Cowboy Bebop

So the fourth Anime Series that i have watched fully is Cowboy Bebop.

It is a masterpiece. That is the word i want to say about it.The music,animation and characters are just awesome. It is in a competition with the Neon Genesis Evangelion for the first place, in some list it is number one and in others it is two and the NGE is number one.

It also holds the typical japanese animation style and also almost the same psychological aspects(loneliness,problems with past,rage,love etc etc) of NGE. But it concluded with a more original or natural outcome as we see in real world. That is why i like it.Overall i will give it a 10 out of 10. where NGE would get 8.

Whoever have not see it i strongly recommend it.

I think there is no fanservice. Ofcourse there is bare skin but they were not shown intentionally like NGE.(there are two or three scenes that are almost fansiervice) but The camera angles did not took close ups with those parts.

So unless i say something about clothes and the western sexualization and the lack of dress sense conversation does not happen in forum.

Every time it is the same case.

If i knew Cowboy Bebop is not as popular among taverners then i would not have made this thread , i would have posted it in what are you currently watching thread. I thought as it has almost the same hype or sensation or ratings like NGE and GITS among tv spectators, it must be great[which it is] but it is not as popular or loved here or more broadly among hardcore anime fans.

However i found one good reason for that it is the same thing that started the subtitle vs dubbing thread. And that is not everybody likes Americanization or westernization of Anime shows or movies. As Cowboy Bebop takes a lot of influence from western world , i think that is why it is not as popular among hardcore anime fans. That is why they like NGE or GITS more than Cowboy Bebop.

Am i right?

N.B: Of course i am . LOL [yeah its kind of fun that you had to scroll down to see this]

Yeah, I don't know where the idea of Cowboy Bebop being unpopular comes from... I haven't got round to seeing all of it, but I prefer it to NGE and I'd say that in general it's really good.

Sorry for that

when i saw even after 3-4 days there were no comments about it[how it is ,if someone liked it or not etc etc], but for NGE there were many[ and after the saying there is fanservice in it,the number increased even more].

So i thought you guys dont like it very much.

Posted by saviour2012 on 08.09.2013, 04:38 AM:

Shinichiro Watanabe the director of the Cowboy Bebop said that he will make a live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. Which is probably going to be western-japanese production.It is in production probably

However if this is a promo of that [might be scam too]
then i dont want to see that.

a reason why anime directors suck at live action. A reason why live action directors are considered of much higher position in terms of prestige.

You didn't notice how heavily sexualized the female lead character is? How exposing her clothing is or how there's shower scenes of her but none of the male characters?

I updated the post about a completely different thing[about the live action movie] than this however as you have given your valuable time to reply let me say i said there are couple of scenes that can be said to be fan service. Now sexualizing the female characters is a completely different aspect of the series, i thought you all love that and i think i have i wasted too much of my time making you guys understand that Nakedness is not Natural it should not be exhibited in public etc etc. If that is the thing i wanted to talk about then almost each and every foreign film or shows i see has this aspect. If it gets too much embarrassing for my eyes i just skip it as i watch most of them in my Workstation. There are some very rare films that have been able to express it's massage without sexualizing,demeaning[such as war movies] or emphasizing[superhero movies] anyone. But in this age it is almost not possible anymore[for etc etc. but most importantly business]. When roar said to me in NGE thread that even cartoon is japan is R in some other countries then i searched about it a little. I found out something really bad. The matter is in countries where adultery and some other things along these linesTRY THIS LINK is viewed NOT wrong,there i do not stand a chance for my points.So although i am hugely annoyed by the Nakedness showed in the shows i am ignoring it for discussion. Even you guys who i think [as you all are great ghibli fans] are intolerant for pornography and stuff still do not agree with me about the things about dress sense and other matter.So i did not mentioned it.
So that is my view on the matter thanks
