story is blah until the last few episodes.

this statement is incorrect

Come on. The story is completely nonexistent in the episodes that don't involve Vicious. Gratned there's three of them sprinkled before the final episodes.

Again here I disagree GREATLY. So you're saying that the story has to revolve around Vicious and Spike to be entertaining? Come on! Whatever happened to MAKING A SERIES, you can't do that with 2-5 episodes; that's retarded!

EDIT: And don't even throw out FLCL. That is only "1" anime out of a zillion.

No, the story has to revolve around Vicious and Spike to be a story. The rest of it had hardly any story elements involved at all. Unless you're saying that the story per episode counts, which it doesn't. I also understood FLCL's storyline. It's so cleverly made that you can hardly tell if there's a story involved or not.

You should watch Samurai Champloo then, it's by the same artist, and you might be sceptical, but i reckon it's even better than Cowboy Bebop - the fight scenes are awesome.
The soundtrack to Cowboy Bebop beats it though.
