This was a great arc. Now I'm very interested in Julia and her relationship with Skipe.
I hope we can hear more about her in the future episodes.

I love the chemistry between the main cast. Jet used the excuse that Faye had stolen a lot of their money as a reason for finding her, but you could see that Jet genuinely cared about her and wanted her back.

I can see that Faye's a little jelly. Jet and Spike should care more for babe like her. I feel bad for Gren, he is going to die a lonely death. ):

That was an unexpected turn of events indeed. The words of the Native American-esque man at the end was so much more touching knowing who he was referring to. Very sad.

The ending theme was truly gorgeous.

Nice episodes.
What about that thing: "The work, which becomes a new genres itself, will be called... Cowboy Bebop".
Ok, ok, I gotta admit: considering the age of this show, it is pretty awesome but aren't they bragging too much?

So Spike's fluffy coat didn't save him, but it was just a tranquilizer. I really like the background music for this episode. Well, all the episodes have great sounds, but I hadn't really paid much attention till now.

Hope we'll see Julia eventually. And Faye
seemed really deep in thought. She may
be a tad more serious from now on. xD

Wow amazing episode!

Lots of twist, action, suspense and dark atmosphere!

So Gren was really man who had a sickness of low testosterone. Still doesn't explain how he develop boobs on it :P

And wow, he was just using Julia's name as a cover up. So let me get this straight. Gren and Vicious used to be war buddies a long time ago. Then out of nowhere Vicious backstabs Gren and framing him as a spy just because he was only interested with the musical piece he heard.

Then sometime after the war, Vicious met Spike and that's how they became buddies until Vicious backstabs Spike once more.

So not only Vicious backstabs two close friends who are there to help him, but also leaves out that Lin guy despite him protecting in death.

I'm actually surprise Spike and Gren didn't knew each other. Then again, Gren did serve time in jail due to Vicious.

Still how did Gren met Juilia? Same thing with Spike?

I'm just glad Faye is finally back on the team! Never leave again Faye :P

Lots of answers revealed, but more questions keep piling up!

Amazing stuff! Though it seems we're back to "Stand Alone" episodes aka Bounty stuff once more.

Can't wait for the next episode though!

5/5.

So Grim got transplants in order to fool Vicious... I feel like he could have cross dressed without having to go to that extent. Heck why even go that far, just dress up like an old guy with glasses.

So Gren is a guy. He just has boobs from some drug they gave him when he was in prison. At least he died peacefully.

Been watching anime for a while now. Sure I began with Cowboy Bebop but something happened in my life and I dropped it 10 episodes in. Heresy I know so I picked it up after all these years.
These two episodes punched me right in the guts!
Sad but in a way a good death, he got closure and died on his own terms and got the burial he wanted.
And that music.

Gren didn't get transplants... He explained in the last episode, how he became a drug addict while in prison and that it destroyed his hormonal balance. Thus, the boobies.

Not a heresy. You need to be in the right mindset to fully enjoy some works. First time, I tried to marathon Cowboy Bebop, didn't work out that well. Now I know better, and I'm loving it.

Bit of a stretch imo. But there's no real point in comparing the two. One is a long-runner that prides itself in its rich setting, strong MCs and political plots (and classical music during space battles :p), and the other is an episodic anime, quite experimental in the way that it constantly switches genres and ambiances.

This was an awesome pair of episode. Faye finally getting a bit of depth behind her bitchy character, although she should really stop stabbing Jet and Spike in the back.

Seems like Julia was with both Vicious and Spike at the time and she left after their conflict because she couldn't choose. At least that's how I interpreted these flashbacks.

It was a great 2 episodes. Really loved the style. Had a big stupid grin on my face when he let Spike back in at the end. I love Space dramas. Just so macroscopic, that it makes you feel small but at the same time makes conflicts even more beautiful in a way.

Yeah as far as i know the director admitted that statement was kinda over exaggerated at a later stage.

I don't know how it's so captivating about how they present the characters, situations, story, etc. But it really hooks the viewer in. The past episode and this episode were truly amazing. Gren was a side character but he/she became very memorable in all the screen time over the span of two episodes. All while still keeping the mysteries behind Spike, Vicious, and Julia. Man why haven't I started this sooner.

That final poignant, not to mention the run in that context the song, it was pleasant to listen while my mind was shaken by a flood of emotions. Although these feelings are an integrated part of watching an anime. The main and secondary characters have a solid construction of character, a pleasure to see them in action and savor the virtues and vices.

Great ening! I want it!

Dayum I am so glad I decided to rewatch this series. I remember this episode kind of hitting me last time, but not nearly as much as it did now. That last song felt like it was worming its way into my soul, and something about seeing Gren on his way and then seeing the group all back together brought a tear to my eye.
Wonder why Faye doesn't like blue, tho? Maybe because it's considered a sad color?

Wow, Vicious didn't even recognise Gren.

So it was drugs in prisons that gave him too much estrogen that made him grow boobs, they were not planned on his part in any way. But they do kinda suit him. I can't believe Vicious sold him out!

And then Gren tricked him then the 3 way fight between those two and Spike who they had only tranqued and not killed.

Awww, the end was sad and Gren died but going back to where he wanted to be.
