Gintama (2005)
THis anime is a QUADRILLION times better than Cowboy bebop
This anime is the funniest show ever created - not even the simpsons, south park and Family guy combined would have 1/3 of the funniness of this series.
It doesn't have an overall plot - but as a comedy series it doesn't need one - and there are a lot of longer stories which serve to give you spledid action and emotion.
But what makes this series really epic is the fact that it manages to stay funny for every minute of every of the over 250 episodes! At some episodes you simply cant stop to laugh - not for one single second - And this despite the fact that many of the references are aimed for a Japanese audience.
But even without getting all the Japan- related jokes one still has to watch out not to die from laughter! I would give this show a 11 or 12 or 15 out of 10 if I could!
Gekijô ban Tengen toppa guren ragan: Guren hen (2008)
A QUADRILLION times better than Cowboy Bebop
This anime is the most epic show you will ever watch
It has splendid action, wonderful locations, incredible drama and emotion, exceptional characters and a phenomenal story - its epicness is just beyond comprehension!!!
And it gets more epic and more intense with each episode! Words cant describe the brilliance of this anime!
I would give it an 11 or 12 or even 15 out of 10 if that was possible
After watching the first 5 episodes I wasn't very impressed and I wanted to drop the show - but with episode 6 everything started to get better with an incredible rate - and so a skeptic has been converted into a fan!
Kaubôi bibappu: Cowboy Bebop (1998)
Overrated through bigoted vote of Americans
WARNING MAY CONTAIN Spoilers This is one of the most if not THE most overrated anime of all times I gave it a 1 out of 10 to compensate for the absurdly high ranking on this site. In an objective ranking it would get a 6 or 7 out of 10.
1. This series has no plot - Its just a collection of random episodes - you can switch around half of all episodes with some other episodes without consequence.
2. If you count in the dog and Vicious (who appears in just 5 or 6 out of 26 episodes) then this anime has just 6 main characters - all other characters appear in just one or two episodes - for a 26 episode anime thats just to few.
3. The Animation and the soundtrack is nothing special as well - In fact if you hate blues and jazz then your ears will hurt the entire time.
4. CB simply cant compete with newer Animes like Death Note, Code Geass, Clannad etc etc the only reason it has such a high ranking is because it was the first anime of its kind (space western) targeted for an American audience.
In Japan the anime was a flop and in Europe it wasn't very popular as well. In fact if one would take away all the non-objective votes of all Western loving Americans this anime would drop perhaps two points to a 7 out of 10 which would be a much more suited role for this show.
