2020-10-03 05:07:03 +0000 UTCI KNOW I noticed and honestly I LOVED it - I'm a fan of the diversity shown and love how different types of architecture set different tones for each of the episodes; I'm a fan of these differences shown altogether. I think it made me dig the episode that much more :)

2020-10-03 04:04:05 +0000 UTCThat was amazing but I definitely don't remember getting so many feels when I first watched these. I'm definitely enjoying once again the style of all the planets, your comments have certainly made me notice a few details that I never paid attention to back in the day.

2020-10-02 23:30:16 +0000 UTCThat makes sense. I guess it's the same as Yoshihiro Togashi and the similarities between Yusuke, the main character from Yu Yu Hakusho, and Gon Freecss, the protagonist of Hunter X Hunter.

2020-10-02 20:27:58 +0000 UTCAh thats ok :-) About Wolf's Rain. As said i love it so very much but for its very own reasons. I hope you like the show as well and without comparing it to the other two shows :-) I know what you mean with the "Bebop look" but i think he just had a great collaboration with the Character designer (Kawamoto Toshihiro) so that he kept working with him. Also many other directors work together again and again with people they like (As Tim burton often chooses Johnny Depp and Danny Elfman). This has its pro and cons as you mentioned. I love Kawamoto Toshihiros art style so much and i can separate it very well from each other. I cant describe it but it gives me just a familiar mood during the watching of these shows :-) I hope V will watch Wolf's rain AND Champloo after Bebop without comparing them with each other!!!!! :-)

2020-10-02 20:23:14 +0000 UTCWell, I'll agree to disagree. I just feel the need to warn people beforehand. See, I, too, followed the same hype, and right after finishing Bebop for the umpteenth time, went to watch Champloo because everyone said "It's the best Bebop follow-up". Lo and behold, disappointment hit me and stuck with me for each of the 12 episodes I watched. Couldn't handle any more than that, struggling to understand what part of it was even remotely similar to Bebop. I guess the dissassociated storytelling would be, for starters, with each episode trying to tell its own story and there being a few "main" episodes, and as I said, the main character being pretty much a re-imagining of Spike if he was younger and from the Japanese feudal era, but aside from that? Not much, really. I get what they were trying to do but for me it was a huge miss, like, every episode felt drawn out and boring, not to mean unnecessarily "comedic". I don't know, either way, these two shows will never compare in quality, so my advice would just be to take the "It's as good as Bebop" thing with a pinch of salt :)

2020-10-02 19:09:46 +0000 UTCI agree with you Alex, in the part, that Champloo is completely different from Bebop. But it hasn't to be and it stands for it self just like Wolf's Rain. And as a Fan of Bebop i can clearly see and feel that the same makers/studio are behind it! So i love them all three so very much but all for different reasons and they belong for me somehow together! Thats why i always say to new Bebop Fans that they should also check out Champloo and Wolfie :-)

2020-10-02 18:44:26 +0000 UTCChamploo is absolutely NOTHING like Bebop. Yes, it's from the same director and Steve Blum voices the main character, who looks kinda like Spike from a feudal Japan era, but aside from that, literally nothing is like Bebop. Bebop is a masterpiece in everything, storytelling, music, animation, every bit of it is a work of art from any angle you look at it. Champloo is just... meh. At best. I know opinions are subjective, but trust me, after watching Bebop so many times that I know every episode and every voice line by heart, I can tell you without a shadow of doubt that Champloo is not, and will never, ever be, even a quarter as good as Bebop.

Even the building you saw is the exact copy of a Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey called Sultan Ahmed Mosque. It's cool to see that Venus has a significant Arab and Turkish population in the series.

2020-10-02 10:19:18 +0000 UTCWooo! Anything like Cowboy Bebop? Easy, Samurai Champloo. From the same director who worked on Cowboy Bebop, Shinichiro Watanabe.
