This is the face of deep introspection.

I actually love the art, and the whole comic for that matter. I think this really gets to the heart of what sets Spidey apart from other heroes. He makes people feel safe. He's your friendly neighborhood Spider Man.

For a lot of people it's the show that bucks the "I don't like anime" trend. It's a really well-written action/sci-fi that balances comedy and drama perfectly. If you like action/sci-fi I recommend giving an episode or two a shot, but if not then just keep doing you.

[–]socki03 47ポイント48ポイント  (26子コメント)

I completely agree, I'm not a fan of anime or manga, but Cowboy Bebop is one of those special things that was a really great watch.

[–]gwarsh41 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not at all, that is how a lot of people who don't like anime enjoy anime! If you find one you like, but dont generally like others, find the studio that made it and try other stuff they made. Good chances are you will find something else you like, and that is all that matters at the end of the day.

[–]jark_offSilverage Batman 6ポイント7ポイント  (5子コメント)

That's done by the same director! I love Samurai Champloo too! Same director is currently working on Space Dandy which is unlike SC and CB, but still really good. Much goofier though.

Ghost in the shell and cowboy bebop will always be my favorite animes. That and the outlaw star and Trigun.

[–]Mechakoopa 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Trigun for the most part avoids the horrible theme breaking asides that bother me the most about anime (like in FMA anytime someone implies Ed is short, the animation style changes for that one character and they start freaking out, accompanied by ridiculous sound effects). Cowboy Bebop doesn't have that at all, which is part of the reason I think it's so accessible, it doesn't seem childish.

I haven't. Thanks for the heads up, I'll add it to my "watch if I can find it" list.

[–]Lazin 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I watch a bit of anime, and what I usually dislike is the over done reactions and change in style because someone oh so accidentally saw something suggestive. Cowboy Bebop have non of that, which I think is why it's well liked by people who don't watch anime otherwise. It's just a different style, not completely cartoon-y... sorta like how you wouldn't dismiss an animated movie like avatar for being in the same "animated" category as say Cars.

[–]cyberineCyclops 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'll give it a shot sometime

[–]boodabombSpider-Man 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you're still hesitant, I'm going to continue to try and persuade you because I'm bored and love to gush about stuff. I'm also not a huge anime guy, but Cowboy Bebop is so fully realized as a concept that it hits on like a Blade Runner-esque amount of detail in the future that it creates while keeping the characters very human. Plus, and this might be my favorite thing about both Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, it's only like 27 episodes. It has a clearly defined beginning, middle and end so it doesn't drag on like every other TV show. The entire thing was written before its production so its narrative never strays. It feels like a large book in its scale.

I usually try not to be that "they don't make em like they used to anymore" guy; but I've tried getting into so many newer anime, and they really don't make them like they used to anymore. I could be looking in all the wrong places, but if anyone can suggest me anything remotely close to Cowboy Bebop in depth, quality and style, I'd be delighted to check it out.

[–]jark_offSilverage Batman 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Samurai Champloo was done by the same director, and generally speaking, those who liked Bebop like this show as well. The animation and storytelling are great, and has a heavy musical influence like Bebop. It's nothing like Bebop though in terms of content. It follows two swordsmen who agree to help a girl find the "samurai who smells like sunflowers." Structurally, it's similar with individual episodes that ultimately play out and build up a larger story.

[–]B00sauce 0ポイント1ポイント  (5子コメント)

I cannot for the life of me get into anime at all. The dialogue is just god awful, dubbed or subbed. I've had a billion people try to get me to watch X show to change my mind, and I've given them a shot so many times, but I can't stand it. Cowboy Bebop has been the only exception.

[–]spirafortunae 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd suggest watching at least the first episode. If you don't like it from there, you probably won't like the rest of the series - but don't let the fact that it's "anime" stop you. It is a brilliantly written series and really doesn't rely on any "anime tropes." I've met quite a few people who don't like anime, but agree after seeing Cowboy Bebop that it was a good show.

Edit: Oh and it's a serious/adult story, not a "cartoon" for kids.

[–]thissiteisbroken 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

Cowboy Bebop was probably the first anime I've ever watched, not counting Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh or Digimon when I was growing up, but its not your typical kid's/young adult show. It's an adult oriented show that doesn't resort to cheap toilet jokes or anything like that. It's actually really strange trying to give a proper idea of what its about. It's very much a philosophical journey or class struggle with many of the episodes. It's very well written and heartbreaking at certain points.

Its a huge departure from your typical anime as well. In fact, the show was pretty much a bomb in Japan because it was "too Western" for Japanese audiences. The only real anime tropes it has is the beautiful female character and maybe the spaceships.

It also has a phenomenal soundtrack that's a combination of orchestral and jazz with a lot of influences from James Bond soundtracks and scores.

It's very much akin to Firefly, a little bit of Star Trek, Farscape and if you're familiar with it, the new Syfy show The Expanse.

I'd say at least watch the first 3 episodes and if you're not sold then don't continue.

[–]hoseja 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

How do you feel about jazz?

[–]dilettanteTunesmithMoon Knight 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Maybe give it at least the three episode test just to be sure? In my opinion, it's one of those anime that can still appeal to people who aren't typically fans of anime or cartoons, mostly because it doesn't have the somewhat over-the-top, cartoony feel of a stereotypical shounen anime (e.g., DragonBall Z, Naruto, One Piece, etc.), and because it's just a great story.

Cowboy Bebop has very little of cliche anime trappings and is more western. That's why it was pretty much a bomb in Japan...Great series.

[–]redditmakesyoudumb 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

For what it's worth, it can't stand anime. Even if they aren't fucking up a cool setting with preteens with inexplicable cat ears and their melodrama, it tends to be just creepy, weird, and unrelatable.

. . . but I love Cowboy Bebop. It's like a mashup of Enter the Dragon and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, with a touch of Blade Runner. And an awesome soundtrack.

I've watched quite a bit of anime, but there are a lot of shows I refuse to watch because it's just insanely sexual or creepy. Though its understandable because its a very different culture compared to what I'm used to in the west.

Also, its worth keeping in mind that a lot of the stuff in anime is only there to sell merchandise. That's why mechs, spaceships and busty female characters are in every anime ever.

I would try it since it's probably the single most widely loved anime of all time, but if you really just don't like the genre you might just not like it, maybe watch the first episode and if you find it unbearable give up, but if you don't mind it watch a couple more to see if you like it in the end, I always figure that it's better to like as many things as possible since you'll be an overall happier person in the end

Spidey is listening/thinking about the theme song in the last four panels if it was not clear what they meant. Either way, have to agree, it's a great comic because they "get it" about Spiderman.

In the top 5 of best anime ever. Definitely a must watch.

Edit: I saw you say you're not into anime. One factor that might make you enjoy it a little is that it was basically made for a Western audience. You will certainly feel more at home for this than the average anime.

I like the idea of Spidey walking a nervous woman home. I'm a fan of small interactions between Superheroes and real people as it grounds what they do. Looking out for people isn't just about beating up bad guys, especially for someone like Peter. That said the Cowboy Bebop stuff seems like they just wanted to setup the last few panels (which felt super off by the way. I'm not sure if this is intended but it looks like Spidey's about to hurt those dudes. They're arseholes but Spidey's not the kind of guy who would hurt people just because they're being a dick. He'd try talking to them first.) and I'd have rather had more dialogue between the two.

It's a nice idea for a comic but I think the artist missed a really cool opportunity in favour of a pop culture reference.

Art's really good though. I'd read a Spider-Man book in this style.

I think it would be hilarious for him to just cat (err.. spider?) call them from above and just keep swinging with them as they try to walk away.

That's a beautiful mental image

[–]Classtoise 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

And given the context of who Spider-Man is he's gonna swing down and tell them "treat her like you want people to treat your mom or sister; no catcalls."

Just reading through this tumblr's Marvel tag is fun and I can see it all as canon. I'm surprised there aren't more full fanfics done as comics like this.

Man, I love the idea of Spidey liking anime. Or at least Cowboy Bebop.

[–]GreyInkling 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Of all the superheroes Spiderman is the one who deserves most to exist in real life. Forget the villains and drama. Just a guy with powers casually helping people out in new york however he can.

This was the first thing I came across on Reddit after literally just finishing watching episodes 13-18 of Cowboy Bebop on DVD and about to get ready for work haha

Ha ha just got the Bluray for the series a few days ago and watched the first two episodes.

I'm in the situation as Spidey, finding it hard getting people's interest to watch it with me.

Is the blu-ray quality hd, impressive improvements?

It's definitely looks smooth. Got it for around $20 and I'd say I got my money's worth.

Anyone care to explain?

I've never seen cowboy bebop, not sure if that matters.

Just seek out Cowboy Bebop and watch it.

He was basically nerding out (a Parker thing to do) which confused the girl who thought he as the big tough hero. At the end he decides to kick the guys asses while listening to the theme song.

Cowboy Bebop OST 1 - Tank! 8 - Required listening for page 4.
Who You Calling Short? 3 - Trigun for the most part avoids the horrible theme breaking asides that bother me the most about anime (like in FMA anytime someone implies Ed is short, the animation style changes for that one character and they start freaking out, accompanied by ri...
Tank! (Opening Theme)- Seatbelts; Yoko Kanno 1 - Spidey is listening/thinking about the theme song in the last four panels if it was not clear what they meant. Either way, have to agree, it's a great comic because they "get it" about Spiderman.
Cowboy Bebop The Movie - Opening Scene 1 - Please consider this: The opening scene from the movie. No spoilers, but a great example of the show's tone/humor/action. Let me know what you think!!!!
Outlaw Serenity 1 -

A Tumblr comic in which Spider-Man fanboys over one of the artists favourite TV shows, and then violently over-reacts to two cat-callers.

How perfectly awful.

[–]SmilehateThe Goon 33ポイント34ポイント  (26子コメント)

I don't think the comic is at all suggesting he's about to attack them. They're just standing there talking, and it seems more that he's tailing them to make sure they don't cause any more trouble. I'd imagine the artist would've chosen a more "action-y" pose had they wanted to suggest he was about to scrap.

Now, you or I may disagree with his taste in cartoons, but this comic really gets to the heart of who Spider-Man is, indeed who Steve Ditko imagined him to be: A kinda awkward kid who just cannot say no to doing the right thing, even if it's as tedious and inconvenient as walking a stranger home. This comic shows him as the quintessential and literal "street-level" hero, and is (in my opinion) great because of it. His media preferences be damned.

[–]Well_Armed_GorillaForever Carlyle 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think the comic is at all suggesting he's about to attack them.

That's fair enough, it's just the vibe I got from the comic. Spidey seems really keen to "do something about those guys" on the second page, and the emphasis on the "3 - 2 - 1 - let's jam" part of the song on the last page made it seem to me like it was building up to a confrontation of some sort.

Now, you or I may disagree with his taste in cartoons

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Cowboy Bebop, and (given Pete's nerdy leanings) I guess it makes sense for him to like it too; I just think that this comic felt a bit "fan-service-y".

[–]vadergeekMadman 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the bit of music implies he's about to punch them.

[–]Ashenspire -1ポイント0ポイント  (23子コメント)

they don't cause any more trouble

They didn't cause any trouble to begin with. This isn't Spider-Man doing the right thing, this is Tumblr imposing it's safe-space/microaggression nonsense into the comic book world.

[–]adamantium3Wolverine 11ポイント12ポイント  (2子コメント)

They made the protagonist feel like there was a possibility that she was going to be attacked or raped. If you're afraid someone is tailing you for whatever reason, be it hand ninjas out to kill you because you know about the ancient maguffin of power or you're running over horrific scenarios in your mind don't you think spidey should protect you?

[–]ScornfulLysanderDaredevil 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

They made the protagonist

I know this is iffy, but I'm pretty sure Spider-Man's the protagonist of the comic. The most focus is given on him, and we have more insight on his feelings than the lady's.

[–]deathsquaddesignFantomex 3ポイント4ポイント  (10子コメント)

So you're ok with two men following any of the women in your life around at night while throwing comments at them that suggest sexual attraction?

You're either blind to the world we live in or you're being deliberately obtuse...or you're 15, can't tell.

[–]Captain_Excellent 3ポイント4ポイント  (8子コメント)

Eh, two guys catcalling a lone woman on a city street at night could be pretty threatening. Idk I'm not a woman and have never been in that situation, but even if it was lighthearted they still made that woman feel unsafe.

I don't think the guys necessarily intended to harm her/scare her, but they should be more aware of the consequences of their actions. Men shouldn't act "predatory" around women at night and expect them to feel safe, because of the difference in physicality. There's an implication that things could go very badly for the woman if the man/men decided to act hostile.

[–]YawehgSpider-Man 3ポイント4ポイント  (35子コメント)

He looks menacing. I don't think he's going to fight, probably just going to put the fear of god in 'em.

[–]RetConBombJustice -1ポイント0ポイント  (34子コメント)

Put the fear of god in 'em for catcalling? Long enough ago that he could take a train elsewhere and swing back? That still seems like a crazy over-reaction.

[–]YawehgSpider-Man 12ポイント13ポイント  (28子コメント)

They were being threatening, now Spider-Man is going to be threatening. That seems proportional to me.

[–]RetConBombJustice 2ポイント3ポイント  (23子コメント)

He's going to be threatening like a half an hour later to two people who did nothing but say crappy things.

If he was present and said "Hey leave her alone" I could get behind it, but going back and giving them shit over it a while after the fact seems pretty ridiculous to me. They said "Hey bby ur hot", he's going to use his superpowers to either beat them up or terrify them. These two things are not equal.

[–]YawehgSpider-Man 4ポイント5ポイント  (9子コメント)

I don't understand the whole "Spidey's response has to be immediate" thing. I know that's important for training dogs, are they dogs?

[–]RetConBombJustice 3ポイント4ポイント  (8子コメント)

Because a half an hour later they might not even realize what this was about. They said a combined two sentences to a stranger, not exactly the sort of thing that most people are going to commit to memory, and unless Spider-Man gives them some kind of speech it's not like Spider-Man showing up would have any context to them.

[–]YawehgSpider-Man 4ポイント5ポイント  (7子コメント)

I don't understand why Spider-Man couldn't just, like... use words and make the situation clear.

[–]RetConBombJustice 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

But that's not what we're presented with. We're presented with a Spider-Man who's being menacing and apparently prepping to assault people. That last panel is not the look of a Spider-Man who's going to give two assholes a talking-to.

I think catcalling is stupid and people shouldn't do it. I don't think the proper response is to put the assholes in fear of their lives and well-being.

[–]YawehgSpider-Man 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

Worth pointing out that cat-calling put that woman in fear for her life and well being.

I didn't read the final panel as a prelude to physical violence, although I totally get that reading. I agree with you that I don't want Spider-Man sending them to the hospital or anything.
