CELEBRITIES WHO WATCH ANIME SERIES

And years later, the voice cast can't believe how big it still is. The show's iconic premise about bounty hunters AKA cowboys running around in space became an instant hit. And that's amazing for a show that's over 20 years old to still be that.' 'I hear that over and over again, at conventions all over the world. 'People are still saying that this is their entry point into anime, after all these years, as they share it with family members and friends who just refuse to watch anime,' noted Steve Blum, who plays Spike. As the first anime aired in that late-night block, it introduced the genre to a new audience. Little did the voice cast know that the show would be kick off something huge: the addition of anime in Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup.

I still run into some purists out there, but I haven't heard any criticism of our dub,' said Beau Billingslea, who voices Jet Black. 'It helped us convert some of the fans of subs to the dubs.

To this day, Cowboy Bebop is considered one of the greatest dubbed anime series ever. If we could get that word out to production companies that we love so much, maybe that would make a big difference on many more series to come,' added Faye Valentine's voice actress Wendee Lee. So they push us very, very hard creatively to deliver those lines as fast as you freakin' can. 'Anime productions don't have very big budgets. Thank God we had that extra time, because look, it stood the test of time.' 'We got to create a little more and there was a special nuance to it since we were given that little breath to really play with our characters and bring more life into them. You have to be in and out in two hours, and you have 60 loops to do,' said Melissa Fahn, who plays Edward. Usually, when we go in and record and dub on a dubbing project, it's very quick. You go into the studio, you do your gig, and you say 'So long and I hope people watch it.' But with this show, we had the luxury of time. The original English voice cast then got together and started to record their lines, bringing the iconic series to life in a totally new way. Like many things in the United States, it took us a minute to take notice and it wasn't until 2000 that Cowboy Bebop was finally licensed by Bandai Entertainment for an English language adaptation. The original Japanese adaptation of Cowboy Bebop first came out in 1998 shortly after it was first released as a manga in 1997. If you don't believe me, then you can ask the original voice cast of Cowboy Bebop, who talked with Cosmopolitan about why this show is one of the greatest of all time to this day, how its history has impacted generations, and why right now is the perfect time to watch Cowboy Bebop as it rings in a new era. Not only did its themes and characters break boundaries when it comes to how anime is used as a form of storytelling, but the original Cowboy Bebop also contributed to the skyrocketing popularity of the genre in the United States. The original anime series was an absolute game-changer when it was first released, and it has only become more influential over time. There's a reason why Netflix's live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop is a very big deal.
