Movie Reviews of Cowboy Bebop Remix, Volume 1
Movie Review: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW...IN 5.1?
Summary: 5 Stars
Spike and Jet are united in cause but their backgrounds couldn't be more different. Spike used to work for a crime syndicate while Jet worked for the police. We don't really know how they've ended up together on the ragtag spaceship Bebop but their primary means of income is bounty hunting. And they don't really do such a good job of that, seeing as how they rarely have enough money to pay for meat to go with their noodles! And then they have to rescue a kidnapped data dog named Ein, who is 100% mongrel, but is more intelligent than he lets on. Faye Valentine is another addition to the crew. This stunning and sexy misfit is over 100 years old but her outlook and body are still in youthful shape. Too bad her debts have followed her down the line and she's blackmailed into performing a gangster's errand. What with environmental terrorists and Spike's old comrade Vicious showing up to start a gang war, it's going to be a long while before the Bebop sees any peace!
This is the series that heralded anime's breakthrough into America. Forget about Akira and Ghost in the Shell. This was the first show to really connect with non-anime fans like me and then led into the viewing of other shows and then manga and so on. It's a great show to get non-fans into the medium. The animation looks way beyond the budget of most Japanese TV and is close to motion picture type quality. Even the cast is amazed of the money it took to produce Cowboy Bebop. The acting and the character design really make the show. There's no teenage mecha pilots to be found here and that's a good thing. The English dub is first-rate and probably the greatest dub I've ever heard. Bebop is pretty much the only show I do not listen to in Japanese. The sci-fi elements add a visual punch lacking in such films as Star Wars and the music by that Mozart of anime, Yoko Kanno, completes the great elementary formula for one of the greatest shows ever made. Luckily, unlike a lot of anime out there, Bebop is episodic in nature and does not get dragged down by the weight of heavy story arcs. The pieces of the character's pasts are given a little here, a little there, without ever wasting much of the present.
Of course the main draws on the Remix are the 5.1 sound and what seems to me to be a better picture than previous releases. It looks a lot sharper. There is a hilarious commentary on the first episode by the Japanese actors that played Spike and Jet while the commentary in English is staid and boring. Many promos and commercials and an interview.
