Madman Entertainment’s Top 20 Anime Releases Survey – #7: Cowboy Bebop

-

Madman Entertainment’s Top 20 Anime Releases Survey – #7: Cowboy Bebop 1Over the last month or so, Madman Entertainment have been asking their fans to vote for their favourite anime releases from the company (Along with other releases which due to their diversity, most likely won’t make it into this top 20) and giving away on-the-spot prizes to those who provided interesting vote justifications. The intention of this is to generate what fans would consider the companies Top 20 series releases.

After perhaps the most debated position so far being #8: Bleach, we now move to position #7 in the rankings which I personally haven’t really watched much of either. This title is Cowboy Bebop, for which Madman Entertainment still have “Cowboy Bebop Remix Complete Sessions” DVD set in stock.

But here is what Madman had to say on the placement….

“3… 2…. 1… Let’s Jam!” Could it be that Cowboy Bebop has the most watched and not skipped opening sequence in all of anime? That ultra cool opening draws you right into its stylish vibe, as the unmistakeable soundtrack by Yoko Kanno pumps you up for the brilliance of each episode.

Like a jazz fusion anime, Bebop immediately grabs you with action, humour, and balances post-western and futuristic sci fi, intrigue, cool music, a totally believable and compelling cast of pitch-perfectly written characters… and kung fu.

Following the comedic, touching, thrilling adventures of the Bebop crew is rewarding even on repeat viewings. Shinichiro Watanabe created a true classic with this misfit in space, a go-to title if you want a perfect introduction for new anime fans.
