I see. I looked it up on Wikipedia and began reading the basic synopsis and was like lolwut.......
But hey, if it's light-hearted then I don't really mind a complex, twisted and confusing plot - especially if it doesn't take itself too seriously.
Oh Cowboy Bebop. Y' know I have actually seen that, about a year ago or so. Only watched it once through so far, but I found it very immersive. I particularly liked the attention to detail with all the environments, like the cities and space-ports etc. One detail that I'll always remember was how their pots of Instant Noodles came with water and a mini ignition flame that was activated when twisted - literally making it INSTANT noodles...... I liked that for some reason!
I also liked the sort of family dynamics with the three main characters. Good show, can't say I've seen your other suggestions though.
