Cowboy Bebop
It's basically a space western, where the gang of the spaceship "the Bebop" are bounty hunters. They chase down criminals of all types around the solar system, or anything, that will make them money in order to stay alive. The characters are diverse, each with his or her own back story. Each character gets good coverage in the series, but it is mostly based around ex-mobster leader Spike Spiegel and Jet Black who is a formal cop and owner of "the Bebop".
Actually, this series is hard to explain in words. It is the show that got me into anime. Everything about it is solid, from the designs, voice acting, music (which is excellent!), and story. Each episode is stand alone, meaning you could watch almost any of them and enjoy it. However, you won't get the full experience of the show if you don't watch it from the beginning. I believe it is also the anime that jump started the industry here in the United States, other than Dragonball Z.
I highly recommend this show! Check it out...

Feedback is always welcomed and appreciated, but please keep in mind this is my first attempt at this. I'll try to convey the review in an entertaining way. I am, by no means, an entertainer/comedian/actor/etc. I'll tell you my view on the subject, the decision to check it out is up to you.
