About Cowboy Bebop

In 2071, roughly fifty years after an accident with a hyperspace gateway made the Earth almost uninhabitable, humanity has colonized most of the rocky planets and moons of the Solar System. Amid a rising crime rate, the Inter Solar System Police (ISSP) set up a legalized contract system, in which registered bounty hunters, also referred to as "Cowboys", chase criminals and bring them in alive in return for a reward.

Our take on Cowboy Bebop

This landmark anime follows a ragtag crew of bounty hunters drifting through a jazzy, lived-in future, each haunted by a past they can't outrun. Effortlessly cool, melancholy and genre-blending, with an unforgettable score, it's widely called one of the greatest anime ever. If its style, mood and bittersweet soul hooked you, seek out atmospheric sci-fi anime and space westerns where cool surfaces hide deep wounds.
