Is there any cartoon series that matches this?

Rick and Morty

>>91260268
Nope.

>>91260268
Nope. The last airbender is the closest that comes to mind but Cowboy Bebop was far darker and more adult.

This has been a thing long, long before Cowboy Bepop did it.

But I can't help but feel like Tales of X-9 had some inspiration from Cowboy Bepop. The sepia tones, blatant noir references and the way X-9 reveals his story feels very similar to the way Spike's story is presented (Cowboy Bepop itself is extremely referencial).
It sure wouldn't be the first time Samurai Jack had referenced anime.

Probably the closest show to Cowboy Bebop content-wise is Star Wars Rebels.

>Mostly episodic adventures featuring the crew of a unique spaceship.
>Steve Blum voices a character
>The characters banter a lot but get along in the end somehow
>Action mixed with occasional serious moments

Only main difference is that the cast of Rebels is pretty bloated to accommodate fanservice of other Star Wars characters, and that is has more reoccurring characters and villains.

>Zeb is Jet but as an alien. (voiced by Steve Blum)
>Kanan is Spike
>Chopper is Ein but as a shittalking robot.

I always felt like the thing that made Cowboy Bebop was not the individual elements like music, stories, characters, scenery, etc. but how they fit together and compliment/contrast each other.

Over the Garden Wall is the only cartoon I can think of where all the elements fit together perfectly. Even the stuff it references like Fleischer Bros. cartoons and the Divine Comedy fit into the overall "feel" of the show.

Samurai Jack seems like a pretty obvious answer as well. A setting consistent enough for the main cast to do whatever they want while simultaneously being loose enough for the writers to make up whatever scenario they wanted.

I thought this thread would be about bashing anime but most of you guys seem to like this show, is it worth watching?

There's no anime that matches it either.

GitS SAC and Trigun come close, but GitS subject matter leads it tonally down a different path and conclusion while Trigun goes a bit too Eva.

There's comics that match it. Not really any cartoons though.

You don't sound like a very Dandy individual.

>>91264905
To be fair, according to the creators its not a definite end.

People asked them for fucking years if (spoiler thing) is true or not.

They joked about it for years before only a few years ago while discussing the possibility of a new series saying that they intentionally left it open-ended. If they never make any more, the (spoiler thing) happened. If they do choose to, which is based on if they decide they have enough more stories that they want to tell to keep the adventure going, then it doesn't.

That thing is Spike dying. He just collapses after taking gunshot wounds, something we've seen him shrug off before. Even when the thematic "the end" music was playing the previous time he suffered massive wounds.

The problem is his story arc with Julia is resolved, Jet never really had enough going on to resolve in the first place, Ed and Ein are at a place where they can be left, and Faye's plot isn't enough to keep the crew going on her own.

>>91261360
Seeing as the Seatbelts sell out every time they perform there, its likely our generation of Elevens hate it, because they have stunted minds and shit taste. Seppuku Japs (Gen Y who committed themselves to eternity over Evangelion) likely love it as they should.

>>91265855
Too comedic.

Dandy is "Excel Saga Does Cowboy Bebop".

We're trying to come up with an equivalent.

>reddit the Japanese Cartoon meets reddit the American cartoon
Beautiful.

>>91262141
I agree with this, because of something that happened to me. When I first watched Cowboy Bebop I did it while I was rewatching Samurai Jack in preparation for the new season. I watched CB first and then SJ. And right after one of CB's episodes Tale of X-9 showed up and it blew me away how the first shots of the episode made me think I was still watching Cowboy Bebop.

>>91265334

>We're trying to come up with an equivalent.
I realize, but that's not really a practical exercise for a distinct show. You're not going to find an equivalent of something that's unique; only similar concepts and executions.

>>91265941

>>91265946
Yes, but Space Dandy is explicitly a more humorous take on shows like Cowboy Bebop. They're both space shows focusing on a small crew doing... stuff, and tone is incredibly integral to each episode.

It'd be like comparing TTGL to any mecha show, KLK to any Sailor Moon esque show, or Konosuba to any 'trapped in a fantasy world' show. They can all be good and enjoyable, but some of them are written as part of a genre and others are parodies/love letters of those genres.

I was thinking just flavor of the month/moeshit, then regular anime/manga

>>91262495
Huh.

I'm honestly curious about this if you don't mind going into a bit more detail because Cowboy Bebop is one of the all time greats here.

>>91261360
no, /a/ doesn't like it. they consider it not Japanese enough.

>>91266140
And additionally I wonder if we'll start to see more shows focusing on the Monster girl subgenre of harem comedies.

I mean, when you get right down to it Monster girl stuff really focus on looking past the physical abnormalities and loving the girl regardless, so one could argue that Katawa Shouju fits the same mold- Demi-chan follows the same ideas to support such a claim. Even Dragon Maid and Monster Musume being much more harem explores the same ideas of physical differences and new experiences.

I wonder when we'll start to see western shows trying to fit this idea. One could argue that SU has shades of this, but it's much more a magical girl anime twist than a monster harem one. Maybe Star Vs dips into it as well if the nonhuman characters get more screen time?

It's clearly a young subgenre that needs a few more shows before being considered legitimate, and more years still to make the hop across the pacific, but I'm fairly confident that a disabled/nonhuman haremesque show will air on American TV sooner rather than later.

>>91265753
New Types and the ideology surrounding them arn't supposed to be a good thing. Hiro and Char are both called New Types by first the Z empire. It's their psudeo Nazi facist eugenics philosophy and Unicorn takes the ball and runs with it in the wrong direction. IBO is about the transformative cost of War, children literally raised in it. It's hiro's arch from the original MSG expanded. Can you call the people who thrive in such a fucked environment 'superior'?
Unicorn asks the same question and answers it yes. The Ubermensch are real and they're God's only special Snowflakes and they have a Destiny to fulfill flying transforming super robots which can only be fought by other ubermensch in other transforming super robots.
Any impact of circumstances on the common man is hand waved at best and 'justified' at worst.
TL;DR Unicorn isn't good enough to be social darwinist fan wank.

>>91266140

I think the point you're making is fair, although I don't know if I'd separate metatextual examples from their regular genre counterparts for the purposes of comparison.

In any case, I'd certainly say that Space Dandy is as "good" as Cowboy Bebop.

>>91266243

In the same time, for examle, I see how dramatic attitude is mixed with plain silly cartoonish story elements and it bothers me.

I dropped Cowboy Bebop, its episodic nature didn't do it for me.

This isn't all that untrue.

It's completely untrue. It has no basis in reality.

FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.

Anime is at it's fucking best when it's weird as shit.

Oh yeah and there IS an anime BETTER than Cowboy Bebob.

It's called REDLINE BITCHES

>>91265334
I'm not gonna pay any attention to anything else, but how the fuck does Futurama beat Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw star? And this is coming from someone who LOVES futurama.

>>91265930
More like the 20th 'serious' or so.
Probably the 40th overall.
Watched a couple hundred since.
Its still my favorite.

>>91271016
>Anime is at it's fucking best when it's weird as shit.
This
The best thing about anime or animation as a whole is that it's not bound by any rules of physics or big budgets like in movies. You can make an anime about the craziest fun shit yet people still want serious and realistic things because it feels more serious and "mature".

>>91270974
You're wrong.

>>91271132
No, people want it because it's more relatable and thus usually more interesting. It's really difficult for normies (and even many autists) to get into deeply abstract media unless it's their niche or something.

Not in space, but Samurai Champloo.

>>91271016
>>91271132
I'm not even talking about weirdness. A lot of mundane things in anime trigger Westerners.

>>91271135
People have for years circle-jerked and echo-chambered each other into believing there's nothing good except 5-10 mainstream anime even if they've never seen anything outside of those anime, and they think that Western preferences are the only yardstick by which things can be measured even though anime is not even made for Westerners.

>>91265334
>lexx
>garbage

fuck you, buddy

>>91271260
Western preferences are the only yardstick by which things can be measured for Westerners, unless we're talking weeaboos or something.

>>91271358
Not everyone has those preferences, and preferences can change.

And no, weeaboos have nothing to do with this. They have nothing to do with anything.

>>91265709
08th ms team was decent

>>91271358
Weeaboos and westerners in general literally have no impact on the kinds of anime that gets created.

>>91271215
Not in Japan, but Michiko & Hatchin

Probably, that one show about your mom matching /co/'s dick OP

>>91269940
Well ok, he didn't come back he 3rd or so time ;_;
He would if he surieved

>>91271415
>>91271715
Which is stupid, because the Japanese studios are missing out on a vast untapped market of normies.

>>91260290
This show is OK at best, nothing to gush over like high school edgy 16 year olds seem to.

>>91269219
Do you have surround sound? Check the audio controls something isn't set right.

>>91265356
What the fuck just happeend, I thought this was all just giant robot fun shit.

>>91271834
It's not an untapped market (see Dragon Ball for example), but it's not one that can really be pursued. The Japanese are not likely to have a good grasp of how to appeal to Americans, and even then every new anime is a shot in the dark and nobody knows if it'll be a hit or not. And if they try to appeal too hard to Americans they might alienate Japanese audiences. Then there's the question of whether the American market is even that profitable.

>>91262141
>not the first SJ referenced anime

What did it reference?

>>91271132

If the American market isn't profitable no market is.

>>91272083
The Japanese market is profitable.

>>91272230

Enough with this meme already.

>>91261360
Maybe the new generations, but from some googling it seems that people in Japan loved it. Its just an issue of the new generation of Japanese that for the most part don't really know of Cowboy Bebop. Much less like it.

You have a plethora of anime and manga in Japan. They are inflated with it that you get lost in the amount of anime is out there. As such I wouldn't be surprised that you find people that don't like it simply because it is vastly different to much of what is being produced today.

Its similar to Goof Troop, how many people in the younger generations (here in the West) know Goof Troop? Or even Rocky and Bullwinkle? People know popular things that get lots of advertisement and promotion. Think Disney and WB properties. Even with big corporations pushing their properties to the forefront there are some aspects of their properties that get forgotten, lost to time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_Bebop#Reception

>>91272483
A lot of old anime is still referenced, but I've never seen any trace of Cowboy Bebop in the collective anime consciousness of Japan.

And the generational issue wouldn't be any different in America, where everyone knows CB.

If you don't like something, just arbitrarily associate it with something that's considered bad by the audience.

>>91272745
Tumblr, the post.

>>91272148
Live action movies use a ton of CGI, that's way cheaper than traditional animation. It doesn't look as good too, but that's another discussion.
The captain Harlock movie costed the same amount as Redline, and it had cream of the cream CGI.

Well this and rurouni kenshin. As an adult I realize DBZ is highly overrated

>>91273128

Trigun still holds up. The animation can get rough in places but on a storytelling level it's still aces.

>>91261360
Why, because it doesn't have any doujins? It won awards and won the anime grand prix twice or at least ranked highly, can't remember.

>>91261360
I've heard one of the reasons it had problems in japan was because of serious delays between episodes in it's original airing while when it came to the west all the episodes were done.

>>91273233
I dunno man, Outlaw Star is the best my nostalgia goggles can do, I loved Trigun then but I tried to rewatch it a few years ago and it was a solid 6/10

The Maxx and Moral Orel are better. Though Cowboy Bebop isn't the best anime either and there are ones that surpass those two.

Lexx is bad.

>>91271731
This. All three have the similar adventure vibe.

FLCL is the shit, but I wouldn't even compare it to Bebop...just seems too different. Still great.

It's really interesting how similar Sayo Yamamoto and Watanabe are tone wise. Like obviously they've been in the industry and work together a lot but a lot of their shows seem to have incredibly similar vibes.

Michiko & Hatchin is like Sayo trying to do Samurai Champloo
Yuri on Ice feels like Sayo trying to do Kids on the slope.
