COWBOY BEBOP THE MOVIE: KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN's DOOR and EPISODE 17:MUSHROOM SAMBA REVIEW

  Hey guys! It's Liz here with 2 reviews up my sleeve (not lierally)-Cowboy Bebop: the Movie, and Cowboy episode 17: Mushroom Samba! First off, I'm gonna start with Cowboy Bebop the Movie: Knockin' on Heaven's Door.  This is personally one of the best movies I have ever seen! (coming from a Cowboy Bebop fan herself)  I feel that this movie is underappreciated and doesn't get enough credit-
 To the left is the bad guy of the movie, Vincent.  He lives in dreams and is searching for a way out of this world.  So, here's the question: ARE YOU LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD?
  There are a few new characters in this movie as well! ^ ^ -up above is Electra, and boy, does she kick butt!

The movie first starts off with Spike and the gang chasing bounty heads as usual, being low on money and eating nothin' but cup noodles.  Then, Big Shot Bounty Hunters comes on and reports a bounty with 3 million woolongs on the guys head (man, that will fill your wallet!).  Of course, Spike and the gang search for the guy.  Faye Valentine starts searching for the bounty head in her space cruiser and witnesses the scene of a truck explosion! As a result of the explosion, people within the area start hallucinating from the drug that was released in the explosion.  Spike and the gang go after Vincent to stop the virus that is spreading and ook for a cure.

This movie has AWESOME battle sequences and has a great plot and theme! The animation is awesome and is a must-see! The moive teaches a great lesson about reality. I give this moive an OVER 9000/10! :D
  Now, I shall review episode 17 of Cowboy Bebop: Mushroom Samba.  This episode is truly one of the funniest episodes ever!!! (one of my personal favorites)
Well, first off, the gang is starving because they are outta money and have barely any food. So, Ed and Ein search the area for food.
 While searching, Ed stumbles across a suitcase of mushrooms that a man left behind.  Curious, Ed feeds the mushroom to Ein, and Ein starts hopping up and down in an odd manner.
 Meanwhile, Ed heads back to the Bebop(the gang's ship) and leaves out a mushroom to see if the Spike, Jet, and Faye(the gang) will try the mushrooms.  Spike tries a mushroom and starts hallucinating that he is walking the 'stairway to heaven', Jet puts lipstick on, and Faye ends up wrapped up in toilet paper!! XD
THIS EPISODE IS HILARIOUS!!!!!! I recommend it to anyone, especially a Cowboy Bebop fan.
Well, you know what they say, EASY COME, EASY GO

COWBOY BEBOP: BOUNTY HUNTERS AND SPACE COWBOYS!!

 Cowboy Bebop is one of those classic underappreciated anime.  The main character, Spike Spiegel, is a bounty hunter (space cowboy) that chases after intergalactic bad guys for mad money.  His partner, Jet Black, a former cop who lost his arm in an accident, chases bounty heads by his side. Along the way, Spike and Jet encounter a stray dog, Ein, that becomes their companion, Radical Edward, a computer hacker (who is a girl, i  may add!), and Faye Valentine, an amnesiac bounty hunter who only has money on the mind. 
 The characters from left to right are jet, spike, faye, edward, and ein. I personally think this series has great characters that you get to know so well, it delves deep into each individual's past, and it feels like you know 'em and can relate to them. 
 I would have to say that Spike is my favorite character, because he's just awesome how he says : "BANG" and has great aim- I just love how he fights with his kung foo thing goin on!!!! He claims that he already died once...."to a woman..."; that woman's name was Julia, I believe-

There are 26 episodes total, and the cool thing about the show is that there is an individual music genre for each episode. For example, one episode is called: Heavy metal Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Waltz for Venus, Ballad of Angels, Mushroom Samba( episode 17- a hilarious episode!) and my personal favorite episode, Toys in the Attic.

Episode 11, Toys in the Attic, teaches a lesson to us all: DON'T LEAVE THINGS IN THE FRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(you'll see why in time :D)

This series overall has great animation quality, was animated by studio bones (the same animation studio that did fullmetal alchemist and soul eater- two AWESOME SERIES I MAY ADD)and a great soundtrack!! This is defiitely a classic, and if you didn;t see this show yet, you don't know what you're missin'! Well, you know what they say, easy come, easy go.
SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY *bang*
