Cowboy Bebop: The Movie

I bought this DVD at Play years ago and still watch it from time to time. It is and was a great movie that is also a good add on to the animated series.

Spike and his partners in crime are in a pinch this time (again) as a test-subject gone bad wants to destroy a city. The movie has the same feel as the series and features all the gimmicks that made the series great. For instance the 'bounty hunter news' with the rodeo-presenters.

long live anime!

Although I had my reservations, they were blown away within the first few minutes of the film. The animation style is so fluid it is a pleasure to watch, each character has their own way of moving which makes them stand out all the more. The strange mix of sci-fi, western and jazz music works brilliantly, and is put together so well that you hardly notice it. The titles were an absolute joy to watch, the music throughout the whole film coupled the animation brilliantly so much so I found myself bobbing my head.

The film is full of action and has received great reception, even being up for a best animated feature category in the Online Film Critics Society Awards, but lost out to Finding Nemo.

Honestly recommend this film, my favourite anime film to date.

i have seen year so long ago but no matter how many times i watch it's still a great watch with appeal to both anime junkie's and those just getting in its smooth we directed a host of very different characters i recommend anyone buy's this especialy at this price 6 quid absolutely worth it

The Cowboy Bebop movie has stunning animation and some fantastic action scenes. Also, while I enjoyed the film - you might want to watch the superior Cowboy Bebop anime TV series first (which has a faster pace and gives you an insight to each character).

Other anime titles I would recommend: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scrolls and Samurai 7.

This was only the second anime I bought. This film is so good I haven't yet found anything else to surpass it, (although I would say Full Metal Alchemist is as good) and I haven't even seen the Bebop series yet, but I definitely will!. Bebop is very well known for having great music. I listen to heavy metal so didn't expect the jazzy tunes in this film to bother me too much, but it just fits the film so perfectly it's hard to fault it. The plot is excellent and the characters (even Ein!) are all cool and funny. Spike Spigel is easily my second favourite character in anime (sorry, but Alucard from Hellsing is just too damn cool). Very highly recommended.

Another good anime title for less than 10quid...This surely is a must have for this price. Also the DVD comes with good amount of extras too.

The movie is really good and it takes place between ep 22 and 23 of the anime series. Animation is good and keeps up with the tv series. Two of the fight scenes are really good, specially the ending fight scene. also the scene with the butterflies at the end of the movie was just too good.
Recommend it to any body who has just started watching anime

btw the Bluray version of this movie was just recently release. check that out too...

Cowboy bebop the movie, continues what was great about the series, but pushes it a little further into this full length show, which feels like an extended episode.

Taking place somewhere towards the end of the original series, the movie continues to follow the exploits of the bebop crew, a group of bounty hunters who seem to struggle to make a living.

The action is well-paced and seems to be animated perfectly, and the story has plenty of time to unfold due to the long length of the movie.

If you enjoyed the original series, this movie is a must-have title. And if your someone who likes action and a good story, this is definately worth picking up.

From the opening scene to the close. This film is visually excellent, exciting to behold with wit and charm thrown in. The dialog is as always with Bebop, sharp and clever and the characters wonderful to watch and study. Even at near 2 hours the film never stops delivering even with it's slower elements eased with humor or intrigue. This will be loved by the fans and even by those who aren't I'm sure.
For guns, martial arts, government plots, super soldiers and more, check out this most western style of eastern animation.
