A must-buy for Cowboy Bebop fans, Dec 9 2011
This review is from: Cowboy Bebop Remix: Complete Collection (Anime Legends) (DVD)
If you're looking to purchase this, you probably know how great Cowboy Bebop is so I won't bother you about that. As you can see in the product description, the set consists of the entire series with 5.1 Digital sound and remastered visuals. Both english and japanese audio and subtitles are available. The dvd case is great, and contains 6 dvds. I have heard people saying that it's design can put stress on the dvds, but it's nothing to worry about in my opinion. The menus are great and their style is based on the opening of the series. Of course, you can expect to hear some great songs from the series while navigating them. What isn't mentioned is the special features of the set. Along with trailers of the series and other animes, special features include various commentaries, interviews and a special episode which is basically a recap of the episodes that didn't air in Japan, interviews of the staff that worked on the show and a music video with a remix of "TANK!". The commentaries last during entire episodes and feature both American and Japanese staff. Not only are those commentaries interesting, but they are also very fun. The Japanese commentators have natural conversations that often end up in laugh while American ones are more serious and insightful. To conclude, this box set is worth your purchase if you want to enjoy everything Cowboy Bebop has to offer.

A work of art with the sound it deserves, July 4 2008
This review is from: Cowboy Bebop Remix: Complete Collection (Anime Legends) (DVD)
First of all, the series itself is beautifully mastered in the animation, dub, and music. Composer Yoko Kanno is an absolute genius! Remix's 5.1 sound is absolutely wonderful, and this is a total bargain for a series of this quality. The english dub is absolutely superb. For once I recommend it over watching in the japanese, since the subtitles give the language a stilted feel, and the dub keeps that edgy tone going. The characters are outstanding, and Bebop gives the viewer enough credit to use their own brains to draw conclusions, instead of narrating everything out. Without a doubt this is one of the most poignant stories in anime. This is not a series for kids - it was made for adults, and the first episode is so adult that it was not even aired on television in Japan. So keep that in mind!

Awesome, Feb 8 2008
This review is from: Cowboy Bebop Remix: Complete Collection (Anime Legends) (DVD)
When I was in the US I bought each of the original DVDs (before the remix version came out) for 25.99 each. When I saw the entire collection available for this price, I jumped at it. If you enjoy this sort of anime, it's well worth the price. I was hooked after watching the first two episodes on Adult Swim, and I've loved the show ever since.
