You'd have better anime discussion with Bill O' Reilly.

>>77474387
As a non weeaboo I highly recomend it.

If you watch a lot of anime I think you will lose interest half way trough, but I can assure you that it's worth watching all the way trough.

Changing this thread to vidya related if Cowboy bebop was to made into a game. How would it play.
What are the mechanics. Would it be its own storyline or tide into original story.

not vidya

My favorite ep. was the one where Faye learned of her past and Ed left. Made me realize how much I actually liked the characters.

Crew of the year, all years

>>77474438
I think that's what made it what it was, you felt a sudden loss.

You felt something for the character, the death coming suddenly left you in shick, reflective to how death usualy is in real life.

AMIGO!

You do me proud sometimes, /v/. Time to go smoke a cigarette in Spike's honor.

>>77474598
There is a Cowboy Bebop vidya, google it. I can't remember.

>>77474647
>saging a CB thread, shoo newfag. Don't you have a get thread to attentd to?

episode 5 (when we meet Vicious for the first time)
that episode about Faye's past
Jupiter Jazz pt. 1 and 2
Real Folk Blues part 1 and 2

lots of great episodes.. I liked how the episodes in this series had almost nothing to do with the previous ones (except the two parters). I like anime that do this more than episodic ones.

this thread is now vidya related

>>77474598
>Bandai released a Cowboy Bebop shoot 'em up video game in Japan for the PlayStation in 1998. A PlayStation 2 video game, Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade, was released in Japan, and the English version had been set for release in North America during the first quarter of 2006. However, in November 2007, GameSpot reported that the North American release had been canceled.

Cowboy Bebop is incredibly overrated.

Bebop will always have a place in my heart for bringing me into anime, but it's very overrated.

>>77474708
shock*

>>77474840
My next drink is dedicated to it.

I still tear up occasionally when watching Cowboy Bebop stuff because of that damn ending.

Bang indeed space cowboy, bang indeed.

>He better be dead, that's what made the anime/manga a masterpiece.

>>77475028
>Bebop
>over rated
>Evengelion picture

Oh the irony

>>77474708

It wasn't the whole death scene, it was those entire two episodes. Cowboy Bebop always had a good story structure for a 30 minute show, but it seemed like they were trying to cram 3 hours into 1 hour.

>>77474871
The vidya was never released outside Japan, and it wasn't -that- good to be honest.

We need a real Cowboy Bebop game.

How about, free roaming bounty hunting? What do you roam around freely? The fucking Milky Way bitch. Some faggot ran murdered a whole family and ran off to Pluto? Hop in the Bebop and catch that bitch for a fat ass cash reward.

Of course there will have to be some sort of story involved. Far as gameplay, fuck make it like the anime, amazing mixture of unarmed combat with gun play.

Fuck I want this so bad.

>/v/ hates vidya and likes anime
>/a/ hates anime and likes vidya

But I didn't think you guys would make it so obvious though.
Whatever.
I need to watch this series again. So many episodes I have missed...

>>77474880
Good point, soo many great episodes I can't make my mind up.

I think it's about time to re-watch it.

>>77475028
>>77474989
Indeed it is, but it's still an amazing anime, in the best top 5% ever created.

>>77475090

The director when asked whether spike was dead or not said "I don't know, but I feel that if I we to make sequel the fans would be upset."

In other words he wanted to do a sequel and troll the fuck out of everyone by bring back spike but due to the unexpected popularity (much of which do to that ending) he decided against it.

>>77474989
>>77475028
it's not overrated.. the series is genuinely good. It's one of those anime that ANYONE can get into, even non-weeaboos. Because it's westernized and it's just good.

The characters are all likable too.

Love how people make it out to be the BEST EVAR.

It isn't. There is plenty of anime out there that is leagues ahead of it, but it's still good.

I liked the movie more than I did the series.

>>77475317
It's good AND overrated.

That's how overrated works.

It's good but it's not AS GOOD as people make it out to be.

>>77475267

I can agree with that. It's definitely one of the few episodic anime I enjoyed a lot.

I love bebop but you still are making this board shittier by bumping actual vidya threads off page 0. You can say "I don't give a fuck" but you can't deny it.

Also whether there is or isn't a Bebop game is irrelevant because this thread's not about it.

>>77475028
>"Overrated" being used in the place of "famous" and "easily identified"

You guys say the same thing about vidya games too.

anymore 1920x size wallpapers I'd love to get a good one for my PS3

>>77475317

overrated =! bad

The masses consider Bebop to be a masterpiece. 10/10 in other words. If I we to rank it I would say it was great and give it an 8.5 or 9. That is why it's overrated.

>>77475175
I do understand what you're saying. But I think it fitted in well, it made a bigger impact. (In my opinion that is - I do respect yours too and acknowledge it.)

>>77475198
I'm with you man, a grat cell shaded game, hunting with the Bebop and the rest of the crew, slowly following the storyline.
With great shotting and hand to hand combat.

Sadly it will never happen.

(Not saying you're wrong, just wondering what you consider better)

>>77475480

Nice strawman.

There honestly needs to be a prequel OVA.. it is doable. It could be about Spike's past when he was friends with Vicious and met Julia. Even about Faye's time in our present before she was (frozen? cant remember).

I don't know, but it's doable.. a sequel obviously would not work and would ruin everything, but a prequel would be great. The director should seriously get on this.

People forget that Cowboy Bebop had it's share of boring, and almost borderline bad episodes.

>>77475198
I'm guessing starfox-eque space battles. I hope they try and make a game out of this again. saw some of the ps2 game it does suck.

>>77475090

It's true, but at the same time... I don't want him to be dead. I really don't.

I usually hate the happy ending, but god damn it, when Julia died, oh my god I felt an incredible sense of loss. I don't even understand it, it was like a whole, happy lifetime had been taken away from me. I wanted them to survive, I wanted a syrupy, sweet, happy ending.

Ahhhhhhh Spike, why'd you do it mate?

My favorite episode would have to be the one with Video games

>>77475511
I was trying to post some of the forgotten songs, very few songs in the entire OST that I'll even consider skipping.

---------------------------

Hey faggots, stop arguing over is it overrated or not.

It it overrated, and it is also amazing, now shut the fuck up and have a Cowboy Bebop thread!

Overrated is such a poor descriptor. It basically means "I didn't like it as much as other people." Its sole purpose is to draw attention to the speaker, who wants to be known for having a dissenting opinion that he parades about as fact.

I don't remember Spike dieing in the manga, very little in the manga was actually in the show at all.

I'd like on OVA, or even better a movie, of the lead up to Spike's fall for Julia and what made him depart from the Syndicate.

>>77475781
I think it would be hard to accept it by most of the fans.

But I wouldn't mind watching it.

>>77475916
Even though you might not agree with the death, you do hold the anime highly because of it.

>>77476038
The manga was made after the anime.

>>77475441
No other boards do the same thing as /v/. Go to /co/. Does anyone shit themselves of rage when they see a video game or anime thread? No. They embrace it. Is /co/ a bad board? Fuck no.
I don't get why people say /v/ doesn't talk about vidya. Go to the front page. That should tell you something.

We got to see trap tits but never Faye's. This makes me sad.

>>77476038
That's because the CB anime came first.
I wouldn't bother with manga based on an anime, honestly. Much like I wouldn't bother with an anime based on a manga, save rare exceptions.

I love Bebop, but one thing really annoys me. You know that episode where Faye gets that video from the past and it's a betamax? Wiki has Faye's birthdate as 1994. For her to have been the age she appears in the video (roughly 14-16), it would have to have been recorded around about now. Nobody uses betamax now, or VHS, or any physical media when recording things. Just sort of gets to me.

>>77476349
>>77474747

I love Bebop as much as the next guy, but we have an entire fucking board to discuss it. Whether it's shit or not it's your own fucking problem if you want to talk about it

And then you faggots bitch about facebook/doubles/whatever threads getting 250+ replies while good vidya threads die off quickly

I think everything would be too crammed in a movie.. an OVA series (4-5 episodes maybe) would be more ideal IMO.

Either way it should be done.

>>77476440

That is what happens when you make the setting take place in the future. They could not predict what tech would be out by then.

It's kinda like the who thing with Shinji in evangelion. He uses a walkman type cassette player yet he lives in a world where there are giant robots and cities that can descend into the ground.

Dammn it, you found a flaw in the series. Goddamn it anon! ;_;

Maybe she was poor and couldnt afford an HDD camcorder.. yeah that's it.

>>77476638
But it's not about predictions, it's more about logic. In 2000 nobody was using betamax and the transition to digital storage was well under way. Surely an event that takes place several years after 2000 would also not use betamax, right? Unless of course, despite her birth date stating otherwise, they also wanted to give contemporary viewers the idea that Faye's life really is stuck in the past.

Hey guys, just throwing out a suggestion:

If you liked Bebop you'll like Firefly. Character based episodic series revolving around a group of noble "degenerates" in space.

Why this formula hasn't been used more often is beyond me.

Wow this cartoon looks fucking terrible

>>77476972
I liked Spokey Dokey. The harmonica is just awesome.

Really I hated pretty much all the ones with vocals in it for some reason.

My favourite part of Cowboy Bebop was everything before Ed and Vicious shat it up.

Prior to them: fuck yeah this stuff is awesome, feels like something a western company would make!

Once they get added: oh boy, generic long-white-hair emo villain and SHRIEKING young "comic relief"* girl. Fuck you, Japanese culture, you ruined another good thing.

*Cowboy Bebop was already lighthearted; it didn't need comic relief.

>>77477011

Who knows. You gotta think CB aired in 98 so it was written and scripted well before that.

>>77477023

It's very very expensive. Also, See Farscape

>>77477023
I'd say most of us have seen and like Firefly. I know I have.

>>77476497
Oh sorry guys, just shitting all over your useless sages.

Cowboy Bebop is a number one anime for me, up there with Trigun and Blue Gender and maybe the first series of Full Metal Panic. I'm not saying they're universally seen as the best animes ever but overall I reckon you'd find the general consensus to be very favourable.

>>77477075
Why do you get so angry at something that's always happened? Are you new here? You must be new here. Explains the influx of newfags and the increasing number of sages per off-topic threads.

A Betamax video camera in the first place would of been fucking hard to find in 00, let alone right about now.

I am a year older than Faye. Feels weird man.

Yep.

Cowboy Bebop is just about the only anime that's socially acceptable among non-weeaboos.

Does /v/ like Soul Eater?

Worst ending of the year, all years.

>>77477153
I respect your opinion, I love the jazz in it. Some of the songs that were just used in the backround of random scenes arn't that great to be listened to out of context though.

>>77477199
Betamax was still long dead though. Just always gets me.

>>77477011
Yeah, for most of the episode they had Jet and Spike trying to find a betamax player in the deepest corners of the Earth and space because it was so obsolete. Once they found one, they could finally watch Faye's video.. It was really heartwarming IMO.

Although they could've done the same thing with a DVD.. I'm sure in 2070 or whenever CB takes place optical discs will be a thing of the past. But then again, CB was made in the VHS era, so yeah.

>>77477023
>If you liked Bebop you'll like Firefly.

No. Even when I stopped liking anime I still would tell people that CB is great, but I could not get into Firefly. I tried, but it tried too hard to be western and sci-fi at the same time, and just fucked up both.

>>77477430

guys, the show aired in 98. Lets assume it took 3 years of development. The first thing they write is the script. That means the betamax shit was penned into the story in 1995 not 2000. betamax did not get phased out until 2002.

soundtrack was amazing, some of the fights had absolutely fucking fantastic animation (most of the major ones were done by a Cowboy Bebop animator even) and as interesting as Atsushi Okubo's artwork is, the anime looked infinitely better even in stills.

I've watched tons of animu and Bebop is still one of my favourites, but you just can't get a good thread going on /a/ because they're all tasteless faggots. Hell, you can't get a good thread going about anything I like over there.

One of these days I'ma try a Baccano or Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex thread on /v/ and hope for the best.

thanks OP

>>77477953
I like Champloo more to be honest. I'm not sure why but everything from the characters to the art style just appeals to me far more.

rewatching it right after Afro Samurai makes it particularly enjoyable because it's the same kind of thing... only much, much, much, MUCH better in every conceivable way.

>>77477606
There's standard-def torrents too. Or you could just google for streams. Make sure to watch the film Serenity after the series is over. Series ends very abruptly because it got cancelled. Film sort of ties things together.

not vidya

>>77477962
You're right.

Huh. Guess we'll never know what the deal with that is then, unless they were just plain lazy.

>>77477606

Guys stop replying to the sagefags and trollfags. Lets talk moar Cowboy Bebop.

Dammn it, I thought the series was perfect until Anon pointed out the betamax thing ;_; I know why they did it though, so Spike and Jet wouldn't be able to access its content easily, as betamax is probably almost nonexistent in their time.

EVE Online, but that's pretty boring. Mass Effect maybe. Not exactly exploring, but different worlds to see. You're in a position of authority and there's a sense of urgency though. Someone really needs to make a game like Mass Effect where you're just a space pirate or bounty hunter who doesn't give a fuck.

Sup

YEAH, KEEP THOSE EYES OPEN.

It's not perfect even without it. But for christ sake read this:

>>77477789

>>77474090

Spike isn't dead, he isn't alive either. His existence is a dream, the movie begins and ends with the same scene. He can't escape the cycle.

Even Spike says himself that he walks through life as if living through a dream, and that dying is simply waking up from that dream.

The tragic irony is, at the beginning of the show, the first scene is the fleeting moments from the end of the show, followed by spike waking up.

The plot's cyclical, a fate worse than death.

My personal favourite space games:
- Homeworld series
- Predtechi
- Mass Effect 1 (ME1 had a very "hard sci-fi" atmosphere to it; ME2 felt like space opera, so I only recommend ME1)

Games I don't play, but are generally held to be good space games:
- X3 Terran Conflict
- EvE Onlzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- Sword of the Stars
- Sins of a Solar Empire
- GalCiv2
- X-Com

Personally I think ME1 is the best of the lot, but that's just me.

>>77478564
Let's not go there.

The most memorable episode for me is the one with the fridge and the blob thing. It always happened to be the one on toonami when I caught it.

>>77478622
one piece has a brilliant cast bro

mamoru hosoda did more interesting things with them than the source material usually does though

>>77478388
Uh... the first Mass Effect never really had a sense of urgency, I felt, personally.

Sure, once you get to Virmire, it starts shifting into overdrive, and Ilos really does get into the whole sense of urgency, but the Ilos sequence was just so hauntingly beautiful - music, visual design, theme - that I didn't really mind.

All in all Mass Effect is mostly just having fun exploring various uncharted worlds. This assumes, of course, that you enjoy the Mako sequences. I do, personally, and never had a problem with the controls.

>>77478061
Don't know about space exploran but you should try Planetes or Outlaw Star. Diebuster and gunbuster are always relevant though they are nothing like Cowboy bebop. Sadly 4chan spoiled bebop for me so the end didn't hit me. If you want to watch something that feels like cowboy bebop then watch Trigun, Outlaw Star or Gungrave. Awesome old anime, don't let the trolls tell you otherwise.

Why did you bring One Piece up though?
