Holy cow! Anyone seen this yet. Same crew, new work. My housemate picked up the first DVD, it looks like the full season is going to become available. If you haven't yet, grab some vidi soon:

(turn on your speakers, not Yoko Kano but very eclectic modern stuff in this one, very much fits the style)

    It is an excellent series. I have been watching it via fansubs at anime-kraze.org (excellent translations) and animeforever.org (good translations, excellent background info)

    The music for the series is great, and the storyline has been fun to watch. Different than Bebop, but similar in some ways.

    Anime-Kraze did a translation of Paranoia Agent I compared to the full DVD version, and frankly it was BETTER than the DVD. Go figure.

    The show is still being broadcast in Japan, and they're almost done with the first season. It will most likely end up going to 2 seasons.

      2 seasons worth, awesome. And I'll relay those release dates to my housemate who beat me to the punch buying the dvd's.

      'Just thinking: Wouldn't it be great if a second season of Bebop started being aired...oh man.

        Wait... What?

        How would that happen? Did you see the end of the series?

        The only possability that I could see is if they based it around when Spike was in the Sindicate. Just a thought, not trying to destroy your dream!

        You can also get HD versions of Samurai Champloo if you look around Limewire...they have been doing HD versions of several animes for awhile now. My friend has an HD TV and we watched one...it was great!
