Yes, but probably watch the final two episode after a small break, and don't miss the movie, it is peak.

I wouldn't say it is, the tone often changes from one episode to the next.

absolutely binge watchable, everything from the characters, story and jazz fueled soundtrack keeps you going, the fillers aren't too bad either. it's a classic for many reasons.

well I found the movie to be flawless with nothing really to complain about. I did give the series a 8/10 which is still a really good rating btw but again it does have some filler episodes I wasn't too impressed with. again nothing that stops it from being binge watchable, just a few nitpicks that lowered the score for me.

@giftedasf so it definitely is binge watchable then in your opinion?

I’d say no. Yes, the episode count makes it very doable, but I feel you’d forget the episodes with it being episodic. They’d probably blur together.

Cowboy Bebop has no filler episodes.
It's not a manga adaptation but an original creation, so whatever happens in the episodes can't be called "filler."

Here it was just episodic with just a few things linked together.

filler as in deviating from the main plot
you could even call it side stories, episodic or not cowboy Bebop is very easy to follow along with.

cowboy bebop is more or less completely episodic, meaning its watchable even out of order! (for the most part) so yes, it's certainly binge watchable.

I'd say it's bingeworthy the same way that old sitcoms were. It's an episodic show meaning most problems that are introduced in an episode are resolved by the end of it. There's a handful that aren't but get called back in later episodes to round out the show and give it a "finale" ending.

If you're wondering how to watch it, just watch until Ballad of the Fallen Angels, which is episode 5 or 6 I think. After that, decide for yourself at what pace you want to watch (or drop it, I won't judge you.)

Watching that whole chunk, I think, gives you the vibe for the rest of the show.

Absolutely not. It's a very slow anime where it becomes extrenely boring if you watch more than 3 episodes in one go. The middle part of the anime also felt like a giant filler.

Nope, each episode is completely different plot and diff feels. Would you binge watch Seinfeld or Friends, prolly not. But you can no problem.

While I loved the anime, I would say “no”. Yes, it is one of the most original animes out there, as well as one with a unique art style. It inspired generations of mangaka, and etc. It is one of a kind.

However, it took me some time for me to finish. I would say that halfway it becomes a little monotonous. There are like 4 episodes that are not that entertaining, nor do they have a good pacing. When I reached halfway I slowed down and watched 1 per day or 1/2-3 days.

No. Doing this only makes you forget things faster, this anime is meant to be taken at your own pace until you finish it. Besides the fact that the anime is slow, in the sense that it takes a while for things to happen, it's not that it's bad at all.

Imo it’s not a show to binge. It is possible but this is a show you want the episodes to sink in and give some thought to them. It’s a very deep show

Depends on the mood, tbh. There are tonal shifts in between the episodes, so if that's your thing, go for it. I watched the episodes slowly, savouring each episode, as this masterpiece deserves.
