Cowboy Bebop

Synopsis: The crime is timeless. Until the year 2071, humanity expanded throughout the galaxy, filling the surface of other planets with settlements such as those of the earth. These new societies are tormented by murder, drug use and theft, and intergalactic bandits are hunted by a growing number of hunters of difficult rewards.

Spike Spiegel and Jet Black chase criminals throughout the space to gain humble life. Under his goofy and distant behavior, Spike is haunted by the weight of his violent past. Meanwhile, Jet manages his own problematic memories as they take care of Spike and Bebop, his ship. The duo joins the beautiful con artist Faye Valentine, the odd Child Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, and Ein, a Welsh Bioengineering Corgi.

When developing titles and working to get a colorful cast of criminals, the life of the Bebop team is interrupted by a threat from Spike's past. As the manic's plot of a rival continues to unravel, Spike must choose between life with his new family or revenge for his old wounds.
