Is it me, or is Cowboy Bebop sort of like Zelda in that pretty much everyone acknowledges that they're really good but actual discussion of them is surprisingly sparse?
Acknowledged classics tend to be talked about less in regular discussion after a certain point because there isn't much new to add. It's hard to come up with anything original to say about them because it has already been said, often more articulately and intelligently, by other people. Additionally, when it comes to stuff like Cowboy Bebop at least, a lot of people getting into the medium tend to start there rather than end up there.

I have been told that I was that guy in my English and History classes for most of my high school career. I am sorry, by proxy...
I'm not certain that discussion of Cowboy Bebop has been exhausted. Evangelion is older IIRC and people still talk about that.
Because NGE is a special kind of screwed up that polarises and galvanises fan madness like nothing else. It is accessible enough to have attracted a strong following, yet flawed and bizarre enough to confuse or infuriate just enough people to keep things lively. Less flawed, more easily parsed (yet not necessarily less deep) works like Bebop and even Trigun aren't talked up as much, even if they are "classics;" the same goes for more cryptic or alienating works like Lain or Utena.

I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I'm listening to the Fire Emblem medley from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The piece itself actually hails from Super Smash Bros. Melee and was one of my favorite pieces of music from that game; the Brawl version sounds tighter...

Catalan independence is one of those things I'm surprised isn't all over tumblr.
Whether or not you agree with those people, you must admit that there is far less debate over the quality of Cowboy Bebop.

^ Same deal, probably.
It's been awhile since vanilla ate my post.

Maybe there's just not much to analyze, idk.
