A fucking cartoon has no business being this good. Especially the original soundtrack, which is borderline untouchable.
What do you think of Cowboy Bebop? Does it hold up?

One: It's an anime.
Two: It's good because people actually cared enough to make it as such.
Three: You're fucking retarded.

>anime isn't just japanese cartoons
>>70450490
Decent show, fantastic OST, but super overrated.
Absolute fedoracore trash ripping off actual films
>>70450490
It's fantastic. Best anime I've ever seen.

Even /tv/ favorite Keanu Reeves wanted to make a Bebop movie. Shut up, nerd
it gets a pass because its anime
if you live actioned that shit, it'd be trashy and dull

It's Japanese animation, you fucking illiterate. Damn, you people claim to be the television & film board, but you can't even tell the fucking difference between a cartoon and animation. Pathetic.
it might hold up if i could stand the animation

Way to miss the entire point.
>>70450490
Not as good as Samurai Champloo

This. It's mind blowing when you're 13 and watching it on Toonami, but compared to the best TV series of all time it's just okay.

>the best TV series of all time
and what's that?
Let me explain to you about anime
There are several tiers of anime fan. WOAH TOTALLY DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH DIFF OPINIONS MIND BLOWN
You have the casual /v/ anime watcher, who only watch what I term 'the newfag pool' and think they are the greatest anime ever, then call everything else shit. This group generally watches less than 15 series.
You have the casual anime forum watcher who watches a large range of absolute garbage, including the newfag pool and thinks it's all the greatest shit ever. This group generally watches less than 50 series
Finally, you have the actual anime fan. They watch a wide range of series and genres and generally enjoy the medium while understanding its flaws. They are generally unimpressed after the 100 series point regarding the newfag pool, as they have found better.
For reference, the newfag pool is generally as follows (series do get switched out as the old favorites get forgotten): NGE, Berserk, JoJo, SAO, Attack on Titan, any Kon movie, any GitS series or movie, any edgy 80s/90s gore OVA, Gundam SEED, Kenshin, FMA, Geass, Angel's Egg, Stein's Gate, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Planetes, TTGL, Kill la Kill, Death Note, Ping Pong
Basically anything /v/ likes, because /v/ has AWFUL taste in anime. A W F U L
