Cowboy Bebob Outlaw Star and Space Dandy are all versions of eachother

Cowboy Bebop stands alone IMO as it's own thing, a dark Space adventure Seinen Anime with a tragic ending and surprisingly very little fanservice considering how it's main female character dresses

Outlaw Star is a Homophobic Shonen version of Cowboy bebop with marginally more fanservice

and Space Dandy is like a soft Parody of both, with a ton of fanservice, but oddly mostly of it's male characters (it's not like there's no fanservice of Honey or Scarlet but most of the nude or sexual scenes involve Dandy)

Outlaw Star is not homophobic, first of all.

Bebop is noir sci-fi (focus on how little humanity changes, low and hi tech meeting, drama over relationships), Outlaw Star is pulp sci-fi (space battles!  Super guns!  And a guy with a crew of hot women on his super special ship!  Gene is a more reserved version of a Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon, but he still gets the girl in the end), and Dandy is satire of sci-fi.

its a product of its time.

i suppose that raises an interesting philosophical question about when it matters, enjoying something then versus enjoying it now, where to draw a line between when old media is still aired versus frowned upon. I suppose a similar example would be the contrast between how Disney and Warner Bros handle racism in their 1930s animated shorts.
