But what really shines in this animated work is the artwork itself. The plot in this feature-length film (released in Japan in 2001) involves bioterrorism, which conveniently anoints it with an especially up-to-the-minute feel (especially poignant when Jet watches a grainy old print of High Noon and waxes nostalgic about the 'days when you faced your enemy'). And superheroes they are not - they're your average space cowboys rustling up scalawags with the ho-hum dailiness of any job, while Edward some kind of brainiac Pebbles for the new millennium. The series' regulars - bounty hunters Spike Spiegel, Fay Valentine, Jet Black, and genius hacker Edward Wong-hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV (a 13-year-old girl) - are rich characters with adult interests and desires, who manage to project many more dimensions than your average cartoon superhero. The film also uses the American voice talent from the TV show to dub the lines, ensuring continuity and unparalleled cleverness. This wild story about bounty hunters on Mars in the year 2071 is a mind-twisting ride, but so breathtaking is the movie's visual style and so entertaining its central characters that Cowboy Bebop: The Movie draws in newbies with practically the same ferocity as old-timers.
