Roughly ten years ago I watched a 26 episode anime called Cowboy Bebop and it changed my life. It’s still my favorite show of all time and the music is to die for. A couple of years later the creator of Cowboy Bebop Shinichirō Watanabe came out with another series titled Samurai Champloo which was not better then Cowboy Bebop but still better then most everything that has come out. Basically I realized at that point that Watanabe was a master, but he was the type to wait long periods in between shows. However the wait is finally over as he is officially starting his third show in April. The Japanese title is Sakamichi no Apollon and the English title might end up being called “Kids on a Slope”. We’ve got the 30 second teaser trailer for you right here which came out on Thursday.

The other big news is that he is teaming once again with the amazing composer Yoko Kanno, who brought the amazing soundtrack of Cowboy Bebop to life. Anyone who could find and place this song into a series is a genius.
