Cowboy Bebop 1998
Set to the backdrop of one the greatest examples of world building and art direction in any form of fiction, Cowboy Bebop is a slick mixture of jazz filled cyber crime and Wild West cowboy space battles. It’s a perfect concoction of the best aspects of Si-Fi and westerns that creates a tone that no other anime has ever been able to replicate.

A really heartwarming Christmas film that intelligently and comedically uses miracles to progress the plot. Definitely a change of pace for Satoshi Kon but his usual mind bending film tactics are present. It’s not my favourite of his work but it’s instantly become a go-to Christmas film for me, one I can see myself revisiting this time of year for many years to come.
