Okay, 3, 2, 1… Let’s jam! Cowboy Bebop is finally coming to Blu-ray in North America, and we want you to celebrate with us!
For the next two weeks, we’re going to be running a very special Cowboy Bebop Jam Session, showcasing fans like you—and us–sharing why Cowboy Bebop means so much and how we’re going to celebrate the new release.
To join us, just post your Cowboy Bebop thoughts to your favorite social site using the hashtag #BebopJam. You can see everyone’s posts at http://funimation.com/bebopjam, and we’ll be sharing our own as well—starting with this video in which FUNimation staff members explaining Why We Love Cowboy Bebop:
We’ll be spotlighting our favorites over the next couple of weeks, and we’ll ALSO be sharing them with famed Cowboy Bebop director Shinichirō Watanabe and the rest of the Cowboy Bebop team in Japan — so bring your A-game, bounty hunters! And don’t forget to pick up your copy of Cowboy Bebop!
Bebop is SO MUCH MORE than crime and bounty hunting. It’s travels through space and cyberspace; it’s growing up, growing old, getting to know our future selves and thus getting to know our own world. It was me crying at the end of the 2-parter “Jupiter Jazz”, and crying again watching the video-within-a-video of Faye in “Speak Like a Child”. It was the production geniuses behind “Macross Plus” getting together again in 1998 to jump-start anime in the 21st century. Thanks, Space Cowboys.
