If Cowboy Bebop uses Mecha instead of Spaceships, I think Gun X Sword is the closest thing to it. Watching this anime in preparation for SRW T and this anime doesn't disappoint for a mecha fan! Gun X Sword premise share plenty of similarities with Cowboy Bebop where a Ragtag band of Misfits lead by carefree protagonist who had personal vendetta with the Main Villain. To me Gun X Sword is a series that had a place somewhere in between Wild Arms and Cowboy Bebop, a closest thing to a Spaghetti Western Mecha series. Surprisingly the production value of Gun X Sword is quite high and the mecha designs are one of the better of its time. The series had solid start in the first half but went slightly downhill on the second part which probably made this series forgotten. Nevertheless Gun X Sword still conclude its story properly and remains a good watch to this day.
