General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

I just watched the first episode of Cowboy Bebop and I really like it. I'm glad that it's not hundreds of episodes long, I'll probably finish the series.

You absolutely need to. It's fantastic.

Can I ask why people find this show so great? I seem to be the only person to not be interested in it. All people keep telling me is that it's the best cartoon anime out there, but when I watched it, I got bored really fast. Maybe it's like Evangelion and Naruto, which I never got into but everyone else has. To each thier own, I guess

It actually didn't fair all that well in Japan if truth be told. That's why it only had like 26 episodes. Its well received in the west because it was based around western themes and did them well. People in Japan just didn't "get" it. Now personally, I love Cowboy Bebop, but I can see why people who like the anime humor wouldn't.
