Great things about Cowboy Bebop, part 1.

I've been so busy working on the moving blog, that I haven't had much to say here. But this article about opening sequences that fit their shows perfectly inspired me to share. Somewhere in between all the shows I had never watched (and a few I had) was the lone Japanese Anime of the list. Surrounded by shows like The Sopranos, Freaks and Geeks, The 4400, and Charlie's Angels was Cowboy Bebop. I found myself nodding. Yeah, that was an awesome show opener, wasn't it? That's something that I really loved about Cowboy Bebop. This anime about bounty hunters pulls you in with a rockin' jazz piece, and a mix of flashy bright colors and character silhouettes. It was the same for the Cowboy Bebop movie, which wasn't nearly as good as the series, but still pulls you in with a catchy opening sequence. In fact, I think the opening sequence of the movie may be one of my favorite parts.

This is the show's opener:
