Eva, while possibly being the deepest anime out there, isn't nearly as good a show as Bebop. Cowboy Bebop has far superior characters, animation, and fleshes out the story extremely well throughout the show. Even though the main antagonist is only present in 5 episodes, you feel extremely strongly for Spike by the time you finish the series. Plus Eva has waaaay too much angst. It might be a masterpiece, but the last eight or so episodes aren't any fun at all.
Yes Eva is winning :) . *spoiler alert*
I hate comparing these two, they are my two fav Animes...but Eva just edges it.
Character wise, i can not seperate the two. The very human relationships inherent in both Animes, from Shinji and Asukas subtle sexual tension, to the Ironic story of Spike and Vicious (considering it was SPIKE not Vicious that was the original betrayer when he stole Julia), to Jet's excellent drama with his former lover, to Shinji's nervous breakdown, everything is full of passion and depth.
Fight scenes...different styles, but its again a draw. Neither is an action Anime anyway, but still great when they appear.
Animation...Bebop is a clear winner here, not that eva was not incerdiable for a tv anime. But they both had great styles, very different, but equally genius.
Eva will always crush Bebop in Plot. Bebop was never about a super complex plot...I love complex stories, so go Eva!
Now DEPTH...both are Equally deep. Eva engages you in deep philosophical debate, while Bebop uses incrediable subtle deepness, symbolism, imagery and sweeping statements of intense depth, but never impengeing on the fun...like Eva does. However, i love the upfront Deepness too. Another draw.
So in the end...the Depressive nature of eva wins it 4 me. I love dark unhappy things. Bebop was depressing...but i have never seen anything as depressing as Eva.

Eva Vs. Bebop... I'd go for Bebop, I liek a good dolop of fun in my anime.

Just who couldn't love that series, not only did it draw parallels to the styles and actions of other animes of its time but activly seeked to mock them in its own style. Not only that but they still created their own entertaining and quite deep plot along with absorbing characters and some of the best Anime Art I've seen so far :D Oh and Ruri, what tech support worker couldn't relate to her? Just don't mention the minor problems in the film and you have my classic :D
Also the unusually great Dub on Nadesico was also a plus :D
Holy kupo! It's tied. Before I voted and was reading through the posts, it looks like many people says Cowboy Bebop was boring to them. Well, to all their own, but I say Cowboy Bebop forever!
I say Eva for sure Cowboy Bebop is a good anime but can't hold a candle to Eva and yeah so Shinji would get his ass handed to him him and left bleeding the school parking lot late at night against uhhh whats his name if they went mano-a-mano and the Eva manga is awesome as well.
Bebop cause I've never seen the other one and Bebob is so... fulfilling.
you should see Eva..it's perfect and i can't believe it loses right now...Quote:

Rubedo: Dun' heard too much about Bebop though. Ah well.
Albedo: *Laughs maniacally* I feel like making a seperate Gundam Thread like this.
to be honest they're two different animes....
I liked them both, I will say though especailly if you seen the eva movies you'd see how brave the writers were with shinji's character *cough* end of eva scene *cough* hospital............
some of you know what I mean....
yeah the hospital scene is controversial a lot..but i still believe that Eva is much better than CB..but i guess everyone has his opinion right?Quote:

If I had to choose out of those two, I would say Eva, CBB (cowboy BeBop) is not with out some charm but in my opinion Eva satisfies both my hot blooded need for action and my overwhelming need for a good story (confusing though it may be).
However, My favorite Anime series would have to be a close call between Heat Guy J and Berserk.
Heat Guy J has a funky tech noir feel (Daisuke Rules) to it and Berserk has characters which I can really empathise with (I mean the first episode was sooo :whoa: ) I'd recomende it to all Anime fans.
Other distinctions in the Razael Hall of Fame include: Noir, Chobits, .Hack// and Ah My Goddess.
AVOID: Street Fighter V like the "Zombie" status effect.
My personal favorite is Arjuna very motovating storyline. ;) ;) ;) ;)
I haven't watched Bebop too much, or NGE---BUT I recently bought the manga to NGE. And that sways me......to vote for NGE. You can bet I'm going to be buying more of this stuff.
Although I DO want to check out Bebop; it looks really good, what can I say. And Christmas is...sort of close...
:D
