The first episode in Cowboy Bebop where they introduce Spike's past. One of the best episode in the series.

5/5

Finally got some insight into the opening scene from Session 1.

Vicious, huh? Still need to find out more about that whole situation. Which I'm sure will come up near the end of the series.

Help, I have a request if anyone sees this. Onegaishimasu.

Can anyone please be able to tell me the Japanese words that Vicious says to Spike at the beginning of their battle in this episode? The subtitles say "When angels are forced from heaven, they become demons." I would like to know the exact words Vicious says in this part. I would like eventually to write them in kanji for a project.

1:28 in this clip for reference.

Thanks!

The emotional impact of the falling scene would have been so much greater had the show bothered spending a few episodes fleshing out Spike's past within the syndicate. Oh well, this episode was gorgeous regardless and I hope his past comes up again in later episodes, since he seems like quite the interesting character.

When Spike fell and the music started playing and glimpses of his past were shown was perfect.

Best episode so far.

Hopefully the rest of the show is more like this and less like 1-4

Finally starts to move the real plot. The narrative does regret the mediocrity that runs today. It is not nostalgia, but the facts. Directed, drawings, script and OST; everything is divine, including the characters.

Really good episode. Blew the first 4 out of the water. The past few episodes made the series look like it might get a 7/10 but this episode bumped it up to a 9/10. Just hope the rest of the series is as good as this.

This episode was awesome!

Nice to find out some of Spike's past but not much, just tidbits of what he did before with Vicious.

Vicious was really awesome and hot too!

Shame he wanted to kill Spike though. I would've loved to have seen them team up again.

Spike in all those bandages was funny! and Faye's reaction when he said she sung off key, totally got a crush, it's cute :3 <3

This episode is often described as animated perfection; but what makes it so? Most people I talk to think it is climax of the episode; all of it leading up to Spike's life flashing through his mind as he falls out the window to Green Bird. I really enjoyed how the conflict between Jet and Spike constantly reset the tension throughout the episode, the way Faye goes from being carefree and displaying beauty to being concerned and displaying fear at the introduction of Vicious, and the return to normality shown when Spike teases Faye and she beats him with a pillow which makes Jet smile at the conclusion of the episode. I find myself feeling a lot of different things when I watch this episode and I enjoy revisiting it similarly to how I would go see an old friend.

I'm aware there are shows which have done this, but I haven't stumbled upon them yet. And this one, Cowboy Bebop, finally delivered the fulfillment to my hope, to my dream. To at least once in a lifetime to see how "drop your gun" situation plainly ends up with one side just shooting unexpectedly. Love you, Spike.

Because she found him after he fell, brought him home, and bandaged him up, and his only comment was to tell her she sings off-key. She was probably hoping for some kind of thanks, and she probably also wanted to tell him thanks for coming to rescue her, but instead he was Mr. Too Cool for That as always.

Plus she was genuinely concerned about him, and if you've ever spent hours worried sick about someone only to find that they were fine the whole time, you know how that worry turns into anger really quickly. Think of a kid who stays out playing way too long, and when they get home their parents are all "Where were you? I was worried sick! DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN" That's kind of what it's like.

Thought the series was alright but I just couldn't see why people love it so much. Now I understand. If every episode from here on is like this, it's definitely a 10/10.

So we get some backstory on Spike, nothing specific though. Bunch of ambigious flashbacks. Else there wasn't much to see except for Faye's cleavage.

The church was such a great setting, from the first shot with the birds flying all around it to the gunfight to the fall.

Also I like how jet's trying to work on his bonsai trees while Spike is fighting

Not my favorite episode so far, but it did seem more important story-wise. Got a bit of info on Spike's past, and a new villain who is (presumably) not dead. And of course, the episode ended with an amusing joke and a callback to earlier in the episode.

So we got some glimpses into Spike's past where Vicious was his partner in whatever they were doing before. Wonder who the blonde woman is and what does Spika owe Mao Yenrai. I liked the song played in the church.
