Its been a while, but I distinctly remember reading in some anime magazine that there was a new Cowboy Bebop movie in planning which mostly focused on Spike and Faye in some adventure together. I've Googled, but found nothing. Anyone else remember this? No, it was not Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, the article in the magazine came long after that movie was released. Surely I'm not the only one on the whole internet to remembe this? 65.81.8.122 00:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
It's apparent to me that the DVD cover used on the main page is identical to a pirated version from a company called FX. This may encourage readers to buy the pirated version instead of Bandai's official releases. I suggest a different image to avoid confusion, possibly one from one of the six DVDs in the legitimate edition. Also, you can't really tell from the image, but the legitimate edition is rather bulky; it contains six normal DVD cases stacked back-to-back. The pirated edition is a fold-out case, and is much slimmer.

isn't there also an edition with 3 session DVDs (eps 1-26) and 1 movie DVD that's not pirated? -11 Nov 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.22.77.134 ( talk) 14:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
There is no legitimate 3 disc edition. There was a collection with only a few episodes called the Best Sessions or something like that, but it is not the image that is shown on the page. Bandai released a remix version that is still 6 discs and has a different. The version shown currently is an illegal bootleg and really should not be on the page as was stated above. It could very easily mislead people in to believing that the "perfect sessions" are legitimate when they are not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.189.253.222 ( talk) 03:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, so I found a source that shows that only 12 episodes of the series were released in the initial Japanese release, and then the whole series was released on the WOWWOW network after it switched. I can't find sources to back the speculation that Eva was the reason that the show almost never made it to air, that the last episode was delivered the day it was meant to air, and that there were intentional problems with the time slot. Can anyone else prove this? Hewinsj 05:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

"After the advent of space travel, the bounty system of the Old West was reinstated by the government to help curb growing crime levels. Bounty hunters are encouraged to capture criminals and return them (alive and relatively unharmed) to the authorities for monetary rewards, in part through a regular television broadcast of "Big Shots", a bounty-hunter news program featuring a heavily-accented Mexican and a perky blonde with mostly-exposed breasts. These bounty hunters are now referred to as "Cowboys" in slang. In addition, ruthless crime syndicates have large influence in the Solar System, indulging in such fields as bribery, murder, extortion, drug dealing, money laundering and other criminal offenses. The Woolong is the universal currency, and paper money is less common since more people carry convenient money cards and rely on digital transfers."

I deleted the section on the "ban" of Cowboy Bebop in Iran. That film is not any more "banned" in Iran than any other unauthorized film. The legal process required for producing domestic films and releasing foreign ones in Iran leaves no place for bans.
All media is unauthorized and therefore "banned" unless it becomes authorized by going through the legal process. Put briefly the media approval process in Iran works not on the basis of "innocent until proven" but on that of "guilty until proven."
Most of the media content released worldwide never goes through the process and is therefore "banned" in Iran but that, of course, doesn't mean it cannot be accessed by the Iranian people.
Just in case: IMDb is wrong about a ban on Cowboy Bebop in Iran, and that mistake has leaked into Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.133.203.247 ( talk) 14:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
'Bang!' is actually a relatively common thing in Anime. It was also said as the final line in Gantz, and was also used in Trigun a number of times. It can also been seen in the Live Action Death Note movie, as well as a ton of other places I can't even remember. Considering Cowboy Bebop originally aired on Adult Swim, I'm not entirely sure if it was a DIRECT 'influence' on Pop Culture even though Steve Blum voiced Tom and also voiced Spike. I think it's just a funny coincidence honestly.
As a side-note, can anyone here actually EXPLAIN 'Bang!' to me and what that's supposed to symbolize/represent/mean? -- 136.142.46.33 ( talk) 20:46, 30 September 2008 (UTC) It's merely the noise a gun makes :/ that's the best I can explain it. -Robobvious 96.233.64.228 ( talk) 20:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Aside from being a gun noise, it is used to reference Spike's conversation with the "kid" at the end of Sympathy for the Devil, who asks him if Spike understands what it means to want to die, or to be relieved by death (I don't recall his exact phrasing). Spike responded by saying "Yeah, I understand... As if," then tossed the kid's harmonica in the air and shot it with his finger. When Spike, at the end of the series, shoots at the syndicate goons with his finger, he is apparently recalling this conversation, implying that he now understands what it means to find relief in one's death.

the paragraph outlining Ein's character makes some allusions to his enhanced intelligence and abilities, but misses the more telling parts e.g. his demonstrated hacking ability (when Ed put the cyberspace goggles on him and was in awe of how fast he navigated the 'net and broke codes), somewhat human and resigned reactions to situations, etc. Not a normal doggie :) ... but then has it been missed on purpose to avoid spoilers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.180.56 ( talk) 21:40, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The plot section is detailing background informations and not the plot of the show. It is as it would be about the setting of the show and not about the show. The gate incident may be important for the setting, but it is only mentioned in some episodes. The plot section should detail a condensed version of the story of the episodes. 81.182.237.214 ( talk) 07:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
In the year 2021 AD, the first "Astral Gate" is built in orbit around the Moon; a hyperspace gateway meant to expedite space colonization by making travel between planets a matter of days instead of months or years. This gate, due to an internal defect, is destroyed in an incident that comes to be known as the "Gate Accident"; the gate exploded, and a massive blast of energy erupted from the gate and cracked the surface of the Moon, destroying a large part of it. Lunar debris immediately began to fall upon the Earth, devastating the planet's surface and killing 4.7 billion people. Fifty years later the human race numbers only 1.6 billion, but has colonized the entire Solar System through the use of perfected Gates.
While the Earth is still inhabited, its few remaining denizens must shelter themselves from the continuing rock falls in underground cities. With reconstruction rendered impossible by the rock falls, the human race instead terraformed other bodies of the Solar System including a variety of space habitats and industrialized asteroids. This solar community maintains a high level of racial and cultural diversity, and continues to use a large number of different languages, artwork and governments. However, its economy is predominantly Asian, using a nondivisible currency called the Woolong.
The population crash has led to a relative stagnation in technological development, though the Gates make space travel relatively easy. Directed energy weapons exist, but are large and dependent on heavy power sources. Gunpowder-based projectile weapons are the mainstay of combat, and many gun models from the beginning of the 20th century continue to be widely used.
As the Gates make it possible to cross the System in a matter of weeks, it became unfeasible for law enforcement to pursue criminals away from a given world. Criminal activity increased at every level of society; small-time criminals could act with relative impunity, and ruthless crime syndicates became as powerful as multinational corporations. In response, the bounty system of the Old West was reinstated throughout the System. Bounty hunters are encouraged to capture criminals and return them (alive and relatively unharmed) to the authorities for monetary rewards, in part through a regular television broadcast of "Big Shot", a bounty-hunter news program featuring Punch and Judy. This TV show is broadcast with a western motif and in the slang of the era, the term "Cowboys" refers to bounty hunters.

The Bebop is made up of a bridge, general living quarters, storage for food and supplies, and a small hangar to allow docking of smaller one-man space vessels.

I've removed File:Cowboy-bebop-754433.jpg from the article as it is a complete failure at actually identifying the characters. The characters are far to small and the faces are unrecognizable. Even on the full size image, these is insufficient detail with the characters' design. I also don't see that it being an "outdoor scene" gives it any additional significance as outdoor scenes are not unusual for this type of science fiction, nor mentioned in the critical commentary. — Farix ( t | c) 17:24, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I like your adding of the names to the infobox pic, well done.
You are wrong about it being useless for comparison, however, because the other photo, where you can see their faces could still be compared by to to put a name to each face, as their bodies are very distinctive. Obviously it is preferable to put that part of the caption directly underneath the best picture for it, so I will leave that caption where it is.
However, the outdoor image is valuable for another reason, that is clearly stated in the caption. The infobox image is almost entirely unlike anything in the series; it is dark to the point of being gloomy, and
Goth subculture is just not what CB is about. Hence other half of the caption, which together with the picture makes it clear that outdoor scenes are a common part of the series. This also cannot be stated merely with words.

The bird "Monkeyinalamborghini" mentioned actually came from the ancient Chinese book Shan Hai Jing (simplified Chinese: 山海经; traditional Chinese: 山海經; pinyin: Shānhǎi Jīng; Wade–Giles: Shan Hai Ching; literally "Classic of the Mountains and Seas" or "Collection of the Mountains and Seas" or "Canon of Mountains and Seas""). That's rignt it is a bird with 1 eye and 1 wing, whose name is jiān jiān(鹣鹣)or mán mán(蛮蛮). In oder to fly, the male and female need to combine together, so later the phrase "fly wing to wing(simplified Chinese: 比翼双飞; traditional Chinese:比翼雙飛)" are usually used to discribe couple. In conclusion, the analysis that the 1 eyed & 1 winged water bird metaphorize spike & jet is not correct, because the Original intention is two single wings live dependent upon each other, but not a wing and a eye.

I have removed the word "anachronisms" in the section "Settings" because it is used incorrectly. The paragraph in question writes: "The world of Cowboy Bebop is filled with anachronisms. The technology is a mixture of the futuristic (cybernetics, jump gates, energy weapons) and the modern (wheeled cars, handguns, zippo-styled lighters), both of which are blended together. Even "new" technology often looks a bit older and battered." However, if one clicks on the link embedded in the word "anachronisms" to jump to the Wiki page on that term, one finds that the term is defined as "a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of person(s), events, objects, or customs from different periods of time." Saying Cowboy Bebop is full of anachronisms because it envisions a future where people still use devices and vehicles of the late-1990s along with more scifi, futuristic devices and vehicles is like saying our use of ink pens and paper is anachronistic because we have word processing software on our computers. I have changed the paragraph in question to: "The technology in the world of Cowboy Bebop is a mixture of the futuristic (cybernetics, jump gates, energy weapons) and the modern (wheeled cars, handguns, zippo-styled lighters), both of which are blended together. Yet, even "new" technology often looks a bit older and battered." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panicsetsin ( talk • contribs) 07:06, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

In the article, the bird that accompanies Vicious, perched on his shoulder, is referred to as a "crow-like bird". I don't think this is accurate. It reminds me of a cormorant or some other fish-eating bird. I have wondered whether it is, what significance it has in Japanese mythology or folklore, and whether any mythological significance is therefore implied for Vicious' character.
In any case, it's definitely not a crow or crow-like.
