Yeah, it is a pity party-because I'm going to be spending money for the box set some day (thanks a LOT CN!!!!! Only 5 more episodes and I would have had it all on tape since I was taping it the second time around. . .
)
Even worse to me, as I said, I'm a latecomer to Cowboy Bebop and this was my first time watching the series. I loved the art, the characterization except for Faye, and especially the music, although there was a lot about the series I really didn't like, mostly the often pointless fights and fanservice)
Anyway, at least with Trigun I can get the box set someday because it's not REALLY that much worse than what was on TV, and I did see the entire series once. But I heard rumors that the unedited DVDs of the Cowboy Bebop series were borderline hentai, so that means I never get to see more of the series than the 12th episode at which it ended. Grr.
