We all know it's time to blow this scene… get everybody and their stuff together. But why is it we’re always excited to jam after a simple three-count? Glad you asked oh wonderful-viewer-of-Working-Titles-you! Because Matt from Extra Credits breaks down how in a mere 90 seconds, the opening credits of Cowboy Bebop quickly and effectively primes your mind for the world you're about to inhabit, though its lens of fast jazz, western cinematic language, and science fiction iconography. Now does he also go on a tangent about the series using Jazz as doctrine rather than a set-dressing, a personal flashback to a Suncoast Video, and get emotional over a spy satellite's planetary carvings? You bet he does. But he assures us, it's all integral to discussing how this open perfectly pumps you up, while at the same time assuring you that you‘ll be rewarded for your time spent aboard the Bebop. Of course we’re not saying it's the most successful setup for a forthcoming piece of media of all time… but we’re pretty sure Matt is.
