This is the worst episode by far. It felt totally out of place
I bet you like K-on
Most people on /a/ think it's the best of the show.
I don't care for it much.
>>136125997
shut the fuck up
>>136126145
>not liking K-ON!
I bet you like having gay sex (with men) lmao
5 stars post OP
You really got us good here with your controversial opinion!
>>136125997
Boogie Woogie Fen Shui was worse.
Toys in the Attic was the worst.
>>136126213
>Toys in the Attic was the worst.
How could you say that
>>136125997
It was good on its own.
>>136125997
8/10 bait OP, nice work.
The ending fucked with me a lot.
>>136126213
Boogie Woogie Fen Shui and Pierrot Le Fou are my two least favorite but I love toys in the attic.
The best one is Mushroom Samba, the worst one if Jupiter Jazz.
>>136125997
*best
>Best episode
>Shit
Is this nigga serious?
>>136125997
This was one of my favorite episodes. Most memorable episodes where Pierout Le Fou, Toys in the Attic, and Mushroom Samba.
Cowboy Funk, Jupiter Jazz and Speak like a child were the only decent episodes of this show
it was a good episode, but I do agree that it felt kind of strange when compared to the other episodes
maybe the villain just was too strong
Yep, it was the shitest by far
only complete edgelords like that episode
I like all the episodes.
>>136127190
>calling others edgelords
>while posting Butcher shows
>>136127387
I'm with you *except* for Toys in the Attic. I can't see the appeal, no matter how I try. It just seems like an excessively long and tense build-up for an average punchline.
>>136126198
>lmao
Fucking kill yourself
>>136127653
It has suspense, horror and a feeling of dread and isolation.
All the bad stuff is eventually cleared up with a lighthearted, soothing but still somewhat uncertain ending.
The whole joke is never the punchline, anon.
>>136125997
If you think that's out of place you really didn't understand cowboy bebop.
Also mushroom samba best episode
>>136128001
I understand that, but it felt like a let-down in some aspects. You're gearing up for something truly bizarre/monstrous, and it's just the fridge. I can appreciate the suspense and such on its own, but I can't quite appreciate it within the context of the episode's entirety. You understand what I mean?
>>136125997
I've never had the urge to watch Sympathy for the devil more than once.
>>136126213
I can agree on Boogie Woogie Fen Shui. But man, Toys in the attic is one of the best ones.
>>136125997
My most rewatched seriesMy least favorite episode is Mushroom Samba
But that was the second best episode, with the best being Ballad of the Fallen Angels
>>136128483
Shit taste.
its one of the few things I remember about the series after having watched it only once
the abandoned carnival in space or whatever set the tone of the whole show, this was not a story that took place entirely in the normal real world
in fact I thought that was a major aspect of the narrative, the idea that a person can make decisions that permanently cut them off from normalacy, and that is inherently sad
Honestly, I barely even remember CB. At all.
>>136128559
I liked Jet episodes the best.
>>136128681
Did you actually like Boogie Woogie Fen Shui?
Cowboy Funk was worse.
>>136125997
Either you accidentally mistyped the word "best" or you're a complete and total faggot.
>>136128732
Yes and I liked Black Dog Serenade the best of his episodes.
>>136128738
Over the line.
>>136128732
It's a good episode, I really liked Jet.
Brain Scratch is the worst one.
>There are people on /a/ RIGHT NOW that liked Boogie Woogie Feng Shui
The one with Andy was GOAT
>>136129069
Don't you mean "Bugi Ugi Funshei" ?
>>136129069
Your autism is showing.
Speak Like a Child is the best episode, by far.
>>136129335
In comparison to the rest of the show, it's a dull episode. The music's nice, but that's par for the course.
>>136129396
Maybe.
>>136125997
HELLO
BOY
>>136129396
Faye episodes were the ones that depressed me the most.
>>136128483
Are you me?
People are forgetting that most of the episodes in Bebop are tributes to many movie genres and directorial styles, noir, black exploitation, horror, Sergio Leone's Spaghetti westerns, John woo shoot'em ups, and Akira Kurosawa.
>>136128483
Man, this animation sure hasn't aged well.
>>136126213
Toys in the Attic is great. Have you ever seen Alien?
>>136125997
> out of place
> in Cowboy Bebop
>>136130384
There is nothing wrong with the animation of that scene.
>>136130384
Shit gif quality aside, I don't see anything wrong there.
>>136130425
Exactly.
>>136125997
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI1XDWFdXZQ
I loved that scene
>>136125997
It's a contender for worst episode, but it's still good.
>>136125997
Yeah, it is the only episode that I disliked
>>136128327
I opened the thread to say this. I've been tempted just to see if I still felt nothing for it years later, but never enough to actually bother.
>>136130703
Fuck you, it may be entry level but it is still good.
>>136130384
What are you talking about?
Seems on par if not better than most anime now, and it's just some random chewing.
>>136126198
>>>/habbo/
>>136128327
Worst episode, had to google the name just to remember how much I didn't like it.
>>136127936

>>136126213
Spike episode is a good episode nigga.
>>136125997

>>136125997
>most unique episode with the best direction
>worst episode
Kill yourself /v/My favorite episodes are Teddy Bomber and the one where they look for a VCR
>>136128327
Must be a pretty bad episode because I can't recall it even after googling it.
>>136133655
>the one where they look for a VCR
loli Faye was really cute, do people like Faye anyway?
>>136133655
VCR episode is fantastic
>>136134400
>loli Faye was really cute
Agreed, and her voice was adorable in like five languages too.
>do people like Faye anyway?
I haven't met anyone yet but I'm sure they're out there.
>>136134642
I really like Faye, in great part because of Rei's VA though.
>>136134724All the times I've rewatched it, I've never once watched it subbed.
>>136134859JP Spike's voice is weird.
>>136134859
I'm not sure if Ed's funny speech is bearable in other languages
>>136134945
Ok, now that's just plain shit taste.
>>136134945
>Togusa, Kaji, Ryouga
>Weird
Doesn't get much more bias than a toonamifag.
>>136135082
>weird = bad
He sounds like a totally different person.Ideally, Spike would have a lower voice than either of them
Cowboy funk and Sympathy with the devil were my favorite episodes.
>>136135136
>Toonamifag
I watched Bebop subbed first because I thought it was boring when I was a kid and never watched it.Partially because I hated anime when it was airing on Toonami.Also, I've only seen a handful of episodes dubbed, most notably The Real Folk Blues Parts 1 and 2, and Asteroid Blues
>>136125997
He just wanted to party
Whaaat. Mushroom Samba and Toys in the Attic are GREAT. Same with Cowboy Funk (Andy episode?). Best non-plot episodes.
Why is Spike always getting his ass kicked? Even Andy Andy outfights him.
>>136135886
Spike beats Andy though
>>136136122
Gravity defeated Andy.
I know i'll probably get shit on for saying this but I think all the episodes are god tier compared to most any other series I've seen. Boogie Woogie Feng Shui I didn't think too highly of when I first watched it but on a second viewing it's still better than most other shit out there.
Toys in the Attic is based as fuck
Can't believe anyone hates it
Which was the one with the Dyke Lady?
That one was pretty meh
>>136130384
This is Lightyears better than today's crappy animation we see in Modern Anime
You have no idea what you're talking about
>>136137796
Heavy Metal Queen was great faggot. Well, actually, you're right. It was okay. But I liked it.
>>136137876
Spike holding his breath in space and using his gun to move around really upsets me.
Posting best episode
>>136137972
Heaven forbid an anime doesn't strictly adhere to the laws of physics
>>136128836
Same, Black dog serenade and Ganymede elergy was excellent.
>>136137972
>Spike holding his breath in space
Yeah you're supposed to exhale.
>using his gun to move around
What's wrong with this? Do the shot bullets not have enough force?
>>136138398
I'm not sure about the second.
>>136135136
Shut up, Kelsey.
Hard Luck Woman is the best episode period
>>136138149
Andy's theme is based as fuck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaKH9bywzgQ
>>136126213
I only dislike Toys in the Attic because literally every time I happened to have the tv on and saw "oh hey, Bebop", the episode was Toys in the Attic.
I didn't see the whole series myself without torrenting it
>>136134337
The one with the kid that's been alive for 100 years
>Sunrise let the director of Bebop make the show about literally anything he wanted as long as it had spaceships as a big part of it
What studio would ever say this today?
>>136138982
i dunno, Bones? Madhouse?
>>136134945
I think Spike's JP voice works. It's a completely different type of voice from Blum but both fit the character really well.
Cowboy Bebop is one of those extremely rare shows where I think both the Japanese and English voices are amazing, but for entirely different reasons.
>>136134859
I honestly prefer the sub over the dub, but I have Japanese parents so I'm biased.
>>136139034
This, a rare occurrence where both Japanese and English voices are good.
>>136139144
It's because they each brought something different.
The Japanese audio was all big names, people who were at the top of their game and we got the result of that.
The English audio, at the time it was dubbed, was filled with a bunch of nobodies. But the voice direction was so good that it got great performances out of all of them.
>>136131475
wat is this 2005
Remember when Cowboy Bebop was fresh and hadn't been completely run into the ground by Cartoon Network?
>>136139696
It's the reason Outlaw Star is more fondly remembered in some ways. It was rerun like maybe twice and then they let it go.
Also it helps that it was just a nice space adventure story
>>136139696
Its as fresh as your approach to it man.
I bet you think Death Note is bad for the same reason
>>136125997
I agree OP.
>>136138457
A firearm can propel a human in a zero-gravity environment. It can even work on the moon
>>136139797
Death Note is bad for unrelated reasons.
>>136125997
The purpose of the series was to go through a variety of cinematic tones and influences, which differ in each episode. Some reference noir, some reference Hollywood, some referenced Hong-kong action, some did classic westerns and french films, and/or sci-fi.
Then there's the ones that did a mix of these things.
>>136125997
hello boy...
>>136128327
>>136131027
>>136131925
Seriously? Because that was one of the most memorable, to me. It had an interesting villain, a couple of good procedural twists, and the final shot of Spike putting the last bullet into him with the African drums in the background was amazing.
Maybe some people don't like blues
I always find Jupiter Jazz to be pretty boring on rewatches, but I feel it had some some great moments between the two parts. I forget the episode name, but the one with the junk yard owners who fix up one of our modern shuttles is usually the one I least look forward to.
>>136140604
Wild Horses? I fucking love that ep.
Smh senpai
>>136137190
>I didn't think too highly of when I first watched it but on a second viewing it's still better than most other shit out there.
I felt the same way about Brain Scratch when I was younger, but now it's one of my favs.
>>136139918
I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!!!
>>136140808
Yeah, that's it. I don't dislike the episode, but I just don't get excited for it like I do pretty much all of the others.
>>136130321
>People are forgetting
More like most /a/ fags just watch anime and only anime.
>>136140107
I'd say it's overall the best episode between the visuals, music, and story. Also Thompson Contender is best gun.
>>136140107
It also added to the world building.
>>136138722
Andy is based as fuck tho
Boogie-Woogie Feng-Shui and Stray Dog Strut are the two lowest rated episodes on IMDB.
Pierrot le Fou is the third highest rated episode, only below The Real Folk Blues: Part 2 and Ballad of Fallen Angels.
>>136141607
That's a shame. Stray Dog Strut wasn't really exceptional or anything (by far one of the least "artsy" episodes), but Want It All Back is one of my favorite Bebop tracks and Ein was cute.
I still like Boogie Boogie Feng Shui, but opinions are opinions
Meh. This episode was pretty average looking back at it.
Why does everyone think its amazing again?
The episodes that actually deal with Spike coming to confrontation with his past always felt like a completely different show.
>>136128327
Somehow the first time I watched Bebop I missed this episode so it was a nice surprise to see a new episode the second time around, even if it wasn't the best.
>>136141721
They also had some of the wonkiest dialogue of the series. Seriously, Ballad of Fallen Angels was one of my favorite episodes as a teen but on rewatch I have to roll my eyes. Especially that fucking Spike/Vicious confrontation.
Who would win?
Appledelhi or a disarmed Pierro?
>>136141868
That window scene though
>>136142013
Based dad always wins. Should have just brought him to take on Vicious, then Spike would be alive.
>>136142025
Oh it had some great scenes visually, just not writing so much.
>>136139125
I like the dub because the changes to the script were tasteful. They localized it a bit to give it flavor but they didn't overdo it and make it corny like the Baccano! dub.
>>136126145
>not liking K-On
I bet you're real excited for the SAO movie huh
>>136125997
Heavy Metal Queen is the only fault of the entire series.
>>136144541
>Heavy Metal Queen
>Bad
I dislike your opinion.
>>136144631
It was meh-tier, at least by the standards of the show. Gateway Shuffle, Sympathy for the Devil, Wild Horses, Boogie Woogie Feng Shui, Brain Scratch, and maybe Stray Dog Strut are all at that roughly same level of quality. Still good, and those episodes do have some great little bits in them, but they're not as outstanding as the others.
>>136125997
>Not liking how Perriot was so overwhelmingly terrifying that Spike showed fear for his life for the only time in the series
>people seriously don't think Brain Scratch is the best episode
>>136145300
Then what would you call how he felt about the fridge?
>>136145322
He was shaken up a bit but then went back to treating it as more of just a problem than a threat.
I really liked the glass eye foreshadowing.
Is it just the number of times I've watched it getting to me, or is Asteroid Blues a little weird? Like some of the dialogue is a bit odd, and there's that shot of the girl at the end where it just zooms in on her unmoving face and it goes on a little too long, it just seems strangely directed at a few points.
>>136145365
How was it foreshadowed? I don't recall.
>>136145462
It was used later on, if that counts.
>>136145319
I like how despite the overall seriousness of the episode, Ein just inconspicuously did his data dog thing. It implies that Ein isn't a joke-- he really is a magic mathematically inclined corgi.
>>136145462
>cat in Pierrot's testing facility has glass eye
>seeing or hearing anything similar to that cattriggershim, like when the cat toy goes off and he unloads lead into it while freaking out
>the final standoff between him and Spike has a ton of lights with the parade coming, and the two of them staring right into each others eyes
>one of the lights glints off of Spike's glass eye and freaks Pierrot out, causing the opening that leads to his death
All of it visual, not a single word spoken about either the cat or Spike having a glass eye. Really impressive visual storytelling, something most anime are still really bad at.
>>136145644
Damn, I never even thought about that. Though I thought the cat was just heterochromatic, since that's really common in cats.
>>136145644
Spike Spiegel is literally the only character I've seen with an artificial eye not take it out and fuck with it at least once.
>>136145748
I got the impression that his replacement wasn't the kind of replacement you did that with.
>>136145713
I don't think any cats have purple sclera.
>>136145880
Guess I just forgot about that.
>>136145880
right, like this. Irises can be different, but sclera can't, which I think was supposed to be the hint
>>136145319
this
>>136125997
Please note that all the episodes are based on movie genres.
We had a blaxpliotation episode and you are complaining about "out of place"
>>136146153
Mushroom Hunting was merely outsiders view of a blaxploitation movie.
>>136146245
does that make it any better?
>>136138398
>Do the shot bullets not have enough force?
Pistol recoil would push a man about a fiftieth as much as was shown.
>>136146295
Are you trying to imply that Blaxploitation is an inherently bad genre? Because the only thing better than a Blaxploitation movie is a self-aware homage.

>>136146412
taste
Ganymede Elegy always gives me the most feels.
Jet's character arc was the best on the show.
>>136146412
I'm saying that having a series where there wasn't that much black people in a medium where there usually isn't in a country where they are a rarity then suddenly an episode full of them, is much more stranger than the clown episode. At least in my opinion.
As glad as I am that Dandy wasn't Bebop, I wouldn't have minded a few Bebop episodes. I don't know if it would work (because none of the characters are really "cool,") but it would have been nice to see more Bebop in a different series.
I just watched the last two episodes for the first time.
;_;7 Bang.
>worst episode
>by far
get some taste
>>136125997
Woah there OP, you got the words best and worst mixed up.
>>136128327
is that the one with the stupid immortal kid?
>>136138842
>I only dislike Toys in the Attic because literally every time I happened to have the tv on and saw "oh hey, Bebop", the episode was Toys in the Attic.
You too, huh?
>>136125997
It may not have fit with the rest of the show, but it was definitely memorable.
>>136125997
We've had this discussion many times, and the consensus is that the two worst episodes are Boogie Woogie Feng Shui and Heavy Metal Queen.
>>136133655
VCR episode is top tier.
>>136151490
Was heavy metal queen the episode with the hangover cure?it works
I hated the mushrooms episode, it just felt juvenile.

So what?
I bet you're the kind of person who dislikes the Patlabor movies because they are not like the TV series.
What are the best blu rays for this? Japan or Funimation?
My sister got me the series and movie blu rays for christmas and my dad ended up watching them with me. He actually liked it and got hooked so it was fun to see a 61 year old man enjoying an anime.
>>136153338
Most people dislike the Patlabor movies because they're slow and plodding.
>>136155073
I hope those weren't Funi Blu-Rays. Those were awful.
>>136125997
Shut your fucking mouth, that was literally one of the best episodes you ignorant fuck. Though I have no idea if it was better then Brain Scratch, what a ride that was.
>>136126639
>the worst one if Jupiter Jazz.
Is that a serious opinion? I'm finding it hard to believe, to be honest. Call me biased but I think part 1 and 2 of Jupiter Jazz was one of the best stories in the series. A good excuse to post this gorgeous song, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKnVaDwUg5s
If that doesn't send shivers up your spine, you may be an invertebrate.
>>136157265
The music was good as always but I can't stand Vicious. Not saying it was bad, but it's the one I liked the least.
