How about the action in Cowboy Bebop?? That's some of the coolest hand to hand fighting I've ever seen! I love how they motion-blur it, too, it's very stylish.

And Spike seems to dance as much as fight during those action scenes... the boy's got style that's for sure.

oh yes! the scene when he fights in the hospital in the movie is really good! you actually do think he's dancing! (to repeat Lion's good words)

Yeah, Spike's fighting style kicks major butt. It's called gi-kun-do (sp?), it's the style Bruce Lee created. It's where you borrow from all fighting styles, even boxing, to use the techniques that suit each individual best. Spike's movements are all so fluid, he even comments in an episode that you have to be like water, and react smoothly to whatever happens. Go with the flow, to be cheezy about it. ^_^;

i've never actually seen cowboy bebop. i guess i'll have to go to blockbuster and hope they have it ur somethin. or sansrio but i'm not sure they have any of it...;_;

Blockbuster might have at least the movie, or the "best sessions" discs. Probably not the whole series, but better than nothing.

yeah I like his fighting style and Bruce Lee's.Spike seems to beat everyone in that fighting style lololol........

Yup! He's so laid back that people aren't expecting him to be that good! Hahaha, little do they know he's about to kick their butts!

ahhh ze spike he seems soo cute and ed *wispers to mel*she's crazi i think she has problems but she's funni

*whispers back to angelfeather* I think you might be right... but hey, as long as she doesn't hurt anybody. :)

My bro just got the movie in original format! I watched alittle and it is good. Full of western-type action.:bg:

kewl

Its a sci-fi action and tragic series with a wester comnination of guns and styles ^_^ its quite okay and the theme was planned exactly what they want the audience to feel. The comedy episodes hides the tragic history of each character.....

its really good!:bounce:

The music is also kewl!

It also happens to be a very deep story on many levels. There are various themes running through it, like being honest with yourself and others, finding a place where you belong, taking responsibility for your actions, and letting go of the past. Some characters suceed better than others, but they are all carrying around baggage.


*Spoiler*
It says it right at the end: "You're gonna carry that weight." For all of you youngins, that comes from a song by the Beatles (called the Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight / The End). You won't really get the full significance of the entire series if you're not familiar with the song (the Beatles are HUGE in Japan, so most of their audience was familiar with it). I wish they had used the full quote, since it applies better: "Boy, You're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time." Which is exactly what Spike has done. He's been carrying the burden of his past so long, he can't even see his future, and ultimately looses it. The most appropriate point comes at the end of the song, and it directly applies to all of Cowboy Bebop.

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
