Welcome to the Cowboy Bebop Attic. As the name suggests, this may not be a mainstream site that most fans would end up visiting-- but if you're the kind that likes to discover Easter eggs that the creators embedded into the series, the kind that likes to debate over the symbolism and references in the show, then the Attic may not be all that bad a place to be.

Cowboy Bebop can be enjoyed on many levels. Certainly, if you watched it purely for laughs you'd have a fantastic time anyway. But the series is also, particularly where important plot points are concerned, laden with ambiguities and therein lies the deeper beauty of this work. Have ten people watch this show and you could well end up with ten different theories about it, each as valid as the next but no less alike.

Since the series is deliberately left open to interpretation, what exists within the Bebop Attic is purely my take on the series, just one version of the many stories that Cowboy Bebop could have told. I did pile on the evidence to make my case, so hopefully some would provide food for thought. Enjoy.
