Inspiration for Ed > Before Cowboy Bebop, I met this composer. And the composer was female and very eclectic. And during the production, she would kinda just roll around on the floor and do very strange things. And on occasion she would make strange noises. I thought it would be interesting if I could put her in as a character in my next series. Yep that tracks

    Interesting. I dont know much about her but i love her scores. GITS (Inner Universe; Rise) and Noir (canta per me; salva nos) are still in my playlists after 20ish years.

      I got the cowboy bebop soundtrack CD signed by her, she is a nice and normal person

  Yoko Kanno is an amazing person. I'm blown away by her creative works. But personally, I found Ed (in the anime) to be super annoying. I wish her character was written differently.

    Cowboy Bebop had a really good soundtrack, but on a quick google I couldn't find anything that noteworthy that she's done besides that. What are you referring to?

      She's done a bunch of work on the Ghost in the Shell anime series (S.A.C.), along with a whole lot of other stuff. https://myanimelist.net/people/508/Yoko_Kanno https://myanimelist.net/people/508/Yoko_Kanno

    Quite a lot of plagiarism though? https://yokokanno-ojaru-jp.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US https://yokokanno-ojaru-jp.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x...

      I've also seen this mentioned on Reddit and unfortunately it seems to be accurate (the site you link to looks a bit sketchy though). The music of hers that I like is great music and if she was influenced by other songs then that's mostly alright I think. The couple of songs that are more copies/ripoffs than just "influenced by" do irk me, but from what I saw last time I looked into this none of my favourites were straight ripoffs.
