- Cowboy bebop is something you really need to think about to enjoy fully. There are a lot of symbolic and provocative elements to the show that you don't really recognize until you watch more than 3 episodes. That's hard to do if you aren't
invested in it because each episode stands alone well enough to entertain on the surface and there is a underlaying feeling of, "I don't know what is going on" in the entire show which is unattractive to most. It takes a bit of dedication to get into it but I'd highly recommend it.
http://www.overthinkingit.com/2009/11/09/overthinking-cowboy-bebop-introduction/ is a nice introduction to why the show is so full of
interesting stuff. Also, people legit wrote
essays on Cowboy Bebop. You could probably teach a film class on this show. The episode analyses are very good for the most part and facilitate thinking if you read them after you watch the episodes.
Also, again, music is amazing.
