Cowboy Bebop is what kicked it off for me. Outlaw Star was a lot of fun, but coulda used more cowboy style shit on the soundtrack. Watching Space Dandy now and while it's not quite a space western, it's pretty fun to me.

Anything else I should check out?

    Trigun is the last anime space western from that era. There’s a remake that’s pretty good and probably holds up better, although it misses out on the slow burn setup of the original.

    Maybe give the original a shot and if it doesn’t work out try the remake ( Trigun Stampede)?

    Edit: After that it's hard sci-fi stuff like Planetes or Mil Sci-fi like Votoms or Fang of the Sun Dougram I guess
