This past weekend at Otakon, FUNimation dated and revealed several details about the highly anticipated Blu-ray release of
Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series 1998-99). The 26-episode anime series was produced by Studio Sunrise and will be available via
standard and Amazon exclusive
Premium Edition Blu-ray/DVD combo packs. Both are scheduled to street on December 16th.
Update: The Amazon exclusive
Premium Edition is now available for pre-order.
Synopsis: The Bebop crew is just trying to make a buck. This motely lot of intergalactic loners teams up to track down fugitives and turn them in for cold hard cash. Spike is a hero whose cool façade hides a dark and deadly past. The pilot Jet is a bruiser of a brute who can't wait to collect the next bounty. Faye Valentine is a femme fatale prone to breaking hearts and separating fools from their money. Along for the ride are the brilliant, but weird, hacker Ed and a super-genius Welsh Corgi named Ein. On their own, any one of them is likely to get lost in the sprawl of space, but together, they're they most entertaining gang of bounty hunters in the year 2071.
Complete tech specs and special features have yet to be detailed, but will be in the coming weeks.
