Zara and I just finished watching the first Cowboy Bebop DVD.

The following thoughts are passing through my mind in no particular order:
Damn, that's amazingly well-done animation and story.
There's so much blood.
I need to get the soundtrack.

The following thought is screaming at me over the top of all of them:
Spike does tai chi?

This is rather disturbing. But in one sequence you can clearly see him doing the opening move. Zara and I both looked at each other and went, "huh?"

So now, I am keeping a list of people I find in anime who do tai chi. This might seem slightly obsessive on either end. I assure you, however, that it's natural curiosity based on my rather larger obsessions with storytelling, religion/spirituality, and form-and-function, which really do overarch everything else.

So far:
Spike - Cowboy Bebop
Hanmyo - Outlaw Star

Yeah, the main problem I have with Bebop is the excessive, excessive violence. Wait till you get to Ed, though. Ed Kicks Serious Ass.

Bebop's got a great soundtrack, true. I picked it up fairly quickly after seeing some of it. The CDs are neat-looking, too - it's got a small label in the middle with black around it, so it looks like a phonograph record. (Records are what we old people used to use to hold music in.)

I enjoy Bebop, although it's been a while since I watched it. Last one I did watch was the first episode on disk three, which was really good.

And Ed is indeed fabulous.
