Toshihiro Kawamoto talks working with Logic on creating a new style for the Bebop.

By Evan Valentine

As anime continues to grow, it should come as no surprise that more celebrities are finding themselves drawn to the medium. In the case of Logic, the prolific musician has taken his love of anime up a notch by teaming up with Crunchyroll to create a unique fashion line focusing on his favorite anime, Cowboy Bebop. While it has been years since Cowboy Bebop came to an end, the legacy of Spike, Faye, Jet, and Ed continues. In a recent exclusive interview, we were able to talk with Logic as well as getting a quote from Toshihiro Kawamoto, the director of the original anime, regarding the unique collaboration. 

Logic was more than happy to discuss his favorite aspects of Cowboy Bebop, even confirming to us here at ComicBook that he had previously written a fan fiction story revolving around Spike and Faye in his teenage years. When asked what his favorite story was from the anime, Logic had a unique answer to the question, "I would say that my favorite episode answer is one that you might not expect. My favorite episode is the episode that takes place between the episodes, which is the movie, Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door. All of our characters are in the group, they know each other, even if you don't know them, it's feature-length, its super fun, wonderful antagonist, I love it."
