| Damn that was pretty good, even after this episode has been hyped to no apparent end (Ex. "If you're really worried about whether you like cowboy bebop just watch episode 5." Heard that 1 million times haha, for the record I watch 1-5). Now I'm even more curious about his back-story, I want to know more about it. Spike definitely sustained some injuries from this episode.. I think I watched at least the end of this episode a long time ago, because I remember that Spike falling from a church window scene. I was probably watching it 2-3am in the morning as a kid haha. I never watched bebop all the way through, I can only remember watching 2-3 random episodes late at night and never the first episode.. |

| and he is alive! |

| so this is Cowboy Bebop... it freaking nice finally meeting this anime (4 first episode, where just fine, but this was awesome) |
| So now the anime kicks off right ? This episode TBH was pretty damn good. |
 |
| Ah, so that was what the first scene of the series as well as the ED were referencing to. |
 |
| Amazing episode! Finally some story progress. So Spike was part of a syndicate with Mao and Vicious was one of his comrades. I knew Vicious is voiced by Norio Wakomoto, but was really surprise how young he sounds compared to his usual deep voice :) I'm guessing Mao took Spike when he was young and no goal in life. Really hope we get to know more of Spike's past and why he quit the syndicate. Why did Anastesia though he was dead 3 years ago? I'm sure Vicious survived that blast :P Glad Faye and Jet saved him. Faye was just caring for Spike and he had to blew it! Can't wait for the next episode! Seems we're back to the usual bounty stuff. I'm guessing this is similar to Stand Alone Complex we're the bounty stuff are the "Stand Alone" episodes while the deep and story driven ones are the "Complex" episodes. |
| My god that episode was the best I've seen in an anime in a long time. Just the way they did the falling scene with Spike, and the music playing, with the flashbacks, just perfect, almost too perfect. I agree about Faye, she was fucking hot as hell in this episode, I had a boner the whole time lol. |
 |
| Pretty good ep. |
| Wow, the scene with spike falling was so beautiful. |
| Is this where i starts getting good? Because this was a great episode! I wonder if Vicious survived that explosion. That OST. |
| This episode....is probably my favorite episode....of any anime....of all time.... It's just a beautiful episode. |
 |
| "Drop your gun, if you don't comply.." Bang! That was pretty cool haha. When Spike was ran into that guy on the stairs, I was like, "And he's gonna kill this guy no problem and then... Oh shit, he actually got shot!" Hahaha. Idk how he survived that fall though š³ This episode only teased us a bit of Spikes past, but didn't go into any detail.. I wanna know more! :p |
Epic |
  |
| Ehh, this episode was alright. This series definitely isn't as amazing as everyone has said it is so far. It's interesting, and stylistic, but so far hasn't had any wow factor. The scene where he was falling with the flashes of his past was awesome and I'm curious to learn more about him, but the rest of the episode, along with most of the series up to this part, has been a complete bore fest. Gonna keep watching though since it looks like the story will actually pick up now |
| Definitely most interesting episode until now. Looking forward to Spike's past. |
 |
| The music and Spike's fall were done brilliantly. |
 |
| loved this episode the music/soundtrack fits very well , Faye is cool |
| Best episode so far! Really want to see more of Spike's past. Faye is always sexy whenever she is tied up XD |
 |
| I really like that song as Spike was falling. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I've never seen breast that well animated ! |
| The first episode in Cowboy Bebop where they introduce Spike's past. One of the best episode in the series. 5/5 |
 |
| He almost died already |
 |
| Finally got some insight into the opening scene from Session 1. Vicious, huh? Still need to find out more about that whole situation. Which I'm sure will come up near the end of the series. |
  |
| The emotional impact of the falling scene would have been so much greater had the show bothered spending a few episodes fleshing out Spike's past within the syndicate. Oh well, this episode was gorgeous regardless and I hope his past comes up again in later episodes, since he seems like quite the interesting character. |
| The musics.. Oh wow Pretty sure Vicious is still alive Also tsuntsun that much Faye? xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| When Spike fell and the music started playing and glimpses of his past were shown was perfect. Best episode so far. |
| The music was splendid. The falling scene was great too. |
 |
| I' was losing interest in the show, but this episode got it back. Hopefully the rest of the show is more like this and less like 1-4 |
| Finally starts to move the real plot. The narrative does regret the mediocrity that runs today. It is not nostalgia, but the facts. Directed, drawings, script and OST; everything is divine, including the characters. |
 |
| Really good episode. Blew the first 4 out of the water. The past few episodes made the series look like it might get a 7/10 but this episode bumped it up to a 9/10. Just hope the rest of the series is as good as this. |
  |
| AWESOME EPIC EPISODE !!!! |
 |
| I'm guessing there was a love triangle? We'll see. |
 |
the_real_L said: Di5es anyone know the name of the song when spike walked into the church?? Rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcrb6365GsQ&list=RDVcrb6365GsQ |
| Dem flash backs were really amazing I'm hooked on this anime I really wanna see how it will end and I wonder if Vicous died from the grenade. |
| Spike The Mummy <3 :) Nice flashback. Great episode overall. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This episode was awesome! Nice to find out some of Spike's past but not much, just tidbits of what he did before with Vicious. Vicious was really awesome and hot too! Shame he wanted to kill Spike though. I would've loved to have seen them team up again. Spike in all those bandages was funny! and Faye's reaction when he said she sung off key, totally got a crush, it's cute :3 <3 |

 |
| Wow, this episode was so stylish. |
 |
