| I don't even know what to say. I'm just sad... I loved this series. It made you feel real life feelings. Just an amazing show like no other I've ever seen. |
| I really wish 4chan didnt spoil the fucking ending as part of the faq. Oh well, it was still pretty good even though I knew he was going to die for like 4 years up until I actually watched the series today. |
| Lol what a joke? Not only did he die, but annie, and julia, and the syndicate guy that was helping him all DIED for him then he ends up DYING after he has 3 deaths on his hand. He should've just ran away with julia and lived happily.. Nope he stays and she stasy with him to die, after that poor lady gets shot trying to lie for him - followed up by the syndicate dude taking shots for him. WOW. How depressing. Doesn't even show how faye and the captain of the ship react - or how they'd react to his death. The worst part is that they waited for the last episode for him to meet julie and she dies the same day rofl. Anyways good series I guess - unique. Just a disgusting ending. |

| dammit spike... :[ |
| This anime is great, but the episodic nature and filler really brings the score down for me. If the whole anime was like the last two eps (and maybe backstory-heavy eps) I would've liked it more. |
| Great ending to such a great series. I can see why people call this a timeless classic. The feels are real. |
| I still think Cowboy Bebop is overrated, but... damn. I liked this a lot. I really expected Spike to come out alive... ;_; ugh |

| What. Didn't expect that at all.... People dropping like flies.

PremiumCascade said: Bang Kinda disappointed though, they could've at least showed how faye, jet, ed and ein got on with there lives in the last few minutes and then dedicated the last few seconds to the star going out. |

| http://markwatches.net/reviews/2013/03/mark-watches-cowboy-bebop-session-26-the-real-folk-blues-part-2/ I think this article sums up my feelings for this ending pretty well |
| This series is just amazing, and the last episode, with that ending is just a perfect fit. A masterpiece in every way |
| Bang. |
 |
| I just re-watched this a month ago, truly a classic :D |
| out of all 26 episodes I can count with one hand how many episodes were serious and action packed like this and that is the reason this ending is anti-climatic. If at least the last 5 episodes were focused in this arc then I would've enjoyed this a lot more. I just don't like the combination of the episodes. And what happened to Ed? and Jet and Faye? A little epilogue should've been there. Anyways I rate this 7/10 because a few epic episodes won't suffice and it can't overwhelm the majority of dull and boring ones. |

It's really cute to see someone who thinks they know good stories when they like HOTD, SAO, and School Days |
| Don't complaint about episodic style/fillers because ii enjoyed it. but the serius arc and ending didn't gave me any impact. It's just end. Even Aria origination ending is darker than this. |

Sure that makes perfect sense and how the fuck do you stalk someone's list anyway? |
| This is my very first comment through the whole MAL, and I gotta say its worth to start it here. At first the series didn't catch my attention thus i dropped it, but later on I carried on watching it, and all i gotta say is wow. This is the very first time when an anime seemingly makes me bored at first glance and then it becomes breathtaking and tear shedding. I loved the music in the anime and the fact that there isn't a happy ending is truly bearable In my opinion. I loved this anime even if not from the first episode. I ultimately rated it a 9 out of 10. |
| Just finished watching this after I kept hearing that this was a classic. And maybe that's where I messed up. I had such high expectations since I kept hearing that this show is a masterpiece that I was expecting to be blown away. But alas, I wasn't. Granted, maybe when I rewatch it, I'll understand it better because that was the case with Psycho-Pass. But I will give Cowboy Bebop this: despite it's episodic nature, it never bored me. The character back stories were my favorite part of the series. Much feels to my favorite character Jet. I didn't like Faye for the most part, but she rubbed off on me in the end. I wish I got to know Ed besides she being a hyper-active hacker. It seems like everyone in Bebop developed except for Spike. He was still stuck in the past and couldn't let go. This episode, to me, was his first step in development in terms of trying to move on and he dies(?) in the process. Overall, I give Cowboy Bebop and 8/10 with plans to rewatch it a few years down the road to maybe understand it better. |

Cowboy Bebop is definitely one of those shows that gets better the more times you watch it. When you watch it again, you notice all the small little details you didn't noticed before. People say Asteroid Blues is one of the weaker ones but I completely disagree, I think it's one of the best in the series especially after you watch The Real Folk Blues |
| This is a great ending. But to me would be better if Jet and Faye came to the rescue after the "bang" and after a small coma he would live happelly with Faye andwith the resct of the crew (and Ed and the dog returned too). But thats just me.But still great ending and amazing series. What i didnt like was to see what happened after with Jet and Faye. |

| I just loved the story. I didn't really like how only a few episodes actually covered the real story, which made me lose my interest halfway. But man, am I glad I finished it. This must be about the best ending I've seen in my entire life and I've left quite some movies and games behind me (pretty new to anime though). If only a few more episodes would have been more serious, then this would have gotten a solid 10. Overall, it's like saying farewell to a best friend. Farewell Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed and Ein... |
| Death scenes. Death scenes everywhere. Faye stop shooting holes in the ship! Did Spike just die? It was kind of unclear. Poor Jet. The last thing they did together was forced laughter. |

Sessons 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26. That's more than half of the show, seems plenty serious to me |
| Bang. ;_; |
| Great finale. Overall a solid anime, 7/10. |

| I believe Spike actually died in the first episode (church shoot out before meeting up with Julia) and every other episode after was just a post life dream of his, including Jet, Faye, Ed, Ein and the others. This was slightly hinted through out the series. A more desirable plot though is everything was real ('coz I'm sort of in love with Faye's character) and he died in the end, or slept indefinitely. Or dreamt further (maybe actually becoming Dandy kek!). damn. Watanabe's finest. |
| Wow, amazing ending. RIP Spike, 10/10 from me. |
| An amazing anime and an amazing ending! I cried so much when Spike died but I thought this was a good ending for this series because it fits to the story. Even though Watanabe said in one of his interviews that it depends on the viewers if Spike is dead or not. He also said he thinks viewers who thought Spike is sleeping instead of being dead are probably right so Spike might not be dead. I really enjoyed the series :D |
