Explore the far reaches of the galaxy in this undeniably hip series that inspired a generation – and redefined anime as an indisputable art form. The Bebop crew is just trying to make a buck. This motely lot of intergalactic loners teams up to track down fugitives and turn them in for cold hard cash. Spike is a hero whose cool façade hides a dark and deadly past. The pilot Jet is a bruiser of a brute who can’t wait to collect the next bounty. Faye Valentine is a femme fatale prone to breaking hearts and separating fools from their money.

On their own, any one of them is likely to get lost in the sprawl of space, but together, they’re they most entertaining gang of bounty hunters in the year 2071.


Review :
The best possible presentation of this show.
Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime and I'm ecstatic to finally have it on Blu Ray. This set isn't perfect, but it is the best this show is ever going to look. I'd like to address the negative reviews that have started to come in. Their complaints seem to be three-fold:

- The show isn't really HD because it isn't widescreen.
- The show isn't really HD because it is upscaled, and doesn't look better than the DVDs.
- The sound is somehow worse than before.

All of these claims are absolutely wrong. Firstly, the show was originally made in 4:3. That means that converting it to widescreen would require cropping, which would mean both loss of fidelity and loss of parts of the image. If this had happened, I would consider this transfer utterly ruined. Movies and shows should always be presented in their original aspect ratio, and cropping is unacceptable. They are still very much HD by definition.

Secondly, only certain elements of the image are...
Great a/v presentation but some weird menu options
Overall great picture and sound quality. There are some frequent instances of colorbanding and a some obvious edge enhancement going on here and there, but this doesn't do anything to detract from the presentation. Honestly the fact that a show this old looks this good is amazing. The show does look stunning, easily the definitive version of the series. It's simple, if you're a fan get this set.

There are some odd menu issues for me though, whoever authored these discs needs to be thoroughly slapped with a fish. When you're in the blu ray menu, which is nice and simple btw, and you want to highlight a selection it gets a bit confusing. For example, let's say you want to select the English dub (why not it's actually very good), so you highlight the English dub and press ok ... and when you hit play it's in Japanese. Wha? Yeah the non-highlighted item (dim) item is the one that is actually being selected. This is a completely counterintuitive authoring decision and...
More details About What's Included
I will admit, I have been waiting for this release forever. As of this posting (2014 Oct 7) there is no real video or screen captures to showcase the video and audio quality of this release. So I will list the tech specs and contents of the discs as it appears to be missing above. I will note that there is 2 Limited Edition versions out there one is Amazon's Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series - Amazon Exclusive Edition (Blu-ray/DVD Combo), and then there is Funimation's version. Between all three versions, the content on the discs are the same so you are not missing out on anything there. Where things get tricky is Amazon is offering a limited Edition clamshell art box (their words not mine) and 2 books with concept sketches and drawing of the crew of Bebop (1 color 1 black and white). Where as Funimation depending on how you look at it offers a little bit more. Funimation's Limited Edition set comes with...
