Synopsis
The year is 2071 AD. That future is now. Driven out of their terrestrial eden, humanity chose the stars as the final frontier. With the section-by-section collapse of the former nations a mixed jumble of races and people came. They spread to the stars, taking with them the now confused concepts of freedom, violence, illegality and love, where new rules and new generation of outlaws came into being. People referred to them as Cowboy Bebops…
Review
The continuation of the series, episodes 6-10, which can be purchased for $29.99 on DVD (Ouch), is a great addition to any anime fans collection. The 2nd Session DVD follows the bebop crew on more crazy and insane chases and thrills and opens up more information about the bebop members. A musical prodigy, a space trucker, an energetic young crook, a hacker from Earth, and a mysterious woman from Jets past, this is not one to miss. 2nd Session, taking place directly after the confrontation between Spike and Vicious, with more mayhem and excitement as you follow the crew on further bounty hunting adventures. The story really starts to progress with each episode and slowly pull back the blinds on some mysteries that surround the characters, which draws the viewer in and engrosses them into the story. Volume 2 introduces of a new member to the Bebop crew, which unquestionably adds large amounts of craziness and comedy to the story, and adds some new flavor to the mix. I enjoyed these episodes as much as I did watching the first.

The soundtrack goes perfect with the theme of the series. And also the English voices are very good in my opinion; this is one of the few that I watched in English over the usual Japanese with English subs. |

The story is stupendous. It keeps you wondering and most important, keeps you focused; it's very rare to be bored during this series I thought. |
