Heh

Pretty good description of Cowboy Bebop. I haven't seen that episode yet (DVD no. 1 had 5 shows) but I know the characters. The premise:
Its like the future, and its one of those wierd futures that kinda retro or whatever- i guess lots of sci-fi is like that. Anyways, the main characters are Spike and Jet, and theyre bounty hunters. The name of their ship is Bebop (it doesnt talk though) and theyre like space "cowboys", so thats the title of the show. I dont know much about anime- I've only seen a few movies (usually the ones that were considered really good) and so I dont know how typical Bebop is compared to others. Theres like stupid humor, then ultra-violence, then its really serious suddenly, then back to like slapstick comedy. If they toned down the comdey a bit, i'd probably like it more, but eh- wierd show.
ANYWAYS, so Jet and Spike always having wacky luck, so they usually dont get the bounties theyre after- so theyre always broke and hungry. The girl was some con-artist that joined the group like in the 4th episode (shes all crazy and annoys them, while wearing SUPER-SUPER-SKIMPY clothes!) and the dog, his name is Ein I think, was from the 2nd episode- all these people were after the dog (its a "data-dog") and its holding some super crucial information, but somehow the wacky crew of the Bebop finds the dog and just keeps it with them not knowning how valuable he really is. And the dog is super-cute, but not SO cute to be annoying.

yeah, im sure i've totally provided you guys with some real usefull information. fuck it, i'll watch all the dvds if they have them at the library. its pretty bad, but kinda interesting none the less (better than any Will&Grace, EVER.)
