Cowboy Bebop—Studio Sunrise's classic sci-fi Western series—needs little introduction for anime fans. To honor the iconic work, Crunchyroll is teaming up with Grammy-nominated rap icon and longtime anime fan Logic for a new streetwear collection that evokes the cool, retro feel of the classic space Western series.
As detailed in a recent press release, the upcoming Crunchyroll x Logic x Cowboy Bebop collection includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, hats, and hoodies designed by Cowboy Bebop animation director Toshihiro Kawamoto. With Logic at the helm, the merchandise seamlessly blends the artist’s iconic hip-hop brand with manga and anime-inspired designs featuring Spike Spiegel, Faye Valentine, Jet Black, and more. Some of the merchandise also features the show’s iconic episode-ending quote, “See you again, Space Cowboy.” CBR readers can check out the official preview images below.

Logic’s decision to merge his brand with Cowboy Bebop stems from the artist’s lifelong love of the series. Notably, he cites it as the work that introduced him to the medium of anime, which eventually led to high-profile musical collaborations with major industry figures. “Anime was there for me as I grew up in a childhood and family rife with drugs and violence,” he explains. “I discovered anime through Cowboy Bebop, and then befriended Spike Spiegel’s vocalist, Steve Blum, and collaborated with him on various albums, which was a dream come true. Without Cowboy Bebop, there would be no Logic.”

Cowboy Bebop remains a classic Western
Crunchyroll is streaming Cowboy Bebop, which is described as a “motley crew of intergalactic loners teaming up to track down fugitives and turn them in for cold hard cash.” Widely regarded as a classic, the anime is widely praised for its iconic soundtrack, exciting action sequences, and fluid animation. However, Logic hopes that the anime’s popularity will spread even further with the help of his new streetwear. “I just hope that partnering with Cowboy Bebop and Crunchyroll will allow me to introduce even more of my fans who may not be into Cowboy Bebop, and vice versa,” he declared. “I [also] Hopefully more Cowboy Bebop lovers will realize that I'm making fun anime albums for die-hard fans.”
The Crunchyroll x Logic x Cowboy Bebop streetwear collection is now available for pre-order on Crunchyroll's online store.
