Cowboy Bebop: The Movie

Special ‘Ani-May’ Film Talk screening with Ryan Ferguson!

25th Anniversary!

Cocky Spike Spiegel and the crew of his spaceship Bebop, an intrepid band of bounty hunters, land on Mars in the year 2071 chasing an enormous cash reward. The four-person team, including looming cyborg Jet Black, fearless Faye Valentine and tech expert Edward, are in search of ex-military officer Vincent, as the former hero has become a biological terrorist with an arsenal of devastating nano-bots that he’ll let loose on Alba City on the night before Halloween if his demands aren’t met.

Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
