I get that they wanted a light comic relief character, and I would be just fine with that.

But Ed was so Goddamn annoying. I really didn't like her.

>>145363481

Something is wrong with you

>>145363513
Ed is annoying. Shes basically a retarded girl who happens to be great with computers.

>>145363481

I didn't like Ed until I got to Mushroom Samba. Then she became the best character in the show.

I totally understand her purpose in the show. And I don't mind a comic relief character, I think her role is definitely important.
I just think Ed in particular is annoying. I think they could have had a light comic relief character without her being so retarded.

I just really don't like Ed much, so I'm a bit biased I guess.
I think shes easily the worst part of the show. As said earlier, I know her role is important, she balances out the cast.

But I just think she is super annoying

>>145365976
>>145366332
One of my favorite parts of the episode is where she's calling up the other truckers. Not just because it shows how tightly knit the trucking community is, but because of the interiors. Each one she calls has TONS of detail in the cockpit, like the one guy with a bunch of different plants, the other with Chinese themed stuff. I can't remember everything but it all feels detailed and lived in, and these characters and cockpits are on screen for not even five seconds each. How many shows go to that much effort? It's a good example of why Cowboy Bebop is still one of the greatest anime of all time.

>>145366481

Black Dog Serenade (Where the prisoners take over a transport ship and we see how Jet lost his arm) was the only Jet episode I enjoyed desu.

The Ep. with the Jet and the girl looking for her dad was probably the worst Bebop episode.

I just remember the English VA of the girl being awful.

Agreed
Bebop is a very adult and mature show, and Ed felt really out of place

>>145366878
I don't see what was supposed to be sad about that scene

I'm terrible at paying attention to plot details but all the video showed was faye as a child, right? What was so sad about that?

>>145368674
She's forgotten everything, and shes now seeing herself as a kid. Everyone else in that video is either dead or ancient.

>>145366878
Did they ever explain who sent the video?

>>145368182
Ed might've worked better if she had some sort of character development. I didn't hate her but I feel like she never really fit in with the Bebop crew.

>>145368674

Faye is from like OUR time period. Her birthdate is 1994, man.

Every one of her friends is in their late 70's.

And she forgot EVERYTHING.

She doesn't even know what she missed.

She literally lost herself, and woke up in massive debt in a crapsack world.

That's brutal, man.

I think you mean objective SHIT list.

Speak Like A Child is the best episode, or at least top 3. That episode was the thing that brought anime from something I casually watched on TV to something I seek out for over a decade. It made me care about the character I liked the least of out the whole cast, which is really fucking hard when you're as stubborn as I am. That VHS at the end is one of the most powerful emotional scenes I've watched, right up there with Clannad, but unlike Clannad Cowboy Bebop wasn't just about the emotional scenes mixed between comedy scenes, which makes it all the more powerful. Cowboy Bebop mastered horror, comedy, action, AND drama, which is why so many people love it so much.

When I want to cry, I rewatch the last 3 minutes of Speak Like a Child. Works every time, I just relate so well to it.

>>145369786
Eh, I thought Hard Luck Woman handled Faye's subplot better.
I thought the video was cheesy.

>>145368674
She was an amnesiac out of her time and then she finally finds evidence of herself before the accident, and it's literally telling her "never forget who she is". Also it doesn't help young her was a sweet bubbly optimist and now she's a bitter cynical alcoholic.

To make things worse she eventually snaps out of it but then realizes it's for naught because everyone is dead or old and her only friends are on the bebop. And one is about to run off to die for no goddamn reason.

>>145370053
Man
Being Faye is suffering.

>>145367147
>>145368674
She's lost everything she had before, and time moved on without her. She had friends, a family, a home, belongings, and hope for the future. She didn't even have her memory.

When I first saw that episode I was about 24. I was in a similar situation as far as the "things moved on without me" stuff goes, I mean at 19 had just left my town after high school, found a shit job in a shit city, and got a shit apartment. I was a stupid rebel, who didn't want to stay connected to a town I didn't care about, I was the kind of loser who didn't have many friends anyway. After a while I forgot (not literally, of course) who I was, who my friends and family were, and what I wanted in the past. Watching that episode made me tear up and think for a long while, and I called my parents for the first time in years. My dad picked up the phone, and after a few minutes I found out that my mother had died in the meantime. Times moves on, and when you get older you might lose sight of things that should be important. I'm 32 now, and more connected to my dad, but I still can't watch Speak like a Child without crying. That episode has very strong emotional power, especially if you can relate to it. If you can't relate to it yet, you should be thankful for that.

>>145370157
Being on the Bebop is suffering for everyone but Ed and that's only because she's too crazy to realize she's going to waste a good chunk of her life chasing after a man who couldn't give two shits about her because he decided to devote his life to a fucking snipe hunt.

Also I'm sure Ein has seen some shit too.

>>145370513
Aside from Spike possibly dying, most of Jet's shit is in the past. Its notable that as far as I can remember, all of the Jet episodes are about him dealing with someone related to stuff from years ago.

I mean I guess you can say that about everyone, but Jet's episodes are more nostalgic than Spike or Faye's

>>145370261
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

>>145370609

Well, Jet's an old man, so it's natural that it'd be that way.

He's really the worst off at the end, because all he wanted was people to share his life with now that his youth is over.

>>145370675
I dunno. I'd make an argument that Faye has it worse.
Jet is (comparatively) in his twilight years, Faye has her whole life ahead of her, shes like 20 something. And shes basically losing her whole life a second time here.

Of course thats all assuming Spike actually died. I mean hes survived worse injuries.

Vicious uses a gun in the flashback imagery, so it seems like the sword is an affectation he picked up after he became da boss. Maybe just to make things more challenging for himself.

>>145370609
There was that one episode with the Feng Shui girl. I'm sure that one didn't have to do with his past.

Actually, was that one even a Jet episode? I think it was, but I forget.

>>145370609
It's still kind of a shit existence.
Not to mention one of those episodes is him discovering he was crippled by his old friend. Another is running into his ex, who resents their old relationship and is with some douche.
I mean he's not as bad as Faye I guess but it's not really a happy existence.

>>145370832
I seem to remember that she was the daughter of a good friend of his, thats why he got so invested to the point that Spike and Faye thought he was into her.

>>145370844
Oh sure, life is suffering for all of them.

Damn, now Im sad

>>145366666
Quints confirms shes a slut

>>145370832
She was the daughter of Jet's old friend.
I think Jet was actually the one who convinced him to rat out the guys he was working for which "got him killed" which is why Jet was helping her out in the first place.

>>145370768

Problem with that is it seems like the series itself is an interlude between the important parts of Spike's life; between his attempt to run away from the gang and then his return to ultimately settle things with Vicious, this stuff happened. And with Spike's lines about how he basically considered himself dead already, it feels plausible that even though he got through worse in his interlude, it might have just been for the sake of dying where he was supposed to, in the fight with Vicious.

To me it's never seemed plausible to think that Spike survived that confrontation.

>>145371097
I mean thematically it makes sense he dies at the end.

But logically, he really has survived worse.
In the first vicious episode, he got shot repeatedly, slashed a couple times, stabbed near the heart, then thrown out of the top floor of a cathedral.

In comparison, in the last episode he just got shot and cut up.

>>145371436
Westerns often deal with themes of the home vs the frontier, the ending of an era of freedom and lawlessness, and the idea of the outlaw hero as opposed to the lawful one. All of which come into play in the show.

>>145366563
Why not? Because of teddy bomber?

Something about the simplicity of his character design was something I really liked. Sure he had the big hair and the short cut beard but with the trenchcoat and tie it worked out well.

I agree with you, but that's probably because there's nothing in my life, or this world in general, that I care about that much. Alot of the other anons are saying the sad part is she forgot everything. I guess that's a bit unfortunate but I really wouldn't mind it if it meant living in a world with spaceships and all that.

>>145363481
Hard Luck Woman is one of the most emotional episodes because Ed and Ein leave the Bebop.

>>145363481

So, did a lot of anons really watch this as one of their first anime or something? Because I didn't watch bebop until I had been watching watching anime until for a couple years, and I didn't start watching anime until my late teens. I mean, it was really great, but I'm wondering if I missed out on something by watching it later.

Rewatched it recently and cried four times. Once for Faye's old video tape, once when Ed left the crew, once when Faye admitted to Spike she remembered everything and had found her home on the bebop and begged him not to go die, and once, of course, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03qBqP2I4p8

No fuck you. Ed is best

>>145366303
When has Ed ever ruined everything?

>>145373268
Nope. I actually watched Cowboy Bebop last year for first time.

I actually watched Samurai Champloo before Cowboy Bebop. Cant really tell which one I like more, because Champloo fleshed out the characters a lot more. It was also a lot more organic. Bebop only really tripped up in some places with the pacing, where MAIN PLOT elements would sort of come out of nowhere. I think in the end it gives it a more lasting impact, since when Champloo ended it had a finality to it that Bebop kind of lacked

I have to agree, I really like bebop, but it felt like it just kind of stopped short instead of ending. Champloo on the other hand felt full.

There's still something vaguely magical about that first episode. I liked the whole series but the first ep just had an atmosphere to it what I don't think it ever managed to match.

He saved jazz-tranny on titan by throwing a knife which I assume suggested he always had an affinity for bladed weapons.

These seem like typical western themes to me.

Whether he did or didn't, there was a big chance he was and she didn't want that.

A lot of that is pretty common in Noir as well.

Yeah dunno how you can hate Ed

The part where Spike and Jet are just silently eating 2 servings of hard boiled eggs together after everyone else has left is just sad
