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.

Originally posted by evan: Well, they just re-started the show's run, Fishy, so I guess you're SOL. 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?

And the violence! And Faye's Boobs. But mainly the violence.

I love the Pierre La Fou one as well, shows how Spike doesn't really care about Death.

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*

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' A favorite episode is the one where Spike leaves that lobster in the fridge for a year

Toy's in the Attic is a classic. Jet's lesson is one of the most important of all.

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.

I love Bebop's background characters, Abdul Hakeem is one of the best.

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.

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.
