In the TV version Cartoon Network edited out the leaf and replaced it with a peace sign. User reviews Review. Top review. An exceptionally well-done anime. I'm not a big fan of anime. When I hear that word I think of Cartoon Network, of the overly wordy internal monologues from 'Speed Racer,' of the pseudo-interesting transformation scenes from 'Sailor Moon,' of one person rushing at another from what appears to be several hundred yards away in 'Dragonball Z,' of convoluted plots and robots that pull mile-long guns out of thin air in 'Gundam So boy was I surprised when I first saw 'Cowboy Bebop.

Earth was rendered more or less uninhabitable, but the same weird explosion also held the keys to Hyperspace Gates, a safe and reliable form of transportation which the planetless Earthlings used to colonize their solar system.
With this expansion came an explosion in the Mafia, the black market, the criminal underworld; to control it, InterStellar Space Police was created. A subculture of bounty hunters evolved; best estimates suggest that there are over , in the Sol system alone. They have revived and adopted an ancient title: "Cowboy. He and his partner Jet Black travel the solar system in their ship, the Bebop hence the title of the show , tracking down bounties and entertaining their audiences again and again.
