    Ok, I honestly, truthfully have never seen it. I know, I know. But seriously, I’ve always been more into other genres.

    It is on sale this week in iTunes, and while I remember some people saying the dubbed is one of the most perfect ever done, and you owe it to yourself to enjoy Bebop dubbed, I’m leery of dubbed. I’m thinking of adding Bebop to my collection. I have seen parts of the movie, and I’m awed. So I will probably like it, if I just sat down and see it.

    Get the dubbed or not? :whistle::whistle::whistle:

    Supposedly it was quite good. I don't know though since I don't have it on media, but I had no complaints watching it on adult swim

    It’s competent and not bad iirc. I’m pretty sure there are some dub clips on YouTube that you can watch in order to decide if you like it or not :cookie:

    I think it's the only anime where the dub is good. don't get me wrong it has it's translation quirks, because they are trying to match the voice and the lips to what the character is saying or doing.

    I'm a huge fan of subs with only a few exceptions and Cowboy Bebop is one of them, but if you have the option, dual audio would be the best so you can choose.

    It's good enough to watch without your ears bleeding over the usual cringe we receive when watching other dubbed anime prolly because there isn't as much loli voiced characters in play but just that is an honest blessing , sorry and no offence to English Seiyuus who voice lolis it's just my own personal opinion.

    Sub is always better than Dub because you can never capture the magic of the original language. this works for all languages. try looking up American cartoons in other languages and it just sounds weird.

    however if i'm being 100% honest, the Dub for cowboy bebop isn't terrible and if you can stand dubs (i can't) then go for it.

    I’ve decided to wait for subbed. Besides, a good selection of my fav movies are on sale. I’m buying the “Natural” Saturday.:blobparty::blobparty::blobparty:

    I’m rounding out my collection of sports movies. :D I also am a fan of Redford. I’m kinda thinking about “All is Lost” but I’ve never seen it…;)
