There is a long thread discussing about the REMIX, with some comments from the studios representative.

I've been slowly buying the set whenever I've seen a used one. I guess I can stop but it'll be nice to know the release schedule.
Sounds like it'll be a nice set.

Just now finishing up buying the first set (don't have #5 yet). No way I'm starting over with these; not worth it to me, I'm satisfied with the current releases.

NOTHING will top the original R1 box; the quality of the new discs might be nice, but unless they come out with a nice box in a very limited run (which they probably will), the original R1 set will still continue to fetch a pretty penny.
speaking of which, i have one
if anyone's interested email me.

This probably isn't the proper place for this, but I'll ask anyway. I've only seen Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door. While I enjoyed it, I am not an overly enthusiastic fan of the film by any means. Would investing in the show be a wise investment for someone who slightly enjoyed the movie?

I love the series but the movie is just okay. It does have nice animation but the story just isn't that interesting -- it has the feel of a regular episode padded out to two hours.
The series visits a number of different genres (everything from "Alien"-style horror to John Woo-esque gunplay), so if you're bored with a particular episode, the next one might be more to your liking.

From: City of the lakers.. riots.. and drug dealing cops.. los(t) Angel(e)s. ca.
both are a good way to go. I believe it's 26 episodes and the movies take place during the middle of episode 23 or 24 (I'm sure there will be many folks who will be glad to correct me on any of these pieces of info)
I really don't see the current limited edition box set fetching that much once the new set comes out. I'm sure we will also see it released like this:
Disc 1 + empty box (for 10-15 bucks more than just buying Disc 1 on its own)
Monthly single dvds for six months
then when all the dvds are released it will be re-released in one large brick... WITH LIMITED COLLECTORS EXCLUSIVE PIN SET!!1111ONE11111!!!

What are these Session 0 extras? They're not talking about Session XX are they?
I'll stick with my discs regardless, I really only care about the actual shows. Bandai never has made good extra features, and having anything from the English crew is really just detrimental to me.
