Making Sense of Cowboy Bebop 

The fridge dancing in classical music is so I C O N I C

😂 gaaaaay 😂

It's been years since I last saw that scene and I still think about it. It really does say everything there is to say about that feeling without anyone saying a word.

​@@trashfire9641the laughing faces translates into questionmarks does this mean you are bi curious

@@xxrainbodkidxx5508 It's just closeted that's all. Sometimes they poke out a little, you know, to do a little hit and run.

@@NathanTarantlawriter not everything is that deep

thank you, I'm glad this came out the way I wanted. I think it's watched best after the show to kind affirm the order of events for each character.

Same! I feel like I finally understand this series

​@@socksenseiSensei, I just finished watching Cowboy Bebop today, and your video. It was an amazing summary to this amazing anime. Made me understand how deep the emotions run with every character. You've earned a sub. Thank you so much!!!

As someone who has never watched the show and was interested in watching the show and was about to watch this video, I appreciate your comment and will come back to visit later. 😂

It's very linear minus the flashbacks.. it's just it's things going on and happening between the episodes.

Watch Samurai Champloo if you haven't, captures that same magic for me.

@@Japanda92 It's on my list, for sure!

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop are top 10 anime of all time

In highschool I used the mushroom samba episode as the buildup to when we did shrooms cause when it was close to over we were almost always feeling it And then giggling as how unlike shrooms was to how the episode portrays it

​​@@Japanda92because they're both from Watanabe. I love that man, feels like I owe him big time for being allowed to watch these amazing animes.

What about a past that pushes you to excel in the present?

@@Henryfordisright that, is an entirely different story on its own

He was able to walk away from a past, but when that past came back to haunt him, the thought of a happy ending caused him to go down the rabbit hole, because he wanted to believe he could still make it happen. In a way, Julia's last words could suggest that this is the end of Spike's dream in a sense, that the thought of him ever being with Julia again is now long gone. When he disappeared, he knew she was still alive, so in the back of his mind he held onto that hope that maybe he could achieve that happiness but sadly when he took his chance, Viscous snatched it away from him. It is sad he let the past hold such a tight hold over him when he could of continued to make those new memories with the crew of the Bebop but I think Spike also understood that it's not so much he gave up. He knew that Viscous would continue to chase him, even if he went back to the Bebop crew, Viscous had already shown that he was more than willing to kill Jet and Faye, make them collateral damage. So sure, he could run away but then the past of Viscous would remain. You could say he went down a tragic hero, because it's completely plausible that he wasn't just blinded by revenge in killing Viscous but also as a means to protect those friends he had made on the Bebop. He sacrificed his own life so that he wouldn't hold back Jet and Faye who had carved their own path, while of course they would of welcomed him into the family they had made, I don't think Spike would want to live with the fear that his comrades could become targets of The Syndicate especially with the power grab that Viscous had taken.

I don't think you out grow anything. You just have more experience and try to find things that interest you. Or that's my take on my life...

@@WestSideGorilla1980 You do outgrow things, but people make a lot of fuss about it. Outgrowing something means simply... that it stops fascinating you, that you start thinking about other things instead.

i'm up for the challenge

i love this series so much

i never knew julia was with vicious, how do we know she cheated on him with spike?

He explained the Evangelion so well. Now my top 3 Anime Cowboy Bebop

This quote is even better since the definitive version of the Courier for me is basically Spike in Elite Riot Gear lol

If you haven't maybe check out Ruroni Kenshin ? I don't like a lot of anime, Cowboy Bebop was the first but I also really enjoyed Ruroni Kenshin (at least the first two arcs and the OVAs) as it deals with some similar themes.

Looks pretty cool, I'll have to check it out, but first I'm writing up one on Monster to follow this one up.

@@socksenseiyou should totally check out Eureka 7 too!

@@socksensei MONSTER EPISODE COMING UP?

​@SockSensei monster is great! A lot of plot holes and whatnot, but it's a really, really good time!

for people who have read my comment let me ask you, what did you do that was good for yourself AND people around you? More importantly are you satisfied with the amount of goodness that you bring to this world? That is a question that we must ask everyday.

Nah

did we forget to thaw him out

@@someidiotnamedtricks6397 🧊 🧊🧊🧊

hope it met your expectations

Oh get over it. This recap was amazing and you're hung up over him mispronouncing ein. I'm more upset about him pronouncing the p in coup.

sometimes its the little things

@@Wheresmy240 And I'll be upset if those pictures of Spider-Man aren't on my desk by 6 o'clock !

​But Bebop is a really shitty anime anyway, so who cares, right?

@@trashfire9641 who hurt you to feel the need to scour the comment section of a video about an anime that you apparently hate. This is like the 6th comment of yours I’ve seen just being the type of guy that doesn’t get invited to parties

what exactly were you confused about that this video helped you understand.

Nice catch, I didn’t even realize I did that lol

@@socksensei I do that all the time! Never feel bad for that ever because all it means you learned much of your vocabulary from reading and books, and that's always a good thing! :)

And the corgis name is pronounced Eye-n

that story would be a real good one to do, I'd need some time to figure out how I want to structure it, next video will be over Monster though.

You seen Samurai Champloo or Gurren Lagann? Both are very also good, imo classics like Bebop…

glad to hear it! While this show is no where near as confusing, I hope you liked this one!

I appreciate it

@@socksensei np keep up the great work 👍

True! I made a video about Spike Spiegel's origins. I created my channel just a month back, so it would be great if you could watch it and share your feedback. Thanks, and sorry for spamming.

I'll have to rewatch it and see what there is I could make a video out of, glad you enjoyed this one

I’d like to do a video on that series at some point, it’s very unique

That will be the video of the ages
