10 Most Compelling Storylines in Cowboy Bebop
----- ADS-----
Cowboy Bebop is still considered a crowning achievement of anime. Decades after the conclusion of its 26-episode run, the tales of Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine, Jet Black, Radical Edward and Ein have immortalized themselves among multiple generations. Part of it is accessibility; the series still sees regular reruns on television, representation in media and, for better or worse, attempts at live-action adaptations. But another part of it is just as important, and a bit more simple. At the end of the day, the show as a whole really is just every bit as good as people like to say.
Cowboy Bebop is still considered a gold standard of the genre, and it’s easy to see why. No matter how much anime changes in terms of trend or style, the individuality and strong storytelling of the series still hold strong against the test of time. Its moody noir stylings and well-defined characters help that reputation, but so do its exciting plots. Cowboy Bebop was almost intentionally underexplanatory when digging into the past of its world, but what exists in the present is undeniably captivating. Today, we’ll highlight the best plot threads across the series as we look at the 10 most compelling storylines in Cowboy Bebop.
Faye Valentine is one of the most iconic women in anime. She still adorns posters, merchandise and lists about favorites of the genre. But despite Faye’s popularity, not much is known about her life. She’s a gambler and bounty hunter in the present, but everything from before is intentionally vague.
