Viewing Notes

Mars. Days before Halloween 2071. Villains blow up a tanker truck on Highway One, releasing a deadly virus that kills hundreds. Fearing a bigger, even more devastating biochemical attack, an astronomical reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction. On the space ship “Bebop,” Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein) are bored and short of cash. But with the news of the reward everything changes. Kind of like an extended episode of the television show, this does feel a bit over long, but the characters are still fantastic, the animation is awesome and holds up really well and like Bebop as a tv show, the music is absolutely on point and fits the film perfectly.
