Cowboy Bebop: Why You Should Give It A Chance
I decided to write this article for two reasons: one, I have a few friends who told me they couldn’t get into Cowboy Bebop, so I thought I could give some pointers for people who have trouble getting into it, so that they can see what they are missing out on. And two, one of the guys at work has been watching it recently, and it just really made me want to talk about one of my favorite anime shows.
For those of you who are anime fans, there is no way you haven’t heard of Cowboy Bebop. And for those of you who aren’t anime fans, Bebop is probably one of the only animes you have heard of. The reason the show is so widely known is because it is instantly accessible. The show isn’t like Samurai Champloo in the sense that it isn’t geared towards guys (let’s be honest, anything with that much action must be, right?) It’s not super plot heavy (though, I do think the overarching plot is pretty damn impressive, it only encompasses 5 of the 26 episodes.) This show is completely about the characters, and there is at least one for every type of person.
Anime Boston 2013 Cosplay
Okay so I forgot to mention in my little blurb that I enjoy watching anime as well. This past weekend I went to Anime Boston which is, as you probably can guess, an anime convention! I have been to this convention for the past 3 or 4 years now and every year I find something even more fun and new in the world of anime. What I love about Anime Boston is that there is something for everyone. Even if you do not know a lot about anime, there are panels about the history of certain things in the anime culture, panels about video games, about cosplaying, about stage fighting, and just about anything else you can think of. If none of that is your scene you can always just walk around the artist’s alley and dealer’s room and see all of the cool merchandise and artsy things that people make by hand. Still if you aren’t that into artwork, then the costumes that people dress up in (and put the effort into making) are ALWAYS awesome to witness. This year I actually remembered to take some pictures of some of my favorite cosplayers, and thought it would be really fun and cool to share the pictures with other people too!
