I just finally finished BeBop today. I think it does have a certain depth to it in some episodes, but it also pokes fun at the deep animes (the episode with the cowboy in it, when the bomber guy has these grandiose reasons for doing what he does). All in all, I think BeBop is about story-telling. Each episode (or sometimes set of episodes) introduced new characters and told a completely different story. I think the ending was a little cliché, but it did preserve the viewers idea of who Spike was. And it told his story well, I think.

Did I say Trigun disappointed me? I did. But I liked BeBop.
