Cowboy Bebop: Anime space adventure-comedy with social commentary and Yoko Kanno's great score. Space bounty hunters skirt the law to bring in big bounties. Result: an empty pantry. Great characters, including Spike, ex-gang member; Jet, a former cop; Ed, a teenage hacker; Ein, a highly intelligent Corgi, and Faye, a scheming girl hiding from a huge medical debt. You'll see the slums of Mars, a Las Vegas casino on a space station, and a "wild west" on a moon of Jupiter. We will look at 20 selected episodes, with discussion of the social analysis slyly tucked into the adventure and gangland rivalries. This is Director Watanabe's 1996 masterpiece on 2022 HD discs.
