I know it probably does, but I gave it a nine because the first time I watched it, it took quite a few episodes for me to really get interested. Though its the same story for Mushishi and I think thats one of the most perfect anime series ever made. Perhaps I'll boost Bebop's score up, but then the question is do I like it better than Samurai Champloo? I think the finale in Champloo is better but some of the stand alone episodes in Bebop are better than those in Champloo... I think too much.
Thats good news! Now if you can make it to the teens its smooth sailing from there.
Also, its surprising we haven't really picked up on this topic yet. Assuming a lot of you have seen Cowboy Bebop - what do you think of Keanu Reeves (Neo in The Matrix) playing Spike in the live actions movie? Personally I feel he has the height and the build of the character, and with a wig he'd pretty much look spot on. I'm not sure if he'll be able to get Spike's personality exactly right, but I feel Keanu could do a good job. He himself is a huge fan of the anime and he pushed the idea ahead to get the movie made; without him there currently would be no Cowboy Bebop movie in production. The director and animation studio of the anime are working closely with the movie staff so with any luck this could turn out to be a great film.
