| VT aka HMQ is a really cool character. Would love to see more of her. This show is overall one of the coolest ever. Now I see why people love it. ^____^ |
 |
Here comes the cliche main-female using her seduction to get an advantage, though it turned out horribly. I really enjoyed the music in this one, too. I loved VT's heavy metal attitude~ |
| That was much better than the last episode. |
| Great episode! So VT's true name is Terpsichore, Victoria. Who's this Terpsichore's and how did he became the so called legendary bounty hunter? Lol Faye underestimated that dragon tattoo and it was actually eel of some sorts XD That decker guy is pussy ass bitch. Glad he died like a junk that he is. Wtf Spike eating an egg mixed with pepper and water just to feel ease about his hangover XD Faye is really lovely!!! I don't mind if there's more episode with her :D Can't wait for the next episode! |
| Getting more and more connected to faye, she's just so chill. VT was okay, don't really like those type of characters, but whatevs.. :p |

DragonNeptune said: Add to me to the list of confused people, I thought it was a guy until (s)he mentioned his/her husband. Episode was alright, but I think episode 5 was still the best so far, at least to me.Wth! THat was awoman... Thought she was a gay dude Lol |
 |
| "I have a thing for eels" LOL |
| That was a lady!? I got worried when Spike almost didn't make it to the ship when he was holding his breath. Glad he made it. |
DragonNeptune said: Wth! THat was awoman... Thought she was a gay dude Lol Me too |
 |
| The face Spike made when they the yolk fell on his pants 😂 That waitress's face.. It doesn't fit with this show lol. What are they, 0/7 on bounties? LOL. Spike having the ability to come up with the idea of shooting the gun to push himself when he was so close to death.. Holy crap. First 3/4 episodes felt a bit slow, but I've enjoyed the last 3 episodes ^^ |
| Badass Spike |
  |
| Wow, that waitress... How stupid can a blonde be really ? :p That VT was really... manly, but her looks didn't really fit her nickname. Gotta wonder if they'll ever be successful in their hunting sometime. Still don't understand why dead bounties don't count. Usually they're worth half or so. |
| Lol at how their bounties always end up dead. |
 |
| Took me a while to realize that was a chick. Really confused why her voice sounded so feminine lol |
 |
| "I have a thing for eels" lol wtf? xD |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Lol, this episode broke logic, but it was fun. Spike using a gun to maneuver in space, lol! 5/5 |
 |
| You couldn't hold your breath in space, the outward pressure in the lungs would violently push all the air out into space. Good episode though, don't really like the english dub for a lot of characters. |
 |
| I really thought we were dealing with a gay stereotype here by calling a dude a queen, but now that I read the comments, I realize VT is a girl...*dope* Anyways, that was a decent episode. I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but when are they going to have a more intriguing, overarching storyline? I know Vicious was back there, and the OP from the 1st episode... I like one-offs here and there, but almost every episode...I'm so impatient, I guess. |
  |
| VT giving Professor Oak a hard time for the "Are you a boy or a girl?" question. My favourite episode so far, the comedy moments were great, poor dog tho. |
 |
| This is not how fucking space works/10 |
| Another fun and light-hearted episode with yet another demonstration that the characters in this anime, are anything but boring and stereotyped. Narrative that has only one flaw, it is self-contained, the rest is pleasant and interesting. |
 |
| Ok I enjoy this episode a lot Heavy Metal Queen. |
 |
| Space Mexicans won this episode. :D That "thing" was a woman afterl all. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Heavy Metal Queen was cool and it was a fun episode! Having to get out of that mine thing by using bombs to explode that bit to make an opening was cool! Spike nearly didn't make it! D: He finally found out her name too from her locket lol. Spike with a hangover and that cure was funny, and when he beat up those guys for making him drop that egg on his trousers! lol. |
 |
| That is one embarrassing tattoo, that eel tattoo :'D what did he thought when he got that one. Great episode. |
 |
| Space truckers, nice. |

lazyhobbit said: I thought she was trans or just masculine looking. Could have been a gay man, but the name victoria is typically female and frequently associated with trans people for some reason. Plus she had her husband's last name, so unless gay marriage is a thing in their planet i'd say she was a woman. If you look at the photo of her when she was younger (the one Spike finds in her watch), she's clearly female. She just took on a more masculine appearance as she got older. It's not uncommon for women to become more masculine after menopause due to hormone changes, and she deliberately chose to accentuate that by wearing masculine clothing. This could be for any number of reasons - to be taken more seriously as a trucker and not look like a soft target; to prevent guys from hitting on her; to disguise her identity (she obviously didn't want to be recognized as Victoria Terpsichore, one-half of the legendary bounty-hunting duo), etc. As for why the name Victoria is associated with transgender people, it could be because of the movie Victor/Victoria, in which Julie Andrews pretends to be a man in order to get work as an entertainer. I think its use as VT's real name is just a coincidence, though, and not indicative of her gender identity. |
| Another close call for Spike. |
 |
| I really liked this episode. As everything is related in the end... Loved it. |
| VT was great but I think that the episode ended a bit underwhelming. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Well given the name "Heavy Metal Queen" and her weird voice, it wasn't hard to figure out that she's a woman. Those episodic stories are kinda boring though. |
| The moment VT appeared on screen and she talked seemed pretty obvious she was a women and people guessing her name with female names everyone around her knew she was a women. The comments claiming she is trans, or dressing as a guy to fit in is silly. Not all women want to wear dresses or have long hair. Her voice was slightly hoarse because she is older. |

| i still confused about vt gender.. and i get that spike have great instincts and all and despite that he's still a failure on saving the bounty alive, but he had opportunity here and still didn't took the money? |
| This one had some good moments, but I think it's one of the weaker episodes so far. The animals had some cute moments, which was nice. But Spike going outside without anything to help with the low pressure, and using a gun to propel himself, really broke my immersion. On a side note, I wonder if Victoria will reappear later in the show. |
| Spike's face when the egg hit his pants was amusing. |
| can dis sig fit |
| What was with Spike cracking an egg over the ashtray lol Surprised that he didn't accept the money when he guessed Victoria's name. She hates bounty hunters...but she was married to one. |
