Pretty good episode.

I love how they show all of these modern ships(at least to us) are really old to them.

Maybe it was because I was pretty intoxicated, but I found this episode pretty damn intense. I thought it was so crazy he was able to catch him in the rocket ship like that. That must've been so hard. And spike, drawing measurements on his windshield... Found that part really cool for some reason. I was at the edge of my seat when his ship was burning up like that. Maybe its because I watched Interstellar recently, but I couldnt imagine hurling through an atmosphere at those kinda speeds.

Spike's attitude is just so cool and relaxed.. And his way of telling Jet he was gonna die by saying "there's a bottle of whiskey hidden behind the fridge." Surprised the kid decided to risk going on the ship to catch Spike. Thought it was really cool how he was listening to the "Blue Sox" at first and then it ties in at the end because of Jet's old technology happens to broadcast over AM/FM waves and that kid was listening. Such a smart way to tie the story in together. If not for that Spike woulda been a goner.

And as always, the music score really complements the scenes. I wish there were more anime directors as adept as Watanabe (and of course Koboyashi) to put in such a wonderfully compelling musical score. I usually dont like the traditional music scores nearly as much as a lot of viewers I see on here. I must be pretty picky or something, but I see most praise the music themes even when the animation, direction, and/or storyline itself is subpar, but I've only found a handful of series or so that really potentiate the storyline such as this anime does.

And holy. shit. preview for the next episode D; Looks fucking awesome.

Easily my favorite episode of Bebop. It's fun, funny, action packed, with terrific music and all the characters are in it.

No drama, no worries, all fun.

This little digression on Spike's past, could be much more interesting if they told us something more on the old Duhan. However, even if the narrative, can not disguise the true intentions of the plot, the screenplay and directed, along with the soundtrack, have not weigh this small defect. Drawings and animations, very good.

Wow, that ending was really fun but I never understood the relationship between the old geezer and Spike. There's not charisma there.

You know I enjoyed this episode but I have to wonder what happened with Faye, she happened to shoot at the wrong ship trying to get the hackers and then disappeared from the adventure. What was she doing while Spike was in trouble? I suppose the writers couldn't figure out something for her to do but her disappearance was just odd for me.

So the saying "Whatever happens hapens" actually comes from Spike ? I would've never guessed it. It's pretty crazy to think about the amount of sayings that actually come from fiction, and it's always fun to discover the sources.

I wasn't a huge fan of this episode, to be honest. The moments with the shuttle were pretty cool, but the rest of the episode was fairly dull.

Well they managed to land in the water. Though nothing much had transpired in this episode it was still rather intense in the final moments.

MADNESS!! This ep was a complete madness, from start to end, full of mad lads and lasses, doing mad stuff... And that's why I love this anime xD
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

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.
