watched it first time a month ago.
does unfold its charm only when the crew is finally complete (ep9+)and then sometimes lives up to its hype. the group dynamic is something very unique.
ends unsatisfying and generic.
but episodes like the magic mushroom make up for it all.
its overrated but still very good.
I generally dont watch any anime made before K-on or shows that are sub-720p so you could say all of those aged poorly.
Eureka 7 is a special example because I used to like it but I cant bear any mecha animes these days.
Fuck you faggot.
A top 20 all time series easily, neck yourself for even making this thread.
>replying to an obvious bait thread without saging
>>159839083
I think you mean Jin but okay.
>>159841154
Probably thinking of outlaw star. All those J names sound the same.
>>159840181
the anime also implies that vicious was being abusive to julia and that's why she cheated on him with spike
>>159839882
NTR changes people.
>>159841059
>A top 20 all time series easily,

>>159841942
Great artistic direction, well defined and memorable characters, deep layered stories and superb OST. What else do you want?
>>159841984
its either RFB or jupiter jazz but in the flashbacks you see that vicious has been using red eye and at one point mocks julia for thinking that she can leave him or the syndicate
Trigun
Couldn't get past the 3rd episode on the rewatch
>>159842238

>>159842086
I only watched the dub. All those ching chongs sound the same to me.Some of her songs are nice.
>>159842170
okay? i think the point is that julia left him because he's a piece of shit. and then he threatened her when she tried to leave
>>159842386

The only way to make a Bebop thread without 9001 replies telling you to fuck off to /v/ or reddit is to disguise it as a bait thread
>>159837900
I could get past ep 3 when i tryed to rewatch it.
it just looked so cheap.
And i bought the dvd box ...
>>159841553
Well they pronounced Jin like we'd pronounce Jeane, so I assume thats the confusion
>>159842386
Yeah but you're conflating their personal and professional lives. She could have left Vicious without leaving the Syndicate.
It's pretty clear from their interactions and the credits that Vicious used to be a different person. That he changed. The smile seen at the top here >>159839882
is basically unimaginable in the present day Vicious we know.
>>159838956
I disagree but you are entitled to your opinion.
I felt Champloo's finale was weaker. There was more talking during battle and I thought them having a flashback to Jin's master talking about the technique he used to win was pretty uneeded and killed the pace.
Bebops ending was just much smoother
>>159842640
Cowboy bebop looks cheap? Boi...
Unless you mean Champloo. Because Champloo's animation quality fluxed pretty greatly. Some eps looked great while others looked crappy
Daily /a/ contrarian thread? Daily /a/ contrarian thread.
>>159842931
>Boi
>>159842820
I agree, I would have liked to see a little more influence from samurai film. An episode like seven samurai would have been excellent and it would have been great to see a true final duel between Jin and Mugen although I understand that the series was overall far too lighthearted and watanabe too reluctant to end the series on anything but a happy note.
>>159837900
No, it has better animation than currently airing anime
>>159842820
Champloo's last 3 episodes were flawlessly done, brought the show from a 6/10 right up to an 8.
>>159843116
It had better animation than anything to come after it at all

>>159843157

>>159843420
>watching anything without Megumi
Why?
>>159843431
I was being quite sincere. Pls don't bully me anon.
>>159843157
I definitely disagree with that. They were good, dont get me wrong, but hardly flawless.
I thought the blind lady's episodes were more compelling. Partially because we got to know her as a character for an episode before we learn shes there to kill them.
The finale's villains both came from nowhere. Its fine with the government assassin guy I guess, but the guys after Mugen have a grudge against Mugen for something we never really saw before they showed up.
I dont think its a great idea to introduce the final enemies on the last episodes, especially when their reason for being there is so personal

It was literally a direct adaptation of the manga, sure it's a decent enough thriller but the anime doesn't improve it anymore than it needed

A lot of the runaway hits have been either mini-series or functional mini-series, with a progressive, self-contained plot. Stuff like Stranger Things and Game of Thrones, ya know?
Basically, what you're saying is, you've got normie taste and like to watch Netflix. That's weird that you'd just outright admit that around here, but it is your life I guess.
>>159843330
Thank you for this post. I know that unironic sincerity generally comes at a premium here on /a/, but the show was a true masterpiece. Shows like NGE were accidental masterpieces, but Cowboy Bebop had so much talent and effort put into it that is certainly an achievement. I don't recall a show that does this "just going through the motions" feel better than CB, only Texhnolyze comes to mind but it goes for a very different thing. Genius show. Quintessentially /a/.I'm still carrying that weight...

PIC FUCKING RELATED
It was only amazing for its time
>>159846856
Yeah, in its own way Bebop captures what it's like to be an adult or maybe even a person better than 99% of shows out there. There's complaints itt of it being episodic but life doesn't have some constant focus on a particular plot. That's not to say it's arbitrary, the weight of the past is always there and it informs the thoughts and actions of the crew. But we only get real glimpses when it's relevant, the narrative isn't forced, it lets us the viewers infer and feel things out for ourselves as these guys go about their everyday struggle just to be.

>>159838783
I rewatched the BD release recently and I have to say the quality of some scenes was still pretty bad. Particularly that episode with the fridge monster, there's that one like 10s zoom in on Faye that was noticeably bad.
Still a 10/10 show though.

GITS suffers the problems that a lot of Oshii movies do: beautiful art and animation hampered by a stilted story and Oshii wanting to hop up on his soap box and philosophize.
None epitomize that more than Patlabor 2.
At least Oshii had was kept somewhat on a leash for GITS and Patlabor 1. He got off the chain and off the hook with GITS 2 Patlabor 2.
>the best version of the Bebop BD isn't up on Nyaa anymore
fuck what do
>>159843330
Bebop is one of those anime I can't call bad, but it never really did anything for me.
I can't say the soundtrack isn't fantastic, or that Watanabe's direction is bad. I can point to bad episodes, like Boogie Woogie Fung Shui, but that doesn't detract too much from the whole.
In the end, it's an extremely finely-crafted show.
I just had more fun watching Outlaw Star.
>>159847753
As a piece of scifi, it's really cool...but I just couldn't find it very entertaining. I've gone back and watched it several times trying to see if it was just that I was missing something...but no. It has really cool animation and artwork but in the end I just didn't find it engaging. I may have been spoiled on it though, as my first experience was the english dub, which I won't hesitate to say is the worst dub I've ever seen in my life.

>still no dbz
there is a reason kai exist, too bad they changed the latam dub
Non meme answer: Blue Submarine No. 9. The CG looks like a bad ps1 cut scene and it's incredibly difficult to stomach it at this point in time. The fucking Starcraft cutscenes were better animated, and they were garbage.
>>159842697
Interesting you bring that up, Jupiter Jazz alludes to this several times and it's never brought up again. It has me wondering if the threat of cancellation made them change priorities with the second half, since that two-parter feels like its own show when taken in account with the rest.
>>159849027
Kai existed because of Toei's marketing department reselling even less of an old thing at a higher price.
It's a fucking abomination and everyone who liked it should be shot.
>>159848763
Kinda have to agree. Aside from the episode in bebop where the leftover lobster becomes a sapient mold monster, it wasn't really memorable to me aside from the soundtrack and a few rare moments. It's a great show by objective standards, but I think it takes a certain person to really appreciate it fully.
>>159849094
You mean Blue Sub Number 6.
Which, yeah, suffers from a bad case of GONZO.
The story was pretty crappy, too. Especially the ending. People only remember it for that fish waifu.
>>159849102
Yeah, I would even go so far as to say everything before they were forced to release the Mish-Mash Blues episode feels a bit different from the other half of the show.
>>159843330
>digibro
Classic neo-/a/ and exactly why Bebop threads should be shitposted to death.
>>159849228
My bad, been a while since I saw it, but my point stands about it aging terribly. Frankly the only reason to watch it is for Range Murata's wonderful character designs.
>>159849286
I can see what you mean, everything up to Jupiter Jazz kept raising in scale and felt like it was building up to something, whereas the later half went full-on self contained with each episode until the final two. Still, none come close to Jupiter Jazz in the drab and depressing tone. Even the grey, overcast ghetto isn't something you'd usually see in Bebop.
>>159849443
Yeah, speaking of Range Murata and GONZO, I've been wanting to rewatch Last Exile but have been afraid it won't hold up.
>>159849094
>>159849228
>>159849443

Blue Submarine Number 6 was garbage of the highest order from the first second.
>>159849561

But yeah, I gues we tend to express too strongly given this is impersonal and anonymous. Nothing personal, you know,kid.
>>159849863
Personally I still think Eva (for example) couldn't be done any better today than it was then. The problem is that animation didn't improve on old styles, but replaced them, so if you find CG shit annoying like I do you'll alwyas look back at old anime with fondness.

Well I was twelve when I saw it so it's not like I had any idea what was good or not, I just liked the pretty pictures and cute girls. Plus at the time all I had was a ps1 so it's not like I knew what good CG looked like outside of Toy Story. Sorry I misunderstood you, glad we smoothed things over.

oh god, same.
I didn't know about it before. I just wanted something similar to Rahxephon and this crap showed up on MyAnimeList. As soon as I saw these "Mechas on Surfboards" I was very underwhelmed. maybe I'm really too old for any of this shit. Not even Macross does much for me. Maybe I'm gonna bingewatch Gundam or some shit because I never cared for it before.
>>159843286
Dude, I was thinking about watching that too.
You know what I enjoyed reading? Macross 7 Trash. Unironically, it's not Trash at all. it's pretty damn cool because it's also a romance story in a sci-fi setting. Can recommend. The only problem is that there is no anime for it. Macross Frontier I can't seem to get into either. So I don't know yet about the Macross 7 Anime. Musician protag seems to turn me off.
Can someone explain the resolution shit I keep hearing? Why do people not want to watch old anime because it isn't 720p plus or something like that? I never really understood why resolution is such a big deal.
>>159861568
