Due to unfortunate leak on TV Guide, Jason DeMarco has indeed confirmed that Cowboy Bebop will be running a tiny marathon after the Trigun: Badlands Rumble movie as a “prep” to Space Dandy on Saturday, December 28th.
Jason has confirmed that they are not the HD Masters and will simply be a little marathon of their favorite episodes of Bebop.
