Awesome! I was actually introduced to Cowboy Bebop recently. I saw the individual session DVDs at a Sam Goody and laughed at the title (Cowboy Bebop's a funny name). I had no clue what it was about. It wasn't until about a year ago I saw my first episode on Adult Swim (the Alien knockoff with the poisonous space sludge; Toys in the Attic, one of my favorite episodes). Ever since I've been hooked. It wasn't until I saw episodes like Asteroid Blues, Ball of Fallen Angels, Waltz for Venus and the Jupiter Jazz episodes that I completely fell in love with it.
Tis a great anime series, indeed. I was never into blues or jazz or anything experimental in terms of music but the tunes in Cowboy Bebop are incredible. It's too bad it ended at 26....
Cowboy Bebop isn't my number one anime, either (Macross/Robotech holds that place) but- I agree- it's very awesome.
