Why You Should Watch: Cowboy Bebop

I like how most of us watched it already, possibly many, many times, but we still clicked just because we want to hear someone praise it like we do

I don't know why, but I always get chills when I see that "See you space cowboy." It doesn't even really mean anything much to me but it just... it just belongs there and feels right.

My heart broke when Ed left the crew. And you can see how everything turned much more serious again from there

Spike's end was undoubtedly one of the saddest scenes in film i've seen, but i can't help but feel like it is exactly how this show should have ended. It serves as a lesson. Jet made peace with his past after confronting it, faye confronted her past and found nothing, ed returned back to her home after a long time of absence, and Spike, whose one eye was looking constantly at the past, could not escape from it, and died because of his unwillingness to let go. It is tragic, realistic, and heavy. We're gonna carry that weight.

Cowboy Bebop, or The Japanese Animation that even people that don't like Japanese Animation like.

Just to warn first time viewers of Cowboy Bebop, after the show has ended, you're gonna carry that weight.

I remember as a little kid my dad would be watching cowboy bebop after sending me to bed and when I "couldn't sleep" I'd go into the living room and lay on the couch next to my dad as he watched and fall asleep go the series. To say I have a nostalgic connection to the series is an understatement.

This show changed my life. I still remember, when I got out the army, I went to my first Anime con that Steve Blum was at, and spent a lot of money to make sure I got this special pass, that allowed me to go to a bar that some guest. I remember how they did this whole announcement of the guests, and then they just opened it to hangout time, and I remember watch Steve leave the VIP area, to got to the "fan" area and talk with fans. So I lined up, my Cowboy Bebop shirt on, and waited to talk with him. I just remember walking up to him, saying "Your Spike." He said yes in the voice, and a tear came to my eye. I told him how the show changed my life being a young black man from the inner cities, and he just gave me a hug. One of the best moments of my life,and it's all thanks to this show. I loved the music, I loved the visuals, and I loved the story. I still hold it as my favorite show of all time, and it ranks up there with the 86 transformers movie. (long stoy) I know this is many years late, but thank you for this video.

Oh man, as someone who just finished rewatching Bebop this is absolutely perfect timing. You are KILLING it, man.

This dude is really thoughtful and articulate. Just listening to him talk is interesting, you've def earned my sub

i actually prefer the animation of cowboy bebop - it feels like the characters are actually part of the environment, modern anime often feels very plastic to me

"It's about all the little scars life leaves on you, and how we're all just looking for ways to cope" Gave me chills. Kudos.

"A really pretty fry from Futurama" So just Fry from Futurama

Does anyone else think Super Eyepatch Wolf should do "Why You Should NOT" series of videos as well?

Nothing hits me harder than that "BYE BYE"

The egg eating scene and when Faye confronted Spike at the end both hit me super hard. The biggest things I got out of Cowboy Bebop were sadness and jazz, so basically just jazz.

I think I understand the point of Ed in the show Could you imagine the show without her? Cowboy Bebop would be so stressful to watch without Ed because, while everyone has a lighter side to them, the characters have such a heavy darkness and seriousness of it, they're so jaded and kind of, assholish Ed is much needed levity in this show.

You mention a lack of showing Ein's intelligence??? what about when he cracked into the nueral network that Ed had difficulty doing in a matter of seconds? In Session 23.

can we agree that the episode where spike leaves a lobster in the fridge for a year is literally one of the greatest episodes in anime history lmaoo

I wish that somewhere, in some different time, Jet came to Spike's rescue and that they and Fay are still moving around in the cosmos in the Bebop, a little wiser and a little more healed, after their respective closures, and have finally come together as a family. I wish they happened upon Ed and Ein, and that Ed and Ein walked again on the deck of Bebop. We will never know what really happened and we will always keep wishing... but I feel like I dont want to know. Somewhere in my mind, that wish has come true and I still sometimes happen to hear about their misadventures in my mind I cannot say that this is the best story of all time, I'm not qualified for that. But these people are the ones I remember most where I've forgotten many real friends. Thanks for this video! Loved every second of it.
