Talk:Crusher Joe

Similarities to Cowboy Bebop
'' "Though only one movie and two OVA episodes were produced, Crusher Joe did exert a certain amount of influence on Sci-Fi Anime. This is most clearly seen in the highly successful 1998 series, Cowboy Bebop. The "specialists for hire" nature of the Crusher's work closely mirrors the Bebop crew's bounty hunting, and the makeup of the crew is also quite similar. Joe and Spike represent the cool and collected leader, Talos and Jet each fill the role of world-wise cyborg muscle, and both Alfin and Faye are rich girls who join the fun to escape trouble. Ricky and Ed each have the role as the youngest member of the crew, overly-energetic but still very intelligent. Finally, each Anime included a main ship (Crusher Joe's "Minerva" vs Cowboy Bebop's "Bebop") and a set of smaller craft which the crew members deftly fly during combat." ''

Will someone explain why this section is being removed? The commonalities between the two series are too close to ignore, yet the section is being repeatedly deleted without explanation. If you strongly believe that the above material is not appropriate for the Crusher Joe article, then please discuss your reason(s) why in this discussion area. If you merely remove this section without discussing the deletion first, then your edit will be reverted until the subject is discussed and an agreement is reached.
