| I've noticed something absolutely bizarre: no-one can mention Cowboy Bebip without hyping it. They either sing the praises of this anime, call it a classic or claim that it has a huge following. Every. Single. Bloody. Time. Furthermore, no-one will ever criticise this anime or any aspect of this anime. In fact, I once stumbled across an article listing both overrated and underrated anime, and my jaw practically fell to the floor when the article called Cowboy Bebop 'underrated'. What the hell? Isn't that like calling the Star Wars franchise underrated? I highly suspect that Cowboy Bebip's so-called 'fandom' is actually a cult. The cult of Bebop. A cult where all members must worship this anime and anyone who dares criticise even one tiny aspect of this anime gets flayed alive. So why the hell does all this happen? Does Cowboy Bebop really deserve to be worshipped like this to such an extreme degree? Is it really the greatest artistic achievement in the time-space continuum? Can it prevent wars, cure cancer and bring back the dead? No, it can't do those three things, so why are it's 'fans' acting like this? |

If those are the requirements for a "10" anime, then I'm pretty sure none deserves to be called masterpiece. People say it's good because they actually enjoy it, I'm one of those that had a nice time watching through it. Does it have haters? Yes lol, you can pretty much see that it has less than 5 scorings. And I'm fairly sure that there are also negative reviews. Why do Madoka Magica fans says it's "good"? Is it a cult? Does no one have the right to say it's bad? Same questions, different show. Just enjoy the stuff that you like and (personal experience) ignore fandoms. Edit: btw, not to be rude, but you should watch or at least try something before stating an opinion on it. Blinding saying that "it doesn't deserve praise" it's not very clever. |

| It's an all time classic, legendary Anime. You call it hype, most of the Community calls it awesome. You didn't even explain why the Show isn't as great as people say, in your opinion. You're just ranting about what someone said, somewhere.... So what? Nobody cares. Your only critique of the Show is basically: "I hate people loving this so much!" Grow up, please. Let the people like what the like and keep out of it^^ |

| Well, it's a great anime, with a stellar dub, and it aired on "Adult Swim" way back in 2001, so it's obvious to see why it reached cult status. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| Because it's good. Saori_Shun said: Furthermore, no-one will ever criticise this anime or any aspect of this anime. That's not true from what I've noticed although 90% of the criticism seems to center around the series' structure and nothing else. |
