Bebop is one of the most charming anime ever made, and there were a lot of elements that went into that. First and foremost, let's talk about the sounds of the show that rang in our heads and remain a beloved part of the series.

The music in this anime is iconic, as the use of smooth jazz, quirky songs and a combination of other genres made it feel vibrant and fun. Yoko Kanno was the genius behind this, as she acted as the composer for the show and absolutely nailed it.

When the live-action series was first confirmed, plenty of fans were hoping they'd reuse the original soundtrack, as it would be an easy way to keep the spirit of Cowboy Bebop alive in this reimagining. But, Netflix has gone a step further and have given us something delightful to look forward to.

Yoko Kanno is returning to take charge of the music for this live-action series and will be creating an entirely original score for it. Needless to say, this has many fans prepping their Spotify accounts ready to download the soundtrack as soon as they can.
