>YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT
What did they mean by this?
Since all the character in the show are weighed down by their past, they have to carry that weight, no matter how hard they try to escape it.

It's ironic that people think this is good criticism because they're not saying anything of substance by doing so. It's also like saying that you fully understand the show and whether or not it has meaning and that your standards for "substance" are factual metrics, both of which are egotistical and narrow-minded. If you want to criticize the show, actually say something and know that your understanding of something is just that, an understanding.

it's also forgetting the fact that all art is primarily an exercise in aesthetics and therefore style = substance

How do I appreciate Cowboy Bebop? I watched it and I thought it was okay. I'm an anime babby.

i don't think i'm adequately equipped to answer that question

Not him but you don't have to. It's okay to dislike something or not enjoy it as much as other people. The problem comes when people dislike something for a vague reason and so posts said reason as if it's an attack on the show.

agree 100%. usually fueled by the notion that disliking something popular makes you appear sophisticated.

I have similar thoughts on this matter. I don't like Cowboy Bebop because I don't like Western archetypes and atmosphere. But i can still acknowledge that it is well made.
>tfw you like the dub but other people that do have to fall back onto excuses like it being more appropriate for the setting/tone and/or the myth that Watanabe said that it was better in order to justify their enjoyment of it

I thought most people just liked it without some excuse? The most common thing I hear about the dub is that Blum does a really good Spike, which he does.
