If you're itching for more Cowboy Bebop but don't care about it being in space, Samurai Champloo will satisfy. Has the same amount of episodic shenanigans and stand-alone adventures with the loose premise of a main storyline that concludes in the end. It's artsy and will satiate the (non-moé) Japanophile in you, and the battle scenes are realistic, gritty, and stay true to how violent they really are. --Willsun 09:47, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I hated it. It's Cowboy Bebop, except there are two Spikes, and the Faye is completely worthless. They go off on a pointless quest. The first episode was kinda cool, but as it turns out, that was also the best episode. It'sll all a downhill ride from there.
BetterDead
Like Cowboy Bebop in feudal Japan and also worse. It's still a good watch though, though the episodes range in quality quite steeply. There are some real duds. The characters are less engaging and interesting than Cowboy Bebop as well.
