Cowboy Bebop (1998)
The rumors about this being the inspiration for Joss Whedon's Firefly weren't kidding, because the crew of Cowboy Bebop, even limited to four and a half members, appears perfectly mismatched and absurd in many ways. However, this space cowboy takes it a step further in its incomprehensibility, covering almost all genres, and – most importantly – excelling in all of them. Whether through the horror-themed Toys in the Attic, the hilariously funny Mushroom Samba, or the action-packed and thought-provoking Pierrot Le Fou, they take the best elements from cliché narrative techniques and transform them into a very savory result. And yet, paradoxically, this still isn't enough to earn the highest rating, precisely because of its episodic nature. While there are plenty of memorable lines, bullets fired, and Spike's deep looks, the main plot only gets about six episodes, which is a shameful waste considering the Syndicate's atmosphere and the charisma of Vicious himself.
