It is truly well done and makes me disappointed when some people don't get the scene. Cause scenes that don't need words to express emotion are great but don't happen often cause people miss the meaning.
Considering how serious and downcast the finale is, I can see why they sent off the cute dog and precious child. Their antics would have seemed a little out of place.
@@Dotseoem yes it was but real life adult consequences (aka death) was about to happen. The show runners intentionally took the younger person of the cast out of the equation so she wouldn’t have to see that. It’s literally been talked about by the production crew before. Please do your research before commenting on a show of this magnitude
This is exactly correct and the director/creator and the rest of the production team have commented on this . Ed was still innocent, the rest of the crew wasn’t. It wasn’t her time to deal with what was about to happen
The scene when Ed and Ein left in addition to a fantastic song is one of the most emotional - heart breaking anime moments ever. In episode 9 Spike said that he doesn't like kids, animals and women with attitude. Now all of them left. When he saw ed's goodbye message he totally felt devastating on the inside and for the first time he expressed his feelings for someone else than Julia, in the scene with the eggs. Also despite the fact that Spike never totally cared for ed she didn't forget him in the end giving him that little windmill along with a smile. Also Faye's flashback about her as a little child running towards her home and the devastating look on her face when she saw that it was completely destroyed was one of the most emotional scenes in cowboy bebop as well. These last minutes of that episode will always remain very deep in my heart and scenes like these are what make this anime so special and one of the best ever.
@@AngelGroves I always break up when I see the "bye bye" on the deck. The music along with the great story just cracked me like one of those eggs they were eating.
@@VictorVonGrooove Ed gave a different aspect on the show. She was that kind of character that you couldn't dislike. I really wanted to see her with ein in new adventures in a separate season somehow.
The scene of Jet announcing dinner and then looking for Spike mirrors the scenes from the first episode. Some of the exact same shots are used. Jet announces dinner, is surprised to see Spike not there, then finds him looking out the window in the control room. The first time this happens, Spike is looking out into cold space, reflecting on the last thing Katerina said to him - "Adieu". The second time, he's looking at the words directly, and the fact that they're much more personal is visually signified by them being plastered on his own home - "BYE BYE". This is a whole show about the inevitability of saying goodbye.
It's about characters that are so fixated on the past that they can't live in the present and build a better future. They don't know how good they have it.
+Zachariah Renken, I Totally Agree with You, Friend. I am also goin' to Miss Edward and Ein Too, Friend. They Were Our Two Families We Have Loved So Much. :'-(
It’s about a bit more then that lol yes that’s one of the motifs but the show isn’t about ONE thing at all. It’s about quite a few things and that’s why so many people relate to it
Exactly. It is one of the most realistic anime ever. It focuses on people's past and their struggle to leave it behind. That's why cowboy bebop is so deep and special.
For me it had the most heart - breaking moments from all the episodes. Faye rewatching the tape, faye's look when she saw her destroyed home and that ed and ein left.
Ed is such a good character. I honestly forgot how little she was in this show. With her wild and crazy personality she definitely stole every scene she was in. I just don't know how they're gonna find somebody to have that same level of energy for the live action show.
This episode is so, so, so wonderful. It touched my soul the most, out of all the others. I started watching Cowboy Bebop when you guys started the reactions for it. I kept watching, due to it being EPIC, and I got to this episode just over a week ago. I cried; I watched it right when I was meant to in my life. So much in the episode meant so much to me. Thank you guys for introducing this show to me. It will forever be one of my favorites.
I was lucky enough to watch Cowboy Bebop during its original airing on Toonami, when I was just a teenager. After all these years, I'll never forget this ending. Call Me Call Me is one of my favorite songs in a soundtrack filled with incredible music; just hearing that opening guitar tune is enough to take me back. The images of Ed skipping through the wasteland, Faye solemnly throwing the stick away in silhouette, and Spike and Jet eating those eggs to hide their pain are forever burned into my memory. See you cowgirl, someday, somewhere!
Here we are at last. This episode emotionally wrecked me the first time I saw it. The music is solid, the images beautiful, and the dialogue very much in keeping with the series. An easy Top Five ranking from me, and one of my most watched episodes. Wow. Great reaction, guys! 👍🏾
The live action definitely missed it. Ed is the antithesis of the wacky anime character to balance out the drama. You aren’t going to find an actor capable of replicating that.
@@Monalisa-hm1hl for anime in general? depends on the genres you like... but the original 1995 anime movie Ghost in The Shell is probably a must see as well..
@@darkgenesis342 there are lots of different kinds of Seinen anime but a lot of people like one punch man (ive never seen it though) Black Lagoon is really good, as is Hellsing Ultimate, ghost in the Shell :Sand Alone Complex( i already mentioned the 95 movie and the tv series is quite good too) and FLCL.. use this wiki page for a list that has hundreds of them on it.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Seinen_manga
And he catches many other details as well, like Spike's ''death wish'' as he mentioned it, which will come up in the last episode as well. It is clear that he loves the show and he understand the philosophy of cowboy bebop.
Yo, as a longtime Bebop fan, I just realized that Faye might be from Singapore. That lion statue is the Merlion, famous in Singapore. Also my wife is from there!
hey, this anime always been my favourite. touches close to heart. i kinda forgot this episode existed because i hate the part when the crew finally departed it's been a journey with you guys watching this anime again. bebop's crew journey finally closes to an end. im gonna bear with it again together with you guys
I like to think Ed reconnects with the rogue AI from episode 9 which helps her dad re-map the world. Bebop's a masterpiece but damn I want another season to see how they're doing.
Me too. 26 episodes were so little for such a fantastic series. I really loved to see another season to witness how our heroes proceed with their lives.
Faye's accident reminds me of a similar one from the Anime planetes where a piece of space debris traveling at 17 thousand kph strikes a commercial spacecraft
Dude I watched this episode and this reaction a long time ago, I watched this today during lunch at work and I broke out crying with the last Ed scene AGAIN hahaha.. ah that always gets me, I know Ed and Ein will be alright, but you know... I would miss them 😭.
16:33 it is one of Ed's names but not of the one she put on herself she usually introduces her self as Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky the IV but her real name is Francoise Appledelhi
If you remember back to the episode about the kid who couldn't die, he got that ability when the Gate blew up and blasted a hole into the moon. The thing is that the event of the Gate explosion is also incredibly important to what happened to Faye because she was on the ship to the Gate when it exploded. Difference is that she didn't get any powers. When you see the glass crack when looking at the moon, that is meant to symbolize the connection to the Gate explosion
Sometimes you forget certain songs in certain episodes. For example i forgot that dont bother none was here. A crime, i know but i forgot. Because ya know, everyone remembers one song from this episode. Everyone. Always.
Tears flowing once again from this show. This might be my favorite episode and Ed may be my favorite anime character. She's hilarious, interesting, adorable, unique and just genuinely good. A true free spirit. Her character design, voice acting and animation all fit her personality perfectly. But then again that can be said about all the members of Bebop. Another thing that makes her such a great character is that when we first meet her she seems like she's just going to be the stereotypical, one dimensional comic relief character, and even though she does provide a lot of comic relief she also has a lot to her that begs questions which makes her more complex. Like how did she become such a genius hacker, where was she for all the time she wasn't with her Dad or at the orphanage and what kind of woman is she going to grow-up to be. I think it's better off that we don't know these things as the mystery is a part of her charm. One thing that would be cool, though, is if Ein ended-up having a super long life span because of the experiments he went through so that the two of them could always have each other.
I've been rewatching Cowboy Bebop recently, just picking random episodes to watch whenever, kind of like how I first watched it on Adult Swim when I was a kid. I'm actually trying my hardest to avoid this episode in particular. I cried at the end of Jupiter Jazz, Bohemian Rhapsody, AND Speak Like a Child, those aren't anywhere near as heartbreakingly sad as Hard Luck Woman, I'm gonna bawl my damn eyes out when it comes to this. It's taken me almost 20 years to come to fully understand and appreciate it, Cowboy Bebop is so much more than entertainment, it's art.
I personally have the theory that Faye is from Singapore because of the meerlion statue (oficial image of singapore), the hills and the tropic vibe with the ocean. Make sense also because of the wealth of the family. Just makes sense to me.
To this day I think that if Ed stayed with the crew the ending of the show would be different. Sad thing is, Bebop crew could have made Earth habitable, they had AI from the Space defence satellite, so if they could have it start shooting down the debries in orbit until it is too small to not burn in atmosphere.
If they were going to watch the movie where it takes places chronologically, that's what they would have shown instead of this episode, since it takes place after Brain Scratch but before Hard Luck Woman.
I didn’t understand the end with Spike and Jet stuffing their faces with eggs when I first saw it which was only a few days ago. I thought it was a weird thing over a mostly sad goodbye for two of our crew members. Now that people say what that means and why it’s there makes more sense. I’ll probably be fine with it over time, but it’s still a little weird for me
I think Ed is partly based off Pippi Longstockings, and Appledelhi is based off Pippi's father. In the series, she always tells her friends her father is the king of pirates or something like that, and tells less than believable stories about him and his adventures, which her friends (and the audience) are led to understand are fantasies to justify his absence, possibly meaning he's dead and she, being an orphan, fantasizes about him. At least until he appears and he is PRECISELY how she described him. He is superhumanly strong and does all sorts of impossible and weird stuff. BTW, "Francoise" isn't part of Ed's overly long name, since her name is something she made up herself. Francoise Appledelhi is POSSIBLY her real name. I say possibly because, considering how much of an airhead her father is, he could remember it completely wrong.
I like the subtle hint that Ed’s dad - despite all his failings as a father - stands out as someone who can ACTUALLY fight Spike! Like Spike accepts Ed going with him, because at least he CAN protect her. He doesn’t want her to leave but maybe she’ll be safe, you know?
that bit of animation with Spike vs Appledelhi was done by Yutaka Nakamura. you might remember him as the guy who animated: the action sequences in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's second intro. (also did a few stunning bits of fighting animation in the 03 anime, with the Ed vs Greed and Ed vs Envy fights as well as shorter, still brilliant sequences with Scar killing some motorcyclist bandits and a brief fight between Greed and Envy.) Todoroki freezing the giant robots in MHA the final blast of Midoriya vs Todoroki in MHA Bakugo's flying escape from All for One in MHA Midoriya and Bakugo's charge against each other followed by the fancy footwork and spin kick from Midoriya in MHA the Midoriya vs Overhaul final blow. a good portion of both MHA movie's climaxes. pretty much the entire Saitama vs Boros fight in One Punch Man. the Mob vs Koyama flight sequence and crash back to earth in Mob Psycho 100, the final duel of Sword of the Stranger. the final duel of Cowboy Bebop as a series. the final duel of Cowboy Bebop's movie. and a whole lot more. man's a legend.
Just found the song that plays when Fey is flying back to the ship during the sunset and the lyrics are about someone’s dog running away. That shit hurted.
Yes, very good series, i'm currently watching it and i'm really enjoying it. It has some similarites with cowboy bebop as well. Too bad it is not as popular as the series in their poll, like berserk, steins gate, demon slayer ect.
I understand not watching the previews the first time through, but they should really go back and watch them now. Some of them are more than just, "On the next episode." Like "Toys in the Attic" with Ed saying everyone is dead and now the show is all about her. Or this one going into the finale, with Jet talking about how there are some things we don't want to end, but we have to face them. Good stuff worth checking out.
I absolutely hated this episode. Ed belonged with the Bebop crew. And deep down in my nerdy heart, I like to imagine that Ed could have convinced Spike to stay instead of going off on a stupid suicide mission.
Ed is presented as a silly character who ironically carries the lesson of the series; live in the present. There's no pain in Ed when it's time to move along because they lived that experience authentically and presently. The others are prisoners to their past and couldn't notice that family and happiness were staring them right in the face. AND EVEN WHEN THEY REALIZE IT- face full of eggs. More pain added to our past to fuel us.
jet and spike eating without saying anything hiding their pain knowing that others left is great
It is truly well done and makes me disappointed when some people don't get the scene. Cause scenes that don't need words to express emotion are great but don't happen often cause people miss the meaning.
And fucking call me plays in the background, it's beautifully heartwrenching.
untill they come back well one of em
Makes me cry every time I see it.
@@drew1429 the best part is they don’t beat you over the head with the message.
The fact that Spike and Jet were stuffing their faces with eggs to keep from crying gets me everytime man 💔
+Sage, Me Too, Friend. Me Too. :'-(
ikr so sad. Especially with the "call me" song playing. Such a beautiful episode
a nice analogy that I found was that the situation was difficult to swallow, much like a hard boiled egg, hence them eating over a dozen of them
That last look Ein gives to Jet.... It's like he knows he's not going to see him again. :(
Well Ein is technically the most knowledgeable member of the Bebop.
Considering how serious and downcast the finale is, I can see why they sent off the cute dog and precious child. Their antics would have seemed a little out of place.
And it's good for them to leave before the shit hits the fan.
Not really, seeing as it's sad when they're still there...

I have never cried that much to anime...
This is why Cowboy Bebop is my all time favorite, it touches your soul.
Exactly. It is one of the most realistic anime ever. It focuses on people's past and their struggle to leave it behind. That's why cowboy bebop is so deep and special.
i remember crying like a lil bitch when i first saw this episode and now every single time afterwards. the best episode in the series in my opinion
I cried here too
For me it had the most heart - breaking moments from all the episodes. Faye rewatching the tape, faye's look when she saw her destroyed home and that ed and ein left.
I just cried... can't remember anything makes me cried like this
Same!!! So emotional.
Damn it I ended up crying in class, luckily no one noticed
Ed is such a good character. I honestly forgot how little she was in this show. With her wild and crazy personality she definitely stole every scene she was in. I just don't know how they're gonna find somebody to have that same level of energy for the live action show.
Forget about the live-action show.
It really hits the boys that all three of their new crew bailed on them at once.
11:16 "Ease my mind" My favorite scene, Spike and Jet eat away their emotions. Great song by Steve Conte.
Bout to hit those Real Folk Blues. I can and can’t wait
The innocents are ushered off the stage before the final tragedy unfolds.

I cried at the end of this episode... The song captures the melancholy sooo well.
Its the first time the Bebop crew have all they can eat, but they cant enjoy it because Fay,Ed and Ein arent there with them
They got mushrooms that one time, also due to Ed.
That Merlion statue. :O
Another piece of the puzzle that is Faye's identity: she comes from Singapore.
There is no way a live action film could ever capture the essence of this show especially Ed.

For those wondering the main songs for this episode are Papa Plastic, Waltz For Zizi, Wo Qui Non Coin, Call Me Call Me.
I HAVE SPENT YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH SONG WAS PAPA PLASTIC THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOUUUUU
It's aggresive egg eating time boys!!!
Your profile picture looks like Mark Zuckerberg.
Boiled eggs were never the same for me after this episode.
same. I can't help but think of this episode everytime I eat boiled eggs
Their reaction when the music start is all of us. The silence, we knew something is happening. And that "bye bye" giving us the whole picture.
Yeah, them eating Ed and Faye's eggs were in the sense that they finally accept that they're not coming back.
"Call Me Call Me" fits so well with the last scenes of the episode, such a great (and underrated) song.
Man I forgot how hard some of the episodes hit you in the feels, good lord.
Thanks guys for revisiting Bebop, brings back so many happy memories.
And then there's the final two...
Yo, as a longtime Bebop fan, I just realized that Faye might be from Singapore. That lion statue is the Merlion, famous in Singapore. Also my wife is from there!
hey, this anime always been my favourite. touches close to heart. i kinda forgot this episode existed because i hate the part when the crew finally departed

Sunrise produced both shows so it may have been a homage :)
i... won't lie. Even now, this was the episode that broke me... and made me fuckin *CRY LIKE A BABY*
the vocal tracks for Cowboy Bebop are so amazing
Gah, my childhood! I still remember all the lyrics to 'Call me, Call me'.
I'm not sure I'm ready for this again.
This is my favorite episode of the whole series.
I remember seeing the "Bye Bye" and still being kicked in the gut essentially by how hard it hurts
Dude I watched this episode and this reaction a long time ago, I watched this today during lunch at work and I broke out crying with the last Ed scene AGAIN hahaha.. ah that always gets me, I know Ed and Ein will be alright, but you know... I would miss them 😭.

you might remember him as the guy who animated:
the action sequences in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's second intro.
(also did a few stunning bits of fighting animation in the 03 anime, with the Ed vs Greed and Ed vs Envy fights as well as shorter, still brilliant sequences with Scar killing some motorcyclist bandits and a brief fight between Greed and Envy.)
Todoroki freezing the giant robots in MHA
the final blast of Midoriya vs Todoroki in MHA
Bakugo's flying escape from All for One in MHA
Midoriya and Bakugo's charge against each other followed by the fancy footwork and spin kick from Midoriya in MHA
the Midoriya vs Overhaul final blow.
a good portion of both MHA movie's climaxes.
pretty much the entire Saitama vs Boros fight in One Punch Man.
the Mob vs Koyama flight sequence and crash back to earth in Mob Psycho 100,
the final duel of Sword of the Stranger.
the final duel of Cowboy Bebop as a series.
the final duel of Cowboy Bebop's movie.
and a whole lot more.
man's a legend.
Btw, that part at the start, blowing air at someone who is sleeping makes them choke an wake up in panic
Jet and Spike eating Eggs with Call Me Call Me playing. Anyone who loves this show cries there!
Edward and Ein, We will Always Be Your Families Forever and Always. :-(
Just found the song that plays when Fey is flying back to the ship during the sunset and the lyrics are about someone’s dog running away. That shit hurted.
And this episode god this one was heavy and amazing.
The movie takes place in between episodes, before the finale.
Between 22 and 23rd episode.
sometimes when people leave me, i eat my feelings like spike and jet lol
Seeing them watch this, can't help but want them to watch Black Lagoon as well.
Yes, very good series, i'm currently watching it and i'm really enjoying it. It has some similarites with cowboy bebop as well. Too bad it is not as popular as the series in their poll, like berserk, steins gate, demon slayer ect.
Was always my favorite episode.
I hope you will watch last episodes one after another and upload two at the same time. It's the right way to do it.
Goodbye, Edward. We Love You. :'-(
Can you feel it,the edges of the curtains...
On peripheral, closing in
I understand not watching the previews the first time through, but they should really go back and watch them now. Some of them are more than just, "On the next episode." Like "Toys in the Attic" with Ed saying everyone is dead and now the show is all about her. Or this one going into the finale, with Jet talking about how there are some things we don't want to end, but we have to face them. Good stuff worth checking out.
Rick didn't say anything for 5 minutes after the episode and let the crew discuss is bittersweet 😢
He does a great job letting the reactions happen and bringing the team back on track for discussions.
I absolutely hated this episode. Ed belonged with the Bebop crew. And deep down in my nerdy heart, I like to imagine that Ed could have convinced Spike to stay instead of going off on a stupid suicide mission.
It’s ok boys, we can cry.
Get ready for 2 of the most Epic episodes in Anime history !
#TheRealFolkBlues
Best anime ending after code geass for me.
Best kiddo and best doggo have taken their leave... :-(
まずフェイの友達がフェイに置いていかれて、アップルデリーにエドが置いていかれて、この辺から不穏な別れの雰囲気が漂ってくる。最後にエドの別れが来るわけだけど、これが唐突なものなはずなのに視聴者がすんなりと理解し受け入れられたのは2回の別れをこの話だけに詰め込んでいたからだと思う。話の構成がめちゃくちゃうまい。一話の中に無駄が全くない。
Great ending with good song.
Bye Bye ° ▽ °
We're in the end game now boys.
Ed is presented as a silly character who ironically carries the lesson of the series; live in the present. There's no pain in Ed when it's time to move along because they lived that experience authentically and presently. The others are prisoners to their past and couldn't notice that family and happiness were staring them right in the face. AND EVEN WHEN THEY REALIZE IT- face full of eggs. More pain added to our past to fuel us.
Damn this made me cry XD
The pinwheel at the end…. Spike put that there 😢
Fay Valentine accident was the Astros game blowing up
So heavy.
i love that egg eating scene. it actually makes me feel like throwing eggs in my neck with tear. sad.
I cried so much
