Thread: Do you think Cowboy Bebop is a reflection on real life?

Cowboy Bebop is a Departure from the traditional idea of Science Fiction and the depiction of a perfect future. Instead what cowboy bebop depicts the real world with future technology where even the basics are being taxed and the last war between humans was not half a millennial ago. Cowboy Bebop shows a projection of today's values on the world of tomorrow where the homeless still exist, drifters still drift and jazz still play's. This is the essence of why Cowboy Bebop is a cult clasic, it retains enough of the present to make it believable, but gives it the twist of the future to make it different.
