Mars. Days before Halloween 2071. Villains blow up a tanker truck on Highway One, releasing a deadly virus that kills hundreds. Fearing a bigger, even more devastating biochemical attack, an astronomical reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction. On the spaceship "Bebop," Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein) are bored and short of cash. But with the news of the reward everything changes. (official distributor synopsis)

English Mars on Halloween hides so many new interesting characters and opportunities for fights and shootouts that it turns Cowboy Bebop: The Movie into the most atmospheric, perfectly graded, and possibly best take on the life of these outer space bounty hunters. Spike, Jet, and Faye confirm the differences and interconnectedness of their personalities, and Ed has more great lines and antics than he does even throughout the entire series. That's why this feature-length film can surprisingly work as a standalone movie, but only an informed viewer will enjoy the characteristic outbursts of the main hero and a few subtle references to favorite scenes from the Cowboy Bebop TV series. What can you do – this gang enjoyed their wild ride among the stars right up until the last second. ()

English Spike is a badass in the show and he'll be no different in the movie. I had fun, at times I felt like I hit some dead spots, but you know dreams. I really like how scruffy everything is in this anime, if it was different it probably wouldn't have this charm. Those who have seen the series will have fun, those who haven't will have fun too, it just might take them a while to get their bearings. Are you living in the real world? ()
