Cowboy Bebop is a Japanese anime series created by Sunrise and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. It follows the adventures of four misfortuned bounty hunters travelling on their spaceship, the Bebop, in the year 2071.
Cowboy Bebop was a commercial success both in Japan and worldwide, especially the United States. It was later expanded into a motion picture, two manga series, and video games. Sony Pictures released the Cowboy Bebop movie, Knockin' on Heaven's Door to theaters worldwide, and followed up with an international DVD release. Two Cowboy Bebop manga series were created based on the anime; as well as two video games, one each for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles.
Cowboy Bebop is strongly influenced by American music, especially the jazz movements of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s and the early rock era of the 1950s, 1960's and 1970's. Many of its action sequences, from space battles to hand-to-hand martial arts combat, are set and timed to music. Episodes are called Sessions (in reference to musicians playing a \"jam session\"), and titles are often borrowed from album or song names (such as Sympathy for the Devil), or make use of a genre name (Mushroom Samba), and indicate the episode's musical theme.
In the year 2071, the crew of the spaceship Bebop travel the solar system trying to apprehend bounties. In the slang of the era, \"Cowboys\" are bounty hunters. Most episodes revolve around a bounty, but the show often focuses on the pasts of each character and of more general past events, which unravel and connect as the series progresses.
The Plot commonly reaches into the following subplots:
Spike Spiegel is a former member of the Red Dragon crime syndicate who is haunted by a past love triangle between his former syndicate partner, Vicious, and a mysterious woman named Julia.
Faye Valentine is an amnesiac, awakened from a 50-year cryogenic slumber. Her past (a mystery, even to herself) is unravelled progressively throughout the series.
Jet Black is a former ISSP officer and the owner of the Bebop. He bears a cybernetic arm, a constant reminder of his past in the ISSP. He is, like Spike, haunted by the memory of a woman: Alisa, his longtime girlfriend who left him without notice.
Edward is a wacky, genius computer hacker. There is a popular confusion as to Ed's gender (she is a girl). She gave herself her full name (Edward Wong Hau Peplu Tivrusky IV) after being abandoned at an orphanage by her father.
Ein is a former lab animal \"data dog\" (the terminology is never explained) who was enhanced with super intelligence. He is usually depicted to be just a regular dog.
By all appearances, Faye is a 23 year old young woman in 2071. However, she was actually born in 1994 and was cryogenically frozen sometime before the gate incident. Faye is confident, audacious, independent, and somewhat self-centered. She is attractive, with medium-length, dark purplish hair and a voluptuous body. She normally wears a revealing yellow outfit complete with suspenders and a red long-sleeve shirt worn only through the sleeves. She is also quite lazy, but takes time to care for her appearance. She enjoys gambling, and often loses a great deal of money doing so. Faye is a very competent bounty hunter, being skilled in flying and both hand-to-hand and firearm combat.
In truth, Faye's indomitable exterior hides a more fragile interior. Faye awoke from her cryogenic sleep with total amnesia in a mysterious world that she didn't understand, surrounded by people who were all-too-willing to take advantage of her naďveté, contributing to the hardening of her personality. The surname \"Valentine\" was merely a name given to her by the doctor who woke her; the circumstances of her accident, her previous life, and even her real name all remain a mystery, and are only gradually revealed as the series progresses. It has been hinted that she came from Singapore on Earth, and was the daughter of a very wealthy family, as the city's famous Merlion Statue features prominently in scenes of her childhood, and that memories and a film from her childhood showed her living in a large mansion.
Throughout the series, some believe it is hinted that Faye may be in love with Spike Spiegel. Though this is never stated, her attraction may be implied by her interactions with him (Pierrot Le Fou, My Funny Valentine, Speak like a Child, The Real Folk Blues) as well as her fascination with Julia (Jupiter Jazz, The Real Folk Blues). Though he comes to see her as a companion, Spike does not seem to have romantic feelings for Faye, as could be evidenced by his decision to seek and face Vicious in The Real Folk Blues, a decision which upsets Faye to the point where she fires her pistol into the ceiling five times as Spike leaves. However in an interview Watanabe stated \"Sometimes I'm asked the question, 'What does Spike think of Faye?' I think that actually he likes her quite a bit. But he's not a very straightforward person so he makes sure he doesn't show it.\"[1] Relevant note: While many fans believe Faye to be in love with Spike, there are still others who believe her feelings for him go no deeper than the love one has for a close friend, or perhaps a brother. |
