| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Such a nice episode. Now, I was thinking at the beginning of the episode, this is fun and such but where are the real deal stuff. The second half took me by suprise. |
 |
| It was very cute. But at the same time it was so sad knowing that Faye couldn't remember any of that. Overall great episode. |
| Great episode, I especially enjoyed the search across the solar system for a Betamax player :P And they found a VHS player. XD What a series, I think the main, less episodic plot is starting now :D |
 |
| So, we get to see a bit into Faye's past, lol @ spike ripping the tape out of the video xD, and wow they did a lot of work just to get a VHS player O_O |
| omg MOE Faye = win |
| i loved this episode, it had it's funny parts, and then the video was really cute and sweet.. it was also kind of sad because faye has no memories of her younger self, i bet she didn't even know she looked like that |

| What an episode! There were funny and amusing parts and yet the part about Faye's past was also sad and melancholic. Now in the time frame of this series, in 2071, she's around 23. Faye was brought out of cold sleep back in 2068. And she was 20 then. Back in episode 15, she was told that she had been in cold sleep for 54 years. So that means she was originally 20 years old back in 2014. How old is her younger self in this episode? 14? 16? Assuming that she's 14 or 16, that means that this video of her younger self was taken back in sometime around 2008 to 2010. Instead of a message from 10 years ago, it's sort of like a message from 60 over years ago. Such a huge distance in time, space and memories between her current self and her younger self. I found it heartwarming and yet sad at the same time. It was really great to see her younger self cheering for her older self though. Spike and Jet made such a long journey across space to earth and endured so much just to get an old VHS player. Hahaha! And there was a Merlion statue in the video as well. Lol, a clue to which country Faye came from? One of the best episodes I've seen so far. |
| God it must be so sad to not be able to remember previous parts of your life, I hope I never get Alzheimer's disease. |
 |
| I almost expected Spike and Jet to go back and get the Betamax player once they found out they had the wrong one. :'D This episode was really great. Good mix of different elements too... There was comedy, but at the same time the end was sad and quite serious. I feel bad for Faye. It must stink to see yourself and not remember anything... |
| Loved the Japanese legend that Jet was telling at the beginning of that guy who saved the turtles too. Surely a parallel to Faye's life. |

| young faye is so cute :D loved the ep :D and it was hilarious when jet and spike tried to view the beta lawl :D |
| No sig :( |
| While I was watching Young!Faye cheering for herself, I couldn't help but think "Well, that's all fine and dandy, now can you say your name for the camera?" Great episode, though. |
 |
| Wow, that was so good my chest hurts. No, seriously, it does o.o |

| Great episode. Loved the part where Older version of Faye says "Well, knowing me, I'm sure I am troubling a lot of different people." True story. |

 |
| Faye is awesome. I just wanted that episode to keep going.. & I love Spike's logic on kicking things to fix them. lol |

| seriously can this get any better?:) 5/5 |

| First of all, I cannot believe that tape is still playable after what Spike did to it. Secondly, they should have traced the sender, I wonder who it might be. Somewhat emotional episode. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Confucius said: First of all, I cannot believe that tape is still playable after what Spike did to it. lol i thought that too but i've never had a betamax tape before so i wouldn't know how much sturdier it would be or not to a vhs. It was a funny and heart sweet episode i love this series :) |
| This show just gets better and better |

| This episode was really great. It was touching and a revelation but it also had some comedy. Interesting how they eased in on it by showing what Faye does over the course of the episode and then at the end. I had a feeling Faye would pretend to leave, but then stay and watch secretly. As much as the young version of herself is quite different from now, I can still see how they are the same. I felt sorry for her because she couldn't remember. |
| Such an amazing episode. The comedy has me laughing non stop. After such an epic quest across the galaxy...they come home. With the wrong god damn thing. And then it's tense. Sad. Depressing even. Perfect mixture. |
| Great episode filled with a balanced mix of comedy and later melancholy. The ending really blindsided me. Somehow, seeing the innocent 20th century Faye cheer her current self on like that just really made me sad. |
 |
| Why. Why does the ending of this episode touches me so? |

| The best episode so far |

| Man Spike can be so blunt sometimes! I'm sure if the guy wasn't there Spike would end up destroying the VHS store! The message in the tape feels so nostalgic and melancholic... it gave a great ending to an overall fun episode. And lol at Ein answering the phone :D See You Space Cowboy... |
 |
| Loved Faye's past. |
 |
| Faye was such a cute child. Haha Uranus Observatory. |
| The end of the episode made me think a lot. I find the idea of sending video-message to your future self amazing. I want to try it now :) |
| Faye was so cutee in that video :> |
 |
| The ending was cute, heartwarming, and sad all at the same time. |
| I like how, if they had listened to the tech fanatic, Spike and Jet might have known which player to grab…since he said beta is smaller and all. Found the ending and the contrast of “don’t lose me” and “I can’t remember” disheartening. Decent episode, even though the plot felt a bit ridiculous at some points (especially the climbing through the abandoned museum to get to the players…they were going to slide 400+ feet down the elevator shaft---really?). I hope it is revealed later on who is sending the stuff to Faye… |
| It would be really sad to see a younger version of myself that was almost a hundred years ago cheering me on and now being able to remember it... I'm impressed that it was shipped that long. |
| Damn, now I'm so curious about Faye's past! I hope that they will say something more, at least from what country is she from. I would vote for Japan, but then I started to think about language and then I started to be confused because it's anime and they all speak Japanese anyway... Ah, whatever. I loved the whole thing with video tapes. I miss them somehow now too, my VHS is kind of broken :( My favorite episode so far :) Though I really like all of them :P |
| Wow Faye was so MOE in that video. It makes me wonder about her past even more. |
 |
| Great episode! Hunt for a beta cassette player! Plus an awesome lil back fragment of Faye's Past! |
 |
| Most of the episode was just a fun adventure romp, with some entertaining exploration to find out the big mystery of what was on Faye's tape. But when we finally saw what's on it... BIG emotional payoff in good way for Faye's character.Great episode. 8.5/10 |
