First of all, I cannot believe that tape is still playable after what Spike did to it. Secondly, they should have traced the sender, I wonder who it might be.

Somewhat emotional episode.
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

lol i thought that too but i've never had a betamax tape before so i wouldn't know how much sturdier it would be or not to a vhs.

It was a funny and heart sweet episode i love this series :)

Great episode. Loved the part where Older version of Faye says "Well, knowing me, I'm sure I am troubling a lot of different people." True story.
True

Do you think the other are interested in knowing her past?

This episode was really great. It was touching and a revelation but it also had some comedy. Interesting how they eased in on it by showing what Faye does over the course of the episode and then at the end. I had a feeling Faye would pretend to leave, but then stay and watch secretly.

As much as the young version of herself is quite different from now, I can still see how they are the same. I felt sorry for her because she couldn't remember.

Such an amazing episode.
The comedy has me laughing non stop.
After such an epic quest across the galaxy...they come home.
With the wrong god damn thing.

And then it's tense. Sad. Depressing even. Perfect mixture.

Great episode filled with a balanced mix of comedy and later melancholy. The ending really blindsided me. Somehow, seeing the innocent 20th century Faye cheer her current self on like that just really made me sad.

Man Spike can be so blunt sometimes! I'm sure if the guy wasn't there Spike would end up destroying the VHS store!

The message in the tape feels so nostalgic and melancholic... it gave a great ending to an overall fun episode.

And lol at Ein answering the phone :D

See You Space Cowboy...

Such a good episode over all, it was just to bad Fey ran off in the beginning. It was nice to see a bit more of Fey's past added to the series, even though it wasn't much, or anything important really it was a good add. Was kind of sad she couldn't remember any of that though.

I like how, if they had listened to the tech fanatic, Spike and Jet might have known which player to grab…since he said beta is smaller and all.

Found the ending and the contrast of “don’t lose me” and “I can’t remember” disheartening.

Decent episode, even though the plot felt a bit ridiculous at some points (especially the climbing through the abandoned museum to get to the players…they were going to slide 400+ feet down the elevator shaft---really?). I hope it is revealed later on who is sending the stuff to Faye…

It would be really sad to see a younger version of myself that was almost a hundred years ago cheering me on and now being able to remember it... I'm impressed that it was shipped that long.

such a cute, yet sad episode. I love how this anime shows us clips from the Character's pasts but we still have so many questions after. I can't wait to finish and see what happens!

Damn, now I'm so curious about Faye's past! I hope that they will say something more, at least from what country is she from. I would vote for Japan, but then I started to think about language and then I started to be confused because it's anime and they all speak Japanese anyway... Ah, whatever.
I loved the whole thing with video tapes. I miss them somehow now too, my VHS is kind of broken :(
My favorite episode so far :) Though I really like all of them :P

Most of the episode was just a fun adventure romp, with some entertaining exploration to find out the big mystery of what was on Faye's tape. But when we finally saw what's on it... BIG emotional payoff in good way for Faye's character.Great episode. 8.5/10

It was an okay episode.
Some funny parts that left you wanting to know more about Faye's past that she can't remember.

I have VHS impacted my childhood. But the battle between Betamax and VHS was before my time. It's funny to think DVDs are older compared to Blu-ray. Man, I'm going to start feeling old once I start to know someone who that never owned a VHS...

The preview for this lied. It WAS as interesting as it seemed at first.
A nice Faye episode. There's no way they can't explain where the tape and beta came from.

Wow...yeah, favorite ep so far.

It was great to see Faye in the present finally show some genuine vulnerability; was rather emotional in my opinion. I can't imagine the emotions going through her, knowing that the girl she's watching is truly herself but feeling as though she's watching a complete stranger due to her lost memories. The difference between her two personalities is what hit me the hardest though. She used to be adorable; so innocent, so carefree, so pure.

Stupid Spike,
I thought he ruined videotape at first.
Then he kicked the video cassette player.What did he say in his defence?"It usually works out,when I kick."

Nice episode, way better than the last one. The ending scene was sadder to me than what was probably intended.
