Cowboy Bebop is a Japanese anime series created by Sunrise and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. It follows the adventures of four misfortuned bounty hunters travelling on their spaceship, the Bebop, in the year 2071.
Cowboy Bebop was a commercial success both in Japan and worldwide, especially the United States. It was later expanded into a motion picture, two manga series, and video games. Sony Pictures released the Cowboy Bebop movie, Knockin' on Heaven's Door to theaters worldwide, and followed up with an international DVD release. Two Cowboy Bebop manga series were created based on the anime; as well as two video games, one for each the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles.
Cowboy Bebop is strongly influenced by American culture, especially the jazz movements of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s and the early rock era of the 1950s, 1960's and 1970's. Nearly all of its action sequences, from space battles to hand-to-hand martial arts combat, are set and timed to music. Music is a driving force within the series. Episodes are called Sessions (in reference to musicians playing a "jam session"), and titles are either borrowed from an album's or a song's name (Sympathy for the Devil), or make use of a genre name (Mushroom Samba), that will influence the whole episode's action and musical theme.
