So I recently downloaded the entire series Cowboy Bebop and have been re-watching it.

It's been at least 15 years since I watched it originally (came out in '98) and I'm about a third of the way through the series again (it only lasted one season ... plus one movie ... which ironically reinforces the next paragraph).

I never at the time realized it but I'm amazed just how much it influenced Firefly (or for the more cynical among us how much Joss Whedon stole from Cowboy Bebop ... and that's not a criticism It was either Pablo Picasso or TS Elliot ... or someone else who said "Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal").


Anyway I know there's several Firefly fans here so I wonder of those of you that have watched both, if you see the similarities too.
