Cowboy Bebop also explores several philosophical concepts including existentialism, loneliness, and existential ennui.

A Cowboy Bebop film was later released to theaters in Japan and worldwide.

In 2001, Cowboy Bebop became the first anime title to be broadcast on Adult Swim in the United States.

Cowboy Bebop received widespread critical acclaim and became a commercial success both in Japanese and international markets, most notably in the United States.

Cowboy Bebop is now considered to be one of the greatest and most influential anime of all time.

The world of Cowboy Bebop is filled with anachronisms.

Thus, Cowboy Bebop was not just a normal anime series produced by Sunrise.

The most important of the many elements of Cowboy Bebop were its sophisticated and mature existentialist and philosophical concepts.

The balances of the atmospheres of the planets and the racial groups of the people in Cowboy Bebop mostly originate from Watanabe's ideas, with some collaboration from set designers Isamu Imakake, Shoji Kawamori, and Dai Satou.

The staff of Cowboy Bebop established the particular atmospheres early in the production.

Watanabe wanted to have many racial groups appear in Cowboy Bebop.

Mars was the planet most often used in storylines in Cowboy Bebop.

" Toba explained that each planet in Cowboy Bebop had unique features, and in the plotlines the producers had to take into account the characteristics of each planet.

Toba explained that it was not possible for the staff of Cowboy Bebop to have a dramatic rooftop scene occur on Venus, so " we ended up normally falling back to Mars ".

Despite its setting in the year 2071, Cowboy Bebop inhabits an " organic, lived in, and believable " universe that " feels familiar to modern audiences " due to its anachronistic setting.

Futuristic elements are combined with the modern elements, " allowing audiences to easily connect with the Cowboy Bebop world ".

In his review of Cowboy Bebop, Miguel Douglas, editor-in-chief of iSugoi. com, describes the style of the series:

Certainly not as pristine a future we would see in other series or films, Cowboy Bebop decides to deliver a future that closely reflects that of our own time.

Cowboy Bebop was that rare breed of science-fiction: " accessible ".

It is said that Cowboy Bebop reflects this and it is a great part of the show ’ s appeal.

Cowboy Bebop pays homage to several films.

Watanabe's main inspiration for Cowboy Bebop was Lupin III, a crime anime series from the late 1970s through the mid -' 80s.

These continual borrowings from other genres and cultural products create a familiar access point for a western audience and must in some part explain Cowboy Bebop ’ s popularity.

Unlike other anime and manga, where jokes and references are often exclusory or require knowledge of Japanese culture and / or the workings and conventions of anime, Cowboy Bebop is accessible – western audiences can connect with the characters readily and more fully understand their motivations and struggles.

Big Shot, the fictional news source within Cowboy Bebop which provides information on various bounty heads, is a parody of the Western genre.
