The artists for it habitually changed the style and flow of the anime, it's as though they were making fun of themselves and their creation. But don't expect the main plot to be coherrant in any way, shape, or form if you're a first time veiwer, it takes a little time for the plot to set in and begin to make sense. It has a really cute underlying coming of age story, almost heart-warming in a strange "WTF?" sort of way.

I was looking again in the AS forums for new announcements and I found some interesting information about the 2005 schedule.
All of this is in May: From the creator of Cowboy Bebop comes Samurai Champloo, an animeì series featuring two fighters with vastly different styles. Although far from being friends, they team with a waitress to embark on a search for a mysterious samurai. With a soundtrack featuring scratch beats, the series features a fighter employing a break-dancing style. Samurai Champloo will premiere Saturday, May 14, at 11:30 p.m. (ET, PT).
An intriguing detective story follows mysterious attacks by someone wearing rollerblades and a golden bat in the anime series Paranoia Agent. This series joins Adult Swim on Saturday, May 28, at 12 a.m. (ET, PT).
In the anime series, S-CRY-Ed, an unexplained phenomenon has occurred on a distant island called “The Lost Grounds,” giving birth to a new species of human, called Alters, able to manipulate matter into unique forms. Kazuma is gifted with the Alter ability, and unknowingly may hold the key to the peaceful co-existence between Alters and regular humans. Twenty-six episodes have been acquired to the series, which will begin Saturday, May 28, at 12:30 a.m. (ET, PT).
Hundreds of years ago, Inuyasha’s father sealed away a powerful demon from China named Hyoga. But Hyoga’s son, Menomaru, is awakened by a Shikon shard and is inspired to absorb the remains of his father’s power to take control on the world. Inuyasha and his friends must stop the nearly invincible enemy in the animated film, Inuyasha: A Love That Transcends Time, which will be telecast Saturday, May 14, at 12 a.m. (ET, PT). Based on the popular manga, the animated feature Metropolis uses both traditional 2-D animation and CGI. The story follows Kenichi and his detective uncle, Shunsaku Ban, as they travel to Japan to visit Metropolis in search for the criminal, Dr. Laughton. However, when they find Dr. Laughton, Kenichi and Shunsaku are separated and plunged into the middle of a much larger conspiracy. Metropolis will air Saturday, May 21, at 12 a.m. (ET, PT). June : Family Guy will return with new episodes under a unique arrangement in which Adult Swim and FOX share telecast rights to the revived series. FOX will air premieres of the Emmy-winning series in prime time; that next week, Adult Swim will telecast the new episodes at 11 p.m. (ET, PT) on Thursday and Sunday evenings. Family Guy, the fast-moving, 30-minute animated series about a tense but loving Rhode Island family, has become a sensation since its revival on Adult Swim in April 2003 and has had a series of successful DVD releases. Family Guy is Adult Swim’s top-rated series. All-new episodes of the popular animé series Inuyasha continue with the adventures of Kagome and Inuyasha. Together, they protect the powerful “Jewel of Four Seasons” from the demons and goblins who seek it.
July: Escaflowne, the animé feature film, follows the teenager Hitomi, who travels to Gaia, an alternate world, to escape her depression on Earth. In Gaia, she meets Van, a mysterious young king. Van will determine the fate of countries with a mystical dragon armor called Escaflowne. Time/date TBA.
August: In the second feature film based on the popular animé series Inuyasha: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, Inuyasha and friends have finally destroyed Naraku, and each start to go their separate ways. Unfortunately, this peace does not last long. Inuyasha and his friends are pitted against a new threat, Princess Kaguya. Kaguya aims to do the unthinkable by ending the flow of time, leaving the world in an eternal night. Time/date TBA.
September: Ghost in the Shell: Second Gig is the second season of the popular series based on the critically acclaimed animé feature film.
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie takes place on Mars, just before Halloween in the year 2071. Villains have released a deadly virus that kills hundreds. Fearing an even bigger, more devastating biochemical attack, a large reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction. Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters get on board and face their most deadly foe ever.
What do you guys think?

Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door ( it's rightful title ) is freaking awesome. It's my favorite anime movie to date. The music ( Yoko Kanno ) is awesome and the story is worthy of the series.
