Ye I started watching Bebop a few weeks ago and I say it's one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I hardly ever watch any anime.
It's pretty good. In my opinon the only other anime that has gotten close to Bebop quality is Black Lagoon. I've heard good things about Samurai Champloo too.
Its a shame though that animation has become mass produceable rather being an art form. Animators rely too much on bright colors, lack of details, and 3d models. Its quite ugly to look at, but that is what happens when you are constricted by deadlines.
