| A beautiful ending to an amazing anime, it went out in style! ^_^ |
Beatnik said: And before anyone even tries it: NO, HE REALLY IS DEAD. Everything from the character's behaviour, the direction, the theme of the show, the music, and even the lyrics indicates he is dead dead dead. Get over it. That and the fact that he was surrounded by enemies... |

TidesofChaos said: Hm...everyone here is raving about this ending and saying it's perfect so I feel really wrong for saying this but...it didn't quite do it for me. (...) To have so many stand alone pieces of almost comedy and then two last story driven, intense episodes felt out of place. (...) Then again, this ending does kind of suit a different aspect of Cowboy Bebop and that was how it seems to switch genres randomly and emulate different works. (ex: Toys in the Attic like Alien) I totally agree. There was a sort of a discord between the whole series and the ending, although it might've been created on purpose. But even if that's the case, this particular change of mood/convention/whatever didn't come to my liking. But maybe it's just me wanting too much for Spike to stay alive and live happily ever after... ;) |

| Dam even though Spikes death was the proper way to end it, i would have loved it if he survived with the rest of Bebop. I feel so bad for Faye :( and Ed/Ein never came back either D'X< But seriously this whole ep was overflowing with great emotions and spectacular fights though the fight was rather short. Julia just appeared out of nowhere and just died just like that x_x But all in all a great classic 10/10 Now need to watch the movie and get the OST :D Hoping to re-watch in a couple of months :))) |
QysteiN said: Same with me. Spike lives on!Nicely done spike. Die as a man!. Damn this anime kick ass. For me Spike will always be alive. See ya, Space cowboy. When i saw that star dissapear all current thought just vanished. It's too great of a series. Each episode was nicely done. I would have loved it if they showed what happens to the rest of the crew of the bebop. |
Iisan-kun said: This anime is pretty overrated, but it's still good. I think it's stupid they had so many comedic episodes which weren't necessary, and then rushed the only part that really mattered. (Don't get me wrong- I really liked a lot of those episodes.) But seriously, can you say you cared when Julia died? And who were Lin and Shin? Who was that man who got killed by Vicious in one of the first episodes? What about Vicious himself? They certainly didn't give us much on him and Spike in their days in the Red Dragon. I thought they would relate all of this, into one breathtaking backstory... but it didn't deliver for me. ...I guess I'm just asking why they didn't take some of the unnecessary episodes out and give it to us. Sinnichiro Watanabe said that he saw every Bebop episode as a film, thats why every episode has an other feeling and it works quite well as one serie. To answer your questions ''Lin and Shin both worked as bodyguard for Vicious?'' They are twin brothers One of them died in the Jupiter Jazz episodes and another in the last episode. ''Who was that man who got killed by Vicious in one of the first episodes?'' Mao Yenrai clan boss of the Red Dragon Syndicate Vicious and Spike Spiegel worked for him in the past. ''What about Vicious himself? They certainly didn't give us much on him and Spike in their days in the Red Dragon.'' Have you ever watched the episodes very good it was explained in again the Jupiter Jazz episodes thats enough to tell how Vicious Behaving split from Spike and the ethics from the Red Dragon Syndicate. |

| The ending is sad, but one of the best. The last song is great. Spike's character = evergreen. Bang. |

Metty said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- NOO!!! SPIKE, DON'T LEAVE ME, YOUR TO YOUNG TO DIE!!! I know. He's only 27, but I always thought he was somewhere around 17. Sorry, I couldn't vote. I hate that episode because of the twisty ending. I hate Vol. 6 period. Too many tragedies. Big Shot's cancelation, Ed's getaway, Shin dying and now Spike? NO!!!!!!!!!! |
| Boo: "Boo!" |
| I just finished this overrated piece of garbage, yet I can't seem to give it a score lower than 7/10 because of the comedy and great animation. I didn't really care that Spike died, really. |

| :( Overall, a good series. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| damn.. this and code geass r2 ending always get me. 10/10 |
| Now this is what I call a real ending. |
| I've had to have seen this series a couple dozen times, but the last two episodes always get me. Everything about them is perfect. |

"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Beautiful. Goodbye, Space Cowboy. |
| I've got a lot of things to say, but like what makes this show so entertaining, I'll keep it short. Classy to the end, Cowboy Bebop. 9/10 |
| Spike didn't die, he's the person driving the cart at the end!! Lol but seriously, bang. ;_; I would have liked to see some shots of the crew after all is said and done, like an epilogue or something...but maybe it's best that they didn't include it. I've noticed that in some emotional moments (Faye finding the video of her past and tearing up, Ed leaving, etc) they really don't spend a lot of time having the characters mope around, but cut it at the best point for the best impact. So I guess not having an epilogue is similar to that, and an epilogue would have been sorta cheesy anyways. The part with Faye confronting Spike as he's about to leave, was just perfect. She was definitely my favorite of the series, a badass and sexy woman, but also has great development to her character. Also I've got to say, the Cowboy Bebop dub was just perfect. Probably the best dub I've ever heard. This and the Samurai Champloo dub were top notch, I'll never be able to watch them in Japanese. I can only hope that one day, maybe they'll animate some more adventures of the crew. ;_; |

| The most perfect ending episode of any anime ever. That's not opinion, that's fact. |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| Just finished it. Awesome ending. Couldn't ask for anything better. The great animes leave a mark on one's life, this is one of them. Anything after this would have been a waste and lessen the series. As much as I would have like to know what happened to Faye and Jet, the fact they left them in that denile state was genius. And yes, he's dead. If you didn't catch the ending, Spike's "red star" did go out like the shaman said it would. Good-bye Cowboy. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| I'm glad I rewatched this after a long time. Definitely really good. |
 |
| damn im really pissed he died. i feel so bad for faye. even she didnt deserve that. and she was actually a good female lead!!!! how rare even in the 13 years after this was made! goddamn. i guess that was a decent end tho. the show overall was kind of boring, and a let down from all of the speculation id been hearing on this site regarding it for so long. 7/10 |

| I cannot believe he really died.. Oh wells, such a nice anime. 9/10 Overall |

| This series made me a better human being. I need to re-watch this. |

| This serie did not manage to make me cry a single time, however I was on the edge 2 times. I was also never properly hyped up with the feeling of epicness. The ending was good, but sad. I prefer more fairy tale like animes with a happy ending. Anyway I wont put that into my my judge of the score. I give this anime a 8/10. Because I enjoyed the show. Its truly a good show, tho my opinion its a bit over-rated. I could easily recommend this anime to friends, but I would exclude it from "Hey buddy, you MUST see this anime" category. |
| Bang... What a wonderful anime~ Very much enjoyed it!T-T |
| So sad. He died. Well, an excellent ending after all. I feel sorry for feya. |
