Cowboy Bebop

Twenty-six episodes of jazz, regret, and the coolest sci-fi production ever animated.

Shinichirō Watanabe and Yoko Kanno built a show out of moods. Every episode is its own short film — genre-hopping, tonally precise, anchored by a crew that never overstays its welcome. The finale is one of the landing-the-plane moments other shows still chase.

See you, space cowboy.
