The best way to watch Bebop in English, just shy of perfect
5 Stars
The best way to watch Bebop in English, just shy of perfect
Funimation has done a stellar job bringing this Blu-ray set to North America, and while it is THE definitive way to watch the show in English, there are some nagging usability issues which should be noted.What you need to know is that every episode is here in its original aspect ratio (4:3) in glorious HD, as it should be, with both the original Japanese audio with English subtitles and an excellent English dub done by Funimation.That said, CG graphics in some scenes do look slightly blurry. As other reviewers have noted, this is because the show's CG graphics were originally generated in standard definition (in 1998!) and have been upscaled to HD for this release. To remedy this upscaling issue, these assets would have had to have been re-created in HD, which could have risked altering the style of the original (see Ghost in the Shell 2.0, Star Wars on Blu-ray, blegh!). Personally, I’m glad the original animations were used.Additionally, the original opening and closing sequences for each episode have been edited to replace the Japanese credits on-screen with English translations. While there is an option to watch the original sequences on their own on disc 3, and Funimation did a great job with the translated sequences (mostly matching the original's visual style), the Japanese sequences are memorable, and it would have been nice to have the option to watch each episode unaltered.Minor usability issues:- You can’t switch audio/subtitle options during playback, so you won’t be able to compare audio tracks on the fly. Kind of a bummer. You must back out to the main menu to make changes.- English subtitles are tied directly to the Japanese audio track, so your only viewing options are English audio with no subtitles, or Japanese audio with English subtitles. There are no other language options.- All episodes on each disc are combined into one long clip on the two Blu-ray players I tested, even when choosing a single episode from the main menu (for example, choosing the second episode on a disc will place you at around the 21-minute mark of a 3+ hour clip of all episodes combined). It would have been nice to have the option to watch one episode at a time.- As others have mentioned, the way selections are made in the Blu-ray menu is counterintuitive: the item that is greyed out is selected and the items that are highlighted in white are not. There are sections of the menu with only two options (when picking between Japanese and English audio, for example) where this can be confusing even if you know what to look for.I should also note that my Blu-ray copy of Bebop arrived with two of the nubs holding each disc in place broken off, which fell out of the box when I first opened it. Since it took me a few weeks to open my set after buying it, I wasn't able to exchange it for an un-broken version in time. I don’t hold this against Amazon, since I’m sure they would have honored an exchange if I had reported the issue in time.My full breakdown of the contents of each disc:DISC 1:• Sessions #1-9Extras• Session #1 Audio Commentary with Koichi Yamadera (Spike) and Unsho Ishizuka (Jet)• Session #5 Audio Commentary with Wendee Lee (Faye) and ADR Producer Yutaka MasebaDISC 2:• Sessions #10-18Extras• Session #10 Audio Commentary with Wendee Lee (Faye) and ADR Producer Yutaka Maseba• Session #17 Audio Commentary with Director Shinichiro Watanabe and Composer Yoko KannoDISC 3:• Sessions #19-26Extras• Session #24 Audio Commentary with Megumi Hayashibara (Faye) and Aoi Tada (Ed)• Cowboy Bebop Session #0• Interview with Wendee Lee (English Voice of Faye Valentine)• Interview with Cartoon Network Producer Sean Atkins• Original Opening Song• Original Closing Song• Original Closing Song Ep. 13• Original Closing Song Ep. 26• Textless Opening Song• Textless Closing Song• Textless Closing Song Ep. 13• Textless Closing Song Ep. 26• U.S. Trailer• Trailers' Michiko & Hatchin' Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine' Black Lagoon' Attack on Titan' Chaos;Head' Code:Breaker' Samurai Champloo' Funimation.comDISC 4 (addl. extras):• Memo from the Bebop: Dub Sessions Remembered• Ein’s Summer Vacation• “Tank!” Full-size Music Clip• “Tank!” Club Remix Music Clip - UK Version• Dinner Aboard the Bebop

Yes, yes, yes, Cowboy Bebop is one of the greatest Anime of all time (in my top 3). However, I'm posting to inform you of the following 4 versions of this re-release of the Cowboy Bebop series:

Cowboy Bebop: Complete Series (DVD 5 disc set)
Cowboy Bebop: Complete Series (Blu-ray 4-disc set)
- FUNimation.com Exclusive BD/DVD Premium Edition (Blu-ray/DVD Combo 9 disc set)
Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series - Amazon Exclusive Edition (Blu-ray/DVD Combo 9 disc set)

What I've found so far is the following (thanks to Nicholas Gold for commenting on my original review)

FUNimation Exclusive Premium Edition

* Complete TV series on Blu-ray and DVD (combo pack)
* Exclusive Limited Edition tri-fold packaging in the style of a vintage record cover
* Display easel for packaging
* Four exclusive art cards
* One additional exclusive art card with foil-stamp autograph from series director Shinichiro Watanabe
* As of 9/12/14 Market Price is $89.98 and pre-order price is $64.98 directly from FUNimation [and still $64.98 on 10/5/2014]

Amazon Exclusive Premium Edition

* Complete TV series on Blu-ray and DVD (combo pack)
* Exclusive Limited Edition clamshell art box
* 140 page black and white art book featuring concept sketches and designs that highlight Cowboy Bebop's origins
* 48 page vibrant, full-color art book
* As of 9/12/14 the Market Price is $99.98 and you can see the current Amazon Price above

So, as far as I can find so far, the actual content is the same. In my opinion, the difference is that the Amazon exclusive has more interesting physical extras. However, at a $25 premium. So, if you're a collector and don't mind shelling out another $25, then get the Amazon version. If all you care about is watching the videos, then the FUNimation version may be for you or the Blu-Ray standard edition. If you're super hardcore, than you're gonna tear your hair out trying to decide if you should buy both LOL!

I cannot confirm yet if the actual video (and on disc extra) content is any different between the standard and premium editions.

If you find any other info regarding the differences to these edition, then please post in the comments and I'll update this post with those comments or any info I find as well!

Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite Japanese anime. When I first watched Cowboy Bebop on Toonami on Cartoon Network when it was weekly. I fell in love with this show, and ever since then I've wanted the complete series on Blu Ray. When I saw the flash sale of this Amazon exclusive just before Christmas 2016. I jumped at the chance to buy it, and I haven't regretted it.

The Show: Cowboy Bebop has some of the coolest lovable characters in an anime. The way the show introduces the characters also shows of the amazing writing that goes into the show. Each character has depth and their character interactions is written really well. The story follows a rag tag group of bounty hunters trying to make a living while traveling between Earth's solar system. They are always never successful in catching their bounty, and they do not agree with each other most of the time. However, they seem to get along very well even with their differences between them. Some of the best part of the story is the places they go to. However, the story is grounded in reality, meaning there is no aliens in this series. Cowboy Bebop is a human tale with believable and human characters. (I won't ruin the story for those who have not see the show.) Cowboy Bebop also showcases some great scientific concepts that follows the traditions of Star Trek. For example, when the Cowboy Bebop crew go to Mars. The way the creators of the show portrayed their Mars colonies makes me want to actually go there, and they do it in a way that is scientifically possible in the near future to have similar Mars colonies.

Animation: Cowboy Bebop has some of the best animation that is not soaked in with allot of CG (Computer Graphics). This show is mostly old school animation and is at the very beginning when CG effects takes over. I really enjoyed the art style of this anime from the character design to the design of their ships. Cowboy Bebop is also old school pan and scan 4:3 aspect ratio, and this collection keeps the show in it's original 4:3 ratio. They could have gave it the cinematic 16:9 wide screen treatment, and I am glad they didn't. This collection is also remastered and clears this anime to HD standards.

Audio and Soundtrack: The English voice cast of Cowboy Bebop is spot on, and one of the best in the industry. The Japanese dub is also equally amazing, and it is hard to find an anime that has both amazing English and Japanese dub.
The music is the best soundtrack in anime in my opinion. From the "Tank" intro of the series. Yoko Kanno does an amazing job at blending jazz, and rock together making this soundtrack unforgettable.

This Collection: This is an Amazon exclusive and comes with both Blu Ray and DVD version of Cowboy Bebop. It also comes with 2 collector books that showcase the animation of Cowboy Bebop. I really like that this collection comes with both Blu Ray and DVD version. Most shows only come with either Blu Ray or DVD. The box itself is really well built and the disk is held with in a decent Blu Ray jewel case.

Pros:
Great Story.
Great Characters.
Great Voice Acting.
Great Music.

Cons:
No cons in my opinion

Final Thoughts: I recommend Cowboy Bebop to fans and new comers. This collection may also be a little pricier then say just the Blu Ray edition. However, this collection does come with Blu Ray and DVD and some really cool art books and a really study collector's box.
Also, I received my copy in mint condition. Which I am always happy about. I thought about posting photos but I think there is enough photos from other reviewers.

Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2020
That headline definitely grabbed your attention did it lol; well that is a quote from Spike Spiegel himself!

If you are trying or wanting to get into anime, there is not better starting point than Cowboy Bebop!
Truthfully, this is not an anime but art expressed at it greatest medium.
It is considered one of the greatest anime of all-time or maybe even the greatest!
Why? "It is a mix of Noir along with a touch of cyber punch, glazed over with a comedic touch."

More so, the characters are lovable and differentiate from one another in only 26 Episodes.
Spike Spiegel (voiced by Steve Blum) does a fantastic job of bring this character to life.
The Series is only 26 Episodes but it takes you on a ride from start to finish; as each episode has something you can take away from. Truth be told no matter, how many times I have seen this series; I am always learning something new!

- Packaging is generic with double dual layers to hold 4 discs.
- The menu contents of each episode is on the inner part of the cover.
Highly Recommend "Hadouken"
