| Lesson learned.Don't consume magic mushrooms.But do accept them. The sequences of Spike,Jet and Faye tripping had me rollingXD. It was fresh to see an Ed centered episode. |
 |
| This episode was pure FUN! It reminded of the first time I ate hallucinogenic mushrooms lol I just didn't see much Samba, for an episode with "Samba" in its title. |
 |
| Lovely episode, a lot more focused on the fun aspect and really light hearted ^^ Ed shows us she can clearly carry an episode by herself! |

 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| also spike going to heaven, i think it symbolises his death complex. he will die if given death as a choice |

| The entire scene of Ed and the two side characters chasing after Domino on the train left me with a huge grin on my face the whole time. |

| This episode had the potential to be the best episode of the series. Ed is by far the best character in the show, and I'm glad she finally got to have her own episode. However, as Cowboy Bebop always does, it misses opportunities, especially in this episode. While Ed and Ein were fun, it was hard to overlook the constant racism in this entire episode. First of all, the title of the episode is "Mushroom Samba", and this episode features a lot of black characters. While the characters are not drawn in a racist way, the title has the word "Samba" in it. This is important because there was a story that was made in the past called The Story of Little Black Samba, which was very popular around the world in the 20th century, and featured racist depictions of black people. This story is actually still popular in Japan to this day. This title seems to be a clear reference to that book, which is quite racist, especially considering the high amount of black characters featured in this particular episode. Second is the watermelon. It is a common racist stereotype to depict black people as eating fried chicken and watermelon, and this trope originates from the slavery days. And of course, all of the black characters are eating watermelon in this episode. While there are some other possible racisms in this episode, I think that these two are the biggest ones. A few too many things lined up like this in this episode for me to not think that there was at least a little bit of racism going on in somebody's mind here. This is what Westernization does. Westernization again caused racism, and caused Cowboy Bebop to waste even more potential. |
| Lmao this episode is so much funnier than I remember it being |
| Rest in peace Angelo Nicotra, great italian dub voice actor and met again as Domino Walker this time (if i remember he was also the villain from the film). About the episode... It never disappoints. Bad mushrooms are bad, poor main trio hallucinating like that (even the eyecatch was... wasted). This is still entertaining not just for two of the weirdest songs from the OST and especially Mushroom Hunting that is just catchy and unforgettable ("Africa, Mexico, Sicily, Tijuana, India, Osaka, Indoneeeeeesia") but also because of a great train chase and well used screentime for Ed and Ein. Forgot the final minutes, it was a relief to discover they all didn't go to jail and had finally food again on the table. Too bad Ed was the only one watching the funny Big Shot couple this time... Oh, well, the other people weren't in a clear mental condition to pay attention to begin with. |
