Outlaw Star

Like Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop focuses on a group of mercenary-like characters travelling the galaxy in search of opportunities, and both series have an overall story arch that concludes nicely in the end. Cowboy Bebop is the more "down to Earth" of the two, dealing a bit more with character and plot development in each episode, where Outlaw Star has a bit more flair and spectacular scenes. They are quite similar in theme, and if you liked one, you're sure to like the other.

Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop are both about space bounty hunters with great space action and a great plot. The music in Cowboy Bebop is wonderful, but not similar of course to the music in Outlaw Star.

Cowboy Bebop is the superior to Outlaw Star in every way, and both are space operas, so if you liked Outlaw Star you will really like Cowboy Bebop.

If you like space, adventure, funny jokes and bounty hunters then both Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star should please you. Although the animation quality differs because of the years in which they were made, if you are watching these for plot you won't feel the difference. Both of these anime have a main plot but are mostly a series of stories that tell about the small adventures the main characters are in.

Both Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star deal with space and a group of people on a spaceship who are trying to make it through life and survive. There is also a romance aspect in both series and a sense of adventure.

The similarities between Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star are undeniable. They both take place in space and start out following two main characters but the cast quickly widens as both Spike and Gene start to gain new companions along their travels. While Spike's a bounty hunter and Gene is just an outlaw they are very similar: both are skilled gunman and martial artists who you find yourself constantly rooting for. Jet and Jim are also surprisingly alike in the fact that they are the ones with the common sense and are almost babysitting some of the cast at times. So if you like either of these series you have to check out the other as it's an almost guaranteed good watch.

Both Bebop and Outlaw Star have the same feeling about the construction and feel of spaceships that look like they are made of old steel, bolts and grease. Also both series have a cowboy/western feel.

Both 'Cowboy Bebop' and 'Outlaw Star' deal with cruising through space and kicking ass -- which to me, are really good draw points.

Whereas 'Outlaw Star' is more concerned with the characters working closely together to chase after the fabled Galactic Leyline, the crew from 'Cowboy Bebop' focuses more on their marks as bounty hunters. It's interesting to see the characters not only work under the same roof but strive for their individual agendas.

Either way, I recommend 'Cowboy Bebop' if you liked 'Outlaw Star.' It's not only the next logical step, it's a mature one.

Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop are really quite similar. Both have to deal with working outside of the law to reach goals. If you enjoy space battles with a good complex story for each character you will enjoy this.

Like bounty hunters in a space-like environment? Who do you think made the big bucks first? Gene Starwind or Spike?

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star feature a motley crew with a knack for antagonizing others, but also a bit of bounty hunting here and there. Though the two crews have two different goals, the viewer is sure to enjoy every minute of their adventures.

Both Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star have a space theme, are action-packed like you crave for every day, and have an interesting plot. These are must-see anime for any fan.

Both series are futuristic and set primarily in space, contain likeable characters such as Spike from Bebop and Gene from Outlaw, have a fair amount of space and ground-based action, and have good plots. I found that both shared a sort of similar feel due to all that they blend together.

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star have a similar feel and the fighting in both is so cool. The stories are very similar, as well.

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star both involve a team of bounty hunters. Each series has comedy, crazy action, and lots of space travel.  

Released only 9 months apart, Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw eerily share a lot with one another. They both have bounty hunters in space fairing civilizations trying to earn enough money to survive, who end up with more on their plate than they bargained for. But the similarties pretty much stop there.

If you dig either one, you will probably enjoy the other.

While Outlaw Star tends to stick with a more slapstick comedy and cartoon laws of physics in order to maintain a fun atmosphere in the meshed Mecha-Spaceship fights and various situations/character mannerisms; Cowboy Bebop seems to try to stay more true to reality and keep some of the laws of physics in order to create more tense situations during it's ship-to-ship battles and the ever impending responsibilities and necesseties of life driving the characters to do what they need to.

Cowboy Bebop is my favored of the two but Outlaw Star is a lot of fun, and a nice change of pace. If you like Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop should be right up your alley, since it is more of a low key / low profile take on space fairing bounty hunters. And if you like Cowboy Bebop, unless you hate cartoon comedy and look down on slightly less mature content, OS should definitley be watched.

The fact that Outlaw Star has a outer space type setting and is about mercenaries is a good reason to watch Cowboy Bebop. Like Outlaw Start, Cowboy Bebop has a good mixture of comedy and action with a dash of a love story. Both are pleasing to the eye and characters are more defined thought out the series.

Outlaw Star could almost be considered a Bebop clone, but there are enough elements to set the two series apart. Outlaw Star is an incrediblely fun series to watch, and Bebop is very much the same. If you like one, you'll most likely like the other as well.

Who knew being a bounty hunter could land you in a heap of trouble? In both of these series you follow the characters as they try to make it big, while narrowly dodging the proverbial bullet. Each series with their own unique crew of misfits makes for a colorful combination. Guranteed that if you liked one, you'll like the other.

Both of these shows follow their own ragtag group of space adventurers. At the same time the look and feel of the shows are very similar, and most importantly, they both have that same feel to them, which I can best describe as Wild West in Space? If you liked one, you'll definitely like the other as well!

These series both have intergalactic adventures featuring characters that develop emotionally throughout. Giving them a meaningful plot along with great interaction amoung the characters.

Both series revolve around two perpetual "space cowboys." While Cowboy Bebop may be a bit darker, Outlaw Star certainly makes up for it with it's awesome grappler fight scenes and unique characters.

I found Outlaw star to be very thin, but if you like to "outlaw" attitude, with the spacr junkey adveture, then Cowboy Bebop is definately for the rest of us. I believe that the Cowbot Bebop story line is far more developed and eeper, so this should be enjoyed more than outlaw Star.

In both scenario's you have a hero who is less than perfect, with personal issues he is attemting to work around or run away from. They both incorporate space travel as an everyday event and through it manage to come upon jobs to help repair the ship, refuel, buy ammunition and eat. Through the accomplishment of the jobs, the plot develops, showing the watcher a deeper portrait of the charachters lives. Another similarity is that the music in each anime is also very well thought, even though it is a different type of music.

Cowboy Bebop incorporates only actual weapons and fists in the non-space fighting scenes, whereas Outlaw Star uses more sci-fi type mechanical weaponry in the battles. Nevertheless, the anime's has many similarities between them that would make a lover of 1, definately a lover for the other.

Outlaw star and Nadesico are both set on a ship where the crew fights in space, with an awkward girl piloting the ship. Outlaw star doesn't incorporate mecha fighting as a primary battle method, instead it is more one on one gunfighting type, but if you liked either of the two then you are sure to like the other.

They both are about a couple of funny people that never have money and when they get money it goes to there debt. There full of comedy and action.If you like Outlaw Star you are going to like Get Backers to.
