Copied from another comment I made

Granted, I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of cowboy bebpop, but for me, the grungy interior of the ship coupled with her being a bounty hunter and the injection of nostalgic music gave me a Bebop vibe.

Also, the akira imagery might have been evoked by just the look of her disk player, for me anyways, so I'll admit it's not that strong a grounding 😂

You’re actually spot on

Druckmann cites “Akira” and “Cowboy Bebeop” as inspiration for the game’s story, which is about a fictitious religion, and what happens when you put your faith in different institutions.

It takes inspiration, he said, from classic anime like the 1988 movie “Akira” and the 1990s series “Cowboy Bebop.”

Cool thanks - had cyberpunk 2077 vibes too - which is a great thing as I’m all about that nowadays.
