These cel-bound wonders are mixed with a sprinkling of CGI that would do Babylon 5 proud. It's obvious that the animators have put a lot more thought into realistic movement than they normally do.

The animation is fluid and subtle-watching Spike fist-fight the week's bounty in the premier episode is a sight to behold.

In a medium where characters routinely jump fifty feet into the air and then produce huge beams of energy from somewhere, CB's realism is welcome and refreshing. What about that past? Ah, but that would be telling. But it's not entirely accurate to say the show focuses on THEM, either, because the star is undeniably Spike. But it's not entirely accurate to say that the show FOCUSES on Spike and Jet, because there are two main characters who join the show in later episodes-Faye Valentine, a sexy, outrageous woman with a shadowed past and no tact (and a wardrobe that the animators seem to enjoy making look like it might fall off at any given moment) and a bizarre 13-year-old girl named Ed (don't ask) who can basically hack into any computer system and provides surreal comic relief on the side. He and his partner Jet Black travel the solar system in their ship, the Bebop (hence the title of the show), tracking down bounties and entertaining their audiences again and again.

They have revived and adopted an ancient title: "Cowboy." 'Cowboy Bebop' focuses on the travels of bounty hunter Spike Spiegel, a tall, lanky martial artist who oozes more style than Baz Luhrmann. A subculture of bounty hunters evolved best estimates suggest that there are over 300,000 in the Sol system alone. But even the ISSP wasn't enough, and so the Police began to put out bounties on criminals. With this expansion came an explosion in the Mafia, the black market, the criminal underworld to control it, InterStellar Space Police was created. Earth was rendered more or less uninhabitable, but the same weird explosion also held the keys to Hyperspace Gates, a safe and reliable form of transportation which the planetless Earthlings used to colonize their solar system. It's a fairly simple premise: around 2020 there was a weird explosion which took out part of Luna and put moon rocks in orbit around Earth in a miniature asteroid belt. So boy was I surprised when I first saw 'Cowboy Bebop.' I'm still in the process of watching all 26 episodes, so I don't know everything about the series, but from what I've seen, it's head-and-shoulders better than any anime out there. When I hear that word I think of Cartoon Network, of the overly wordy internal monologues from 'Speed Racer,' of the pseudo-interesting transformation scenes from 'Sailor Moon,' of one person rushing at another from what appears to be several hundred yards away in 'Dragonball Z,' of convoluted plots and robots that pull mile-long guns out of thin air in 'Gundam 0083.' It's all overly ridiculous, and in their attempts to look 'cool' a lot of animes instead end up looking stupid.
