Cowboy Bebop helped launch Adult Swim's anime block in 2001 and is often credited with bringing anime mainstream in the US. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe at Sunrise and scored by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts, the 26-episode 1998 series follows a crew of misfit bounty hunters in 2071 — Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed, and Ein — chasing dwindling paydays across a colonized solar system.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore the crew of the Bebop, the films and television run, Yoko Kanno's legendary score, the show's Adult Swim debut, the Red Dragon Syndicate and Spike's tragic past with Vicious and Julia, and the ill-fated 2021 Netflix live-action remake.
Yoko Kanno composed the score, performed by her band the Seatbelts. The genre-spanning soundtrack — jazz, blues, rock, and big band — is widely considered one of the greatest anime scores of all time.
Cowboy Bebop's original TV Tokyo broadcast in 1998 only aired about half of the episodes due to the show's mature themes and violence. The full 26-episode run aired later that year on the satellite channel WOWOW.
The series closes with the iconic on-screen text \"You're Gonna Carry That Weight,\" following the events of the final episode \"The Real Folk Blues Part 2.\"
