after reading this thread those people are janson and teefs
stand by a window
i'm going to kick you two out of it
And then they will fall in slow motion while a choir sings and have vague flashbacks to their respective pasts
And then something will explode
somewhere an indian man will cry and teefs memories of that one time he burned his tongue drinking some coffee too fast will come at a trickle and rush into a torrent of deep personal anguish
if they ain't movin' the main plot or developing characters, its filler
That doesn't make it inherently bad, though. It's the best filler of any series, ever.
It's an episodic series, with no particular direction for the most part, with a handful of episodes with actual plot to them. Ain't nothing wrong with that when it's done well, and in the case of Bebop it's done extraordinarily well.
So I'm counting fifteen non-"filler" to eleven "filler" episodes on Cowboy Bebop. But man, I love 'em all.

i am sorry i demand visual quality out of a visual medium
I guess any cartoon that doesn't have the characters doing little motions with their body and looking around and having full lip-sync the whole time is terrible.

I think it exists better as an idea on a drawing board.
i swear to god i think somebody alluded to it and i will not have any of this

Loved that scene.
Even more so, I loved how they offset how sad it was, by having Faye beat up mummy-Spike with a pillow immediately afterwards.
The best shows have humor added at just the right times, to keep things from getting too serious.

thousands of fucking wolves
i was catching different vibes from her sassfingers; seem it just is not for her
teefs though i don't even know what's happening there
I guess what I was implying was that I don't understand how you can call a fairly large percentage of the episodes "filler".
edit: but teefs it is the rumblo faaaaag.jpg and you're all over that kc green
fixed.
Alt accounts can be so useful.
Every episode expanded on the universe of Cowboy Bebop. They visit different places, you learn about the history and technology...

What bizarro world standards are you living on?
Even if you're right, Bebop at it's worst is better looking than most anime of it's time.
I really have to disagree here
I mean, I have no way to prove you wrong but I don't remember any parts where the animation stuck out to me as poorly done
me either
and what zephyr said, it's old
Welcome to 99% of cartoons?
that's true
but what does that have to do with cowboy bebop
its not whether there is a lot of action going on with the characters or in the background
but if they are pretty
