Perhaps this episode, re-teaches me, that men and their actions can be so irrational to the appearance, but the truth is so clear and reasoned. Perhaps the dissolute are the so-called good and bad is the one who wants the good of mankind, who knows! Narratively the episode is fun, thanks to the characters of Andy von de Oniyate and Teddy Bomber, and is "seasoned" as always, to beautiful drawings and a nice soundtrack. Characters gorgeous! What fun the fancy dress party and Faye evening with Andy.

This was such a fun episode to watch. The horse in the elevator parts always made me laugh. This has to be on my top 3 favorite episodes.
Andy was the star of this episode, but the teddy bomber was also really interesting, his reasons for blowing buildings up was written in so well.

Cowboy Andy not only just acted like Spike but also appeared to be a blonde haired blue eyed clone too, looked like they just recoloured Spike LOL!!!

They were funny together, I liked it and in the end he gave up being a cowboy, but he was so good at it!

He said see ya space cowboy but then the end credits after he changed to a samurai said see ya space samurai instead.

Teddy bomber was weird.

It was funny, but Andy pissed me off more than anything else - I found myself wanting to cry when you heard his whistled tune O_O


This sums it up pretty good, also the face of Spike at the end does it pretty well:

Andy is annoying. I'm glad he's yet another one-off disposable character. Although, I guess he was a good foil, I mean, mirror to Spike.

The rivalry of Andy and Spike. It’s like the splitting images of each other. Fun episode from cowboy to samurai.

This feels like the bottom of my list of episodes, even if it had a few good moments, like the space samurai one. At first I was trying really hard to understand why people say that the two are similar, but in the end I guess the episode's actual point was people who grasp Spyke's persona only superficially and might even try to copycat his demeanour without understanding the reasons that led him to this style of living - which is again, only really fun on the surface.

For people interested in Teddy Bomber speech about capitalism in the end, this character is actually based on the real life criminal, the Unabomber. He wrote a famous manifesto about the dangers of technology that you can probably found online. He is also named Ted by the way.

Cultural colonialism plus cultural appropriation.

What is questioning how a true pioneer should be, according to Teddy Bomber? If [almost] everythin we say, think, imagine, the way we behave, choose and dress ourselves was previously fabricated, thought, invented by other shits we [unconsciously] consume in the morbid everyday of life? A chanbara samurai, a western cowboy, a bad boy spy/hunter, a casual noir film femme fatale stereotype (like Julia , which remembers me a lot of Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity) and other models and forms of living are floating in the social dream and imagination in relation to other fictional lives and "parallel universes"... Fighting against the system, which you are more tied up than you can think, can be a nice challenge (but not impossible).

Anyway, the clash between egos of Spike and Andy' confrontations is funny to watch, a hint of what is like Spike and Vicious' mutual antipathy (which is in higher level of hate, of course); Andy even started to carry a sword in his samurai version.

This episode had plenty of good gags and jokes, probably the most I've laughed since the mushroom episode. I especially like the payoff at the end.

The animation was also very good this episode. But otherwise, that's about it.

I'm glad I am not the only one who got that reference. I never thought I'd see Ted Kaczynski in an anime someday haha.

This episode is funny overall, I really like it.

What a BANGER!

It's definitely true that we usually can't stand people who are too similar to us. It's like you're seeing every little thing that is bad about you, but right in front of you.

The comedy was GOLD, and that dialogue in the end from the bomber... This one was truly a BANGER to end all bangers!

Poor Teddy not getting the attention he needed really shows how much one person can do to change the world too, pretty much nothing.

Pure fun episode would be generic and bland but the comedy lifts it from being bad filler to decent enough.  Also, never expected to see Theodore Kaczynski of all people parodied in an anime... though judging by this forum, surprisingly few people seemed to comment on the parody
