This series gets so much good press for a reason..

This is one of the reasons why I think Cowboy Bebop is overrated...because everyone says it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I don't think it sucks, but I've seen better.
One of the major problems I have are the plots (or lack of). For the most part they are just filler episodes after filler episodes. Basically what happens is that they 1) go out for the bounty 2) somehow lose all or most of the bounty 3) someone dies 4) back on the ship complaining on how they lost the bounty. Vicious could have been one of the most kick-ass villians of all-time, but thoughout most of the first part of the series, he is in the background with only a few minutes of airtime.
The animation, artwork, and music of Bebop is top-notch, but I compare it to the best anime I've seen (Evangelion and Escaflowne) and Bebop doesn't stand out. However, some ppl probably don't like Evangelion or Escaflowne, so different strokes for different folks I guess.
