About Cowboy Bebop
- Released on April 03, 1998
Cowboy Bebop is a popular and critically acclaimed animated science fiction series that was later adapted into a feature film. The show is set in the year 2071, when humanity has abandoned the largely uninhabitable Earth and colonized the rocky planets and moons of the Solar System. The series follows the adventures of a group of bounty hunters, or "Cowboys," who travel the galaxy in their spaceship, the Bebop, chasing down criminals and bringing them to justice in return for rewards.
The main characters of Cowboy Bebop include Spike Spiegel, voiced by Koichi Yamadera, a former member of a powerful crime syndicate who has left his past behind and now works as a bounty hunter. Spike is a skilled fighter and pilot, with a laid-back and carefree attitude. He is joined in his travels by Jet Black, voiced by Unsho Ishizuka, a former ISSP officer who lost his arm in the line of duty and now works as a bounty hunter to atone for his past mistakes. Jet is the more serious and responsible of the two, serving as the captain of the Bebop and the voice of reason in their partnership.
In this futuristic setting, the Inter Solar System Police (ISSP) has set up a legalized contract system, in which registered bounty hunters, or "Cowboys," chase criminals and bring them in alive in return for a reward. This system has become necessary due to the rising crime rate in the colonized Solar System, as the vast distances and lack of a centralized authority make it difficult for the ISSP to maintain order. The Cowboys provide a valuable service, tracking down and apprehending criminals who would otherwise be able to evade justice. However, the life of a Cowboy is not an easy one, as they often find themselves in dangerous situations and must constantly be on the move to avoid detection. Despite these challenges, Spike and Jet embrace their roles as Cowboys, using their skills and wits to bring in the bounties and make a living in the vast and lawless frontier of space.
