.:Story:.
It is the year 2071, the Earth is uninhabitable from years of bombardment by meteors. Mankind has fled Earth for the planets of Mars, Venus, and Ganymede along with many satellites in the Solar System. Amidst this chaos, crime is the most prosperous and chosen profession. The ISSP (Inter Solar System Police) are all but powerless against this wave of crime. Bounty hunters, or cowboys, have become the ISSP's most useful ally against crime. Aboard the old fishing vessel, the Bebop, lives an unusual group of Cowboys. They are Spike Spiegal, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, and their data dog Ein. Spike was once a criminal himself. Spike spent much of his young life with the Red Dragon Syndaqit on Mars. Jet is a former ISSP detective, but after an accident, that cost him his arm, Jet left the ISSP to work on his own. He teamed up with Spike about three years earlier. Faye's past is unknown and mysterious. Ed is a hacker who forced her way onto the Bebop. She is fairly young, but still a great asset to the Bebop crew.
.:Dubbing:.
The dubbing is very good. To those who are used to shows like DBZ and Pokemon, the dubbing will blow you away. Their are few instances were I find my self complaining about they dubbing. In fact, off the top of my mind, I can't think of anytime when I really was annoyed or bothered by bad dubbing on Cowboy Bebop.
.:Voice Actors:.
The voices in Cowboy Bebop may seem familiar to us anime fans. Spike's voice is probably the most familiar. He is voiced by both Steven Blum and David Lucas, who surprisingly have the same voice. Both have done voices for may different series such as Last Exile and Big O. Jet is voices by Beau Billingslea, who has done the voice for Jigen in Lupin III and many more. Faye's voice is the same as that of Wendy Lee, herself is no stranger to the anime industry. Ed's voice is done the beautiful Melissa Fahn, this is her biggest role in the anime industry so far. These are some of the best voice actors I've heard in the anime industry. Together they make for a great cast with good chemistry. The voices fit the characters personalities almost perfectly.
.:ArtWork:.
The art work excels under the leader ship of director Shinichiro Watanabe, one of the minds behind the Animatrix. From its action sequences to the breath taking panoramas. This is the area is also were the show takes a very short dip in quality, due to the fact that on few occasions the art is just a freeze fram. Now, this isn't that big of a problem. Don't get me wrong, the art is still great, but like most other things it has a few (that's a really small amount) problems. All in all the art is still great just not quit the best ever.
.:Music:.
This is by far the best part of Cowboy Bebop. The music is done by the musical master Yoko Kanno. From the opening song, Tank, to the ending song, the Real Folk Blues, Cowboy Bebop is a non-stop jazz and blues festival. Kanno seems to have the right song for every scene of this series. If its action she comes up with a song that gets your heart pumping. If its a sad scene, she makes songs like rain that will make you cry. Over all I say the music is the best in the industry.
