Finally a great ending, I didn't like this show but I have to say that this ending is really breathtaking.
The final ending theme was excellent and feet very well with Spyke's story.
The fight scenes were also excellent especially the scene where they exchange their weapon.

yeah, like everyone else i think it had a perfect ending. didn't care much for the random missions and was wondering why everyone loved this so much but the last 2 episodes totally made me believe that Cowboy Bebop was the real deal. From the tiger story with the last meal, to the fortune teller, to the one eye revelation, to faye's crying, and the "Bang" at the end were all so masterminded that it became a work of art. That was such a fantastic buildup that I wish every director/writer learned from this. He knew how to set it up. So much drama, emotions, and great dialogue really makes this series a classic.

What is there not to love?
Nothing.

;(Amazing show. The ending broke my heart a bit, but oh well great series.
10/10<3

This was definitely the most amazing anime I've seen, although I sort of agree with fudgy. The ending broke my heart a bit - but that only proves that the directors did a fantastic job. ;D Really pulled the audience in. Loved iiiit. Everything about this episode was <3

10/10, without question.

See you space cowboy...

Truly one of the best anime endings I have ever seen.

Cowboy Bebop to me was like watching a really good movie.
Truly anime of the highest caliber.

You're going to carry that weight...

Before this episode I was gonna give this series a 9. But this shit was just heavy...
I'd be lying to myself If I gave this anything less than a perfect score.

I can't belive It's over. Cowboy Bebop is realy over..... Shit.
Great Anime!

Thank you. Mind if I repost that on my Youtube video showing the ending?

Lol, go ahead. Post the lyrics of the end credits song too, just to ram it home further.

Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream you know
That's never ending
I'm ascending HINT HINT

And so the circle ends. Probably the best episode of Cowboy Bebop, and certainly on my top 5.

Breathtaking. I put off watching Bebop for so long and I didn't know what the fuss was about when it first came out. But as I watched the final moments of #26 ("Bang!") I found myself tearing up.

This show just has a way of getting to you.

I kinda disagree with those comments about how there were these random missions before the climatic last episodes. The way I see it, every episode worked in a subtle way to establish the story of Spike's past, even if only metaphorically. Remember "Toys in the Attic" and Spike's lesson for us in it? "Never leave things in the fridge"... because they basically eventually come back and haunt/kill you. Isn't that just what Spike's past did to him in the very end? For the longest time he put his past on hold but when he was finally forced to confront his ties to the syndicate, it costs him his life. Sad, but brilliant.

Holy Fucking Shit

Damn, great series! And to think I wanted to drop the series because I didn't like the first episode xD
Spike's dead but that just fits the ending of a truly great series.

No matter what people say he's definitely dead. Did any one see his star fade out at the end?

Amazing ending! Though one thing bugs me... what happens to Faye?

one of the most beautiful animes ever made, and the last episode just topped it all off.
i loved the fact that Jet used to always tell Spike stories, and in the last episode Spike told Jet one instead. It made me so sad, when i realised that the cats he was talking about were him and Julia.
...and then the tabby met a beautiful white cat, and lived with her until she died. Then, finally, the tabby died too.

I know I'll get criticized for this, but I still feel like something is missing.

The ending was very explosive and emotional, and I loved every second of it, but it feels like they did everything in the shortest amount of time possible. By the end of the episode, I really had to think hard about all the stuff that just happened. It's a lot to take in. Not that that's a bad thing, but maybe they went a little too fast. They could have definitely made the Spike and Vicious fight a bit longer.

Anyway, I wanted more backstory. I'm curious to see how Jet and Spike first met, and all the dirt on the syndicate with Vicious and Spike fighting side by side. Basically, they told us a lot with this ending, but didn't explain much, and that bugs me.

Lastly, I would have preferred more closure. Like some people have mentioned in this thread, what happens to Faye? Maybe a final discussion with Jet and Faye would have been cool. And I really liked Ed and wanted to see both Ed and Ein in the finale, even if it was just for a minute to show them with Ed's dad.

But it's all just nitpicking. This two-part ending had me at the edge of my seat, and I loved it. For the anime as a whole, it was...hmm, interesting. It's the exception for episodic plots (for people who don't like them) and there were some very strong episodes in the bunch. But there were some noticeably weak ones too. The characters were top notch and I loved each one of them. For the whole thing, I'd say 8.6/10

it would of been awsome if he decided to go with faye and jet and not go back to try to kill vicous that would of been an awsome ending.

they had to do the final hollywood showdown though.


he should of gave us the machine gun sound effects right before they cut to the credits just to shove it down are throats there ending.

Uh, isnt the Hollywood ending: happily ever after?

Why would Spike go with Faye and Jet? How would that make any sense at all? The dude's woman, his entire reason for existing, just got killed by his nemesis. He's not gonna act like nothing happened.

THINK MCFLY! THINK!

well by hollywood i meant the good guy usually trys to kill the bad guy. it would be non hollywood if he decided to stay with his friends in the bebop. julia had a chance to go with spike but she decided not to 3 years ago. she was killed, annie was killed, he should of just went with his real friends on the bebop let the pass be the pass as jet was saying
