New Yorker
Choose subtitles over English dubbing; the native vocal performances, in Japanese, convey a hypnotizing malaise.

The show's greatest asset is its ability to look cool and be smart in ways that other anime only strive for.

Each of the 26 episodes of Cowboy Bebop exemplify a concerted effort to create artwork, music, plot, and character that best play off one another, establishing subtle but consistent series-long themes and arcs.
