What significance does the number 26 have in anime?

...they can't really do more Bebop, considering the end of the series. I would prefer no more Bebop over cramming 26 new episodes into the already existing ones.

right, bebop anime is just finished and they should leave it like that.

they could make more trigun though, but I think u then get the same effect as with dbz after frieza saga, if u know what I mean,
but, they still could make a movie for trigun like they did with bebop.
