What happens

In 2071, roughly fifty years after an accident with a hyperspace gateway made the Earth almost uninhabitable, humanity has colonized most of the rocky planets and moons of the Solar System. Amid a rising crime rate, the Inter Solar System Police (ISSP) set up a legalized contract system, in which registered bounty hunters, also referred to as "Cowboys", chase criminals and bring them in alive in return for a reward.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"Choose subtitles over English dubbing; the native vocal performances, in Japanese, convey a hypnotizing malaise."

— Doreen St. Felix

"Visually, the show was an astonishing feat of invention premised on unlimited cultural exchange."

— Frank Guan
