We know these shows have similarities which can make this topic much tougher and it is said that the shows are in the same universe. Which is best? You decide.... Some topics to consider in your arguments: Which Crew and individuals do you find best? Gene Starwind vs Spike Spiegel Melfina vs Ein Jim Hawking vs Ed Twilight Suzuka vs Jet Black Aisha ClanClan vs Faye Valentine Ships Battle? The Bebop vs The Outlaw Star Which story lines and plots are more suited to your taste? Why is one anime more or less than the other?

I saw Outlaw Star a long time ago and I'd have to say it has a way better plot. I really don't get why everyone thinks Bebop is such a "breakthrough," "genre defining," series. As far as I can tell it has no real central plot. Don't get me wrong, I liked watching it and think its a good show, I just don't think it can come close to comparting with something like Dragon Ball or Gundam Wing. Help me out here. P.S. Spike is a bad *****

I remember when i watched outlaw star for the first time, and would only HEAR or see cowboy bebop when i would flip thru to the AZN (asian network) channel and check out the latest releases, (this was in the 90's so yes i was there) and on that channel cowboy bebop was unabridged and uncensored. Awesome is the word for it. what YOU are seeing is more than likely a recut edit on cartton network. I admit, the anime in general is what you see, but you dont get the whole story. I suggest finding the japanese version. If you dont like that? then its because it just doesnt pull you in. But viddy is right, they take place in the same universe, and say so.

Bebop is better in leaps and bounds. I love Outlaw Star (I'm even a member of an Outlaw Star forum) but it pales in comparison to the quality and style of Bebop. I think a lot of people dislike Cowboy Bebop because they dont fully understand it. Not saying this applies to everyone of course. But there is so many underlying messages and themes in the show that a lot of people dont notice or realize them. Its an epic masterpiece of art. If I really have to post all the things that only I have noticed in the show I will. This is all my opinion of course and no one should take it the wrong way because I love Outlaw Star too. They ARE NOT in the same universe by the way lmao. Angel Links is but Cowboy Bebop is not. Edited by Noir, Jan 17 2012, 07:03 AM.

I watched it when it was new. The shows paid constant homage to each other, probably out of respect between the artists. So it certainly gives the impression they are related. If youre listening to the dialogue that is. Edited by Paikuan extreme, Jan 17 2012, 04:51 PM.

Bebop had better plot, better music, and over all better ending by miles and miles.

Do I really have to explain to you how Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop arent in the same universe?....Alright Outlaw Star takes place in the "Towards Stars" Universe. Human beings leave earth in search of Dragonite as kind of a new age goldrush. The earth is still intact but the entire storyline takes place in different galaxies. Cowboy Bebop takes place mostly in out solar system. Human beings are forced to leave earth because it gets almost completely destroyed by meteors. There is absolutely no connection between the series. If there is, Id be glad to know so enlighten me. Just because they came out around the same time and take place in the future/space, that doesnt mean theyre in the same universe.

Remedial How do I know if the Bebop I'm watching is uncut. It says it is, but.... Are there any elements or scenes you know for sure would be edited out? Thanks, On Topic: I think Bebop would be way better than outlaw star if they developed the main story a little more. As it is, I feel in-invested in the series.

On a streaming site or something? (Dont say the name of it if you are, against the rules) Chances are youre watching the original uncut version anyways.

(Hate censorship)

Quote: Are you serious right now? Do I really have to explain to you how Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop arent in the same universe paying homage by making small mentions was apparently LOST on you. Is reading comprehension not one of your strong suits? WHO asked you to explain anything? are YOU serious right now? cause you are doing to much lip flapping and apparently not paying much attention to what you watch or hear. Paying homage has nothing to do with being a spin off or being in the same universe. The homages are OUT of universe and between the artists who are friends. learn about exactly WHAT it is you are talking about instead of quoting or reading some wikipedia. Could care less about angel links, THIS conversation is about what the OP wants to watch, so stop hijacking this thread or get reported for trolling, your preference is well established now, MOVE ON!! OP: If you are watching the english version? then you will of course recognize curse words and such, also nudity scenes arent drawn over. Like the part In outlaw star where they find the girl in the suitcase? in the original she is naked, not wearing a bikini. Just saying.

And the original OP is Rebel not Jmarshall derp...and he has already seen both Ive seen Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star at least 5 times through each..and all I hear is you talking about all these homages and not giving an example of one and how is this trolling? This thread is about which one is better is it not? I gave my opinion on the show. Maybe YOU should learn how to read and comprehend
