Is Cowboy Bebop a cyberpunk anime?

I mean, considering all the high tech and low life.
Weak governments.
Corrupt governmets.
Gang controlled worlds.
Rife criminality.
And so on...

It's an episodic space noir.

Cyberpunk is sci-fi noir

It can still be cyberpunk and that.

No.

Bebop is a space western

Yes.

Barely, the only thematic element was Big Shot.

If the story was told differently I suppose it could be. It doesn't have enough drugs, overboard bureaucracy, dirt, and general hopeless rebellion against the perverted corrupt world for me to call is cyberpunk, but you could tell a story involving that stuff in the bebop universe.

So, almost.
But they're too free?
