| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, I forgot how insane Mad Pierrot was. His English dubbed laugh is very impressive to say the least - it sets the mood for the episode perfectly. |
| This is the best one. No, I'm not talking about the best episode from the anime, it's the best episode ever made, period. |

| Lol that episode was... great. Scary funfair trick always works. And Mad Pierrot was a cool enemy, but he reminded me of someone from another anime, can't remember who. |
 |
| holy shit, that must have been the most creepy thing i've ever watched. i've always hated theme parks. can't deny it was a brilliant episode though ; ) |
| I was ever so slightly creeped out at the end, when Pierrot was crying for his mother. It sent a chill down my spine, which is an achievement, let me tell you. |
| Your search on "Oran Solus" returned the following quotes: "Oran Solus? I know him. What a wanker. He still owes me a tenner." Oscar Wilde "Oran, you're so intelligent and awesome <3" Bakayaro "Oran's sexy." LolitaDecay "Oran is a sophisticated penguin." Drybananna "Oran is a Hand-Eye you faggots." EddieSpaghetti "Oran for Prime Minister." the_prime_one "Oran is all that is stated in his sig and more." orbitzz |

| Wow O_O, pretty exciting episode even though slightly messed up definitely interesting. |
| Just now I saw the best episode i've seen this year yet. |

| initial reaction: WTF awesome ep though. creepy villains are the best |
"Father yearned for yesterday. You yearn for today. I yearn for tomorrow." -Lelouch |
| That guy freaked the hell out of me! |
| No sig :( |
| Absolutely amazing episode, the best one yet. And yet, I think it's one of my favorite episodes ever. Art was amazing, it was creepy, action-packed, it has everything I love, and the execution is simply superb. I also like the fact they didn't revealed much past about Pierrot, like when Jet calls Spike. Best moments was the first fight, and after Pierrot got hit, which is a really creepy yet at the same time kind of pitiful experience to watch. |

| Awesome and fantasitc episode! Best one so far iny my view...The whole character of Pierrot was great and then the way they set the whole thing up with the music and stuff. Brilliant. =) |
| Very different from all of the other episodes. Really creepy aura about it. All in all, great episode. |
Speed Kills, Strength Punishes. |
| Amazing episode. You can tell from here that they tried to do a lot of different things with this anime. The next episode preview was hilarious. |
Earth gets angry after a kick in the face. |
| Pierrot...was....insaine, but still afraid of kitty-cats. xD but it was a very awesome fighting action-ny type episode overall. |
     |
| That was incredibly fucked up in an awesome way! |
| Awesome episode, love this creepy setting and those flashbacks were frigging disturbing. I feel sorry for him O: favorite episode so far. |
| For the first time I felt really sorry for any cartoon/anime character. Seriously. The moment when he started crying and fell to the ground calling his mother... *sniff* |
     |
| I liked when Faye said Hi |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

| Woah now that was effin freaky >:} That just pushed the score to 10 for me XD |
| This episode seemed like filler to me, or an excuse for a gunfight. It just seemed really weird with me and like its only purpose was to creep you out and screw with you mind. It did, but it just seemed out of place. I also noticed that the animation was different in this one. Seemed less circa 90s and more circa the 2000s. Didn't like that. Luckily by the looks of the episode preview, it's going back to the 90s look. |
| That episode cracked me up. 8/10 |
| Boo: "Boo!" |

| Boo: "Boo!" |
| this episode should be watched during Halloween... very creepy at the end. |
 |
| I must say, the animation for this episode was quite brilliant. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
_Me_ said: Freaky. This, one of freakiest episode. |
| The animation was beautiful. The fights were so smooth. The atomosphere was truly haunting. And that laugh.....-shudders- |
| That was the most stupid way of die ever. Other than that good episode. |

| def. the best episode so far, great atmosphere |
| Without doubt, one of the finest episodes of any anime, in any genre. Everything in this episode was calculated to give the viewer the rush of a broad spectrum of emotions, from the throwaway comedic elements (the orange peel) to the tension of the fight, and finally the pitiful sight of a small child trapped in a grown man's body crying for his mother. Just perfection distilled into 24.5 minutes. |

| Faye-faye! Some weird mail just came came for bebop bebop! |

I felt so bad at the end when he starting panicking, thinking he saw a cat. :( Did anyone notice the rare moment where Spike actually looked afraid? When Pierrot was attacking him at the beginning.. Then we again see his superhero-like ability to think quickly and save himself in a deadly situation.. |

| One of the best episodes. THE best villain though. Great character. Reminds me of the baby from Spirited Away (I know this predates that). |
 |
| Such an awesome episode.. the Circus song is still on my head |

| We've had almost everything in Cowboy Bebop so far. From Spike's action and dramatic story, going through Jet's film-noir, Faye's mystery, Ed and Ein's parodies, to supernatural and sci-fi thriller episodes like Toys in the Attic. Now enter Mad Pierrot, a nightmarish entity in an almost surreal, action-packed episode that delivers one of the creepiest and most thrilling moments of the series. Definitely my favorite stand-alone episode of Cowboy Bebop. Mad Pierrot is simply the best 20-minute episode villain I've ever, ever seen. Anywhere. And the episode is just so well done, extremely re-watchable. See You Space Cowboy... |

XD D: You're not helping. xD The creepiest part for me was when Spike shot up the theme park Pluto sailor character and it kept trying to talk and then he kicked in its face till it fell in the ground and STILL was trying to move and talk with his face bashed in. o_o |
