  • A look at the many inspirations of Cowboy Bebop and how they contribute to making the show feel so original.
    I've just set up a membership feature if you want to support. These videos take a stupid amount of hours to research, write, record and edit. Channel memberships are now the best way to help me make these faster.
    By the way! If you recently subscribed from the Pumping Iron video which unexpectedly blew up out of nowhere, THANK YOU. The outpouring of insane numbers and support has been overwhelming, I could not be more grateful. There are so many new videos in the works that I can't wait to share with all of you including a ranking of every movie from the big man himself :). Hope you're having a fantastic day. Thank you again.
    HUGE THANK YOU to my brother who made the thumbnail. He has a youtube channel where he makes really concise videos on becoming a better person, entrepreneurship, and being more productive. Check him out:

    Great video! Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorites animes of all time! The creativy process is not about remaking things you like, but remixing them in your own way. You should copy and take things you like from any source and mix them together, but as long as its unique and with your own experiences thrown together. In the end, everything is a remix.

    For the terrible reboot, if they would have got Valentine’s casting right, they could have made the show work for the idiot consumer. The TnA alone would find an audience. But the creators were so self-centred that they couldn’t even use tits to sell their product.
