It's about the half of the series but they're keeping it real! Good show, very good.

I think it's interesting how Malfina is questioning who she is. Also interesting that Suzuka bet on the Outlaw Star.

It was nice to see the cat girl again. Also the race looks promising. Looking forward to next episode.

Airhead is back. It's interesting to see that Melfina is actually proactive and more than just a damsel in distress/navigation system. She's really trying to find out who she is.

Aisha is so cute in that waitress uniform.

Good episode. I'm excited to see how the race turns out.

didn't expect to see Aisha there but the second she started acting up i knew she would get in trouble for it. didn't think she was going to get in the race though.

I had a feeling gene was going to pick the most dangerous way.

this whole race should be quite interesting.

it was funny seeing gene get shot down and seeing the cat lady again. Also this race confuses the hell out of me. It seems to make no sense.

The race officer lady's response is classic: "If I'm not mistaken I think you already have this office's phone number."

BEST GIRL IS BACK!

Lol, they have a space shark in a racing ship, what if that's they're equivalent of Melfina?

Time for a face off with Macdougal. Should be interesting.

I'm excited for the race now. One thing that was odd was that (at least in the dub) they say that the race has no reward but then say it does. Not really sure what it is supposed to be. Anyway, the rest of the episode was great.

This is why I'm more leaning towards Outlaw Star than Cowboy Bebop. Outlaw Star focuses more on world building and slowly introducing us to different places, cultures etc.

Heifong is an interesting place and obviously China based, but future proof. Most of the time in Cowboy Bebop. We only see some gilmpse of the city, but it's mostly rundown areas and the pace focuses too much on moving one spot to the next instantly.

I like this taking their time and sucking up the atmosphere. It really potrays the Space Pirate/Adventure much more realistic.

Let's see how Gene will win the race :D

I have to agree with you on this. So far I'm leaning this way too. Great way to explain it.

Suzuka is betting on the Outlaw Star, she must think they can win. She doesn't seem like the type to take chances.

That being said, it's hard to tell if Gene is actually interested in winning. He almost risked it all just to get a glimpse at a ship.

The crew enters the race. But only thanks to that gay merchant and assuming they get at least 3rd place. It's going to be tough.

But maybe not as tough as certain catgirl has as a waitress. She would probably make friends with princess Martina from "Slayers Next".

So now Gene and the crew are now entering a race to spread the word about Outlaw Star and pretty much make a name for themselves. And Aisha is back! Just the moment she recognised that Gene was the one talking to her, hilarity ensued for me. It's good to see her again. Looks like Suzkua's betting on the Outlaw Star actually winning the race when she stated quite clearly that she had no interest in the race whatsoever. Even more interesting still, is Melfina asking Gilliam to find any information on who she is as well. But sadly he can't find anything that would help her but at the very least he's trying to help her which I think is quite nice really.

Kind of a set up episode for the race in general but I'm honestly hyped to know what happens next because damn that cliffhanger. I want more damn it! Good episode regardless though.
