Development: 10</B></div> <div> I don't really think that this needs an explaination.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Sexuality: 4</B></div> <div> Hey, a few shower scenes, some skimpy dresses... basically just an average amount.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Romance: 6</B></div> <div> Romance is one of the key themes, but it doesn't shove itself in your face allthroughout the series.  Just how I like it.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Drama: 6</B></div> <div> Drama is also one of the key themes, and it pops up in spots in the first few episodes, then comes in full force near the end (duh!)</div> <bR> <div> <B>Action: 5</B></div> <div> Plenty of that, but action coincides with violence, so it's not a 6.  That, plus I don't want the sign of the beast on my site.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Comedy: 7</B></div> <div> Plenty enough to keep you feeling better after dramatic scenes throughout the series.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Dub</B></div> <div> <B>Dub Voices: 10</B></div> <div> Never before have I heard dub voices this good.... well, never before have I heard dub voices this good in an anime with the words "Cowboy" and "Bebop" in the title.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Dub Music: N/A</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Dub Lines: 10</B></div> <div> Nice!</div> <bR> <div> <B>Censorship: Unknown</B></div> <div> Unlike what I have put down on other reviews, I'm actually working on it!</div> <bR> <bR> <div> What can be said about Cowboy Bebop that hasn't been said before?  Not knowing the answer to that question, I decide to pull stuff off the top of my mind and say the following: it's funny, it's dramatic, it's action-packed, it never fails to please, and so far I haven't fallen asleep while watching it.  I like the characters, I like the music, and... whatever else there is I like it.  My only gripe is that I'm forced to watch it at around midnight on the Cartoon Network.  But, it's an O-K sacrifice for a class-A anime.</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>That's my Story and I'm Sticking to it!</B></I></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
