This is my favorite animation because it has changed my understanding of TV animation. COWBOY BEBOP is an adult-oriented TV animation. The adult-oriented refers to the violent plot. Please don't misunderstand it. And when it first started, it unexpectedly started from the second episode. The legendary only broadcasted 13 episodes, plus the 13th episode of TV TOKYO, which was still a special edition, and it was not included in the DVD-BOX in the future. Production goal-different from other animations, the boss Bandai said, mainly selling models, and others are free. After a few projects before the transition, Watanabe gradually found his own production direction, the fusion of music and movies. The special features of this animation, first, the character configuration, similar to the "Adventurers" mentioned by the director in the setting book, three bounty hunters, a teenage hacker, and a cute Corgi. Every episode feels that funding is burning. Second, it is definitely an animation for movie fans. I have not seen so many movie influences in animation. First of all, Paris, Texas is a required course. In addition, it is best to know about Alien and Space Odyssey 2001, as well as heroes. True Colors, Trilogy of Murder, The Crow, Blade Runner, and other movies, can find their shadows in them. Director Du's field of vision is wide enough. Third, there are many supporting role stories. There are many cartoons in the road movie mode of the protagonist. The whole film tells the story of the protagonist SPIKE, but only 5 episodes. In contrast, the story of the supporting role greatly enriches the entire animation. In fact, it is difficult to say who is the supporting role. It is the protagonist, and the style of the story has changed greatly. Comedy, action, horror, and tragedy are all, and the music is also all-encompassing, from rock music, JAZZ, to Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Waltz, and the whole drama, SPACE LION. The style should be classified as NEW AGE, thanks to Kanno Yuko for bringing us the natural music. Fourth, highlighting a sense of antiquities, a strong nostalgic atmosphere seldom sees an animation that has strict requirements for details to such a degree. From the countless characters of various colors, the key is to feel that the characteristics of each character are very Bright! Even the characters appearing for only a few seconds are painted meticulously; the dilapidated scratches of the spacecraft, to the antique space shuttle Columbia, the beautiful sunset, and the requirements for details make it show its own in numerous animations. unique. five, The screenwriting mode is different from other animations. There are six screenwriters in this animation. Each of them has separate operations and collective creation. The IT article proposed by Sato Dai, because no one knows it well, I wrote it myself. Nobumoto Keiko is the main line. The screenwriter, the episodes in which BULL the Indian appeared, were all written by her. Director Watanabe adopted a screenwriting program similar to a 24-hour anti-terrorism program, but did not interfere with everyone's creative freedom, and gave birth to a wonderful feeling of fusion of various types. 6. The deep feeling of the dubbing actor's skill is the most powerful dubbing lineup in history. Yamaji Koichi, Ishizuka Yunsheng, Hayashihara Megumi, Tada Aoi, from the voices of several voice actors, reveal a sense of humor, of course love De's Tada Aoi also makes people's eyes shine. This is a character who has never appeared before, and she doesn't understand her nonsensical dialogue at all. Let go of the bold innovations of the hands and feet, and deeply leave the traces of the predecessors, which makes people feel in time and space, and feel that this is the past, and suddenly feel that this is the past, like a dream, and feel that it is like reality. Recently, this is the impression of BEBOP in my mind.
There are a lot of philosophical stalks, such as the future of capitalism (bombers), existentialism (all kinds of weird grandfathers, amusement park weirs, environmentalists), liberalism (inventor of portal), definition of life (man-made Satellite), media power (the paralyzed criminal). . . The main line is a romantic story.
The episode of Explosive Bear is based on the American University bomber Hildo Kasinski. If you are interested, you can read his Industrial Society https://z.arlmy.me/Wiki/library/Original_Kaczynski_IndustrialSocietyAndItsFuture. html
