I guess so. When you get used to voices you find it diffiult to adjust to different voices. I thought Ed's English voice suited her character.

Ed's voice is sexy, and that's that.

Also, does anyone know when the final episode will air next on cartoon network? I've never seen that one.

Well, they just re-started the show's run, Fishy, so I guess you're SOL. Either that, or you create a time machine and go back to last Thursday. Or "acquire" it.

Jeff, the next showing of "The Real Folk Blues part 2" should be on Sunday, February 22nd, assuming that they don't change the line up between then and now.

I think I have that same problem Kryten...  Alas for you fishy, the last episode is great.

Actually, the movie is the only one I've ever watched subbed, but I agree with wukong, they did a great job dubbing the show and I like those voices, but from seeing the movie I also kind of like the Japanese voices as well....  Especially hearing Ed say "Faye Faye!!!"...  :rolleyes:

I agree, Jupitar Jazz Part 1 and 2 are some decent episodes. We get to see some footage on Titan and we know a little bit more about Vicious.

As is the music that goes with it.

It sets up the whole "Jupiter Jazz"/"Real Folk Blues" thing too.

And they still manage to go out on a joke:

"You sing off-key."   :D

Son of a fucking &@$&%@*. Oh well, I guess waiting another month isn't so bad.

Judging by the descriptions here, I think it was the very end of Ballad of Fallen Angels that first hooked me. I didn't see the whole episode, but the last few minutes were cool enough to get me to watch a few more episodes here and there. And then I rented the movie, and declared myself an official fan.

Has the show been released on DVD? Or do I have to go on a big downloadin' run, to catch everything I missed?

A few months later, and I own that sexy DVD set. Man, that show just kept getting better and better. I think Pierre La-whatever(the amusement park episode) and Brain Scratch are two of my favorite stand-alone episodes. But of course all of the Vicious episodes are classics.

I love this show, its just different than so many other shows, and has  just insanely awesome storylines.  There is no way you cant like an episode of it, but I have yet to see the movie, so i still need to see that..It makes me sad that a show like that would ever end, but its an important part of the show itself.  It really got me thinking about it and into it when I watched it, instead of just staring at the tv mind numbingly like it really got me to think about it.  when a show does that, and only really really rarely, then I am hooked on it right away and ill never stop watching it.  The music always fits the scenes perfectly everything is almost flawless.  why didnt that show win any awards?!  I give it my award, which I dont have in the first place, but if i did id give it to bebop.   I MISS that show so bad, * huge ass sigh*

Dub V. Sub:  With most shows I watch both for the specific reason of seeing the different kind of edge the respective voice talent play to the character.  To be honest, I think the Bebop dub is supperior to the original Japanese.  While the japanese characters came out more like ambivalent irrerverant drifters, the american actors delivered characters that had a greater feeling and depth of who they were, more like dreamers, desperate for the next big thing.  I could go on and on about my feelings regarding translation, but I think it's put best by John Cardi in his introduction to Dante's Inferno...Which I can't seem to find on google.   :mad:

I've only watched Bebop with the dub so far, I will get round to watching it with the original sound, just not yet.
I found the dub pretty good, but I read on another forum that the dubs are getting better these days, and I totally agree with that (when compared to old skool kung fu films that is).

A brilliant series though, the first anime series I bought and subsequently got me into this 'anime thing'

Also, the dub has Wendee Lee.   :love:

If I'm not mistaken, the episode is called "Toys in the Attic". One of my favorites too, as well as "My Funny Valentine" and "Jupiter Jazz".

I'll go with the climax.  There's nothing quite like that scene when Spike cuts through all of Faye's faux-apathy and tells her "Look at my eyes."

Great, all your episode talk makes me want to watch it again.  I don't own a copy!  On that note, I wish another box set would be released.  Not some limited edition one, one everyone could buy.  I'd rather buy them all at once, since most stores around here don't have all the individual ones stocked at the same time.

Pitt, that scene is very dramatic and all...
But I just can't love it.
It's inspired so many Spike x Faye stories, I could just.. Grr. Ruined the moment, for me.
They have a certain.. interesting relationship, for sure. But mutual romantic love, it's not.
Oh well.. : sigh : Whatever the fans do to them, everyone on that show is interesting and well thought out, which is hard to say for many shows. Even background characters have distinct flavor.. It's all in all a very memorable programme.

Cowboy Bebop was the best Anime in my opinion... until there came along "Ghost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex" and shuffled all the cards. Movie-quality, the best climax I've ever seen in a show (on ep. 25. season finale 26 was a poor execuse to make the show continue to run). It had one of the best plots ever... I dont know how the english acting is (seen it in Japanese with english subs, just like Bebop) - but if they haven't ruined the plot with the translation, it should be an amazing thing to watch.. and as far as I understand its now being braodcasted also in the US... (2nd season currently running in Japan).
I know it has nothing to do with Cowboy Bebop, but CB fans would defenitly want to see this!!

VT, the youngest Shaft brother, the shifty guy in the casino who looked like Spike, Andy, the guy with a thing for Eels, Woody Allen ripoff guy.. Bebop has to have the best supporting character lineup in anime history. Even in classics like Lupin III, there was a very fleeting focus on anyone who wasn't in the main cast. All that colorful backdrop makes Bebop very real.

VT!!! Forgot about her,damn how did that happen?? You know I LOATHE heavy metal with a passion, but I loved that episode...which says a lot about both Bebop and Yoko Kanno's musical sense. They didn't just come up with good stand alone episodes, they even wrapped each of them in a specific music genre and made it work, too. I never really cared for jazz or blues at all but Bebop trancends my distaste for some music genres, even made me change my mind about some of them.

I agree with David A. and Nerdlingus that dubs have gotten much better lately, but if you think about it they would really have had to s#$%w up bad to actually get much worse. I liked both versions of Bebop,with maybe a small preference for the dub(Edward is great in the dub!),but from what I remember of the commentary from the director and such I think the original japanese cast pretty much were more in line with what the director intended for them character-wise. I think the dub interpretations work just as well or better myself though. They are both good.

Bebop's un-toonamied English dub is great in my opinion, all the characters have the perfect English voice actors for them. Heavy Metal kinda fizzled out in the end. Still, we saw a Woody Allen lookalike so that payed for it.

Exactly what I was thinking.  Faye may have loved Spike, but Spike only loved Julia the whole time.  I know it's tragic, but had she been honest with him earlier, she may have saved herself the pain, but because she could only play tough, she ended up in tears.  Spike's feelings about Faye will always be a mystery, only thing certain is that he wanted to be with Julia.

The prophecy only said he would be chased by a woman, not that he would chase back.

Speak like a child is a damn good one.  Anything that includes Folklore in the storylne is all stars for me.  Urashima Taro, AND the Tortise and the Hare are both used ingeniously in this episode.  Not to mention the heart-crushing ending.

Also in this episode, Sherry Lynn provides the voice of a younger version of a Wendee Lee character, thus paying her back for taking over the role of Kiyone.

I finally got to see the Bebop movie.  I loved it.  It's probably the best anime movie I've seen since Mononoke-hime.

The voice acting in the dub was excellent, as usual; although it was a little strange to hear Jennifer Hale's voice coming out of a Bebop character.

I think I missed Cowboy Andy's cameo, though.  I guess I'll have to watch the movie again and remember to watch for him this time.

I didn't know there was a Cowboy Andy cameo in the film.  In cannon, though, shouldn't Andy be the samurai now, and not a cowboy?  After all, Knockin' on Heaven's Door takes place after Cowboy Funk.

Yeah! I remember the american producers on the Cowboy Bebop dvd being pretty vague as to where the movie fits in the timeline.

...also, where does Cowboy Andy show up? I must have missed that.
