About Shinichiro Watanabe
Shinichiro Watanabe directs music first stories. Cowboy Bebop from 1998 follows bounty hunters with jazz and noir turns, plus a 2001 film that slots between episodes 22 and 23. Samurai Champloo from 2004 mixes Edo travel with hip hop. Space Dandy from 2014 plays as gag sci-fi, Terror in Resonance from 2014 as a Tokyo mystery.
Kids on the Slope from 2012 covers school jazz, Carole and Tuesday from 2019 follows Mars musicians across 24 episodes. Blade Runner Black Out 2022 from 2017 is a short prelude short. Lazarus from 2025 returns to globe trotting action with MAPPA, 13 episodes about a cure that turns lethal.
Good to know
Watch in release order, there is no shared world. Cowboy Bebop film fits late in its series but works after the full run too. Space Dandy resets jokes each week, so order matters less there. Terror in Resonance and Lazarus share thriller pacing but not plot. No next series had been dated as of October 2026. Start with Bebop for the core, then Champloo for the companion rhythm.
