Oh, I've seen Cowboy Bebop, and regard it as one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

I'm a pretty fierce Transformer fan, and since I know Japanese, I've made it a point to seek out as much of the Japanese stuff as I can find. A lot of it is bad, but sometimes they hit a gem. I've been translating a lot of the hard-to-find manga and story pages. You can see my stuff here:

Well, some are better than others. Most of the G1 mangas are tough to sit through, but I highly recommend the G2 minicomics by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Short but cool.

If I do have to give the Japanese credit, it's that I love the way they draw Transformers. It's not to say that I don't like artists such as Andrew Wildman, David Yaniger and Floro Dery, but the Japanese have a very good art style when it comes to the Transformers that I especially like.

Which is why I think the BEST way to do Transformers is to have Westerners write the stories and the Japanese draw them (ya know...like they did in the 80's). That way everyone wins.
