The famous anime series Cowboy Bebop aired in Japan in 1998 and at that time it was perceived as a heartfelt space adventure never seen before in film, or animation. The series follows a bounty hunter, Spike Spiegel, who radiates strength and gentility while he chases criminals around the universe.
Besides Spike, there is a party comprised of many surprising friends, including retired policeman Jet, villain-turned-hero Faye, and a talented young hacker named Ed - not to mention the cute intelligent dog, Ein. The community as a whole forms a cohesive entity, but most critically, a family!
Cowboy Bebop is an introspective anime that shows us the importance of family and friends and makes us question our own beliefs and actions. That's why every little detail of the show is important, from the songs featured to the names of the casinos. Take our quiz to challenge yourself!
