Rule of thumb, Jet centric episodes are the best.

So I can be a bit of a giant bitch when it comes to things that are popular, part of it has been baseless "oh lowest common denominator garbage ufufufu" bullshit in the past but a big reason why this attitude can persist is because I hate being underwhelmed. When I was watching anime, everyone was raving about Madoka - I watched it, I didn't get the hype. As such, I kind of just dislike that shit now. Tried Trigun, didn't like it - the hype turned me off. BvS? Hated it, but I tried to be moderate about it until fanboys and trolls shit the bed and made it out like the best superhero movie of the year - now I can't bother pretending like I can be constructive about it.

The point I'm making is that I have a history of being That Guy, who nitpicks and is generally just an annoying asshole when it comes to stuff that is rated particularly highly. And when I sat down to watch Cowboy Bebop, that shit was rated very highly - best English dub ever, one of the greatest anime of all time etc.

I knew that if I didn't like it in three episodes, I was gonna stop watching and just let it sit popularity run its course with no more input or insight from me - better to say you didn't get into it and move on than to watch something you hate and then talk shit about it for the rest of your life, y'know? So I went in with a reasonable worldview, cautiously optimistic.

As someone who has been that kind of asshole in the past, the kind of person that hates when something decent or even particularly good is overhyped to death by fanboy morons? Cowboy Bebop was fucking great. It absolutely lived up to the hype from the first episode, and I don't say that lightly. It legit is one of the greats, and it holds up ridiculously well.

I feel its overrated, tbh.

The fact theres no overall story really drags it down. Characters rarely stay longer than a few episodes. And Jet as a character was so boring.

That one dude with the horse was amazing though. Best side character. Easily.

There are very few shows in Anime where there is any argument for the Dub being better than the original. The Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star dubs are without a doubt the best versions of the medium. The voice actors ad so much more to the characters the the originals ever did.

You're entitled to your opinions.

But I whole heatedly disagree with your assessment.

Let's just leave it at that.

Dubs are pretty good these days tbh. But yeah Cowboy Bebop's and Outlaw Star's dubs are A+.

I will never understand what's so good about the dub. I think it just sounds constipated.

It's a classic and it's really not that bad. If you really do not enjoy CB I'm honestly not sure I care to know what kind of anime you like. But then I suppose the same could be said about me and certain series.

The "main story" is like five episodes, and of which several are considered to be among the best.
