If you can, find someone who knows you and knows the episodes. They vary a lot in tone and there are a seasons worth of them, so there's no point in just diving into it and watching a lot of stuff that doesn't appeal to you when an educated opinion could net you all the Mars episodes and find you the episodes that will most appeal to your taste. But Cowboy Bebop exists on an order of quality above the vast vast majority of anime, particularly all the televised ones.
As a source for your campaign, the elements you might pick up are:
-a ruined earth surrounded by a cloud of wrecked moon bits
-neat effects for tunnels through space that connect the planets of the solar system
-A Mars of the normal red dust with vast cities/ecosystems created and sheltered within giant crater type things. There's this neat bit of irony that the seas in the craters actually make the martian humans pretty water based despite the desert.
-Mars as the haven for vastly powerful and wideranging criminal synidcates.
Some of the other planets might also have stuff you want to pick up on, there are some neat flashbacks of warfare on one of Jupiter's moons for instance.
