Eight episodes into my latest Cowboy Bebop rewatch, and this series hasn’t aged a day since 1998. The writing, direction, characters, and design are all top-notch, and I know it’s not just my nostalgic attachment to the series saying that.
I had the same thoughts the last time I rewatched The Vision of Escaflowne, too. That’s another series I’m due to rewatch again, the last time being when the blu-ray for it was released, probably ten years ago now.
