Jeremy is an omnivore when it comes to his movie-watching diet. He'll gladly watch and write about almost anything, from old Godzilla films to gangster flicks to samurai movies to classic musicals to the French New Wave to the MCU... well, maybe not the Disney+ shows.
Even if the legendary late-1990s anime series Cowboy Bebop didn't have the lofty reputation it does, viewers tuning in for the first time might still expect something amazing and/or unique. After all, there's some text in the show's iconic opening sequence that reads: "The work, which becomes a genre itself, will be called... Cowboy Bebop.
24 "Gateway Shuffle" Episode 4 “Gateway Shuffle” is the first episode that doesn’t serve as an introduction to a main character, given viewers meet Spike Spiegel and Jet Black in the first episode, the unusually smart corgi known as Ein joins the show in the second episode, and Faye Valentine first makes an appearance in the third.
22 "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" Episode 21 If you’re after the go-to pick for most people’s least favorite Cowboy Bebop episode, it’s probably going to be “Boogie Woogie Feng Shui.” As the title might imply, it’s among the more comedic episodes of the show , and that makes it stand out a little among some of the great – and perhaps more serious – episodes that make up the final third of the whole series, with episodes 23 to 26 being particularly iconic.
20 "Honky Tonk Woman" Episode 3 In comparison to Ed’s, Faye’s introductory episode, “Honky Tonk Women,” fares a little better, and maybe it also feels a little more natural to introduce a main character in episode 3, as opposed to episode 9.
18 "Bohemian Rhapsody" Episode 14 Not to be mixed up with a certain movie that came out almost 20 years after this episode aired, “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a strange and somewhat slow-paced episode of Cowboy Bebop that nevertheless leaves an impact. The target of the crew is an elusive figure who’s behind a series of outer-space robberies, with Ed eventually getting a lead on who might be behind it all through a game of virtual chess.
16 "My Funny Valentine" Episode 15 Faye’s backstory gets explored quite extensively in “My Funny Valentine,” being a key episode for the character as a result . Much of her debt, as it turned out, came from being in cryogenic sleep for more than half a century, with her financial situation worsening after meeting a man named Whitney who supposedly died shortly after, leaving her with his own debts.
14 "Black Dog Serenade" Episode 16 Hey, look, it’s another fairly moody Jet episode of Cowboy Bebop that largely revolves around him running into someone from his past. Unlike “Ganymede Elegy,” though, “Black Dog Serenade” sees Jet encountering his partner back from his days being a cop, but like that aforementioned episode, “Black Dog Serenade” does take place on one of Jupiter’s moons: Europa.
12 "Cowboy Funk" Episode 22 Though some of what’s already been said might make it sound like most comedic episodes of Cowboy Bebop are of lesser quality, that’s really not the case; some are just funnier and more memorable than others. There’s an argument to be made, for example, that “Cowboy Funk” is a genuinely great Cowboy Bebop session, and a good chunk of it feels like a parody/futuristic update of the spaghetti Western style popularized by the likes of Sergio Leone.
10 "Waltz for Venus" Episode 8 A one-off character named Rocco more or less gets to be the star of “Waltz for Venus,” as he meets Spike and asks him to hold onto a valuable package. It contains a rare plant that’s able to cure a certain type of sickness a family member of Rocco’s is suffering from, though the fact he stole it from a group of gangsters makes him a target, with Spike ultimately helping him with his predicament.
