RELATED: New ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Trailer Features the Three Bounty Hunters Tracking Down a Criminal With Style Ahead of the live-action premiere, it’s a great time to see if the renowned classic is the show for you, so here are seven essential episodes of Cowboy Bebop that demonstrate the show’s range and characters. Netflix has produced a live-action adaptation starring John Cho, Daniella Pineda, and Mustafa Shakir that releases in November, and the original animated series will also be coming to Netflix. It’s never been a more exciting time to be a fan of Cowboy Bebop. The show follows a group of eclectic bounty hunters - Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Ed - as they cruise the galaxy on the Bebop, hunting criminals to turn a measly profit while running from the ghosts of their pasts. Its blend of science-fiction, Westerns, and noir storytelling, as well as the jazz-filled score, give the anime a distinct tone that stands out from other 90's anime. Created by Shinichiro Watanabe in 1998, Cowboy Bebop is considered one of the greatest anime ever aired.
