Satellite channel WOWOW picked up the series in the fall of that year and aired it in its entirety uncensored. This was due to anime censorship having increased following the big controversies over Evangelion, as a result most of the series was pulled from the air due to violent content. Well-balanced with high density action and light-hearted comedy, Cowboy Bebop is a space Western classic and an homage to the smooth and improvised music it is named after.Įdit BackgroundWhen Cowboy Bebop first aired in spring of 1998 on TV Tokyo, only episodes 2, 3, 7-15, and 18 were broadcast, it was concluded with a recap special known as Yose Atsume Blues. Thrown off course by the addition of new members that they meet in their travels-Ein, a genetically engineered, highly intelligent Welsh Corgi femme fatale Faye Valentine, an enigmatic trickster with memory loss and the strange computer whiz kid Edward Wong-the crew embarks on thrilling adventures that unravel each member's dark and mysterious past little by little. Mellow and carefree Spike Spiegel is balanced by his boisterous, pragmatic partner Jet Black as the pair makes a living chasing bounties and collecting rewards.

The ragtag team aboard the spaceship Bebop are two such individuals.
