RIP

made this for a friends grad cap

from ep. 2!

Today, I got my Cowboy Bebop complete series Blu-ray signed by Shinichirō Watanabe. On his birthday, no less! I'm unbelievably happy that I got the chance to meet such a prolific figure in the industry. He is a legend!

Made a traced image of a drawing of the swordfish by u/RtistKaizen. Gonna graduate with style!

I recently ordered the book "The Works of Shinichiro Watanabe: From Cowboy Bebop to Lazarus," which includes a list of Watanabe's top 100 films. They don't appear to have been posted on this sub before, so here they are (limited to one film per director):

And here's a breakdown of his selections by country and decade:

The book also includes one-sentence explanations for each of his selections. I had to use Google translate for those, and only a few of them are particularly illuminating (e.g. Point Blank's "My own flashback scenes might have been influenced by this"), but if people are interested, I can post all of them in a comment below.

Hi all, I am looking for a book of the Cowboy Bebop (series and/or movie) storyboards -- as many as possible. A cursory search of "Cowboy Bebop Art Book" or whatever turns up a number of hits but it's hard to know which book (if any) has the most storyboards. I appreciate any guidance!

I watched CB so many times, listened to its OST a hunredfold, and I can pretty much pinpoint every single song to the scene it's been used in, but not all of them. Is there some reference sheet which explains for every song where it can be found in the anime?

Alright, I'll start, adding something from time to time.

Tank! - Intro

Rush - ? First episode, Spike fights with thugs and is saved by Jet. Maybe second episode? Might be "NY Rush"

Spokey Dokey - First episode, two times, first and last scene, while Spike is training in low-g.

Bad Dog No Biscuits - Second episode, Ein flees, Spike and Abdul Hakim fight.

Cat Blues - Almost sure it's recurring theme in "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui"

Cosmos -

Space Lion - Closing of "Ballad of fallen angels"

Waltz for Zizi - Recurring, twice in the last episode, when Spike and Jet tell their stories

Piano Black -

Pot City -

Too Good, Too Bad - "Wild Horses", space fight.

Car 24 - "Brain Scratch", during advertising

The Egg and I - Recurring, once in "Speak like a child" while exploring the museum.

Felt Tip Pen - Recurring

Rain - "Ballad of fallen angels", right before entering the church. The album Blue has a Steve Conte version while the anime has a woman singing. Woman version should be in the CD Box.

Digging My Potato - "Sympathy for the devil", one of the songs in the club. Suddenly I'm not sure.

Memory - First episode, the very first song we hear.

Still "No Disc" and "Blue" to go.

Im curious what demographic makes the majority of Cowboy Bebop viewers. I wanted to go deeper with age, ethnicity ect. but unfortunately could only add so many options. If you are curious too, put your demographic and we'll find out :)

That pretty much completes my left arm.

Watching my favorite anime movie!

Booked this super cool restaurant for a cowboy bebop photoshoot!

I'm working on a board game based on the x-wing miniatures game, using ships from Cowboy Bebop.

I can find plenty of info on Swordfish 2, Hammerhead , Red Tail, and Bebop, but nothing on the other ships in the series.

Does anyone know anything about e.g. the ships Glen and Vicious fly in Jupiter Jazz part 2? What kinds of ships does the syndicate use? Etc.

If anyone knows pretty much anything about the ships that appear in the show that are not listed on the fandom wiki, please let me know!

....and damn, I wanted more. I really enjoyed it and wanted to see more of Spike, Jet, Faye, & Ed
