What happens when a laid-back bounty hunter with a haunted past drifts through the solar system with a mismatched crew of broken, brilliant misfits? Cowboy Bebop blends noir, jazz, western grit, and sci-fi melancholy into one of the most iconic anime ever made. Spike Spiegel’s effortless swagger, Jet’s grounded wisdom, Faye’s sharp charm, Ed’s chaotic genius, and Ein being, well, Ein — it’s a show that moves like music and hits like memory.

From the action to the philosophy to Yoko Kanno’s legendary soundtrack, Bebop is timeless for a reason.

The salt and pepper senpai, Brendan White is joined in the Sugoi Studio by Australia's finest, Mr. Jono Pech, who is reasonably new to the world of anime, to share their thoughts on an anime that is on many a Mount Rushmore, Shinichirou Watanabe and Sunrise's the nior-western science fiction SMASH, Cowboy Bebop.

At Sakura Society, we’re here to help you decide if this masterpiece deserves a spot on your watchlist — and your soul.
