The Nihon Review by Kavik Ryx does a great job in analyzing Cowboy Bebop. Kavik Ryx says that the soundtrack is 'brilliant Kanno Yoko jazz style,' the animation is 'fluid like water,' the characters are 'quirky, dynamic, and just plain likable,' the style is 'amazingly unique,' and the one drawback is 'could have gone on longer.' And I could not agree more with Kavik Ryx. Sony vegas na ios. It is so interesting how important music is for anime especially for Cowboy Bebop.
