Hey Bebopgirl- By any chance is your handle based on the anime series Cowboy Bebop? I only ask because it shares some storyline/tone similarities to Firefly.

It is from Cowboy Bebop. It's my fave anime series. Spike's the man!

Oh! I figured as much. It's my fav anime series too and I'm not much of an Anime fan... gimme a little Lupin III or Neon Genesis and that's about it usually short of some of the features that cross the pond.

As much as I love Firefly it totally reminded me of two of my fav shows- one is Blake's 7 and the other is Cowboy Bebop. I'd assume you agree?

Spike is the man.... I love how bebop also kinda crosses genres by not only delivering Scifi but also somewhat of a neo-noir detective aspect. And the theme song rocks (and sticks in your head like FF's does).

I never was a big anime fan either. I find myself more and more into though. Cowboy Bebop was the first anime I ever got into. I now find myself liking Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Rain, and InuYasha. I like Lupin too!

I agree, Bebop does cross genres. The theme must certainly does rock!

Yep I'm much the same way. I have a couple of friends who lve anime and introduced me to others like Trigun, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Photon, Escaflowne etc.... and of course classics like Speed Racer but nothing beats Bebop in my mind. Very stylish and the tne is more adult. A lot of Anime sometimes gets a bit weird or goofy for my tastes.

Do you have the Cowboy Bebop sountrack cds? they're awesome!

There is some anime that is just too weird for my taste. I don't have the soundtracks. I've been wanting to get them though.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that Doctor Who was being filmed in my home town again last night.

Select to view spoiler:


They were filming at an old railway station, which was done up to look like it was WWII era. Billy was doing a scene where she had to run along the train tracks, and I saw a man who looked like Christopher Eccleston, wearing a WWII greatcoat.

I was watching from a distance because it wasnt possible to get close, so I couldn't tell for sure if this was Eccleston, but i'm almost certain. The guy has presence. Everything about the production oozed quality.

Sweet. Despite some rather icky rumors I keep hearing about and some personal reservations, I do honestly hope this will be good.

Can't wait to see it- if only the Beeb could kick a distrubter over here in the U.S. to finally pony up and commit to airing the thing!
