I ask this about Akira all the time. Can't believe they made this in 88.

But yes Bebop and Champloo are my 1A and 1B
why can't you? everything back then was hand drawn and not CGI models like the majority of anime/cartoons are today

Quality hand drawn art will always be timeless....and its easy as hell to put the shyt on bluray with it still looking incredible

Studios now do digital art to save time and money...but it don't have that same polish
i would argue that new stuff is too polished. it lacks the 'bounce" for lack of a better term that hand drawn on paper animation does. mainly because the lines are too smooth and they dont take enough time.

The episodic nature of the show can be a tough sell. You gotta get through off the strength of the characters, soundtrack, and quality of the individual stories with this one.

The show just oozes cool and that English dub came down from the heavens :blessed:
show has the BEST english dub ever for episodic anime

I know the details (cel animation) I'm just saying at times I'm still amazed at times at how great it holds up 30 years later especially with the advancement of technology in animation.

That Akira bike chase is a top 5 scene in any anime. The whole movie is legendary, but that bike scene was on another level.

And Cobwoy Bebop is arguably the GOAT TV anime.

Spike's first gunfight with Vicious and his goons...
Meeting Radical Edward in episode 9...
When that lobster went bad and started attacking everyone...
Learning about Jet's backstory...
Mad Pierrot and that whole fight in the amusement park...

That series had too many GOAT moments.

Bike chase scene is definitely too classic.


Loved how the Lobster Monster and fridge made a cameo in Space Dandy
