The episodes are wrong from my DVD version order and do not coincide even with the WOWOW or Adult swim air date episode order. Considering ( by the wiki ) that the Tokyo order did not even air 14 of the 26 episodes shouldn't we be using either; One of the other orders or Two a completely different version list like a DVD box set or adult swim order or some such or The English translation order ? I do know that the scrapers from my KODI installs have the episodes wrong compared to the vast majority of the accepted episode lists out there . I am looking over the series now and notice that , for instance the very end of 'Asteroid Blues' shows the preview for the next episode which is 'Stray Dog Strut' right on down the road and that is not even mentioning that the episode flat out shows 'Asteroid Blues' as Session #1 2:18 into the episode . So in conclusion this series needs : the episodes reordered for air dates other then original Tokyo broadcast ( because that is not complete and mostly wrong for most users ) ...or another episode list for another format DVD ..in my case the English version ( which aligns with the Adult Swim/Cartoon Network air dates ) and probably most other languages/releases too .
I also noticed that Networks is locked in the editing, this show aired on Cartoon Network/Adult swim for a couple years and still may for all I know and can not be added .
I just don't know how to add another alternate version on here without messing up the original or I would do it myself .
So my proposal would be "Cowboy Bebop" ( Tokyo Original Version) as a series and "Cowboy Bebop" ( Adult Swim - English ) as a sub or alternate version with the right episode order if that can be done here with the same series ? All the rest of the data should be pretty close to identical i.e looking over credits I am not seeing any production changes but note I have not looked at English voice talent cast names etc. to see if they line up with the current listing and do not have the original broadcast version available anyway to compare.
They could also be 2 different series since the language and text really are different, I am to lazy at the moment to dig out my dvd's and see if there are alternate languages on them like Japanese .
while original air date is a great guideline for most movies it is kinda of a determent when it comes to a TV-series that has a definite story line and order when the two do not agree the series episode order NOT the air date should rule that is just common sense 99% of the time .

The Network field is intended for the original network(s) in accordance with the guidelines.
Creating two different pages for the same show is incorrect and unnecessary duplication of data.
The main episode list will not be changing, because it is in the original airing order. As for any other episode order, such as a DVD order, our episode group feature is what you need to look into; you can add more episode groups here. Episode groups should also be available through Kodi, if I remember correctly.
