| I saw the spoiler (about Spike dying) before I even started watching the anime, but it didn't really affect it all that much. Still really enjoyed this show, there were some episodes that weren't very entertaining but most were great and the series on the whole was pretty fantastic in my opinion. I also thought the ending was very fitting. Great final episode to a top-notch anime. |
| It was pretty awesome ending, finally Spike's at peace... but still i hoped till last minute of credits that there will be some kind of ----- "Spike survived !!!" * Heavy metal* "what?" * Heavy metal* "can't hear yo" * Heavy metal* Spike>"urusai! 'am injured here ffs!" ------ Too bad they got no balls for sequel as i read somewhere. It would disturb perfect ending but in exchange for another 26 eps of awesomeness it seems reasonable bargain. Damn those top anime are always too short , aren't they ? Masamasa said: Bang... Also, what weight am i gonna carry?? OH NOOOEEESS Ya gonna get hunted by angered Faye in place of Spike as he's out of reach :P |

| I just rewatched Cowboy Bebop for the 5th time...the masterpiece of anime. I want to think Spike is still alive but the unknown makes the serie more epic if possible. I have never been of sequels, prequels neither side stories but if some day they make one about Cowboy Bebop, it would be one my happiest days of my life. |
| I refuse to believe that he is dead. The star is Vicious. That's what I think and I'm sticking to it. He wakes up all bandaged up in the Bebop and the good times keep rolling. |
| Let's go bowling. |
| Bang! Whatever happens, happens! |

| I need a prequel NOW |
| Damn, too bad I was already spoiled that he was going to die. This finale was done really well. Respect to Spike, he was a great character. |
 |
| Just wanted to chime in and say wow, these last two episodes were probably my favourite, utterly fantastic stuff. |
| This series is such a classic and started off good, maintained well, and finished off well. Also, that cute story of the neko by Spike ^_^ This is a dream. Just a bad dream Love it. |
 |
| It's shame I just found Cowboy Bebop recently and didn't watch earlier.. I really enjoyed watching it from start to the end! <3 At the moment I was writing this, I've watched Cowboy Bebop movie too. But more talkie about main story. I actually got feeling that Spike is really going to die.. when he told that "cat story" thing to Jet. Man, I hated Vicious :/ so annoing and use swords (Yeah, I don't like swords somehow...) Last episodes was so drama, I was waiting to that moment... Spike died and credits coming... damn I cried much :'( 5/5, I never forget Cowboy Bebop... :') |

| Definitely one of the greatest animes to ever exist Brilliant from start to finish Sad ending but it was fitting. It is definitely a memorable anime and I would highly recommend it to anyone |
 |
| great series really loved this now i know why this is called a classic |
I agree with everyone saying that the ending was good. Yes, it sure was. Still, I can't lie that I wanted a more of a positive ending. Spike was such an amazing character, killing him off like that was sad to see. Also they could have shown us a small peak about what happened to the other characters. In any case the battle scene was awesome and it wrapped up the story. All in all, the show itself was a great watch. |
|
| Bang. This anime is a classic. 10/10 |

| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| The ending was very... bittersweet. I was sad that Spike died, but I don't think it could have ended any other way. A fitting end for an excellent anime series. |
 |
| Epic. |
| This is among the best endings to any show I've ever watched. You're gonna carry that weight. |
| snorefest series good ending orgasmic music 7/10 overall |
 |
terroreost said: Yeah true haha.Nobody gives a fuck for those poor guards that spike killed, how sad. I bit disappointed that Julia's 7 min appearance then died. Why not 17 min nor to the end? |
Sorry for my bad English. |
| I had never watched the story all the way from beginning to end until now. I'm glad I took the time to do that. This was a great ending to a very good anime. Spike is alive, in our hearts and minds. You're gonna carry that weight! |
| epic~ i will never forget that last scene~ |
 |
| Absolutely brilliant.. so glad i decided to watch this... also i saw a resemblance to yu yu hakusho haha... 'bang' ! |
| It doesn't matter how beautiful your guess is or how smart you are or what your name is. If it disagrees with experience, it's wrong that's all there is to it |
| One of the best endings and show I've ever seen. A top classic that deserves more watches than it should have; even though it has lots already. |

| The ending was easily the best part of the series, I thought the rest was kind of average but the last two episodes were amazing. |
 |
| :< |
 |
| Damn really great ending! They really put everything in this last episode! I was so shocked but on the other side I just knew it that Julia would die :( and than Spike in the end Bang! Goodbye cowboy you've shot your last bullet! Great anime! I'll be watching the movie and recap special now! 9/10 |
 |
| I feel like this ending was rushed. Well, I guess it has to do with the fact that Vicious was one of the most boring and empty antagonists I've ever seen. We learned more about Gren than we did Vicious. Outside of the last 2 episodes, I felt the 2nd season was relatively bland compared to the first season. Edit: I found myself thinking, "Where the hell are these last few episodes going and why have I found them all to resemble filler?" Edit 2: I also feel like the show focused too much on Spike in the last 2 episodes, and not the crew of the Bebop. |

| This is without a doubt my favorite anime ever. I do believe he died but there's part of me open that he could have possibly lived, but that chance is very little. I love to read speculation about Spike's current status: dead or alive. The theory about episode 5 where Spike falls out of the cathedral window. It is unlikely that he could have survived that fall from that window. While falling to the ground the flashbacks he had and the rest of the series could just be a dream Spike has before dying. Also, when Julia says, "It's all just a dream" in session 26 before she dies it could be interpreted that he is just dreaming the whole time and this is the end. I am very open to a continuation but I'd feel like it'd ruin it. :c |
| Watanabe stated "I've never officially said that he died. At this point, I can tell you that I'm not sure if he's alive or dead." I choose to believe that Spike is still alive, since either possibility ain't right or wrong. He survived 2 nearly fatal (He should have died) battle against vicious and a bullet in the chest shot by Vincent Volaju. Moreover, Watanabe would like to do continuity but fear the fans reation. |

| I feel I should have read a review before watching this series because I started realizing what this anime is about a bit late. I felt that something was missing I don't know what, but there wasn't something that made me want to watch more like other series did, maybe that's not the genre I like. I enjoyed the way they put the stories of each character through the series, though. I think I watched it the wrong way, I should watch it again, but I'm not sure about it. 8/10 |

Idk what anime you watch, but I can't tell if you're trolling or just dumb. Even though they're fillers pretty much, most of the episodes showed us background info, past of some of the Bebop and it was actually entertaining to see. Most of anime today can't even do this. |

| I've got mixed feelings as to the series as a whole. The whole ~15 of unrelated side stories (and the few that actually developed the characters) with the underlying main plot with Vicious didn't really blend together well. Plus the fact that Spike really didn't appeal to me. Even after finishing the series, I don't really understand his character nor his consistency. (near invincible in gun fights yet gets his ass handed to him by a random archaeologist/cartographer) I think Bebop is a prime example of a relic from an older era. It's quite evident that most people who enjoyed Bebop are used to a slower moving plots and constant side tracking, not to say it's a bad thing. That, or they watched it as a kid and are just feeling nostalgic about it. Overall, not my cup of tea, but definitely not a bad series. JkImpulse said: I feel like this ending was rushed.

"Space Lion" was such a fantastic ending theme. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Justt completed this. I think it's a good anime, but some of the episodes were kinda boring. Best ending ever? Meh. Great soundtrack though. |

| What a great serie I stumbled over the other day! A masterpiece in my eyes, loved all of the members in Bebop. |
