Jazz > Hip-Hop
Don't get me wrong though. Champloo is good too. I just don't care quite so much for it because by the time I saw it, it had sort of a been there done that feel. Through the entire first episode I just kept thinking "Hey, it's Rurouni Bebop". Of course I later found it was more than that, but you get my point.
Oh, and Spike is my favorite in CB character.

Spike is my favourite character for obvious reasons - couldn't believe how they ended it; I think I might have shouted at the TV, lol.

Its just an awesome series, it reaches an inspirational side of me, when I watch it.
Favourite has to be Ed, random stuff= hilarity.
Never seen Samurai Champloo.

i prefer samurai champloo(though it's been a while since i watched it) though cowboy bebop does have vicious, the coolest bad guy ever.

Its a fair bit more adult in the concepts than Cowboy Bebop, but its almost as very much inspirational.
The music is still pretty funky too.
I'll still have to stick with Cowboy Bebop though.

Jazz > Hip-Hop
See, on one side of the coin i agree with that...and on the other side of the coin i don't. Jazz and Hip-Hop are two very different moods of music. Rap explains stories and Jazz is for easy listening. To me it would be kinda like comparing ice cream to pizza. Both are eadible foods, both taste very nice but they're very different from eachother. So, in that light, i'll just say i couldn't ever possibly put one over the other.
But as for Bebop. Damn, that was some serious badassery right there. We finished watching the whole thing last night on TV-links.co.uk. That last episode, i didn't expect it to end like that. It's a shame because with endings like those they could never make another season....which i suppose is a good thing because that way it keeps it's originality and doesn't get overdone. All in all, Spike is one cool guy and he's got my respect. Faye has become my favourite character because she's the one character who goes through most change through the series. Ed is cool, too. I found her quite funny at times.
All that is left is to watch the movie, i guess. *salute to Bebop*
Samurai Champloo, on the other hand, i've seen the first episode and already love the style of it. But then again, it's something very different from Bebop so it's a little hard for me to choose between the two as they're different. Mugen has a certain quality i like about him. The fighting style, mainly.
Still, i need to watch more of Champloo to learn more about the characters.

Although, the ages of samurai were pretty boring times, so I guess if it were portrayed accurately in the time period, that such mood was required.
It still had a good few laughs though.
Bebop, was a lot more comedic, I think Ed alone provided more laughs than the entire Champloo series. Then again, I have seen Bebop more times than Champloo (Champloo once, on tv-links...Cowboy Bebop, 2 episodes minimum, a few up to at least 10 times from back when Toonami was CNX and the iimmortal video of Ki)
The mushrooms episode and the creature from the fridge were excellent episodes, I thought.
I'm not a fan of history, and a big sci-fi fan...so maybe that has a big role on which series catches you more.
Both I find are inspirational series', after watching either one, especially with Bebop's ending, I really feel like I need to get up and do something, y'know.

God i love that episode XD;;
Cowboy Bebop has the greatest music ever. If the music wasn't so well placed i don't think i'd like it as much. It just *MAKES* the series. It's good to see an anime with *good* music. A lot of the songs remind me of Julian Lennons stuff, my favourite being Call Me and that other MP3 i have, the walking in the rain one. And Ballad of Fallen Angels is <3 Can never stop humming that. It's such a well done sequence at the cathedral, it gives me the inspirational shivers.
When i first seen this way last year i watched it all in Japanese and i have to say now after watching the English Dub, both are pretty decent. I was suprised.

Chalk it up to Yoko Kanno being a kick-ass composer. She has versatility up the wazoo. Her music in Macross Plus and Escaflowne was great as well. I agree the great thing about Bebop's music is it always fit the mood.

Someone else likes Call Me, Call Me, too!!! I never saw Ballad of Fallen Angels, but I've heard many good things about it. In addition to the music, the characters were great asset too, their interactions can provide both comedy and drama to the series. The director did an excellent job on both.

The music in Bebop was truly what made the show as TRiPPY said. (I have the whole soundtrack) Gotta say that the jazz feel Just works so perfectly! ^.^
Also, I feel like it just had a more well-planned storyline. (Last episode? 0.o)
I will admit, however that I haven't seen Samurai Champloo in a while. So I may be a little biased towards the show I watched more recently.

I prefer Cowboy Bebop over Samurai Champloo, honestly. Though SC comes a VERY close second. And as for my favorite characters in CB? Those three old guys you'd always see somewhere in certain episodes. You all know who I'm talking about, right?
i know them! they're on the movie aswell, flying the planes methinks!

This is a tough one...
Cowboy Beebop is an instant classic...
But I also love the dark overtone and sense of humor in Samurai Champloo...
I'll need to mull on this...
Beebop
1. Ed (because insanity is fun)
2. Spike (gotta respect a guy who can swallow a joint that fast )
Champloo
1. Mugen (his style and carelessness brings comedy to just about anything)
2. Gin (His serious demeanor is almost constantly interrupted by humor)
"aren't they beautiful? You know why fireflies have light? They're communicating for a mate. Sometimes they say that a male sometimes tries to attract another male."
*Gin gets out of bath*
God, that was priceless! (good idea on Gin's part)
