Oh, it's offical. "Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door" is going to be released in NYC and LA on April 4, 2003. It should expand to other cities afterwards. It's going to be fucking awesome, up there on the big screen!

What's that song that was played before the Chruch scene in 'Ballad of the Fallen angels'...?

[Reply #43 on:]

I know it's called "Rain". I forget who sung it. It's on my CB soundtrack case, which, alas, I cannot find.

[Reply #44 on:]

I just downloaded 'Go Go Cactus Man'!!.

Hurrah!.

[Reply #45 on:]

I hope the movie will be a widespread release instead of in a few select theaters. There are so many anime films that deserve real good sales at the box office *cough* SPIRITED AWAY *cough*

I've just rented Best Sessions last week and after seeing the first episode, that pulled me in. It is poignant, even from the beginning of the series. And the atmosphere that was set in "Ballad of the Fallen Angels" was good, like the vocal music playing as Spike fell down thru the church window.

Releasing a "Best Sessions" series is dumb since I would rather watch the series in order, but it was the only CB rental available. The artwork for the box looks pretty good, though.

The Music that was playing after Spike was thrown out Window was called Greenbird.I have the Japanese sung version on MP3.Say the word and I'll E-Mail it to you.

[Reply #47 on:]

Good news for me at least. From AICN, the Cowboy Bebop movie ("Knocking On Heaven's Door" ) is confirmed for April 4. Still in limited release, I think, though.

Oh, and other good news (for me)...FUNimation's redubbing the first 2 seasons of DBZ. So it won't be so sub-par anymore.

4th of April..All I need now is a stout crate and a plane to America.

[Reply #49 on:]

So after seeing the final episode I was impressed, and at the same time sad and also angry.  CAUSE that was such a COOL show!    I mean walk into a building drop a grenade and kick at a buncha mobsters (sounds like fun, I'll have to do it sometime)....  Anyways because that is the end of the series I'm kinda upset.  I suppose Spike coulda lived, but then the background story with Julia would have to be dropped.  So anyone got any ideas for how the show could go on?  And let's pretend the episodes weren't made in 1998 and it's 2002 

[Reply #50 on:]

*Shrugs*
Ed might have came back.

Spike and Faye's love interest might have continued.

[Reply #51 on:]

I don't really like anime shows, but i fine Cowboy Bebop to be very tolerable, i watch ocationally.  BUT Dont you DARE get me started on Outlaw Star!

Why do these moron's post there hate for anime in an anime thread..?

EDIT:It makes no damn sense.

[Reply #53 on:]

Personally I liked the way the series, I think it's better for a series to end with everyone liking it rather than going on to long an aleinating long time fans :cough: simpssons:cough:

Oh and Nurdbot you pretty much answered your own questions, anime haters post in anime threads because they ARE uneducated simple as.

[Reply #54 on:]

Agreed with Wu. I can't imagine "Bebop" without Spike. They told their story. It wrapped up relatively nicely, and it works fine. A series with just Jet and Faye would be severly lacking.

That's why I like anime. 26 episodes, it's over, and everything is wrapped up. I'd hate to see something overstay its welcome.

[Reply #55 on:]

They are right,Read some really bad Bebop fanfiction to prove there point.

yep that's what I mean it's just that some anime doesn't know when to quit and let the characters die on peace, and stay dead silly Dragon balls bring people continuosly back from the dead.

[Reply #57 on:]

Spike diserves his peace.

Well, SOOOOOOORRY.

[Reply #59 on:]

Yeah I agree, without Spike the show really isn't much.  AND the story's backbone really was Spike's past, and closing it like that was REALLY the best thing.  But I mean, as good as the episodes were, another set of episodes would be welcome.  They could just do simple storylines that could be set up between episodes (they really aren't on a timeline) just like the movie was.  All they'd really add is more action, some interesting stories, and also ummmm more action.  I swear the violence, blood, gore, and death (action)  in this series is awsome, I love it, that and the originality of each episode.  Well thought out!

Just for you curious Americans....

Trigun's hitting Cartoon Network Monday, March 31st at noon. The same day that Futurama restarts its cycle. Be there.

I once saw this site that show some class project of a live-action version of Cowboy Bebop. The actors don't seem to fit the roles, it looks cheesy, and they say they spent $600 on it. Sounds like a bad idea, IMO.

[Reply #63 on:]

600..?..God.

[Reply #64 on:]

<333 Radical Ed <333  She's so cool.

[Reply #65 on:]

Almost everybody likes Ed.

[Reply #66 on:]

What about Spike?  He's obviously the best....  Lazy and kicks ass!

[Reply #67 on:]

Everybody loves Spike.He's a very likable character.

[Reply #68 on:]

One of my mate brought up an interesting question.
Why is Ed's Dad so damn hard? Spike could not hurt that guy it was like wahh

[Reply #69 on:]

Because he's naturally tough, by living on Earth all these years. Ed takes a lot of damage, too, and manages to pull through without a scratch. (ie, getting electricuted, falling on her head.) It'd be safe to say her father is just tougher.

[Reply #70 on:]

Okay I thought it might be because he sucked eggs.

[Reply #71 on:]

So he beat Spike.Boohoo.

[Reply #72 on:]

Yeah and he took alot of Spike hardest kicks and was not even phased.

[Reply #73 on:]

I'll try to get this topic back up to speed. Shovel in more coal!

In a gunfight or melee combat, who do you think will have the edge, Spike or Gene Starwind? I was gonna make it Spike vs. Vash, but that's sort of a giveaway.

[Reply #75 on:]

I started a Spike VS Gene Starwind poll back on the TMFFA Board, The results were Spike.

Gene's Castor was taken away of course, To make it fair. But Spike mainly won because many people like his snappy clothes.

Also in Stray Dog Strut, The young man that nicks Abdul Hakeem's case looks kinda like Vash. And at the end why the homeless guy has got a bandage around his mouth?

And the Pet Store owner looked like Angela Lansberry.

[Reply #76 on:]

i dont know how old this topic is, but...

i just watched the last episode of bebop. i can quite honestly say that i am touched. it was amazing, and wrapped up the series perfectly. wow.

[Reply #77 on:]

i agree with Evan that Julia was a bit dissapionting. I'd thought she'd be ravishing & fun, but she was so tame to the idea i'd had.

apart from that, I love the entire series & the movie. I like how the series stayed action & didnt develop into a romance. 

[Reply #78 on:]

I think that maybe, that was the point.

The real Julia couldn't live up to Spike's ideal memories of her.  He can't let go of the past, and in chasing after it, he ends up getting killed.  It's almost like The Great Gatsby.

[Reply #79 on:]

Indeed.
