Originally aired in 1998, Cowboy Bebop follows a ragtag crew of bounty hunters traveling on a spaceship called the Bebop. It’s the year 2071 and the Inter Solar System Police (ISSP) have a legalized contract system in which bounty hunters can turn in criminals for rewards. This strange group of hunters aim to turn in as many criminals as they can and reap the rewards. However, they tend to get into a lot of mishaps that leave them without money. Additionally, the crew members often have to confront their dark pasts in unexpected ways. It’s a wild adventure that spans 26 episodes. Funimation released the Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series collection in 2014.
Fondly considered to be one of the best anime by many, it’s well worth your time to check it out. With deals like these, it would be a shame not to add this classic to your collection.
