This is one of the weaker episodes of Cowboy Bebop despite featuring 3 of my favorite scenes in the anime: Jet interrogating the mobster, the smoke-ban and Jet's reluctancy to realize he's too old for the girl - There's some great moments in there but in the end it's just a treasure hunt episode xD

Not one of my favorites, but not bad either.
Mei-Fa's eyes were a bit to spread apart on her face, though. Small quirks like that bother me xD

It's always great to see Jet get the main role in an episode!! That was a kinda unusual episode though, but still undeniably enjoyable!

Eh, that episode was okay. Nothing really important happened and it felt like a bit of a side story. No particularly great action scenes or character moments either. 6.5/10

I like the premise; fun filler, adds a much-needed "adventure" feel. But it suffers from too much plot crammed into 20 minutes, like many CB episodes

Decent episode. Jet continues to impress and entertain me. Edward was also cute in this episode.

Couldn't finish the anime yesterday but I shall finish it today.

I didn't care for this episode when I first watched it, and I still don't now. Definitely one of the weaker ones.

WORST EPISODE OF COWBOY BEBOP BY MILES

ESPECIALLY AFTER PIERROT LE FOU, THE GREATEST TV ANIME EPISODE OF ALL TIME

Don't all Cowboy Bebop episodes feel like a side story? I thought that was kind of the series main "thing."

Anyway, I liked it a lot - among the better episodes of the series, in fact. It's quite bitter and emotional yet touching. Few tales can be as tragic as the frayed bonds of a father and daughter.

Yeah, it's a bit sad that Cowboy Bebop is clearly a episodic anime. When I heard how great it was I expected something else. I guess I'm not really into the episodic thing
Anyway, this was an ok episode. I love Ed, she is so funny XD

Definitely not one of the better ones but it still had it's cool moments. It's charming on it's own, it's just not great in terms of Bebop standards

So Jet thinks he's more of the "boyfriend" because he's not that old... man, that thought never crossed my mind.. the kid was obviously a minor and he looks like he's in his 40's

Great episode!

Lol Jet seems to be attracted to young girls :P

Nah i don't really blame him for feeling that way. When you really old, you missed stuff that you love back when you were young.

Shame about Pao, Jet and her solve all these riddles only to see his father die right in front of her.

Also i just notice that everyone at the Bebop ship does smoke!!! They really should designate a no smoking area!

So hopefully the last 5 episodes will be about Spike's past and hopefully Julia will make an appearance :P

Can't wait for this!

This was so boring. probably the worst episode on the whole series.
can't believe we are 21 episodes in and there's still no plot and we get episodes like this.
The 5 episodes left has to be amazing for me to give CB a high score
so far it's been a disappointing show 6/10

At first I thought it was so interesting as it then proved as it has gone ahead with the narration. Just a shame that it is interlocutory in its intent, but the episode is still enjoyable to watch, at least we know a little better the character of Jet. Ein and Ed, are geniuses!

The weakest episode so far. I didn't care one bit about the girl's story and the way it was resolved was seriously weak.
It didn't help that her voice actor was very, very meh.

I enjoyed this episode, I thought it was sweet.

Jet helping an old friends daughter on a quest to find him and then they did and she at least got to say a sad goodbye to him. Awww.

When Ed asked if the girl was Jet's girlfriend, that was funny and the way she came in with the tray. Then later when Jet said at his age he could be his boyfriend then said no, older brother lol.

Kicking out Spike and Faye when smoking too! If only they knew these days, you'd be kicked out of everywhere for smoking.

Mmm, it was semi-interesting but not all that great, especially in comparison with episode 20. I personally felt like it was the weakest episode of the series so far. Even the previous filler episodes managed to be pretty funny or spoofy. This one just didn't quite seem necessary because the resolution was so unsatisfying.

I'm sad again cuz we went from one of the best episodes to one of the worst episodes. I was bored except the smoking ban joke. Heck, even the sad scene was forced as fuck.

The "boyfriend" joke was so cringe, stop.

Screw everyone in this forum for complaining lol. Jet is a fricking awesome character. Totally underrated and probably one of my favorites. He's almost superior to Spike for Pete sake. (In terms of intellect, responsibility, and socialness.) People said not much happened in the episode, and they're right... but this episode was at least simple and easy to follow unlike other ones. I'll agree that it wasn't the BEST episode but it was just fine. In fact that's why I'm here in the first place... just to remind everyone how awesome Jet is.

I loved the very last line in the episode. About how nothing changes except the fact that he now no longer reads the fortune telling sections in magazines. That classic Cowboy Bebop charming dialogue.

At least he probably heard her say “but...” before disappearing forever into the void or wherever tf he is hiding

Does spike have aimbot installed on his ship or something because he was able to hit a puny rock while speeding through hyperspace in one shot... jet was like here’s a rock I’m gonna just eject from the ship, shoot it please
