    Fantastic news. I'm not interested in most anime, but there's an itch I get that only Bebop and Samurai Champloo can scratch. I can't wait to hear the soundtrack.

      You might want to try Kids on the Slope it's also by Shinichiro Watanabe. Although it's slice of life and not action focused like those other titles. Its about a young concert pianist learning about Jazz for the first time, and getting caught up in it. The music is amazing as well.

        Kids on the Slope was a large reason I started listening to Jazz as a kid. I still listen to the last episode's version of Moanin' multiple times a month. Yoko Kanno (composer for Cowboy Bebop) was the composer for the show. And the animation is a treat for musicians, since they went to the effort to accurately animate the performances.

        Kids on the Slope felt special when I watched it as a kid. But I gained more of an appreciation revisiting it as an adult, as I caught so much subtext that I'd missed.
