Fifty years after a catastrophe renders the Earth uninhabitable and in the face of rising crime, a legalized bounty hunting crew travels through space in pursuit of bandits. Come and discover a must-see masterpiece of Japanese animation.

Instigating a new wave of international interest in anime, Cowboy Bebop was for many the gateway drug to this singular art form. At the heart of its aesthetic, mixing the codes of science fiction, western, gangster movies, neo-noir and many others, lies a mature exploration of existential themes such as loneliness and boredom. The perfect way to prepare for the release of its Netflix-produced live-action remake.
