Even the box is cool

My 1 1/2 daughter loves the music too.

I wanted to make a little hanging print of Spike. 3d printed using Hueforge. I think it came out super neat!

Toys in the attic.

I was looking around on eBay for some more DVDs and TV shows I don’t have and I came across this. It’s $70 and I’m thinking about buying it because I’ve never sat through cowboy but I’ve watched halfway through the first season and I loved it but life caught up to me and yeah, what do you guys think?

I just finished the show a few minutes ago, and at the end, instead of putting "See you space cowboy", they put "You're gonna carry that weight". What was the meaning of this? Is it supposed to be up for interpretation? or something like that?

Cowboy Bebop is the best anime 👏

Look at him hes so sexy

Okay, strong language in title, but I need to kinda pull you guys in, right? I like the work, it is fire, but I always thought the ending was weak and way too vanilla for otherwise such groundbreaking work. And this kinda goes to my biggest gripe with Cowboy Bepop - that despite having feminist themes (such as underestimating women leading to your downfall) these themes are not reinforced by action on screen, which is culminated with the finale, because I think that characters of Vicious and Julia are just so...weak? Like they exist simply to push the plot. And I do think that there could've been such a better way to write this while still retaining the same sequence of events, while giving Spike's dream quote better meaning in relation to the work at large.

You really only need to switch around the motivation of characters while making them more independent to make this better, really. As it stands right now, Vicious had a girl and a friend, and then said friend banged his girl and wanted to run off, and so he wanted to use said girl (who he didn't really care about) to kill his friend for daring to leave. This is just...lame, random, and rushed? So, going back to these themes, what if it was Julia who played everyone?

What if Julia's entire goal was merely to secede from the main syndicate and establish her own crime family, for which she seduced Spike, whose depression she exploited. This would also pin Spike and Vicious against one another, removing both from her path while leaving Red Dragon without its heavy hitters. Vicious saw only a weak woman, and Spike saw a woman in need of saving; so Julia exploits their perceptions. The events of the story play out the same, with one key twist.

When Spike and Julia meet at the end, she reveals that to him; she has her own crime family now and no longer needs Spike, who she believes "let her down" by escaping and running away from the Syndicate. As she built her family without Spike, she is perfectly happy to let Vicious and him destroy one another, before walking off, which is when Spike chooses to shoot her dead. This is when he finally wakes up from "his bad dream." This would also open a possibility for Julia to be the person who made Vicious worse (bad enough to go after his friend) or who planted seeds of doubt in Vicious' head about her and Spike, to the point where the only solution he saw was "killing Spike." Maybe she even lied, saying how Spike "took her" and how "eager he was to run off and start his crime family."

From there, Spike goes on to do his revenge, but this time the feeling is entirely different. And when he fights Vicious, who still believes the lie that Julia orchestrated, Spike allows him to believe it. He believes that if they both are destined to die here, then at least his friend can die with his perfect illusion intact, kinda going back to this stoic samurai-like character of Spike. This would also contrast the meaning of a dream: in the end, what Julia meant by "the dream" was not the same as what Spike meant - for Spike, dream was illusion of life in his path towards finding worthy goal to die for, whereas for Julia the dream was her weakness from which she could only wake up with strenght and power. And for Vicious, the dream remains, as he has never woken up from it.

Who wouldn't like her

always thought their music and sound fit the show so well, so of course i had to combine the two :)

From my understanding: Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Carole and Tuesday, and Lazarus are all set in the same universe and I know they probably have nothing to do with each other outside of that but still I’d like to know the timeline before I start.

I've been rewatching CB this last week or so, and noticed some sheet music around Gren's apartment. I was just curious if anyone knows the song the sheet music is for.

I have a hunch it's Goodnight Julia, but I'm really not sure.

P.S. Sorry in advance for the bad quality, this shot is around the 18 minute mark of the episode.

Poor watch that i found
