For one month, The Dot and Line is publishing essays, interviews, and discussions about each episode of Cowboy Bebop, which turns 20 this April.
In celebration of The Dot and Line’s Space Cowboy Serenade, Japan is resurrecting Cowboy Bebop. And even if that’s not the real reason, we’re taking what credit we can.
Starting on May 15, two Cowboy Bebop–themed cafes will be opening in Japan: one in Toyko and one in Osaka. They will only run through June 10, and they will only be in Japan. (This is cruel, since we are New York–based, but we’ll forgive them if they fly us out there to report on them.)
There’s no word yet on what the cafes will look like or serve—or how many bar fights you’ll be able to have in them.
Stay thirsty, space cowboy.
