COWBOY BEBOP

Image

Aired: 3rd April 1998 to 24th April 1999

Length: 26 Episodes

The year is 2071 AD. With the systematic collapse of the old nation-states, a mixed jumble of races and peoples were driven out of their terrestrial Eden and spread to the stars, taking with them the now confused concepts of justice, freedom, violence, and love. New rules were established, and a new generation of bounty hunters came into being. People referred to these bounty hunters as "cowboys".

Meet Spike Spiegel and Jet Black, a drifter and a retired cyborg cop who have started a bounty hunting partnership. In the converted ship The Bebop, Spike and Jet search the galaxy for criminals with bounties on their heads. They meet a lot of interesting characters, including the unusually intelligent dog Ein, the bizarre hacker child prodigy Ed, and the voluptuous and vexing femme fatale, Faye Valentine.

Could really make an all day marathon for 95-99. There's that much worth watching from those five years. But three hours is enough.

Dare you to play Cowboy Bepop dubbed.

Also, the plot for Utena seems much more interesting than I'd ever given the show credit for; having not paid it any attention ever.

Also, first post in like 2 years because I finally got around to remembering how to log in.

If we're imitating 4chan can I just start a massive transplant of whatever happens to be lurking in /d/ at this moment in time?

Yeah, and it'd probably be something like 2 years before you can post again if you do that.

AVCon at OzAsia will hopefully be attracting some newcomers to AJAS over the next few meetings. Responses from the History of Anime (OzAsia remix) panel (which drew more people in than last time and also had more attend than Angel Beats and Summer Wars! ^^), casual chats and inquiries were far more positive this time.

So be accomodating to them and make them feel welcome. I.e. Keep the internets to the internets. Don't bring that behaviour to meetings.

Looks like every version of Kodomo no Omocha I can get my hands on (be it dvd, d/l or whatever) is borked. Time to call in the back up shows....
