Cowboy Bebop Movie comes to the States

birdman666 writes "According to the movie site the movie of the popular anime Cowboy Bebop has finally been set to release in the states in a handful of cities including LA, NY, SF, Seattle and others on April 4. It features all the same voice actors as the Cartoon Network series and is big news for all those Bebop fans out there. As a note the Japanese title of the film was 'Cowboy Bebop: Knockin On Heaven's Door', but has been changed simply to 'Cowboy Bebop: The Movie' for the states." We had a note about the American premiere last summer, but now it's finally open for general admission.

I went to the premire in New York last summer, and I was looking forward to having a good time with all the other cool American Anime fans.

Who invited all the geeks?

Someone should change your post rating to (Score:-1 Uneducated).

Cowboy Bebob?

[Anonymous Coward]

Is that supposed to be some kind of stereotypical American name?
Hell, we should make a cartoon that makes fun of tradional Japanese heroes! Call it something like Samurai... Samurai Jack!

Oh wait! Crap!

"We had a note about the American premiere last summer, but now it's finally open for general admission"

Using the Taco->English translation on babelfish, it comes out as:

"HAHA BASTARDS, CANT TELL ME ITS A REPOST NOW"

The Movie

[absurdhero]

I think they changed it to "Cowboy Bebop: The Movie" to make sure that us American's can be sure that it is, in fact, a movie. Who knows, it could be terrorist propaganda or some mix between country music and old school bebop. How should we know?

Re:The Movie

[Rhinobird]

In that case, I wish they would have renamed the movie "Fern Gully" to "Fern Gully: Environmentalist clap trap", but that's just me.

Re:An honest question

[gl4ss]

in other words what makes good series or a movie makes good anime.

i've come to conclusion that because there is just so freaking much anime there's also good anime, just like hollywood does make some good movies..

beginning titles on cowboy bepop-knocking on heavens door are extremely stylistic and good looking in my opinion too(coupled with excellent music)..

My state sucks

[saboola]

We dont know how to vote, subsequently we dont get cowboy bebop movies. Maybe if Spike was edited out and re-filmed live as Vin Diesel or something, then this state might just find the movie shallow enough to enjoy. I hate Florida.

You are exactly the sort of person I was ranting about. People who can't just be happy living in their relatively insignifigant (on a global scale) city which has a few interesting things to be proud of, but that's all.

Atlanta is the biggest city in a small, jerkwater state, yes. That does not make it a Major City. I don't care if they hosted the Olympics. So did Lake Placid.
