5.0 out of 5 stars Well done action/adventure with revealing char. development., January 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cowboy Bebop - Ballad of Fallen Angels (Vol. 3) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape is rife with shoot 'em up action and snappy editing. Oh yeah, not to mention the incredible artwork design, animation, timing, plots and pacing. Shheeeesh! Anime so good I thought I was watching a cutting edge Hollywood movie. So far this series hasn't failed to blow me away with its adept entertainment edge. Animation fans should definitely watch this...action film fans should definitely watch this. Why this isn't broadcast primetime in America is a bafflement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contain one of the best episode so far, December 14, 1999

Your Anime Guide (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cowboy Bebop - Ballad of Fallen Angels (Vol. 3) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This volume contain the episode Ballads of The Fallen Angels which is da best episode so far. The visual is breathtaking and there are plenty of Hong-Kong-style gunfight, the closest I can think off right now is the church battle in the end of the John Woo's movie Face/Off. That said, this episode contains slightly more violence and blood than the usual Cowboy Bebop fare so you have been warned. If you have been following the series, you would have watched it by now, if you have not, its not too late, only 4 volume has been released thus far, you can still catch up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best tape of the series(or at of least the first ten tapes), December 15, 2000

This review is from: Cowboy Bebop - Ballad of Fallen Angels (Vol. 3) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

One of the first glimpes into Spike's past takes place in 'Ballad of Fallen Angels', making it (in my humble opinion, at least) the best episode in the series.

Confronted with figures from his past, Spike takes part in a showdown with Vicious, a man just as dangerous as he (plus armed with a badass katana).

As always, the animation in Cowboy Bebop is a solid mix of hand drawn and CGI. The action is fast-paced, and the characters interesting. However, the ever-present music in Cowboy Bebop takes attention away from all the other elements. Very diverse, it creates the perfect atmosphere to which your jaw can drop to the floor by.

The fact is Cowboy Bebop is one of the best anime (or manga, if you prefer) series ever, and this is the gem of the series. BUT FOR HEAVENS SAKE GET THE SUBBED AND NOT THE DUBBED!
