    One of the best moments of anime no over the top attacks. The way the scenes are shot, the amazing ost and also the voice acting despite being sub norio wakamoto as vicious is legendary and seeing the life flash between spikes eyes is another plus.

    The music when Spike was falling down with the glass shards, his left eye still seeing the past... his friendship with Vicious and beautiful love Julia... It's Soo hauntingly emotional for a story we never really get told in full. That is powerful direction and imagery. Such a beautiful scene from Cowboy Bebop with Spike.

      Yes I love how the past of any of the characters are not shown directly but only shown through references and glimpses of the past. Because the show purely intends to focus on how the past haunts you in the present.

      It just goes to show what a show can be, when you actually given creative freedom... Cowboy Bebop is the one rare Anime, that was made from scratch. It originally got a huge budget from Bandai(one of the toy companies I forget), to create a short show around to sell action figures. Well Bandai ended up dropping out, and a Production Company stepped in to save the project because it was too big a shame to let so many talented people go(Bandai had assembled a monumental cast and staff well beyond what any other Anime Company was capable of)... So, everyone agreed to complete it, and turn it into a 20-something episode series.. They were able to take their time, and create this masterpiece.

    Every time I see or hear anything related to this moment I cry.
    I imagine if Spike's friends or whatever they really were to him stuck with him, or if guilt or sentiment got to them, I imagined that they would come storming in grabbing Spike near death maybe before he hit the ground in one of their vehicles and then carry him away to be saved like how he miraculously survived in the movie. He would then wake up to see Faye poorly tending to his wounds causing him sit up in pain scaring her and causing the dog to come running in barking giving everyone a headache which causes him and Faye to simultaneously tell him to shut up, which causes the rest of the team to come barging in. Basically a awkward and hilarious Cowboy Bebop style reunion or happy ending.

    at 0:34 I've never made this connection before, and I might be overthinking this, but it's interesting that they decide to show an image of a cross here. Because, as we know, Jesus was reborn after he was crucified supposedly, in the same way that Spike is telling Vicious that he, too, was "reborn". Think about it: Spike survived Vicious' original betrayal 3 years ago, despite everyone thinking he was dead. Then, he left the syndicate life behind, becoming a bounty hunter. Further, here, he also tells Vicious that he "bled all of that blood away," which is another way of saying that he left the life of the syndicate behind because he doesnt have that "beastly" blood inside him anymore (or isn't a hitman/enforcer anymore -- whatever he was). So, in a sense, Spike "died" 3 years before confronting Vicious here; then he was "reborn" after that, and all in the same way that Jesus died on the cross and was reborn 3 days later! LOL idk if that makes sense, but it does to me.

    Cowboy Bebop briefly aired for 3 episodes in the Netherlands on a TV music channel. It got pulled after the first three episodes, maybe because of low view ratings. This was just after Dragonball Z and Pokémon took the world by storm, but before anime exploded into mainstream popularity.
    I am still thankful that they aired those episodes of Cowboy Bebop, even if only a fraction of the intended audience actually watched it. The first two episodes were an awesome introduction to the side of anime we hadn't seen yet at the time.
    Then I saw the final episode they aired, the third one.
    It changed my life, and it was awesome.
