IT'S HARD TO FIND SOMETHING THIS FUNNY
First of all, I'm not a fan of anime at all, and I don't like TV in general. I bought this series without hesitation, though, after I watched the movie. If you don't know anything about this, the series director is Shinichiro Watanabe, one of the asian directors the Wachowski brothers approached to direct the short animation pieces that conform "The Animatrix", the anime installment of the Matrix franchise. That means: this was done by a heavyweight. Now, if you watch anything related to The Matrix, you'll miss what's important about Cowboy Bebop: sense of humor. These people make one of the wildest mixes of contemporary culture, rivaling with things as big as Tarantino's Kill Bill or Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle. I mean: they go from "Alien" to blacksploitation to film noir, to chambara, to Kubrick, to Calvino to Bruce Lee..... They've watched a lot, they've read a lot, they've listened to a lot of music, and they have the wit to make fun of all that. I mean, they don't brag about it, so you're safe: this is not an academic excersise as presumptuous as other TV series. This is just pure fun and good eye candy.

Excellent Series, Decent Packaging
First of all, the series itself:

I'm not going to spend my time explaining details about a show you can find on thousands of sites across the net. I will, however, recommend this series to nearly anyone. Cowboy Bebop blends action, drama, comedy, and an awesome story flawlessly and is deserving of 5 of 5 stars.

I'd suggest at least watching the series whether you are a fan of anime or not, and although there are plenty of episodes that are technically stand alone, I for one believe you cannot truly appreciate this powerful series until you watch all 26 episodes in order.

Second, for this individual product:

I rated this four stars primarily because of the packaging. As I said, the series is definitely worth a 5/5, but the packaging could have been better. The case contains two "pages" of disks, plus a disk on the inside of the front and back cover. The two disks on the covers are fine, but the four in the pages are very, very difficult to get out. It's possible after a while your disks could be damaged.

You could probably fix the case with a dremel or some sandpaper to the "latches" that hold the disk in, but I really don't recommend that. Any dust left in the case could scratch the disks, or you could shave off too much and your disks will be too loose. Your best bet with this set would be to put the disks in another disk case if you have one.

Greatest Anime Ever!!!
I first got this series from my freind and watched the whole thing in three days. It was so great I had to buy my own. If you have never watched anime before this is a great introduction. If youa re a veteran and havn't at least seen this, then shame on you. This is 6 DVD's and contains the entire series for only $40. This is a steal!!
