“See you space cowboy…”
Once upon a time, in New York City in 1941… at this club open to all comers to play, night after night, at a club named “Minston’s Play House” in Harlem, they play jazz sessions competing with each other. Young jazz men with a new sense are gathering. At last they created a new genre itself. They are sick and tired of the conventional fixed style jazz. They’re eager to play jazz more freely as they wish…
The bounty hunters, who are gathering in the spaceship “BEBOP,” will play freely without fear of risky things, they must create new dreams and films by breaking traditional styles. The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called… “COWBOY BEBOP.”
A bounty hunter (or cowboy) is a private citizen with the authority to capture fugitives for a monetary reward given by a law enforcement organization.
The ISSP issues bounties on wanted criminals throughout the Solar System but individual planets, in particular Earth, may have their own personal police force to release and pay for bounties.
