As part of Saturday’s PROGRESS programme, we’re thrilled to present Anime fan favourite Cowboy Bebop.
We’re taking a trip to Mars 2071 to follow the futuristic adventures of easy-going bounty hunter Spike Spiegel and his partners aboard the spaceship Bebop.
Following a terrorist bombing, a deadly virus is released on the population of Mars. The government has offered a huge reward for the capture of the bomber and there are 4 humans and a dog who really need the money. Down on their luck as usual, the crew of the Bebop get on the case.
Unfortunately, the gang’s about to find themselves in more trouble than money when the terrorist threatens to unleash his arsenal of devastating nano-bots. Can the crew use their wily methods to foil the dangerous plot?
