R.I.P. Bebop

I knew it was only a matter of time

---

Man, I shoulda saved the previous hour and then traded for it. Not too bothered, though, since I'd always rather not focus on past winners or runners-up. If anyone has somehow still not seen Bebop, it's a must-watch.

---

oops, I forgot to make my last save. Can't feel too bad about a past winner dropping though

---

hey Yankees, good news: I finally got my HiDive (free trial) account and I'm working through Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden before doing the proper series rewatch.

Finished the Yang episodes (what I assume are all the Yang eps based on the thumbnails?) and am very excited for what I assume are the superior "Adventures of Reinhard and Seigfried"

Well, that's a shame, but it's been hanging on by a thread for a while and it's obviously not a very exciting priority for most people these days considering everyone already knows it's great and it's had plenty of success.

See You Space Cowboy, right?

It should be Reinhard focused after the first arc. The first 14 are Yang, and it's mostly Reinhard and Kircheis from then on. I plan on rewatching these again this year also after knocking out most of my anime backlog.

1) Spiral Labyrinth (14 eps) : Yang
2) Silver White Valley (4 eps) : Reinhard
3) Mutineer (4 eps) : Reinhard
4) Duelist (4 eps) : Reinhard
5) Retriever (4 eps) : Reinhard
6) Dreams of the Morning, Dreams of the Night (4 eps) : Reinhard
7) One Hundred Billion Stars, One Hundred Billion Lights (12 eps) : Reinhard
8) 3rd Battle of Tiamet (2 eps) : Reinhard
9) Dishonor (4 eps) : Reinhard

You're gonna carry that weight.

If we're doing straight up rankings of everyone's favourites Cowboy Bebop would likely be top 10 even now.

But there's only so much praise we can keep piling on to it!

---

Good elimination tbh

Bebop is in this weird category where I think it's a totally fine show but don't really have any idea why it's as beloved as it is.

Strong cast (Spike in particular is a top tier anime protagonist), great soundtrack, and a story that manages to come together by the end despite its episodic nature.

While Bebop is a great show, I think a lot of its popularity in the West is just the luck of being released at the right time. It was the best "mature" artsy action anime at a time when that combination was exactly what Western fans wanted.
