"...set in the year 2071, 'Cowboy Bebop' follows the lives of a bounty hunter crew traveling in their spaceship called the 'Bebop'.
"Although it covers a wide range of genres throughout its run, 'Cowboy Bebop' draws most heavily from western and noir films...
"...with recurring thematic focal points including existential ennui, loneliness and the difficulties of trying to escape one's past..."
