Cowboy Bebop - Remix: Complete Collection (2008, DVD)

Of course no one could make Bebop any better except by making MORE Bebop, unless it was simply to take the Bebop we got and give it better sound than the original recording could do. And this is just what the Remix does: turns squashed dvd two channel track into Dolby 5.1 surround - much more in keeping with what Yoko Kanno's Master would have sounded like should we have been there to hear it recorded live. For those of us who aren't so lucky, Miss Kanno still never sounded so good. If your skin (and mind) reacted to her incredible soundtrack on the dvd you'll be bowing your gozimatsu's (excuse my spelling) like the Energizer Bunny when you plug this one in to a home theatre set. I bought the Remix one volume collection just to have a back up of my precious Bebop plates full stop, but what a thrill ride I got as an added bonus when I gave them a test ride to check for defects and relived the soundtrack in it's upgraded version. Beauty. Even the spoken dialogue is better, and you who know the series well are aware that some of the characters, Vicious, especially, likes to whisper almost his already low, slightly growled lines. In 5.1 they come in clean and clear through a separate channel, so Real Folk like myself with hearing defect Blues (pun intended - my bad) appreciate the clarity. Of course it means bombs and bullits are also sharper, too, so I'm kinda glad in my set up they hit on a different channel (and speaker) than the one I tend to cuddle closest to deliberately to catch speach. When I want to hear the songs like - geeze my minds' blank - I think it's 'In the Rain', anyway the music to the two episodes "Ballad of Fallen Angels" where Spike and Vicious duke it out Gun&Sword style as they prefer - I get into the sweet spot configuration to get all the nuiances of every chord and instrument and voice.

Remix is worth getting in Single volume just because it's Cowboy Bebop and if it keeps selling enough they may be convinved to bring it back to life for it's 10th anniversary (Stateside) with a totally new series (NO, SPIKE IS NOT DEAD and I can PROVE IT WITH SCENES FROM THE ACTUAL ANIME - and even if he were - who cares they can do a pre-quel like the movie), or a new movie.
BUT, the music in 5.1 Dolby makes it all the better. A BluRay of the Movie will be coming out, too; so that will be worth for picture quality, you can't beat Miss Yoko Kanno at her best and the Original Series is where she shines in the Bebop universe.

No wonder it has been voted the best anime in history by people in the industry. Ten years after it was made. Cool is always cool.


You can never get enough of the Bebop.

BUY IT. TREASURE IT.

Read the title... :D It is without a doubt the greatest anime series EVER. Although only about 5-7 episodes are serious, with the rest being about a group of misfits hanging around, you CAN NOT be dissapointed with this great series.

Shipped fast, un-opened and was re-assuring when I asked questions. Am going to keep an eye on seller for other titles I'm looking for.

Come on, we all know this is "voted the Greatest Anime of all time," theoretically speaking. Cowboy Bebop aired Cartoon Network countless times and received prestigious ratings world-wide. The good thing about this is that the set is the COMPLETE collection and REMIX-ed for that matter. Why spend 24.99 for each DVD when you can pick this up for less than 50 bucks? The sound is digitally remastered as well as some or the majority of the animation, so this is the absolute must-buy anime dvd this summer!

For those who have not seen the series, the episodes are all entirely different and there are hardly any one of them that connects chronologically. Fortunately, each episode represent a portion of all the characters and with various themes/styles for each. Check this DVD set and buy!

This series is probably the most complete story since "lain". The artwork is astounding and the music grabs you at the first note.

This is the real-deal not the 3 DVD bootleg import with questionable quality. It is a breath of fresh air that this set is re-released at a fraction of the cost of the Perfect Sessions Boxset. If your collection has less than 6 DVD's you most likely have purchased the unlicensed import.

Cowboy Bebop is great, Adult Swim really got me into the series. I am usually not one for what I call "space anime" or "mech" and I thought this would be one of those. I am gald I gave it a chance. The charachters are flused brilliantly, with each charachter having an episode dedicated to them. If you like this anime I highty recommend Samurai Champloo, which is directed by the same guy as this.

This anime was one of the few good ones.You know when you've seen it, and end up buying the import because the real deal is running around $100.00 plus?So when a set like this comes around once in a great while so grab it.Cowboy Bebop is a futuristic anime who's main characters start as Jet and Spike.Spike who was an Ex mob affiliate and Jet The Ex Cop who's past are behind them, team up as space bounty hunters.Soon the two man crew becomes four not counting the dog and the story unfolds nicely.Check it out its one of the good ones.9.5 out of 10.
