“I think it's time we blow this scene. Get everybody and the stuff together. OK, three, two, one, Let's jam!”

If you know those words, you’re probably a Cowboy Bebop fan. The original anime, which came out in 1998 and ran for 26 episodes (called ‘sessions’) has a huge cult following, and is widely recognised as one of the best and most influential anime series of all time.
