Buy This Item Cowboy Bebop Complete Sessions Collection (Amazon.com... by Pioneer Video  Available from Amazon  $179.88  on 9-28-2008     Each of the snazzy 25-minute installments from the most popular Japanese animated TV series of 1998 is a satisfying adventure tale about a futuristic hipster bounty hunter. This is an elegant action-comedy anime, with smoothly integrated CGI space-flight elements, gorgeous graphics, blues harmonica and sax riffs on the soundtrack, and a no-sweat post-Tarantino attitude. Despite occasional eruptions of gun-fu Asian-action violence, and some intimations of heavy-duty drug use (in the first of 26 episodes, one especially noxious narcotic is administered as an aerosol spray straight onto the user's eyeballs), the tone is surprisingly convivial. None of the generic tough elements are grim or mean-spirited. Lanky antihero Spike Spiegel is a planet-hopping freelance hunter with an ex-cop sidekick named Jet, a loopy fellow hunter named Faye, a teenage computer hack, and a genetically enhanced Welsh corgi assistant in tow. The emphasis is on clever twists of plot in an episodic short-story format with as many wisecracks as punches being thrown. Unrated (suitable for ages 13 and older): violence, nudity, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use, occasional ethnic stereotypes. <I>--David Chute</I> Reader Reviews This item as listed does not actually exist anymore. The Perfect Sessions was a limited edition set that came in a very nice box, each of which was numbered by the manufacturer. I found this out the hard way after I ordered it and got a bootleg. The chances are very likely that any seller claiming to have this item is, in fact, only selling bootlegs with very bad MPEG video quality. Amazon should really remove this listing from their service so that no more affiliates can con people like they are. But as luck would have it, there is finally a real complete series box set out now. Go get the Anime Legends Cowboy Bebop remix.
