| well what can I say aside from this being a great first episode.. I found those 3 old dudes funny! "see you space cowboy".. so this is where it's from.. I didn't know |
 |
| That was a great episode. I've been meaning to watch this for years. I saw episodes on Adult Swim when I was a kid but I can't remember half of the ones I watched. Spike seems like a cool guy, I think I will like this show. See you space cowboy. |

Beatnik said: This is the episode that represents everything Cowboy Bebop is about, therefore its perfect as the first of the series. Action, humour, tragedy, perfect. |
 |
| Oh My GOD, that OST. |
| Wow, I'm loving the opening to this show, snazzy af. This was a dramatic and at the same time great first episode, I'm loving spikes personality/attitude.  |
| The first scene seemed abrupt, but I guess for now the rose does tie a bit with the ED. It completely escaped my mind that this show was going to be episodic and have standalone episodes. |
 |
| Watching this series first time on BD by Funimation. I could definitely see why the release is kinda let a down. Some scenes aren't BD and it felt like it was from DVD. I read the JPN BD's are better which i have also :) Starters, love the opening music. I really love Yoko Kanno's composition, especially Darker Than Black, but this series is full of jazz and style which i like it! I'm also watching in Japanese and it's much better. Spike sounds much more mature and you can feel he has been smoking a lot. Plus Yamadera-san is a veteran there's a reason why he won an award for his performance here :) Jet sounds old and badass!! Hearing him as Unsho Ishizuka as Old Joseph from Stardust Crusaders and the new Heihachi in Tekken Tag 2. He really fits the old archetype besides Otsuka Akio :) Good start. Let's see how this series lives up to the tremendous hype in the west. |
| Cool start, already like spike a lot. Also the OP is just pure awesomeness |

| Ive watched a lot of anime butthis is my first time watching this series! Looks like im in for a ide!! :) |
| I've been meaning to watch this for a while. Time to see what all the hype is about. I hope it doesn't disappoint. The English dub is fantastic! Fucking fantastic! It's nice to have a break from all the subs I watch. Haven't seen a English dub in a while. I wonder what that very short intro was about. I hope we get more of that of whatever happened. Pretty good start. I thoght that girl was pregnant but it was just bullets. lol Not sure if I like the OP but I really like that ED. Very nice. Let's see where this goes. I think I'm going to like this. |
| Well, finally I'm able to start watch Cowboy Bepop. Wanted to watch it for so long, but didn't. Music is greatttt, art is interesting, main character looks amazing, I've got a feeling it will be a great series :) |
| "Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world out there, that lives outside of ourselves and our dreams." |
| I saw a tribute/variation of this OP with a different theme a few weeks ago and thought the style was pretty great, and it was even better here :) Bebop has it's own really unique style, so I'm really liking the change of pace. The fight cinematography was awesome, and so is Spike. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the cast being introduced! |
| Such a cool soundtrack and good animation. Great start! |
  |
| Interesting first ep, have high hopes for this. |
| Geez, some people just love pointing out random holes on the first episode. Development? It's an episodic anime. And not all anime go into a 5 minute intro on what their world is like. The rest of the anime is supposed to integrate that for this case. Anyways, I thought it was a great start to the anime. |
 |
| I liked it. Sad ending. People getting stopped on their search for a better life is always tragic to me. |
 |
| Ok first episode. Spike was cool. Ending wasn't quite what I expected but I still liked it. |
 |
| Nice action so far! |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Finally decided to give it a go. It was quite an impressive beginning, however I can't help saying that it's only from the perspective of the skin. I'll watch more to see whether the core is also as impressive. |
| A great start for ta great series. It doesn't take time for Bebop to establish it's style. 5/5 |
 |
| Fairly good first episode. Great animation. |
 |
| Cool intro episode to the series. I wonder what the rose/blood opening was all about. Was that in the future? |
  |
| Real good start to the series and I really liked the music in the series. |

| Man he was really trippin on those drugs lol Decent start of the series, could have introduced the characters in a more interesting way, though. |
| I didn't want this lady to die she was so pretty and I felt sorry for her |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
TheGhostAssassin said: Just started this. Loving the style and atmosphere. The soundtrack is fantastic! The soundtrack is gold. You can get many good stuff out of it. Don't gorget to listen to it after you finish the show. |

| Soooo... 1) I think he is going to die in the end, as in the beginning they showed him with a grenade and that old dude told him so. 2) It's been a long time since I've seen such a great first opening 3) SPIKE!!! New husbando. the internet is reight, he is full of swag <3 |
 |
| The only question I have is, why I had not seen this series before? Great!! |
  |
| Just finished watching epiosde 1 and i'm really liking the music they use in this show |

| The beginning is enigmatic, but I already know that during the anime series, sooner or later will win the solution to this mystery. Narration pretty raw and somewhat funny lines, the characters are a whole program; designs, backdrops and excellent animation, ditto the OST. Reviewing this anime, it provokes in me memories of the fabulous' 90s and beyond. |
 |
| i wish women were drawn like this in modern anime because they look so much more realistic and attractive in my opinion |
 |
| Very cool start I'm enjoy the story of cowboy Bebop episode 1 |
 |
| 5/5 Best Moments: -ofc the OP song is amazing -That fight scene was really cool! -Finding out the woman wasn't pregnant?! -How Spike was given a cigarette at the end- The Best! |
 |
| It was a nice start, i just didn't like the OP. |
| This was one of those anime that was stuck in my PTW list for ages, finally picked this up. I might say I'm a bit disappointed, but let's judge later after few episodes. The OP was fantastic and catchy tho! |
 |
| Amazing animation amazing story amazing character everything is special about this anime I'm going to love this anime and have high hopes for it. |
| Finally decided to give this a try after being in my ptw list for like 4 years. What I can say for right now: I really like the jazz soundtrack, especially the opening. The directing in the action scenes was quite nice and I like the overall style. I may have wished for a better character introduction, but I`m all in all excited to watch more of it. |
| Is this gonna be episodic? Wonder what the first sequence was about. |
| This is my second time trying to finish the series. I hope that this fime I will finish it. Nice music and animation. |
| "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." |
| I actually started this years ago on DVD when there were 4 episodes on a disc and they cost £20 each and ended up giving up buying it half way through since it was so expensive! Gave up on a lot back then. I did actually buy it again on bluray and DVD the other year but never got around to it then started recording it off TV this time LOL! The first episode still holds up and is an incredible ride!!! I adored it! The characters and premise are set up beautifully and already a ton of action! I love Spike Spiegel <3 |
 |
| Rewatching this masterpiece. I didn't remember that this anime was so good! |
