Cowboy Bebop

So, I'd heard of this series for quite a while but to be honest, I had no idea what it was about. But the first an only episode I watched of the series thus far I found to be pretty incredible. It's basically about a duo of bounty hunters who live in the future where people can travel between planets. Now, plot covered, where to begin? I mean, it's a visual masterpiece that pays huge attention to detail. I love science fiction films or TV shows with well thought out universes, for example rules of the world the characters live in and vehicles characters drive.



On top of that, the show is powered by two very strong central characters. In particular Spike who is the titular character with martial arts skills and a slight tendency to be slightly egotistical. It's also very well acted and seeing as I've only seen the English dub is rather surprising as good dubs are hard to come by.



It also is not obvious in it's storytelling, there are antagonists but it's not all black and white. The antagonists are sympathetic as we see it in the first episode from their perspective at times. Furthermore, the protagonists are not completely good either with flaws that are true to human nature.
