I don't watch much anime but I like Cowboy Bebop. It's often compared to Firefly.

It depends on your tastes. I watched it last year and didn't care for it at all. But in all fairness I don't care for anime and went in with higher expectations based on what I'd read about the series. In spite of reviews raving about its originality, I felt that it was very derivative, ripping off many other films/series, and was just another "adult" anime series having many of the same issues that generally turns me off the genre. But I also know several people who love the series and re-watch it regularly.

If you've enjoyed the anime you've seen *and* like SF in general then you should at least give it a viewing. The current price is inexpensive enough and you could likely sell it used, should you not like it, for the current Amazon price.

**EDIT**
To add that you *must* watch this with the English dub track. I normally watch foreign films in the original language with subs but the dubbing work on Cowboy Bebop is absolutely superb. Quite possibly the best ever done. I watched a few episodes twice, once in the original language and the other with the English dub, and then didn't bother again with the Japanese track again. It's that good.

That frequent comparison is one of the things that attracted me to the series but, other than the theme song, I saw few similarities.

The Hellraiser Scarlet Box from Arrow 63.19, which is frustrating for me, since mine has already shipped.
