| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh good episode... Lovely sax :) And a hermaphrodite O_O This show is undeniably weird... but good fun |
 |
| lol 'which one are you?' slightly disturbing, and how does Faye know Vicious, and Julia (?) |
| That's what I was wondering, I didn't know Faye knew Vicious' voice either. Good episode, I loved the song for the ending of the show. |

| The fight scene with Spyke remind me of Mugen's fight scene from Samurai Champloo. Now I can see a little bit Wanatabee's aura. |
| Hmm interesting episode. Really liked the sax playing, and the fighting scene with Spike~ And Gren is -weird-. "Which one are you?!" XD'' |
| This is one of my favorite series out of the entire show :D Don't know why, I just love it! |
| This episode and the next are just thick with atmosphere. Watanabe really is an amazing director. The fluidity of the "camera movement" in the fight scene and just about every other scene are pitch perfect. The fragility of the bonds between each member of Bebop are so cleverly brot to light. And Faye knows Vicious because he kidnapped her in episode 5. |
| Great episode, enjoyed the music. I'll have to get the soundtrack someday. nice faye scenes. great fight scenes too. Mr. Saxaphone was so hot, and interesting. can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| ...how weird. Moms have an uncanny ability to walk on children in the weirdest moments. My mom, for example, walked in when Gren was naked in the shower. Knowing her route of thinking and seeing how quickly she walked out, I can tell that she is now convinced that I watch 2D lesbian porn. xD |

O.o 5/5 |

| Interesting... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I have a friend just like spike. Mistaking him for someone he hate, he turn vicious. Episode was pretty suspenseful up until that saxophone guy or girl... whatever, was in the shower |
| Wonderful episode with great atmosphere and mood setting. The snowy world, coupled with the high number of dark palettes made for a cold and desolate atmosphere, while the awesome sax contrasted nicely with that, giving it a warm and mellow feel despite the huge amount of tension in the episode. The fight scene was pretty damn sick. Always nice to see Spike actually agitated, and then he gets shot again. Last scene with Gren was pretty jks too--if a bit awkward. It's worth mentioning that the dub for this show is very good. VA's emote just enough, and it doesn't come off as exaggerated or cheesy at all. |
 |
| Jupiter Jazz? Oh, hell, Yes! JU-Li-Us cracked me upxD |
| Boo: "Boo!" |
| Wait, what? What? A hermaphrodite? |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Whats wrong with a Herm? Open that close mind people. And then smack yourself until you remember this takes place in the fuuuuuutuuuuure. Fight scene rocked. The suspense rocked. The humour rocked. |

 |
| Fucking awesome |
 |
| Freaking great mood to this episode, and its starts an amazing arc. It's Spike's story so it can only be good. Spike kicked some serious ass this episode, mostly due to the fact of being mistaken by Vicious. The anger he has towards Vicious must be really great. I don't remember Lin, but it seems he worked under Spike in the past and now is with Vicious. Did Spike actually got shot? To Be Continued |
 |
| Great stuff, just everything in this episode worked well. The music with the Saxophone was something to be remembered and really added a lot to the atmosphere of the episode. Also, Bebop shows it's knack for creating interesting characters. This time in the form of Gren. |

| That was highly disturbing for me. Did any other chick think he was kinda hot until he had BOOBS? |
| Amazing episode. |
 |
| What a cool ending and love you Faye <3 |
 |
| When Ed falls on Ein...poor Ein. "I'm going to go look for my woman...you can go look for the other one." ooooo! "I'd rather hook up with a spiny armadillo!" Some days I feel that way too... But the ending! Aaah, cliffhanger! |

O.o 5/5 Hahaha Man I have no idea what my mom would think... Probably just ... oops my bad for walking in... And yeah I was wondering why no one was asking about that... episode ends with spike shot down... |
| Well this is a cool set-up for a two-parter... The planet that Spike found himself exploring is brooding in it's atmosphere, and the bar Faye goes to has some amazingly animated mood moments. There's some little hints towards a deeply important and mysterious person called Julia being revealed later, and the single short action scene in this film is a great one. It helps that the drama is splendidly written and the new characters are well-defined, too, and the return of Vicious instantly adds a tension to the proceeding. The last few moments of the episode raised a few too many important questions for a cliffhanger ending IMO, but it could easily lead to a spectacular wrap-up next time. Considering Cowboy Bebop's track record. 8.5/10 |
| Hugh....the shower thingy was quite disturbing |
 |
| Nice story buildup! But wtf was that ending O_O |
 |
| Uh... that shower scene was awkward. |
 |
| I remember watching this episode 6+ years ago when I was 15 or so, and I was super surprised and confused when Gren turned out to be a hermaphrodite. But now... things like that hardly bother me anymore. And the idea of having different body parts don't effect me as much and I applaud Cowboy Bebop to have a character like this in their midst. But at the same time shouldn't define a character or change your opinion on them either. |
 |
| Very awkward episode indeed. Love the saxophone music. |
| Faye is more trouble then shes worth it seems like, always running off with Spike and Jet's money/fuel. The shower scene was uh...weird? I hope that wasnt supposed to be Julia... |
My Candies:     |
| I thought it was funny when the guy in the bar didn't think Jet was a bounty hunter. |
| First nudity in Bebop? Why wasn't there any blood around Spike after he was shot? Maybe he wasn't hit? Hmm. |

| It might be a little early to make this assumption, but I get the feeling that Gren is Julia. Some episode awhile back had a bounty who got surgery to change his face. |

| so even in Cowboy Bebop there's a futanari... damn who knows maybe this is where it all started. |
 |
| Spike's fluffy coat probably saved him. It's just too poofy. |
| Two parts? That's cool. A nice little cliffhanger :) |
 |
| Weeew, Jet had a hissy fit like a teenage girl, that was cute. AND AWW YEAH, MORE SPIKE BACKSTORY AND SPIKE KICKING ASS |
