Why does no one talk about this anime on the supposed anime board of this Mongolian throat singing site? It is still better than 99 percent of the slop being released today and all you weebs want to talk about is some goofy pedo bait fufu crap.

/a/ has really shit taste, but Cowboy Bebop has been talked to death.

Man, some things never change

Outlaw Star was the superior 1998 sci-fi anime

We're done talking about it. There's no more beef in the bell peppers

>>287363716
There’s nothing left to talk about

It's fairly old at this point and is also a normalfag (likely what you are) magnet.

I like cowboy bebop OP, what about the anime did you want to talk about?
>>
>>287363716
I want to fuck Vicious and could talk more about that, but aside from that topic I don't currently have too much to say about Bebop as a whole

OP, I love Cowboy Bebop. But honestly, what else is there to talk about?
I mean:

- do you care about Ural Terpischore? Or the fact that there was an entire official short story about this one character who was only briefly mentioned in one episode of the series?
https://web.archive.org/web/20070705142837/http://www.cowboybebop.org/english/ut/index.html

-Do you also know that this is one of the few series with a complete fan transcription? I can't think of many anime series that had gotten this amount of autism.
https://www.rfblues.com/Sessions/

- Did you also know the series has a continuation? Or rather, a spin-off that is the most likely to be in the same world as Bebop?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carole_%26_Tuesday

And I could keep going, but Bebop is such a perennial classic that it's been talked outside of 4chan. Heck, I'm planning to novelize the anime at some point in the future, but the RFBlues script is pretty definitive, even if it only uses the sub.
>>
>>287363716
All style, no substance.

I can listen to the soundtrack ten thousand times but there's very little to actually discuss.
>>
>>287363716
Toonami tards still exist in this era?
>>
>>287363716
What really is there to talk about anymore?
>>
>>287365750
Actually there's plenty to discuss. I'm quite fond of the tech in this show. Its a realistic depiction of cassette futurism.

Cowboy Bebop is good but there's not much to discuss. It's not like Ergo Proxy where you can endlessly ponder and debate the meaning of things.
>>
>>287366322
Its true.
Personally, I am thinking of turning Cowboy Bebop into a book. There is an official short story set in the universe, so I am thinking a full on novelization can be attempted based on that short story.
>>
>>287363716
I feel that this show is overrated. It looks amazing, but never does anything interesting with the story or characters.
>>
>>287366342
Cowboy Bebop has some of the best worldbuilding of anything ever, definitely would be good for fan fiction, Watanabe's other anime like Carol and Tuesday hypothetically take place in the same world, but they should really just make a spinoff more similar to bebop, not to detract from the original, it's just a really good setting, imagine like a gritty Yakuza triad type of plot in that setting
>>
>>287366351
Spike's rivalry with Vicious was not good enough for you? Or Jet's gripes about his past? Or Faye trying to figure out her past and finally finding it, only to see the crushed remains of Sentosa Island?

Also, Cowboy Bebop has my favourite chase scene of all time. The last time I saw a chase scene that great was in The Man who was Thursday by GK Chesterton.
>>
>>287366421
Agreed.
Hell, I'd be down for a sequel. No, really. I kind of do want to see what Jet and Faye got up to after Spike died. Same for Ed. The worldbuilding was so good, it leaves you wanting more of that world.

Faye sex
Also Outlaw Star>Cowboy Sneedbop

>>287366444
>chase scene
you should watch Karas. it's a 6 episode OVA
>>
>>287366737
Alright mate. I did hear good things about it.
>>
>>287363716
there's nothing to talk about, the music is kino however

>>287365872
>cassette futurism
I'm playing Ostranauts right now. that is the aesthetic.
>>
>>287363860
Cowboy Bebop is better but I enjoyed Outlaw Star more
>>
>>287367307
honestly Yoko Kanno's best work is in Turn-A Gundam, Cowboy Bebop is a collaborative work. The art music composer is strongest when they work alone.

Straight riffing on the Verdi Requiem

Because everything that could be said has already been said.

>>287367689
good artists copy
great artists steal
>>
>>287363716
Not enough girls. Maybe if the show was just about Spike, Jet was turned into a hot tsundere, Ed was openly in love with the MC, and there were two more female members obsessed with him, then /a/ would talk about it every day.
>>
Shit anime, ended after one season, no fan service, not even based on a light novel.
>>
I don't care to watch bebop because everyone is glazing it which points to it being overrated and I don't want to feel tricked.
>>
>>287367811
>no fan service
Faye's tits spilling out of her shirt not enough? Isn't she in a bikini at one point?
>>
>>287363716
Because the people that want to talk about Cowboy Bebop are overwhelmingly newfags who need to lurk moar. Having threads for them to discuss it is therefore counter-productive.

not OP but I didn't know about the Ural Terpischore short story, so I suppose it's worth talking about the lesser known stuff now and again lest it be lost to time someone should probably save the story/art as a pdf or something since the webarchive is kinda buggy

>>287367374
Outlaw Star is just a more fun show, and the OP is probably my favorite.

>>287367867
IIRC the sauciest she gets is this bit from the movie.
>>
>>287367323
Yeah, that's cassette futurism
https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Cassette_Futurism
Bebop is special because it was working with the futurism based on the tech of the time. Nowadays we call it cassette futurism, but thats because its now seen as an outdated tech. Its a unique retrofuturism, especially since it was contemporary to the time of its production.

If you know how to utilize web archive, Yyou'd be able to get the full story.
THAT SAID, https://files.catbox.moe/9qgclz.pdf

I am working on the novelization, so I figured keeping a copy of this would be necessary. The editing is a bit rough, but I'm sure someone else can do a better job polishing it up. But this was the text as I copy+pasta'ed it from the site.

Also, the wiki entry on this story: https://cowboybebop.fandom.com/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop:_UT
>>
>>287363716
Bebop is great, but unlike you, we discovered it before yesterday.

Go watch Lupin III for two years before posting again.
