@UncleIroh @ugly_bastard_reborned
I'm 1 episode in and I'm already more invested/entertained than I was for the entirety of Bebop.
@UncleIroh @ugly_bastard_reborned
Nice and short!
I'll give a try and report back with my 1st impressions
