A legendary episode of Cowboy Bebop, known for its strange premise, was actually based on Shinichiro Watanabe's personal experience, according to him.
A recent interview with Shinichiro Watanabe has revealed that at least one Cowboy Bebop episode was based on his own real-life experiences. And yes, it's exactly the episode you hope it isn't.
In a recent Forbes interview with Ollie Barder, Shinichiro Watanabe talked about his career and the creation of Cowboy Bebop, as well as Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy. While some of the information had been divulged by Watanabe in previous interviews and convention appearances, one story about a producer stood out.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Fridge Was Real In the Forbes interview, Watanabe states, "As for the idea behind the episode Toys in the Attic, that came from [Masahiko] Minami’s refrigerator. This dates back to when I worked on Layzner. Minami was also a production manager, more senior to me. One day Minami asked me to help him move house, and when I got there his refrigerator was outside, and he told me that it could never be opened.
In the actual episode, Spike begins to have a suspicion as to what the creature could be. He left a certain type of alien lobster in a fridge in a little-used part of the ship, hiding it for later. However, the delicacy was forgotten about for a year, and so when Spike heads to the fridge and opens the door, he finds it turned into a horrific alien nest, as the creature wasn't all the way dead.
The episode is a send-up of classic sci-fi horror like Aliens or The Thing, but the monster's origins make it far sillier. For Watanabe, though, the fridge was an all-too-real horror from his younger days that managed to lurk in his memory for years to come. As weird as the episode may be, details like these are a part of what makes Cowboy Bebop so unique.

Special Episode: Jim BrownListen to this episode from Last Days on Spotify. On May 19, 2023, Jim Brown - quite possibly the greatest American athlete ever - died after a long illness. As great as Brown was on the field, his most indelible impact may well be be as a civil rights pioneer who fought fiercely for revolutionary causes. During a time when athletes – especially Black athletes – were expected to keep their ideas to themselves, Brown was a proud rabble-rouser who paved the way for later generations to openly fight for the causes that matter to them.
