Cowboy Bebop: Session XX - Mish-Mash Blues

For any cowboy bebop fan, this is a gem which you do not wanna miss out! :) It is not a typical special nor is it a recap. This is a somewhat insider episode which let every of the main cast speak for themselves therefore giving us another chance of better understanding these great characters with so much depth! There is not much to say, only that not watching this if you are a cowboy bebop fan, then you will miss out something quite good ^^ And even for people who have watched the series long time ago will probably still love it because it really highlights theirpersonalities and also showing some great moments from the series itself ^^ Don´t waste your time reading my review, go watch it!

An absolute classic, love it or hate it, Cowboy bebop has spanned across a wide audience, making millions of fans all over the world, the show may seem American on its core, but it managed to pull interest from people with different cultures, is it the animation? no, maybe the story? probably both,; or even something else, either way, all of us who watched the origin series, can relate, this one, however, is special release, that never been aired outside of TV programmes, and only made it as a Bonus episode, showing off what a portion of the audience might have missed... - Story (5.0/10): There isno story backing up this animation per say, an all in one description would call this, a compilation of shots from scenes that never made it on Tokyo's TV programmes of the Cowboy series, due to excessive violence and suggestive content, all there is to it, is some philosophic commentary by the main cast, across all different the thirteen fist episodes. - Art (8.0/10): I've always admired this unique feel of the Cowboy Bebop animation, the colors and art style are just a rare type of eye candy, that seem to have extracted from modern animations, you don'"t get unbelievably beautiful characters with exaggerated eye sizes, or explicit body anatomy, no, it's all based on realistic human anatomy and faces, most of the characters are ugly, reflective, that's what we get in real life, it's a lot more suited to works that expand on our societies. - Sound (5.0/10): I'm giving this one a high score just because the nostalgia I'm getting is killing me right now, and as they sauy, nostalgia is a drug, the opening and ending songs, ugh, I'm getting back those days of my first experience with the main series, the soundtracks are just a killer in this one, but as for the voice acting, I watched the original in the english DUB, and that xwas one of thebest I've seen, I couldn't really take the most of this one, as I only stumbled accorss the SUBed version, but no more complains right? - Character (8.0/10): We get to see the Bebop crew all over again, not for long though, just snippets of what it seemed to be a great journey up ahead, the way how Fye sounds like a desperate young adult, that's very skeptical about her backstory, or Jet, the guy who's been stabbed many times in the past, both physicaly and emotionally, and then, we get our careless Ed, and his companion Ein, and finally, there is the cool badass dude, that acts and sound cool all the time without being so boring and predictibale, Spike, the crew does vary in personality, and as we 've seen on the priginal, they do fight moung thjemselves a lot, but something is strong keeping them all together, that strange nbond is a first for me. - Enjoyment (7.0/10): As much as I love this series, I couldn't feel the same way I did watch the original or the movie, this was very blunt for me, probably because I got used to the English voice acting when it comes to this one? I did enjoy the philosophic talk though, whilst it kept consistent with what was going at that point in the story, it meant something more, but some others were just terrible if taken out of context, like what Ed said about following strangers, probably that's why there were so many cuts from the series huh? - Overall (7.0/10): I would probably not be that excited to talk about this pick or bring it up on anime related conversations, Many people do not enjoy Cowboy Bebop for the classic it is, many of which are the youngsters, and I can understand where they are coming from, but still, this episode doesn't really add much to the experience as a whole, it's only for those hardcore fans, who would like to see more of the Bebop folks, no matter it was.

"This Is Not The End. You Will See The Real "Cowboy Bebop" Someday!" I never expected a recap to be this good. People might have skipped it coz of the common misconception that it's a recap of the first 13 episodes. But in reality, it is a collage of all those messages that we could never properly understand that the show called "Life Lessons" Story: - Montages of the same plot, but was great to see everyone talking so freely. Art: - Same as the original.Sound: 10/10 (Soundtrack was really catchy and the music was amazing, which goes without saying) Character: 10/10 Viewers got to know what the characters really were on the inside. Enjoyment: 8/10 Overall: 8/10 Definitely worth a watch.
