Product Review: Cowboy Bebop Complete Collection.

So here we go, Won football game 43-0 and then went out for Mexican, now time to ensure that I don't have any unfortunate gnome related accidents.

So I am reviewing the Cowboy Bebop Complete Collection by Bandai, it is DVD, we don't have a blue ray player. First there is the obvious positive about this product, and that is that it is Cowboy Bebop, which is generally awesome in general. Keeping this in mind as usual I am reviewing the product given, aka, is there good reason to go out and buy this box set when you could just watch it on netflix.

Alright where to start, how about the short answer to the question just proposed. Yes it is worth your money, and here is why, first the box. Oh the box. This is not a flimsy one piece cardboard with two tiny little sleeves with the discs in it. No it is quite the opposite in fact, it is study enough that you don't need to worry about it breaking with it just  laying on top of your TV, it's actually pretty similar to some VHS boxes if anyone remembers those still.

 As you can see it has some serious volume to it making it generally feel more awesome, also I like the choice of cover art, overall this box is just about as good as it gets. But what of the contents of the box?
Well that is also just as worthy of the box to be held up with this amazing anime, there are 6 discs containing every episode of the series plus episode zero. There are also some interviews and also commentary with the staff who worked on the show, which as usual is something that is interesting although not really engrossing enough to deserve not just watching the anime, but if commentary is your kind of thing then it is there and it is good.
All of this is good and well, however the final and often most important question with U.S. releases is: How is the dub? This has hands down, the best dub i have ever heard, I have not watched it in japenese since getting the DVD set. Simply put it is awesome.
So to put it simply, this DVD set is totally worthy of being the caretaker of the anime, everything about it is awesome. So if you have $20 or so lying around then get up and get this thing. It is amazing.

Take that Karma gnome. -_-
