Agreed on Cowboy Bebop, watching it was one of sad disappointments of my life. Intro looks and sounds great, everything else was kinda let down.
i like to think of it like this: whole setting, plot and characterization that were running on rule of cool, it would have been much cooler had I seen it in the 90s. Perhaps non-sensical plot was less distracting when you can watch one episode once a week at a late night slot and thus have forgot some details of previous episodes -- it becomes more difficult to bear when you can watch all the episodes. Today the futurism is no longer futuristic, and I've seen more series and games that do cyberpunk/scifi more seriously and coherently. I have seen works that have done the whole schtick of "eclectic mercenary crew of spaceship have space western adventures" and done it better (all the time I was thinking "I should be rewatching Firefly")
