Just a beautiful episode that's about Faye, she finally gets to know a little bit more about herself.
The ending was so sweet.

fuck nostalgia on cowboy vhs/beta

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Great episode! I enjoyed seeing all of the old electronics, and the journey in the abandoned Tokyo museum was neat too. Spike messing up all the electronics was pretty funny too, and it was neat to see a bit of Faye's past in the tape. A fun episode overall.

couldn't remember any more that this exact episode was this late in the series.

The Betamax guy was funny, in italian dub he the same voice of Eric Cartman from South Park (well, the original dub) and at the end they seemed very similar.

What a weird return for The Egg And I soundtrack song, it didn't feel suited for that search by Spike and Jet, even if it's nice to see how much they are dedicated to the mission.

Yeah, Spike could have handled some things differently, yeah, who the hell sent the parcels, whatever... the ending is wonderful. i'm the first one that was annoyed by some antics of Faye before, but it's impossible for me to not feel sorry for her now (well, now and at every rewatch before). The world is cruel, the world shows no mercy, and soooooooooo many young people are just doomed to have her same optimism and cheery personality crushed hard with no anesthesia at some point.

Reply to PrometheanSpark
How would the tape even get to Faye if she made up a name for herself given her records and memories were destroyed? How would the package track to her? The entire premise of the episode is nonsense.
@PrometheanSpark We don't know who sent it to her, they had to track her down somehow, maybe that black "doctor" led them to Faye. With the information we have at this point, it's stupid to nitpick about such trifles.

Justo cuando decía que los capítulos no profundizaban en nada, resultó que la cosa se puso emotiva e intrigante jajajaja

El tema es que cowboy bebop siempre hace eso de darte atisbos de que hay una gran historia detrás pero al final ya vamos por el capítulo 18 de 26 y todavía no se entiende bien cuál es el trasfondo de cada personaje, así que tampoco me ilusiono tanto.

What starts as a goofy treasure hunt—Spike and Jet messing around with a busted VHS—turns into one of the most soul-crushing, existential episodes in Bebop.

Faye gets a package, and for once, it’s not debt collectors or bounty hunters. It’s a tape. A recording from her past self—a girl she doesn’t even remember. Young Faye, full of life, leaving a message for the future, never realizing the future would erase her.

This is Faye’s tragedy in one scene. No breakdown, no grand realization—just silence. Because what do you even say when you watch a version of yourself that’s so alive, so full of hope—while you sit there, lost and alone?

Bebop isn’t just about space cowboys, jazz, and action. It’s about people with nowhere to go, trapped in a past they can’t escape. Faye’s been running, pretending she doesn’t care, but this episode proves—she’s been lonely all along.

Ok interesting we got a video of a Young Faye cheering for herself 10 years in the future. Pretty cute. So this has just been shipping around and now finally back to her huh. It took a bit longer than 10 years though but she finally saw it.

A strange tape arrives at the ship. Is curious how when the show was aired the VHS, cassettes and that stuff were still the standard and widely used. Poor collectionist, Spike has no respect for those things. The earth is really fucked after that incident. Nice the little adventure Spike and Jet had in the museum but sadly for them it was in vain, they should have brought Ed with them. The tape ended being about Faye and was made by her past self, those things about sending messages to the future and when the day of watching it comes can be a very sad experience. Younger Faye is very cute, is very cute how she cheers her future self, we now know more about Faye. But who sent the tape? Apparently has been traveling for a long time but the strange part is where the VHS player comes from, probably someone, possibly one of the friends in the video is around there and sent it. Interesting episode but nothing too important happened.
