Cowboy Bebop/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

** There was a [[PlayStation 2]] game all sent to be released in Japan and the States...then for some reason Bandai Namco canceled the English version and it never saw the light of day in the U.S. Fans are still scratching their heads wondering what happened to prevent its release. The game itself is the source of [[Cowboy Bebop at His Computer]]. There was another game for [[PS 1]] as well, which played a lot like ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star FOX]]'' and was also only released in Japan.

* [[Star-Making Role]]: The show that pretty much cements [[Steve Blum]], [[Wendee Lee]] and [[Beau Billingslea]] as legendary voice actors in the West.

* [[Too Soon]]: "Sympathy For The Devil", "Waltz For Venus", and "Cowboy Funk" were removed from TV showings after 9/11, and "Wild Horses" was removed after the Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' broke up in re-entry in 2003.

** "Sympathy for the Devil" had the misfortune of being slated to air on September 15, 2001. America was still in official mourning, and television networks freaked out about a backlash from airing ''anything'' even remotely objectionable. This episode being skipped was part of the fallout. During the second run-through of the series, it did air, albeit with the climax censored somewhat.

** "Waltz for Venus" (originally-planned airdate September 22, 2001, ''the very next episode'' – wow, 9/11 really screwed this show) appeared during the third run-through.

** It took until the third or fourth airing of the series for "Cowboy Funk" to make it in, but it did – the major censoring there was painting out the cannabis leaf on Jet's shirt.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Edward was originally going to be a boy, but they decided the character's mannerisms were more suited to a girl.

** It's also said that Edward might be based on [[Yoko Kanno]] herself. Edward's [[Prop Recycling|original character design appears in the series]], as one of the boys that Annie catches shoplifting a nudie mag.
