Final Minutes of:
Speak Like a Child.
Session #18 of Cowboy Bebop.
カウボーイビバップ
1998 Japanese anime series directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, written by Keiko Nobumoto, and produced by Sunrise. All material is the property of their respective owners.
“You’re not perfect, but you got a lot to give. So remember I’ll always be cheering you on.”
I tear up every time hearing this
i love that one too. i try to remind myself of that as much as i can.
Same, good writing.
@@Fuzzelism may the moon be with you.
god dang it who put the bowl of onions right next to me!
i cried watching this episode. that message hit me so freaking hard. met this girl i genuinely fell in love with so fast and even after all this time i realize it was real.. i always told her im cheering her on and i think the reason this message hits me so deep is because i needed to hear that myself. its like seeing the child version of faye tell her future self shes cheering her on resonated with me. it can probably resonate with everyone. your inner child is cheering you on, so don't let that kid down. you're not perfect, but you got a lot to give. I love that with all of my heart and soul
The loss of your inner child can be one of the strangest sensations in human experience and this scene sums up so beautifully why even if it happens it can be ok. Somewhere no matter how alone and isolated we all feel, the child we used to be is cheering us on.
i didnt realize that those years were good times i was living in
This comment needs more attention
Sometimes I ask myself, would the younger me be proud of who I am today? And if the answer is no, it's time to change
@@jameskozy7254 I agree
Oh stop making me cry (as I laugh and cry together)
This show is truly about a group of damaged people who are existing. Not living, just existing.
And that's why it's so beatiful and sad
I was around 18 or 19 when I first watched Cowoby Beobp. Loved the show, but watching it all over again at 36 this episode hits me on a whole different level. Especially the line "In your time, I'm no longer here. But I am here today, and I'll always be cheering for you right here. Cheering for you...my only self."
Very much the same. I watched this when I was 17 or 18. I’ve rewatched the series several times over the years, but it wasn’t until this most recent rewatch (now 28) that I just started crying at this scene. I finally got what it was getting at because I’ve now had enough time in my life to where I can also relate to what Faye is going through. It’s not just about being an adult, it’s about having been an adult for a long enough time that childhood now looks so far away. It’s sad, but also okay.
I can't believe i'm f crying🤦🏻♀️
I feel alone
@@theeab1993 This is the beauty of cowboy Bebop. You watch it over and over and still learn new things about yourself.
I’m 19 right now about to be 20 soon, and watching the series for the very first time- and even this episode hit me, there’s something about looking at older pictures of you when you were younger or of others like friends or family members, and just remember the type of person you were then and who you are now, and how you had no idea what was to come in the future, it’s a strange feeling that is kinda hard to explain, it makes you feel sad yet happy at the same time. This episode did such a great job of capturing that feeling.
So long ago, Faye was probably the protagonist of a slice of life high school anime.
One that we sadly never got to see
What a weeb comment.
@@MoonlightDusk 🤦♂️ really dude? That’s all you have to say?
Just a Memory that never existed for her now. And I suppose for all of us.
@@alexandersamuseu6188 no he's just passing dumbass remarks
“You’re not perfect, but you’ve got a lot to give” This applies to every human soul on the planet. You matter.
What if I'm a serial killer?
wrong
@@simone5760Everyone has something to give, it all comes down to if you choose to give what you offer, or reject it and go down a dark and miserable road
@@_stealth_313 I agree
Not every, some people are a deficit to the community, like greedy corrupt politicians, their actions contribute to real world violence sometimes
" Am I alone, or, is there a wonderful person next to me? Well knowing me I'm sure you're causing all kinds of trouble for lots of different people.
Cuts to Spike
I'm sorry i don't mean to, but it's alright. "
Cuts to Jet. Gets me everytime...dang
Wait why does it cut to them
In those specific sentences
@@beastguillermocause they are the wonderful people next to her :)
@@notfamous221 and the ones shes causing all the trouble for I.E paying the shipping fees and going on the hunt for the beta player.
Hands down the most tender, emotional scene I've ever come across in any animated series.
The saddest thing in life when you realize that your inner child died long time ago. The most uplifting thing in life when you realize you can ressurect them by giving love towards yourself.
When died all that good expectations and trust in other people
Faye's cheer at the end can be interpreted in two ways.
1. "Don't lose, me!"
What Faye probably intended when she first recorded this, she was just cheering her older self on through the struggle of being a grown-up.
2. "Don't lose me!"
Faye lost her childhood innocence after she was cryo-frozen and had over 300M in debt shoved onto her. In other words, she lost the innocent little girl in her when she turned to a life of crime. Hearing this cry from her past tears her up because she realizes she's already lost herself, and she can't even remember what it was like to be that innocent little girl anymore.
Thought about this, but the original script is Japanese. Don't know if the double entendre works in the original or was an addition of the American dub.
I haven’t seen this in years
@@AlbertBalbastreMorte exactly
It’s all subjective anyway. That’s what I love most about Cowboy Bebop. Everyone interprets scenes in each episode differently taking away little lessons and meanings from the character’s dialogue, but universally we all come together feeling nostalgic and melancholy about the series as a whole.
True it's like your younger self tells you everything will be okay ☺️
This has to be one of the most devastating scenes I’ve ever seen
Everyone in the comments is talking about losing their inner child but no one's mentioning how Faye forgot literally everything pre cryogenic state. Like, this scene hits hard because its the only tangible thing that shows she even existed before that, what she was like before. She woke up from cryogenic sleep with nothing but her first name and yet somehow, 77 years later, she was able to find this one 2 minute video that gave her a glimpse into the past and showed who she once, what was deprived of her.
I remember when it was first shown in Adult Swim, a poster in a message board I joined posted that her mom accidentally watched this ep with her, just to see what exactly anime is, then the mom just broke down crying watching this part....
Yeah that sounds about right. Cowboy Bebop is a tragedy that only really adults will get. It might be a cartoon but it's not really for kids.
,.... Pft, that history feels just too convenient.
I'd bet a quarter my salary that's a typical "Attention Bait Comment" (an ABC in short terms)
Not cause It's a Cartoon doesn't mean It's for kids. It's such an easy basics in modern art, and i wonder when will people ever get it 😔
@@VixXstazosJOB You typed that out imagining you were some hot shit
In an anime series that had so many hard-hitting episodes and moments, this one actually hit the hardest. Faye can't remember the little girl in the video. She's lost.
It hits me harder every time.
"Don't lose me!"
Fuck! Tears! Every single time.
I feel like the level of sincerity in this scene is what separates good media from truly exceptional works of art.
A lesser series would've had Spike and Jet laugh at how dorky Faye used to be, but showing their stunned faces in silent disbelief was really powerful to me.
That cut to Spike and Jet's faces as young Faye on the tape says, "Knowing me you're probably causing trouble for lots of people." is as emotionally sharp as a TV series could be. Just a quick and simple cut speaks to incredible lengths in which one character has affected others, made all the more powerful because its coming from the past. It didn't matter how the tape ended up in their possession. The past finds a way. It doesn't go away in the rear view mirror, its always along for the ride in life, like a passenger.
This just hits me so hard. It hits me so viscerally. I didn't know I was gonna relate to Faye this much. It hurts my heart in the worst way possible.
me too, life waits for nobody
It’s been 10 years since this was uploaded. This scene never fails to turn my tear ducts into raw fleshy fountains.
I wonder if the uploader remembers their message? Maybe they don’t even recognize their self ten years ago.
Because we are getting old* I’m 30 next year and I was 9 years old when I first watched this
Always cheer for yourself don’t forget where you came from
The reactions of the crew are what make this scene so heart wrenching. They like to keep each other at arms length and pretend to not care but you can see from their expressions that they’re really affected by the tape.
And Faye, she’s such a well written character because her entire act as an adult is a bravado to protect herself, to keep moving forward based on her circumstances- but even she’s paralyzed by seeing the part of her that’s vulnerable and loving, because she can’t connect to that part of her anymore.
Faye is my favorite character because I relate to her so much. I feel like I’m going though life with the real and vulnerable me buried into oblivion, to the point where I simply cannot reach her anymore. Because what else can I do? And just like in the end when Faye opens up to Spike about how she feels, he still leaves.
Spike didn’t leave. He had his own journey to finish that he was bearing weight from.
All along he was wandering around lost like his crew and they found their closure and he needed to find his. She understood what he was doing yet didn’t want to lose what she realized what was most important to her with her newfound sense of purpose and understanding.
Faye wanted a home to go to since she was like a lost child and felt safe and secure amongst the Bebop crew yet when she finally has herself together, she is left to bear witness to a fate she had endured before yet knew she couldn’t stop what was happening otherwise she isn’t giving others the peace she found in herself
Makes it even more profound of how Bebop and the characters (including Faye) are.
the fact that this is the only video on this channel, and the channel's name is "a message to myself" sent me from choked up to totally losing it for some reason. It's been 10 years since I sent this to my old best friend. I don't know if she knows I'm still cheering her on...thanks for the stroll down memory lane :)
@Jackson Hill honestly, all in all, so much different than who i was when i posted that message! the last time i spoke with that friend was 2010, so 10 years, and they're married now and we diverged so far from who we were, me moreso, that it almost feels like that part of my life never even happened. i've grown to understand love and friendship as a far more complicated thing, and we coveted each other but didn't know how to truly love each other. i'm not necessarily happier, but i'm far better, far more honest, and in much more truly caring and healthy relationships than i was back then, and i hope she is too. i'll always hope she is happy somewhere. but it's no longer painful to look back at that loss. i'm grateful for it now. i am where i'm supposed to be, and i bet she is too.
@Jackson Hill yeah thanks for asking! Ask me again in another 7-10 years!
Haha I'm so glad there was a follow up.
Thanks to both of you.
I hope I stumble back to this.
@@makotophoenix19 it's great to know that you came back after those years, I'll try my best to comment in a few years time
Wow, its rare to see a 7 year old commenter still respond, caught me off guard lmao
This is the BIGGEST scene in the show itself.. it's simply .. SCARY in SO many volumes..
I find it so weird that not only do a lot of people seem to forget their inner child, but they actively try to burry it for some reason. People who repaint and decontextualize their own childhood to view themselves as different than they really were.
Because it's the only way we can survive.
@@IoiniEverson well said.
@@IoiniEverson sometimes, I can't remember nothing but glimpses when I was a kid, and my parents often asked me how it was, even when it was a good day, I hardly said much. I have a brother who is 8 years older than me, that when to college and left me an only child at around 9 for 10 years (he also went to Japan for 6 years as a teacher), and I most of the time wanted to know what Ian was up to, almost as much as I wanted to still be a kid for when he arrived while trying to do something good in my life. I didn't think that would my parents probably had the same curiosity on how my day was; my dad was raised on a farm and lived with a jerk of an older brother (he was always an old man since he was a kid), and my mom didn't have such a good childhood either with her parents divorcing when she was young, her mother remarried to man in the Army (that my mom loves as an additional father) and moved to a couple different states.
I was privileged enough to have parents that stayed together and that stay in one town while me and my brother were growing up. I never thought that the reason to ask me how I was my day isn't just because they cared about me, they wanted to make sure I turn out okay and they could understand even more about kids.
Sorry for the whole thing, like this episode, it's just a lot to think about.
I'm 21 now and I never knew I'd end up feeling as hopeless as I do today. I've been thinking a lot about my childhood, and how even though I had some issues growing up, those days are still the best days of my life. When I get depressed and feel like giving up, I'll just think back to that little bright eyed boy who embraced the world with open arms, and I'll try to make him proud.
Even the worse days only last 24 hours, never forget that, there’s always an opportunity for change, for improvement, you’re 21! that’s so young, you still got a long road ahead of you, stay strong and achieve what you want in life or obtain what you want in life, our thought process changes over the years, and we start seeing things differently, so the current you feels depressed but the future you could be the happiest person ever, it just depends on your actions now, something as small as going for walks can be so beneficial to our health, but anyways I hope your situation improves man, and remember you’re still so young, we now know how fast the years go, so let’s take advantage of that fact, now that we moved on from being teens to now young adults.
If you're interested in analysis and psychology or philosophy, I recommend these channels/people for their insights and tools; Therapy in a Nutshell (Emma McAdam), Healthy Gamer (Dr K), Academy of Ideas, Brene Brown, Gabor Mate. You might also be interested in personality tests like MBTI (pseudo science) and Enneagram (science). I wish I'd heard the ideas from these sources back when I was 21. I would say that with age comes perspective and to some extent, wisdom, if we pay attention.
I'm 27... nearing 28 in a couple months.... And this I feel the same way. For how flawed I felt in my youth.... I still feel myself clawing back to that.... but I can't fully go back to that now... I just need to keep going on...
@@aMiyafujiI’d say the thing you’re looking for in your past self despite how flawed you were is that spirit you had, the spirit that nothing could beat you down, the feeling that you’d embrace the world with open arms.
The line "Don't lose me" will always hit hard for me.
“Am I alone or is there a wonderful person next to me?”
*Cuts to Spike*
😭😭
Lol
I get the point of your comment, but your intención psychologically confuses me. The main point of your comment is no reason to cry, at least she's in good company
It cuts to Spike and Jet, which I think helps show how Faye isn’t alone, and essentially has found those wonderful people, and that she isn’t alone
@@_stealth_313 I think it's also more "Knowing me I'm sure you're causing all kinds of trouble for lots of different people". She was a nuisance to the both of them.
I can't imagine as the characters how earth shattering it felt to watch that
@@_stealth_313they don't even care about each other 💀
Jesus Christ. I'm 30 now and weeping at this. 10 y/o me did not get it yet.
Your not alone
This show hits harder the older I get. It's never the same every time I watch it.
I honestly believe that even if 10 year old you didn't get it, 10 year old you old you felt it.
@@bluewolf8873 10 yr olds havent lived long enough yet. Prolly teens wouldve felt this more
@@ianlulu you know you're right. 10 year old me was more infatuated by the fist and gun fights
This is a message for all the younger generation out there never let your inner child just fade away it's the most important thing you got society will push you to be an adult to go to college to get a job to live a simple life but deep dowb the best years of your life is when you were a teenager or a child you were always happy for no reason so don't let that go
it would be such a huge mindfuck, being asleep for decades, finally waking up into the far future then seeing this tape of you as a child before that moment, could feel fayes pain
And then being in debt immediately ☠️
Probably the best scene I've ever seen in any show or movie. I think most of people can ,in a way, relate to Faye in the sense that most of us lose that child inocence, and optimism in life. Once we are older, time has passed, things have happened and we can barely recognize that child anymore. To me, this scene captures that whole idea and feeling perfectly. Just a masterpiece of a scene.
Despite I'm not that old, the fact that I'm so different from my 10 years ago-self (for bad), just devastates me
@@Deceptinerd1995there’s always time to change, that person is still there.
i dont know if anyone ever will read this considering it's in a sea of 300 comments, but ive never teared up to anything, at least since i was a toddler, until this fucking episode. i don't know what it is, the childlike innocency or the honest cheering, something about it really gets the waterworks going. I dunno what else to say, phenemonal episode, phenomonal series.
It reminded me that faye is more than "cool hot woman do cool shit"
I can count on one hand the number of times I've watched this scene without crying.
I can technically count it on zero hands
Same
As an adult, in therapy, who had an abusive parent, as someone who tried to forget, remembering can hurt but it can also heal
10 years ago... Time is an unstoppable and very fast thing, so don't waste it, because one day you'll be looking at this very day as the past, thinking "Oh, man, it's been so long." But whether you will be satisfied or disappointed with the period of your life between that moment and the present depends on you. Good luck everyone!
P.s. and remember: you're gonna carry that weight.
My boyfriend and I just got into a terrible accident, I broke both of my legs and had many injuries. He died. I definitely feel like Faye in this scene just trying not to lose myself. Life has been so hard but I remember this scene from being a kid.
I'm sorry for your loss and hope you're doing the best you're able to.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Just remember that I, the above commenter and I'm certain many others in your life are cheerimg you on.
Youre gonna carry that weight
You might not see this but I hope life has treated you well ❤️🩹
@@daviddenton1934 She didn't eat him.
No scene will ever hurt me as much as this
I think this is the scene that propelled Cowboy Bebop to prestige. Absolutely jaw-dropping. The most pivotal moment in the whole show, in my opinion.
The fact that this is now 10 years since this was uploaded feels kind of special.
Everyone needs to see this episode, the buildup to this specific part is just...the best I've seen in Anime.
all my life i could hardly remember any of my childhood, til this day i cant. man when she says "i cant remember" i dont know if ill ever not cry like a baby. i wish so badly i could remember any of the places i had lived in or what my bedrooms had look like, i know somewhere inside me, im still cheering myself on, at least i tell myself
I'm so sorry. May I ask what happened?
This is why we should cherish the people who care and love us whilst they are with us now, in the present. But also go fight to live the life of our dreams.
@@shahzadi.zafira__ what do you mean?
Watching this as an adult hits so much differently than when catching this as a kid on the late night block of Adult Swim. Originally I will admit I watched this thinking how silly it was that Faye would be so egotistical to send herself a message and "cheer herself on," but now as I've aged myself, you start to realize how profound of a message it is. The ideals and thought process of a child, the youthful hopefulness that you'll just be "okay" from not experiencing the world, is so innocent. At this point in the story Faye can't even remember that, and that's what makes it so sad. She only remembers the hardship of adulthood. She can't even look back on this and revel in the comforting fact that at some point she really had real aspirations and ambitions to be a better person. Even those of us who haven't lost our memories have to deal with this as we unknowingly change over the years even into adulthood. And we lose sight of the goals and ideas that we had for ourselves when we were younger; only to have to face what we've become as adults.
I hope that whatever you have become is worth what your younger self aspired to be. Even if it hasn't there's always that shadow of that young idealism that still resonates in the back cheering you on. Even if you can't remember...
I use to think her character was annoying, and didn’t really like her as a character, but until the later episodes, and especially this episode, the way I saw her before completely changed, I actually felt bad for her, and understood why she acted the way that she did.
i watched cowboy bebop as a teenager, and i liked the show but it didn't really stick with me super hard, including this scene. now its been many years since then, and i watched this randomly and it completely brought me to tears, god. sometimes i feel almost unrecognizable compared to myself back then, i miss acting like she did so much. dealing with the stress of jobs and bills and what people think about me has done sooo much damage to my brain and i just want to go back. but im thankful that this scene was able to encapsulate that feeling so well, it makes me wanna rewatch the show
She is always with you friend. Your inner you hasn’t gone anywhere, although we have all grown up and had to get jobs and go to college/university all of us still have our younger selfs in our hearts. Let us keep them alive by remembering them and honoring them. Honoring them by living life to the fullest as much as we can within our limitations
This just makes me sad for my younger self sometimes. I’m sorry, kid. I drank you away.
everytime, i cry everytime. one of the most emotionally effective scenes put to television imo. even all these years later
Sometimes we forget about the happiest memories of our childhood...
I cannot believe they cut the "good morning me, did you wake up feeling good" bit. It's literally the only thing I remember clearly from the series, aside from the real folk blues and the OST.
Who? The live action?
@@sharif47 yeah that trash.
The live action might have been fun in parts, but overall it was trash. I do admit the opening was pretty fun and good. Like the first episode I mean. Spike and jet were casted really well. Those actors did a good job, just a shame the writing sucked. Faye I was definitely not a fan of in it either. Didn't like her writing AT ALL and the acting was ok for that type of character, but since Faye was never that annoying, it just ends up be8ng infuriating.
Reminds me of when I started a dairy some 7 years ago when I was a kid. I wrote 2 or 3 pages and detailed everything about my day for the first day. Then I completely forgot about it. I found it recently and read through, the feeling is the exact same as watching this, I can't even remember what it was like to be that kid. I'm sure many of you feel quite the same
Lucky...We moved around so much since i was child, we lost my baby pictures along the way..i know it may not seem like a big issue but it makes me sad for some reason.
@@TBT707 I get u man. If it helps, when I look at my baby photos I don't remember a shred of what happened. It's pretty scary our ability to forget things, what we looked like and what went on in our lives. This show really does a good job at teaching us what's important, the here and now because the here and now is the summation of the past that we carry with us!
can’t wait to watch this ten years from now
It's OK to cry if you needto. 😢 If you don't... your life is awesome! Enjoy it! 🐧
I watched the show first as a teen. Didn't rewatch it in its entirety until 10+ years later. Was NOT ready at all for this scene.
To my younger self. Kid I’m sorry life was not kind to you. You have been hurt and I’ll always have to carry that with me as we? get older. You’ve hurt others too and that’s another thing we have to carry around. I wish someone could have loved you more then. I wished you had found your soulmate so you both could grow together and be high school sweethearts. Who knows who that could have been and in turn been my partner today my young self. We’ll never know. The biggest hug from your older self ❤
The characters going from silly and dumb to just dead panned makes it even more touching. They literally understand the feeling and probably didn't think it would be something so deep. The silence. You can feel it. This show has too many damn touching moments
I hadn't watched cowboy bebop until after my dad passed away in 2017. To this day, when I watch Speak Like a Child, when I hear faye's message. I hear both myself and my dad in it. I can't help but tear up to "Don't lose me"
As a Singaporean I’m happy that I’m getting great character representation here.
i was watching cowboy bebop, i thought it was chill, but at the time i was a little bored. After this scene, every episode hit me like a truck and I started to understand the mundane vibe of the show, and how it makes you feel like you are trapped in a story that goes nowhere, just like these characters stuck in their pasts. After this episode, it easily became my top 5 anime of all time.
As someone who’s always scared of the future and can barely live in the present this made me wanna cry so bad I’m not even that old but I can remember so many things that feel so much closer than they were
Beautiful scene. This anime is no joke, despite the jokes.
Years ago, in high school, I had a teacher (math of all subjects) that paused our usual lessons for the day and had us write a letter to ourselves in the future. Said he'd mail them to us 10 years later.
He actually kept his word and sent them. And it was such a cool thing to receive. It was weird reading tbh. Got the same feeling as this video. I wrote about the friends I had, wished my future self would still be friends with those people, and what type of person I hoped I'd be.
Very short and simple letter. I'm no longer close with most of the people I wrote about, but I did get where I wanted to be back then (though it took longer than I imagined). Whenever I think of that, I like to believe that child me is ecstatic for accomplishing what he wanted and hopefully becoming (in principle) the person he wanted to.
I hope the child inside all of you is proud of what you've all become to.
I'm supposed to not make myself cry too much, but that is probably the first time I had an extensional thought since a few months ago (after watching abd finishing Cowboy Bebop). It really makes my day honestly. If I ever do become a teacher, I do want to do the same thing. Something like that takes a lot if heart and dedication.
As a man struggling to remember anything before high school, hearing Faye's "I can't remember her" hits me like a truck. I know exactly how she felt in that moment, and I so envy her for having a time capsule recording from her child self.
Ya know....I kinda like to imagine that my own younger self is out there somewhere, cheering me on in his own way.....still wanting the best for his grown up self. Just like young Faye.
I'm so sorry for the person you ended up being lil bro....sorry the world wasn't what you thought it was. You're so strong for making it this far.....you'll always be a part of me. ❤
I wanna pull the ear of younger me and scold him! YOU STUPID LITTLE MUT, YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN THAT BOY IN CLASS IF YOU WORKED A LITTLE ON YOURSELF! ALSO STOP DENYING YOU'RE GAY, YOU ARE 100% GAY, STOP BEING A COWARD! LMAOOO..... Oh and also buy bitcoin, that's all
I cried when I first saw it, I still cry now after the 12th time seeing it. It's something I really need to hear and process. When I was a kid, I didn't like it at all, I couldn't wait to grow up. But here I am, not having any of my dreams accomplished. I often think how disappointed in myself I would've been at 12 if I could see into the future, or 10 years ago at 17. The idea that version of me just wants to see me do even better in the future makes me sob, but then I pick myself back up, realizing there's no reason I can't be as hopeful and goal oriented as I was then....
We are in the same boat. Just keep doing your best
@@Y650-Y 🥲Surely! Likewise!
1:46 is such a weird, great moment. Technically, the guys don't know this girl, but she's saying to them what Adult Faye really feels, but would never actually say to them.
One of the great things about bebop is how profoundly relatable it is. Makes you think about your own life and past. Never been touched so deeply by a show before, thank you cowboy bebop.
This scene always gets me in my feels, it's so powerful.
BTW the piano song at the end is Poor Faye
i’ve been seriously struggling with the fact that i cannot go back to those fun times and childhood wonders… it scares me. this was hard to watch, i was not expecting this and barely remember it from the first time i watched it… i am crying so hard right now damn.
That episode had me in tears
which episode please ?
Hmm, this really says a lot to people who have forgotten or lost what was once a big part of them.
The difference is so vast that just remembering yourself in being such a way is otherworldly.
How they put it all together in this scene really shows it is a complex message with many underlying undertones within itself yet it has simplicity rooted back to a person that they have a point of self reflection and seek understanding in what was once valuable to them.
Damn this is such a great manga and anime
It was at this episode...that I knew I was watching something special
I remember being just as starstruck watching this scene as the Bebop crew. I remember being as young as Faye was in her tape and tearing up, afraid of what I might lose in the future. I am now a couple years older than Faye was watching the tape and it completely hits home now because I suppose I lost some of me along the way.
Cryin’ in da club rn
This is genuinely one of the saddest scenes in anime watching a version of urself u never knew existed talk to u like ur the same person, it’s like ur the fake and what ur seeing is the actual u.
"Don't lose, me!" became "Don't lose me."
I will always come back to this clip during my lowest moments. Sucks that Faye ended up losing her homeboys in the end.
This is one of the most sadest anime scenes ever. It also proves that it does not need much, just a "good" idea.
I'm watching through Cowboy Bebop for the first time, I just finished this episode and I couldn't help but cry. I feel like I've lost that younger me who was so happy and hopefull. But watching this reminds me that past me is still cheering me on and that I still have time to reclaim that part of myself.
The silence from the crew speaks volumes
such a beautiful concept and scene. once you see it you never forget it.
this show is so deep . I feel like a lot of people discredit or dont give it a chance because it is animated .
I saw this video at a very low point in my life rewatching cowboy beebop i gave myself 10 years to see if things would change they did and to everyone who went through depression good morning and remember ill always be cheering you on
Always one of the most important scenes in that show
This wont be the last time you've been here
Who is cutting these onions. I’m drowning in tears
At 1:54 : "knowing me , i'm sure you're causing a lot of troubles for different people. I'm sorry i didn't mean to. But that's okay, that's part of life too" and you see a shot of the other characters. Not only it's true, but it's the définitive proof it's actually really her. Even if she lost everything, this part of her never changed : even as a kid she had the careless part of her wich became the most part of her adult self
This episode was pretty depressing to watch especially when it showed faye's past it's really heartbreaking and that nostalgic feeling you get is powerful.
I feel like we will never understand how to make movies and shows like this anymore.. as long as we think and act like a person on a mission to challenge, accuse, and wanting to change in our favor instead of the work we present.
There is never a dry eye watching this.
It's been difficult and it's hard to recognize myself. I'm still alive and I'm sure as hell pissing people off. I still don't know about the future , never imagined ide live this long.
This scene hurt me in so many ways
This scene, and the credits of the final episode were the two parts that made me tear up.
Writters of this show had some top level quality.
this is so good it makes even grown man cry..
Best moment of the series imo and the series has a lotta great moments
I come back here every now and then to find that I, too, may have forgotten who my childish self was.
If you think about it, that kind-hearted Faye died in the accident. We're practically mourning over the loss of her because she is not around anymore and we have no way of getting her back.
this always makes me cry ,@_@,
“…cheering for you, my only self.”
Be kind to yourselves, everyone. You’re the only you you’ve got, life is short, and you deserve to be happy. ❤
This 3 minutes was the biggest payoff for what I thought was a filler episode! When she started cheering "Don't lose me", just wow. The double meaning is brilliant.
I cry every time
i wonder where this person is 10 years later, hope you are doing well
never even saw this anime but I got this recommended 11yrs later wow
Def watch it, it’s one of the best things ever filmed
I can’t watch this without crying
Imagine if we got this in the Live Action. Instead we got something crappy. Cheers Netflix.
