Plot /Summary: Cowboy Bebop #1

Jazz Agers, flower children, lost generation, beatniks, rockers, punks, nerds, hackers, lovers, generation X - whatever the designation, there have always been outlaws in our society who live in pursuit of autonomy. At times they are revered for their roles as pioneers, challenging the unknown; other times people consider them lawless desperadoes and a dangerous presence. Yet, really, it is only their exhuberant music and an autonomy founded to express opinions different from those of others that set them apart from the rest of society.

The year 2071 A.D. That future is now. Driven out of their terrestrial eden, humanity chose the stars as the final frontier. With the section-by-section of collapse of the former nations a mixed jumble of races and peoples came. They spread to the stars, taking with them the now confused concepts of freedom, violence, illegality and love, where new rules and a new generation of outlaws came into being. People referred to them as Cowboy Bebops...
Profile: Spike

Full Name: Spike Spiegel

Age: 27 (Born on Mars)

As a member of the Red Dragons, Chinese mafia group, Spike was impetuous and volatile, and had a sense of what was right. Now, however, he is cool and self-possessed, and has taken steps to hide this past so that he can live a free life.

Together with his partner, Jet Black, Spike the bounty hunter flits from planet to planet in the spaceship Bebop. Relishing new encounters and loving danger, he never forgets to crack a joke no matter how dire his predicament.

A practitioner of Jeet Kune Do...Spike is never defeated in unarmed melee combat. He attaches little value to money or the concept of justice, but he will always fulfill his obligations. He believes in accomplishing everything in his own way and has utter faith in his own values. As a result of this, he is always embroiled in some kind of trouble.

He excels at sword fish II, a form of high-speed combat, and his privately built "baby" is the fastest ship of its type. This ship is a customized version of one originally developed for racing in asteroid belts. He worships the martial artist and philosopher Bruce Lee as his spiritual master.
Stars: Kôichi Yamadera, Unshô Ishizuka, Megumi Hayashibara

Additional Information.
DVD Check-list
  • It is important that you know the region code system of your own DVD player otherwise you may select a DVD that will not play on your device.
  • Generic UK DVD player/devices are often set to the official region code 2
  • Multi region players are available that can play all regions. Is your player multi region?
  • It is possible to circumvent the region process on most devices but this requires you researching such methods for your device.
  • Check your player documentation, use a region check software, or search the Internet for the region code of your player.
  • Some computer's DVD players allow you to software change your region, a specific number of times before forcing a permanent region.
  • In theory putting the wrong DVD region type in your player should not cause damage but multiple tries can lead to issues indexing disc and surface abrasions.
  • If you have a UK brought player, and are In doubt; for now only buy region 2 (official), Free, 0, 9, All also any DVD that bares the BBFC age rating.
  • Although most modern (HD) TV's can display (decode) both PAL & NTSC, older TV's (analogue) may require setting adjustments, but this a very rare issue [based on the constraints of the old fashioned tube TV]. 
  • There is also a third TV encoding system, SECAM used in most of France, Russia and parts of Africa.  So please check your display equipment and DVD's from those area for compatibility..
Many of the DVD's sourced for Dream Edition come from different counties (or regions). It is the buyer's responsibility to research their own equipment compatibility. Where no info given, please do not assume, ask!

If you wish to help:
DreamEdition is a private seller (not a business). If you have a number of DVD, VHS, VCD, Laser-discs movies, paraphernalia etc: that you have no use for and feel they are best served being sold to raise money for UK and some international charities, please email us. We can not offer money for them specifically, but may be able to help cover postage costs.
Further Note: mainstream movies may have little value but cult, special//limited editions, oriental or movies in discontinued formats may. We will also keep you informed about your donated item.

With so many new charities, austerity, cost of living, often affecting those who usually give, now having less disposable funds each year.

  • If you are buying a blu-ray disc/film make sure your device can play 'blu-ray' formated discs. 
  • Most Blu-ray players are backwards compatible; playing region compatible DVD, VCD etc. See your equipment documentation for compatibility details. 
  • Ordinary DVD players can not play Blu-ray discs, as the physical DVD equipment is of older technology which, are unable to process the newer data rich Blu ray format.
  • If you are buying a new player, we strongly suggest, a Blu-ray, multi-region (region free) player or recorder, as it will play most current disc formats, older disc types as well as better support for burnt CD/DVD/Blu media. If it has H.265, support you may be able to burn, or play the latest downloadable/Internet media.
