Cowboy Bebop Vol. 3

» written by Piro^kun [Discuss]

Synopsis
In this disc Spike, the suave jazz loving bounty hunter, meets up with an old friend, Vicious, who, if you couldn’t tell by the name, turns out not to be so friendly. Various adventures insue. Also a new (and much hated by me) character is added to the series.

Review
The main session on this disc is the two-part adventure ‘Jupiter Jazz,’ which offers hints about the mostly unknown past of hero Spike Spiegel. Spike returns to his old haunts on Callisto in search of a mysterious woman, and comes into conflict with his former underworld associates: the icy Vicious, apprentice mobster Lin, and transgender barroom musician Gren. It all makes for good stuff.

However, the other two sessions on this disc (’Toys in the Attic’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’) are really disappointing.

‘Toys’ is a rather dismal attempt at a mystery, and it is the first clue that Ed should have never been added to the series.

In ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ the crew of the Bebop find themselves pitted against a programming genius who designed a high-tech transportation system-and hid a flaw in the software. But he also concealed clues in chess pieces, setting up a (semi-boring) battle of wits.

The Breakdown
I reccomend getting this DVD just for ‘Jupiter Jazz’
Contains nudity, violence, and adult situations

 

» The Pros
The nonlinear storytelling of Shinichiro Watanabe in 'Jupiter Jazz' is just awesome, and makes that session one of my favorites in the series.

» The Cons
The horrid and awful 'fellow' named Ed. I loathe her with a hate more powerful than the light of a thousand white hot suns.

» Animation
9
Very slick and clear.

» Sound
10
Yoko Kanno has done a great job with the soundtrack on this. Heck, even the dubs are good on this.

» Story

The story on this was a bit below the normal CB stuff.

The volume, while not the best in the series, is still pretty dang good.
