Synopsis
Anime Expo Cinema Nights presents COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE. Caught up in a world of dreams, lost in the cruelty of reality. What should have been an easy bounty turns into biological war after a terrorist gets hold of a deadly virus. Drawn in by the pretty price on the mastermind's head, Spike and the Bebop crew are ready to collect a much-needed reward. Unfortunately, the gang's about to find themselves in more trouble than money when the terrorist threatens to unleash the virus on Halloween--effectively killing everyone on Mars. With little time and leads that seem more dreamy than helpful, they'll have to use their own bag of tricks to stop a dangerous plot.

Fat_AlbertaApr 30, 2016Among the most detailed and demonstrably lived-in pieces of futurism ever concocted, up there with BLADE RUNNER and ALIENS for both impeccable function and designer violence, not to mention a perfect extension of the origin series' unique, tantalizing melancholy. I don't…

I feel like there's at least a dozen other episodes that would've better suited the length of a feature film than this story, but it's hard to complain about getting extra time with these amazing characters. Still haven't seen the final 4 episodes yet, so no spoilers in…

I've gone through this entire series and the movie twice in the span of less than a month, and I'm about to go through it a third time. It's one of the quintessential pieces of anime that opened a floodgate for me into an obsession for an entire medium. Endlessly…
Wesley R. BallJun 26, 2020"Sorry I'm just a bounty hunter, i don't really give a damn what happens to the world" - Spike Ein is such a good doggy. The animation and music is out of this world and in my opinion a step up from the show (which I love and rate a 4.5). I didn't emotionally connect…
{Todd}Apr 3, 2025For having just finished the show I will incapsulate this movie into my review. This has so much ramshackle material of bounty hunters with different aesthetics and a talent for always being impoverished that is shown throughout with the food that they eat yet also have so…

Undeniably one of the best episodes of Bebop and a story that cements Spike Spiegel as one of the greatest characters ever made. Exciting action, incredible soundtrack, and themes that make you contemplate existence. Strong 4/5
Very fun movie that keeps that traditional Cowboy Bebop charm. All action scenes were pretty great and just a fun movie to sit down and watch

This movie is really just as good as the series was, everything is exactly as it should be when it comes to Cowboy Bebop. The soundtrack and action is amazing, just like the series, and it really is a great extension of the series

Metacritic
There are so many good ideas at the visual level that you can't help wishing the narrative elements had been more cleverly worked out.
If you want state of the art anime that comes within spitting distance of escaping the limits of its genre, this might be your cup of bootleg sake.
