CCP Cowboy Bebop Bomber Jacket

It took me a while to go back but, as soon as I saw Cuidado con el Perro had sales, I knew I had to go check if they still had Cowboy Bebop merch. And, they did!!

A few months ago, when I bought my Spike x Julia Cowboy Bebop Dress, I fell in love with a bomber jacket they had. It's weird because I'm not a jacket person but, for some reason, I kept thinking about it. And well, I finally got it for a great, great price!

It is a light, black, bomber jacket. The front is very simple with the Cowboy Bebop logo in white, we also have it on the sleeves but in black.

The cool detail is actually on the back where you can see the 4 main characters in black and white. (No Ein tho~) 

The sizes came from S to XL. Most of the times their sizes are a little smaller than expected but, it wasn't the case this time. I usually buy their stuff in size M but this time I got an S and it fits perfectly.

I wasn't planning to buy other things when I went to get it but after seeing their prices, I regret it. Most of their clothes had a 50% or 70% off and they still had many Cowboy Bebop pieces. I kinda want to go back and buy more. Hehehe.

Anyway guys, I just wanted to share it with ya'll because I love it way too much. 

See you Space Cowboys...

CCP Cowboy Bebop Dress

Awkward posing... LOL

Remember how last year I was buying Sailor Moon clothes from Cuidado con el Perro like crazy? Well, not long ago one of my best friends got a pretty cool Cowboy Bebop t-shirt dress and I went crazy! Then we got a white tee for our friend Marlon's birthday but when she went to get it, she told me there was not much left, I wasn't surprised considering how hard it is to find Cowboy Bebop official merch so, I knew I had to go get mine before they were all gone!!

Marlon's tee

I always complain that Anime licensed clothes are mostly for men in Cuidado con el Perro, I still buy them tho. But this time I was surprised of how many women stuff they had! Big yay for that!

From what I saw on their website, they have a new Cowboy Collection that includes pretty cool jackets, hoodies, skirts, shirts, dresses and even pants featuring the CB characters. I have to say they have nice and unique designs this time.

At first I was planning to get the same my friend has, then, when I got there, I chose a Vicious and Spike kind of jersey t-shirt just because they were Julia's men and well, I love Spike's past. But then, as I was checking other clothes with my mom I saw the most perfect tee dress... a white Spike x Julia dress. I WASN'T EXPECTING IT! I never find anything featuring Julia!

This is the pic on my tee dress, which is also one of my fav ones.

I actually thought it was a very long t-shirt when I first bought it, then I saw it is actually a dress.

The design is pretty simple, it is a white, cotton, boxy type of dress with a round neck and short sleeves. We have the Julia and Spike print in black and white with Cowboy Bebop written in purple which, I think, gives it a nice pop of color.

Something I really, really like are the details on the sleeves!

I got a size S thinking the others would be too big. It fits nicely and it is super comfy to wear. Lenght wise, it reaches my knees but, we gotta remember I'm pretty short.

The fabric is slightly see-through so I recommend wearing something underneath. I chose a nude bra and white lycra shorts(?).

I kinda want to go back and buy more pieces from this collection. I did notice some of the clothes are on sale right now. (Including the one I got)

So, make sure to go check them out if you're a Cowboy Bebop fan, I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.

See you Space Cowboys~

Cowboy Bebop the Live Action Series

Last friday (nov. 19th), Netflix premiered the live action series of Cowboy Bebop and I spent my weekend watching it cuz, I don't know if you know this, but I love the anime. I've been a big fan for a long time now. Plus it felt like forever since the last time I got the chance to spend that much time watching a show. 

You know how it is when it comes to live action series, we always have high expectations and it is disappointmentland most of the time. Especially with an anime like Cowboy Bebop that is loved by many. It is a classic.

To be honest with you, when I first saw the actors they chose to play Spike, Jet and Faye, I was like, bleh. I mean, Spike is one of my biggest anime crushes so, I really wanted someone who looked just like him. Faye and Jet were ok, but there was no Ed!! And I love Ed.

In the end, I loved these 3.

Then I got a little excited to find out that they would show Julia and Vicious! I was always fascinated by Spike's mysteryous past, his love for Julia and the relationship between those 3. We don't get to see much from it in the anime.

It was until I saw the opening, with the original song "Tank!" that I knew I had to give it a chance. I know that my opinion won't be the same as the one from hardcore fans but, yeah. I'll try not to spoil anything since I'm sure not everyone has seen it yet.

Remember this is not a review, just my opinion and random thoughts about a show I love and I'm fangirling over again. ^^ With that being said...

Where to begin? The show has 10 episodes so far, with music by Yoko Kanno which was great because music has always been a BIG part of this show. It is just amazing. The live action follows the anime in a way but also has many twists to it as well as some differences between characters. 

I really wanted to like the show from episode one and after watching it, I had mixed feelings! The main characters (Spike, Jet and Fave) grew on me really fast. Jet is just super cool, I feel like Mustafa Shakir potrays him perfectly! Even the voice reminds me of Jet's voice in the english dub. Faye, played by Daniella Pineda is great too. Her outfit might not be the same as the anime but I think it has her personality. The only thing missing there was the sexiness. I always saw Faye as a sexy, badass girl. I still liked her a lot tho. And my one and only, Spike. Played by Jhon Cho, has such a careless, free personality that I loved. His fighitng scenes were amazing and he had this very Spike like sense of humor. I loooooved his relationship with Jet. Now I love him as Spike. Even tho there were some differences with the characters from the anime, you can't help to love them.

We also get to see a little from Julia (Elle Satine) and Vicious (Alexander Hassel) during the first episodes, as well as Ein! He's the cutest dog in the galaxy.

I do have to say tho, that the things I was looking forward the most, were not exactly my favs. Yes, I loved to see more Spike's past, how he met Julia, how their relationship developed and all that but, I always saw Julia as this strong and independent woman which wasn't the case here. Also Vicious wasn't my favorite. Don't get me wrong, the actor is good, I just think Vicious was more... imposing(?) in the anime.

The bounty heads, the places and ships were great! I think it had good special effects and I looooooved the action and fighting scenes. 

The Bebop was amazing!

This has to be one of my favorite scenes

Shirtless Spike for no particular reason. ♡

I don't want to make this post a super long one so, all in all, I really liked the live action series! I had to watch more and more and now I'm obsessed. I hope they come up with a second season soon-ish cuz there's still a lot to see and unexpected plot twists that need a continuation. I also feel like it gives you answers to some things that were left unexplained in the anime. It was also cool to see references that only fans who watched the anime and the movie will notice.

Also, there a big, cool surprise at the end. Something that I was really looking forward too. Anyway, let me know if you guys already watched the show. Or, if you're planning to. Did you like it? 

See you space cowboys~ ☆
