Opinions:

Cowboy Bebop, one of Watanabe's greatest works, is know to be in the top 5 of almost every "best anime" list. The show has a perfect cast of characters, each with their own rich backstory, which they must come to terms with. Although this was made in 1998, the animation is one of the best of its time, and can still compare to anime in the first decade of the 21st century. The plot is episodic. If you like jazz, you will love this show, because most of the soundtracks are jazz (plus their spaceship is named after a type of jazz).

Overall Rating:

9/10
