| Knew they'd get back together but thought Spike would get the bounty.. Seems better this way though because it shows Jet is accepting either way... He just wants his friend back. |
| I KNEW Cowboy Bebop would make this two-parter truly spectacular! Ridiculously deep histories are given to brand new characters that all link to the protagonists in really meaningful ways; the two-parter can stand up on it's own, yet adds more to the overall storyline by hinting to a dark past that Spike is hiding; the tension slowly mounts until it reaches a standoff that results in an all-out dogfight sequence, which is tightly directed and exciting throughout; and it all ends on an extremely emotional note that links back to the seemingly out-of-place opening of the first episode. And the power of this two-parter is only ever increased when a beautiful new song introduces the credits, and when a question that directly quotes the episode ends it. 9.5/10 |

| Great episode some more back story on spike and this Julia person I do wonder if he'll ever find her! Lets hope that the writers put another arc for her in the anime somewhere! This 2 parted episode was quite lovely with story development! We're also now in 50% of the Anime so lets see what the second half has to offer! |
 |
| Loved that ending song. |
| Great two part episode. Amazing story telling. |
 |
| Best episode so far, the way the past is slowly revealed, how the characters' stories wrap up with each other, and that ending was just beautiful, the scene with the Bull talking about the star was amazing now that it made sense. |
 |
| Ending song was beautifulll i wish they cared a bit more about faye though :^( THAT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY REF THOUGH FOR THE NEXT EPISODE |
| This was a great arc. Now I'm very interested in Julia and her relationship with Skipe. I hope we can hear more about her in the future episodes. |

| I love the chemistry between the main cast. Jet used the excuse that Faye had stolen a lot of their money as a reason for finding her, but you could see that Jet genuinely cared about her and wanted her back. |
 |
| I can see that Faye's a little jelly. Jet and Spike should care more for babe like her. I feel bad for Gren, he is going to die a lonely death. ): |

| That was an unexpected turn of events indeed. The words of the Native American-esque man at the end was so much more touching knowing who he was referring to. Very sad. The ending theme was truly gorgeous. |

| Now I really wanna meet Julia. |
| Julia needs to show her ass now and do some talking because until then I will consider her as a slutty bitch. |
 |
| So Spike's fluffy coat didn't save him, but it was just a tranquilizer. I really like the background music for this episode. Well, all the episodes have great sounds, but I hadn't really paid much attention till now. |
| Beautiful. It had it all. Hands down 5/5. Hope we'll see Julia eventually. And Faye seemed really deep in thought. She may be a tad more serious from now on. xD |
 |
 Wasn't there footprints last time? O'well. |
| That ending was just beautiful. |
| rewatching cowboy bebop and man episode 12-13 are one of the many reasons why it is a 10 just perfect episodes and one of watanabe's best. |

| Wow... I don't think there are even words to describe how much i loved this arc... Now we just need to find out what exactly happened in Spike's past |
| Wow amazing episode! Lots of twist, action, suspense and dark atmosphere! So Gren was really man who had a sickness of low testosterone. Still doesn't explain how he develop boobs on it :P And wow, he was just using Julia's name as a cover up. So let me get this straight. Gren and Vicious used to be war buddies a long time ago. Then out of nowhere Vicious backstabs Gren and framing him as a spy just because he was only interested with the musical piece he heard. Then sometime after the war, Vicious met Spike and that's how they became buddies until Vicious backstabs Spike once more. So not only Vicious backstabs two close friends who are there to help him, but also leaves out that Lin guy despite him protecting in death. I'm actually surprise Spike and Gren didn't knew each other. Then again, Gren did serve time in jail due to Vicious. Still how did Gren met Juilia? Same thing with Spike? I'm just glad Faye is finally back on the team! Never leave again Faye :P Lots of answers revealed, but more questions keep piling up! Amazing stuff! Though it seems we're back to "Stand Alone" episodes aka Bounty stuff once more. Can't wait for the next episode though! |
| Great episode. Best one so far. That OST at the end was amazing. |
| I hope we meet Julia at some point. So Gren is a guy. He just has boobs from some drug they gave him when he was in prison. At least he died peacefully. |
| That ending... beautiful... |

brandis said: So Grim got transplants in order to fool Vicious... I feel like he could have cross dressed without having to go to that extent. Heck why even go that far, just dress up like an old guy with glasses. W/e. Gren didn't get transplants... He explained in the last episode, how he became a drug addict while in prison and that it destroyed his hormonal balance. Thus, the boobies. Feniksrises said: Been watching anime for a while now. Sure I began with Cowboy Bebop but something happened in my life and I dropped it 10 episodes in. Heresy I know so I picked it up after all these years. Not a heresy. You need to be in the right mindset to fully enjoy some works. First time, I tried to marathon Cowboy Bebop, didn't work out that well. Now I know better, and I'm loving it. Feniksrises said: Might CB dethrone Legend of the Galactic Heroes as my favourite anime? We'll see. Bit of a stretch imo. But there's no real point in comparing the two. One is a long-runner that prides itself in its rich setting, strong MCs and political plots (and classical music during space battles :p), and the other is an episodic anime, quite experimental in the way that it constantly switches genres and ambiances. This was an awesome pair of episode. Faye finally getting a bit of depth behind her bitchy character, although she should really stop stabbing Jet and Spike in the back. Seems like Julia was with both Vicious and Spike at the time and she left after their conflict because she couldn't choose. At least that's how I interpreted these flashbacks. |

| Hmm, we still don't know much about Spike's past. Well, still got another 13 episodes to go. |
| They always play the best OSTs |
 |
| It was a great 2 episodes. Really loved the style. Had a big stupid grin on my face when he let Spike back in at the end. I love Space dramas. Just so macroscopic, that it makes you feel small but at the same time makes conflicts even more beautiful in a way. |
 |
| Intense episode. That conclusion was beautiful. |
 |
| love that ending song. |

| Very stylish and very epic! Ending was sad ;_; also great ED! 5/5 |
 |
| Nice end to the arc, loved the music this episode. |
 |
| Very nice ending to the first cour. I kept trying to distinguish two different eye colors, and I just couldn't. Am I missing something? Spike is so dreamy for an anime character. That face tho. |

Xowlreed said: Nice episodes. What about that thing: "The work, which becomes a new genres itself, will be called... Cowboy Bebop". Ok, ok, I gotta admit: considering the age of this show, it is pretty awesome but aren't they bragging too much? Yeah as far as i know the director admitted that statement was kinda over exaggerated at a later stage. |
| FIND SOME TIME TO DO SOME THINGS |
| F*ck I meant to give the first part 4/5 and this one 5/5 got the eps confused smh. Anyways great episode, liked the change of ED for the end of this little arc. |
| I don't know how it's so captivating about how they present the characters, situations, story, etc. But it really hooks the viewer in. The past episode and this episode were truly amazing. Gren was a side character but he/she became very memorable in all the screen time over the span of two episodes. All while still keeping the mysteries behind Spike, Vicious, and Julia. Man why haven't I started this sooner. |
 |
| Just beautiful piece of episode. The music was just stunning. Now I know why people like it so much. |
