I love how crazy and energetic the cowboy bebop universe is, but at the same time there’s brief periods where you don’t know the story of so many perspectives and you’re kind of lost in this big space world with nothing but 4 people. That speaks more loneliness than having just one character’s journey
Imagine how lonely people will be if space travel ever gets affordable for regular folks. "Imma fly to Jupiter!" Six years later a shuttle shows up in Jupiter orbit with the five and a half year old moldy remains of somebody who couldn't hack being off FaceBook for 24 hours.
As I get older I connect with this show so much more. Your past really do haunts you (old relationships, old friends, people you've lost, different career paths, missed opportunities) ... you do carry that weight.
Damn that's right i can't forget my first love that I even can't contact now, she's very far from me with another guy I will not see it in the rest of my life and that's make me sad not only her but all my friends that I losed really life is no sense when u are alone in this cruel world
Missed opportunities is the one which js hurting me a lot currently fuck Covid !! Now I am aimlessly wandering in the space idk I feel my future gonna be cheap
Wow, I read this just as Spike went, "I was going to find out if I'm really alive". Really puts it into perspective, he thought about his past his whole life, and he needed to go back to feel alive. He was always looking back, and maybe he did feel alive in his final moments, but doesn't change the fact that he spent his life trying to convince himself he was alive without ever moving on and making a new story of his own. The Syndicate and his past relationships left a lasting mark on him, and that's all he ever defined himself by. It's so strange especially considering how static a character he is. I guess you could say he didn't have much character development, but the story was so perfect that his static character made sense, and is so loved because of the truth and bits of reality he holds. Sometimes, it's people's destiny to never move on. So in that sense, Spike didn't just think about the past right before his death, he chose his past to be his demise.
@@BB-qs7rl I guess you could see it both ways, whether he wasted his life not getting over his old love and past, or him finally returning to it was a form of closure for him, but in this case I meant his 'demise' as his death.
@@hafsaaleem5688 You can see it both ways. But in Spike's final scenes there are songs about everlasting love and the afterlife, Spike seeing Julia as his present, glowing white lights and flying birds. It's pretty obvious what is being implied.
Wow it sounds so meaningful, until you realize that statement is just not true lmao. The entire series is full of sayings that appear to be deep but are outright false or extremely shallow. It's pretentious, bad writing
Check point: This week I was diagnosed with fibrosis on my liver and at the rate its going, it doesnt look good. I always come back to this song when looking into the void. Brothers, do not fear death, look at it straight in the eyes, raise your hand, point at death. Bang!
If you are still out there, I hope the best for you. If you are not. I'll see you in sovngarde brother. All the best and my regards to you and your family.
I just realized, during the final fight with Vicious, Spike's real left eye is forced closed due to his blood covering it, leaving him to only be able to look out of his right eye, the one he "sees the past" with
he was the only one in the group who didn’t learn to leave the past behind, in the last fight he was solving issues from the past, so he just looked with the eye that sees the past, I think that’s it
That shit is so symbolic Bc at the end of episode six he said the same thing, although back then he wasn’t ready to die, but he said it at the end signifying he’s ready
I think that Faye realized that her past was gone in the last couple of episodes- so she showed more empathy towards spike and jet and even edward because I think she finally realized that these people WERE her family, even if they weren't related by blood. I think she convinced herself she belonged some place else, when in reality she was right where she needed to be. And when she finally realized this, the crew disbanded.
Yes. And that was just as much a kick in the gut as Spike's death, or Ed and Ein's departure. The lesson of the show, for me, is don't let the past be your master, pay attention to the here and now. It is all you really have.
I had to pause the episode when I heard that and take what he just said in. Spike was a top-tier MC since episode 1. One of the best quotes I’ve ever heard.
It’s about those stuck frozen in time, unable to move forward because they know the end result isn’t what they want so they float in their ship. But one day are forced to meet with their fate, for Faye realizing that she has no home and no family and has to move on. Jet had to let go of a love lost to time that was represented by the watch. Spike his fight with Vicious and his postponed death, he knew that his love would die, and he knew that the end would come for him and Vicious when he decided to step forward back into his own life his own fate.
When you see the series you expect an episodical slice of life action anime, where everything happens and absolutely nothing backfires in the next episode. You feel like these characters could be there forever, following their arc cycle (Faye going away, Jet staying alone in the Bebop, Spike trying to get himself killed), but no. These dudes have lived enough; Faye is close to being 80, Jet has countless stories with the police and Spike had a bloody past before. Therefore, they won't be here for long; so when you become attached to the anime, when you feel you can stay watching them forever, the final episode comes up, just after 26 episodes, and Spike dies. That's when you notice you weren't watching a compelling story, a great purpose, a big mission; you were just seeing the last days of a doomed man. During those days, he meets some people, but in the end, his ending is already written. His days have already expired, now he's living his last nightmare after waking up alongside the woman of his dreams. This is why this series is incredible... it's too unique.
"Whatever happens, happens" will forever be one of my favorite lines from anime for the rest of my life. While Bebop is shorter than many out there it really told a lot in such little time which is why I cherish it as one of my top favorites. 🚬
To this day I feel bad for Faye and Jet being left alone on the ship together which was one filled with life and possibilities, 2 amazing crewmates and a dog that was the cherry on top. It's a shame it all ended so fast and too soon.
The real meaning of Cowboy bebop is in acceptance of the unexpected things in life. Life can get pretty fucked up at times but you always have the final say on how you are going to react. You might feel otherwise but the reality is that things just happen to you, no rhyme or reason. You get to decide how you're gonna take it, and what your next step will be. When things go wrong or I'm faced with a seemingly insurmountable hardship, sometimes, I look in the mirror and say to myself; "Whatever happens, happens..." as a Taoist reminder to go with the flow. It's pretty good, actually. 😌
absolutely, and it also shows that even though people get stuck in the past even to the point that they can't even see their present, life will still push you along no matter what, and whether or not you're aware of it, even if you think your life is empty, the present is always there with you, just sometimes you can't seem to see it. It is very Taoist when you think about it.
"Im not going there to die, i'm going there to find out if I'm really alive" is one of those modern pieces of literature that could literally come from an ancient text piece and be passed down for hundreds of years as a bone chilling line.
Rest in peace Keiko Nobumoto you brought a masterpiece into the lives of bebop fans everywhere. This anime touched my soul and changed my life. Thank you. See you space cowgirl 💫
I almost lost sense of reality thanks to watching this to the end. But it's such an impactful and deep masterpiece that i think everybody should watch. This experience , living with the Bebop crew, is worth the pain and the joy it would gift you☕
As much as I love all these characters, can we get take a moment to appreciate Jet and how he held the crew together the most, even if it often included his poor cooking skills. He was the Mom of the Bebop and his past may not be the main focus, but it is still just as tragic.
jet is honestly my favorite, before ed. he's just the next stage of someone like faye or spikes life. i like to think he hangs around them because they remind jet of himself.
In the story, Spike seemed to never fear death despite almost dying in many situations. We saw this as just him being brave or living a life that accepts fate unconditionally. The last episode finally revealed that he was bothered at how carefree he is when faced with certain death. In a way, you can say fearing death is part of being alive. To not fear death made Spike question if he was really alive. He wanted to find out, and what better way than to confront his past, the one thing that was sure to kill him.
Today I finished Cowboy Bebop. It's left me speechless. Spike just kept on going, watching everyone close to him die. In the end, it felt as if he accepted life and death, looking back at the past, and seeing it all as just a dream.
Andreas Barcelona Agreed. I’d even be satisfied with a spin-off for characters completely unrelated to this story so long as it takes place in the same universe. I also wish I could forget this show to experience it for the first time again
@@foobarbazquux Personally i would like to see how jet and faye were doing alone and perhaps how well they would work together. Also i would love to see where did ed with ein went, or if they ended up with ed's father.
foobarquux I think that was the point. Someone put it best when they said that Bebop is the epilogue to a story we never see. All of the characters have had their defining experience and now we merely see the aftermath and consequences of what happened in the past
I love how the show takes the stories of 4 outcasted and broken people and intercuts them into an almost episodic narrative that creates a massive impact by the end. It’s very impressive storytelling
Dunno, I don't really enjoy English cast. I prefer original Japanese voices and Anilibria dub version, however it's in Russian, so it's not for everyone. English cast feels somewhat unreal. Which is strange because there are many great shows with English voice acting, but almost every anime dubbed in English seems unpleasant, at least for me
Spike died. His death was foreshadowed since episode one. Just within the last ten minutes of the final episode (including the end credits), the tiger striped cat story made it clear that he wasn't coming back. Jet knew it. Faye knew it. Spike knew it. The song that plays immediately after Spike leaves the Bebop, starts thinking about Julia and then attacks the syndicate is literally about how he will love Julia forever and be with her in the afterlife. He even says to Vicious "Julia passed away. Let's end it all." He kills Vicious but is slashed across the stomach. Vicious dies quickly, Spike slowly because a snake's venom poisons slowly after the bite. After Vicious falls dead on the ground, Spike looks up to the night's sky. The camera focuses in on his right eye. He sees Julia. He is finally seeing her in the eye that sees the present. Meaning she is now his present. He is immediately covered in a white heavenly light. Next we see him it is day and he is now smiling. He says "Bang." drops and is never shown moving again. Spike saying "Bang." is a call back to Wen and Spike acknowledging that he now understands the relief that comes with death. We follow the ascension of his soul into the heavens while a song about ascending to heaven plays. We see the same doves that flew by Julia when she died, fly over Spike. We see Spike's star fade, but never fall. Meaning that he made it to the great spirit that awaits us all.
Too much symbolism analysis for me. I don't give a damn if Spike died; What I care about is that his story concluded. He found Julia and saw her die, and finally ended Vicious and the rest of the Red Dragons who made up his pre-Bebop life. The loose ends have been burned. It doesn't matter if Spike himself died, or just the 'old' Spike who's stuck in the past; But Cowboy Bebop is over. No continuations, no sequels, no cliffhangers. That being said, dude's definitely dead. Too many hints to that end, and the creator's statements to the contrary were probably just to calm people down.
@@ImmortanDan You may not care about symbolism but the creators clearly did. More than anything I described what was shown. If you have a problem with it go get mad at the anime.
I came here expecting to see the scene where Spike explains his eyes, but instead I got some silky smooth music built around a great anime with a large glass of nostalgia. Thank you. I'll carry this weight.
What I would say is you don't need to escape or forget the past, just don't forget that the present is always there going on, even if you can't see it, even if you think your life is empty or over, remember that you are being pushed along to new situations, new experiences no matter what.
I wanted Spike and Faye to be together so much but it's also calming that the anime didn't push the two together. So I'm relieved that what I wanted to happen didn't... *Strange*
Maybe it's because in every film or cartom the main lead always falls in love with a woman beside him and it always ends happily. Our heart knows we don't want that
I can relate to these characters so much I remember spending maybe 7 years after high school going in and out of depression due to my past regrets and disappointing childhood. I was the embodiment of the Doomer meme; avoiding people, gorging on fast food and talking nightwalks. The worst part about being that way is that you become comfortable with it and any attempt to get out of that funk causes discomfort and often leads to self sabotage. The past is potentially a treasure trove of invaluable insight but if you let it it will consume and destroy you. Every now and then I still find myself getting stuck in the past and I just need to remind myself that my future is the only thing that matters and focusing on improving myself is the only thing that will make me feel truly happy. My life is still far from perfect; I'm stuck in a dead end job, have no real friends and am still a good 30-40 lbs overweight but I am making progress towards my goals each and every day and I can only hope that one day I am able to conquer my yesterday and live in a better tomorrow.
@@jadssamparra5034 hey thanks man. I'll be honest though my life really isn't all that bad and I have a lot to be thankful for. Perhaps those years instilled within me a kind of victim complex that I need to overcome.
"The worst part about being that way is that you become comfortable with it" you're not alone, reading this gives a little hope. I'am not the only one.
This is absolute gold. Creations like this are what make the mind go to places that people think are impossible to find. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
For me (even though not shown) its the way he tells faye and even Jet how he HAS to do this. I relate to that emotion so hard. Some things you can’t help but feel and based off your past it can lead you to make decisions only you understand even if that decision can be detrimental to you...
When I was younger, I could understand this Anime to a certain degree. Mainly I just watched it for the action. But now that I'm older and a bit wiser this anime was more than the action. I never understood what it exactly means to "carry that weight". Now that life has hit me harder... I understand it now more than ever
"I’ve been seeing the past in one eye, and the present in the other, so I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture." "I felt like I was watching a dream I’d never wake up from… Hmp. Before I knew it, the dream was all over." - Spike Spiegel
"Depersonalization can consist of a detachment within the self, regarding one's mind or body, or being a detached observer of oneself. Subjects feel they have changed and that the world has become vague, dreamlike, less real, lacking in significance or being outside reality while looking in." - Wikipedia. I'm 33 yo, and i was diagnosed with that like 6 months ago due to a depression cause my mother killed herself 5 years ago, all your emotions feels like strange and if anything was real at all like living in a dream, that's why you need to find out if you are really living because anything feels real. I can say that is painful when you try to find a meaning and get yourself together, because you need to rewire all your emotions. Anyways, i can understand now how Spike Spiegel was feeling, this is a deep anime, blows your mind in pieces, i watched it when i was 17 yo. Everyone of us need a meaning, please listen Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and try to get yourself together. Be responsible and truthful. Nobody cares maybe but thank you.
Ping Pong the Animation is underrated also. Like Cowboy Bebop, it has depth and unique style but it isn't as dark. Do they still make animes like Cowboy Bebop anymore with the dark theme and noir stuff?
@@halowarrior917 for older fans, sure. Nowadays, itll get bumped off those top 5-10 lists by “AOT” “My Hero…” “Demon Slayer”, and “One Punch Man”. All decent shows, but to each their own.
@@citystar2318 me, my #1 is Yu Yu Hakusho and I've only really watched anime since I was 15 or 16 and I'm 25: now. I've seen both big ones and more obscure slice of life animes. Toradora is my favorite slice of life tbh
The construction of the Cowboy bebop universe is so masterfully executed. Anyone can see the time and effort put into the writing. Not many anime or manga can stand the test of time the same way that we've seen Cowboy Bebop do it. The adult themes and real world concepts put into the story, masked in well thought out, well placed comedy, make the show stand at the highest tier.
The thing about Cowboy Bebop is that the meaning of the show changes as you get older. If you watched it 5 years ago, give it another watch. Last year? Another watch. Everything in this show is about internilizing what hurts us, and grinding out the man-hours to put some beef in that bell peppers and beef. Its more relivant as you grow up. Because the more you understand about the real world, the more this show hurts you. See ya, Space Cowboys.
Idk usually in animes now, they have some message like “believe in yourself”, “keep going” and “don’t give up”. “Carry that weight” is just a lot different, it isn’t like the most motivational but it almost feels really real to the world. Almost like a “own your struggles”. Idk if I’ve ever seen another show like this one in that regard. It’s melancholy and downbeat
I was never sure if these two had feelings for each other, but you can't deny the emotion behind her words, especially when she says, ''Where are you going?'' Like gosh
I mean it's never explicitly stated but to me the Bebop crew became family, Fate, she spends this whole time with the Spike and the others thinking she's out of place running away and trying to find peace with her past. Thanks to the crew she gets knowledge of her past and thinks it will give her some meaning but like she says "There was no place left for me to return to" is very telling for how the story unfolds, Spike is a man that should have died twice already in his pursuit of chasing what the past means to him through Julia, you can see it in how his personality entirely shifts the moment even her name comes up. Spike tells Faye "Forget the past it doesn't matter" because he knows what pain not being able to live in the present causes. When spike talks of his eyes one seeing the present and one seeing the past it's always been interesting to me and reminds me a lot of a Gurren Lagann quote from Kamina that was cut from the English dub and is really hard to find a direct quote of in English but I'll paraphrase how I remember it. "Do you know why god gave us eyes in the front of our heads Simon?, If we had eyes in the back of our heads we'd only see our homes getting further away, God gave us eyes in the front of our heads so we can look forward to the future." I think this quote really plays off the idea of being stuck in the past like the bebop crew and how those who can't forget their past are damned to longing of their homes lost to time. This is why Faye shoots the roof in an attempt to bluff to keep Spike from leaving, because the bebop crew is her future, it's truly something they all should have been doing, looking to the future to make a life for themselves instead of looking to the past as their homes dissipated into nothingness. First Jet with his ex-wife and the pocket watch frozen in time there was no place for him to return to. Just like Faye we when we look to the past we have nowhere to return to, the past is the past because it's gone, that's why it's so tragic when spike says "I'm going to find out if I'm really alive" because we all know why Spike is leaving, he's attempting to go out in a blaze of glory because now that Julia is dead, he too has no place to return to, and that's why Faye knows he's not coming back, because her and Jet decided to let the past go, where as Spike, he lives the way of Bushido and can't let his past go, he must die for his Lady and do what's right. tl;dr I'm a massive fucking nerd and I've watched this show like 15 times
I think after she realized she had to live in the present, she also realized that she was in love with spike but never thought about it cause she was too busy finding out stuff from her past
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440Why does it have to be romantic love? She's never shown any romantic attraction towards Spike. It's closer to how you love a family member or a friend.
Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Paranoi Agent, Blue Sub No.06 and so many more. They're all painful, but that sadness is what let's you know you're really alive.
“Im not going there to die, Im going to find out if I’m really alive.” This one statement is deep on so many levels. Spike ran from his past for so long until he realized in the end he had to confront it to truly move forward and find peace.
He doesn't move forward. He can't without Julia. These are the literal lyrics that play while Spike thinks about Julia and then attacks the syndicate. Everything is already over, You say with closed ears The words only flow Towards a tomorrow without peace There's nothing that won't change Yet even if my life ends This love will not disappear It's something that will live forever Even if dreams are hidden in darkness I got a rainbow Rainbow in your hands...
Any show that has the balls to have a sad ending i love and any show that actually wraps itself up and not leave 20 clif hangers so it can milk more money out of another season
When this came on at night. It was a magical break from the horrors of life. That crt glow, resolution just enough to see clearly. The crisp sound of built in speakers. The feeling of power turning it on and off, that wave. This show. The timeless art that it is.
still carrying the weight, this show really gave me a completely diff view on my life it helped me face problems and my past instead of running and abusing myself to escape it, thank you to the creators of this beautiful show and this edit
What a masterpiece. People always talk about Spike's abstract thoughts and his ways of living but people don't look at the impact of his death that influenced his friends around him. Jet, Faye, Ein, and Ed couldn't even say goodbye.
Cowboy bebop really taught me the values of belonging. How once someone finds where they truly belong what ever the conditions may be you'd still find happiness. All the adventures and memories you make and take along the way wouldn't be as important of you're not having it with the right people, the people you belong with. People subconsciously know when they don't belong whether it be friends, groups, places, home, family. So you feel isolated eventhough you are surrounded by many people, you feel homeless despite having a place to eat, sleep, live. It is when you actually find where you belong, you feel satisfied and truly happy.
your edit is what made me want to watch this show. And now 2 years later, out of the 200 anime I've watched, this is my favourite ever. Thanks a lot and great work !
Joshua Manjarrez His left eye is a cybernetic implant. That's why one of his eyes is a lighter shade of brown in the closeups. When he's reminiscing on the past throughout the show, it always shows a closeup of his left eye as it's the one he claims stares into the past.
“You’re gonna carry that weight”. Do y’all even now what this means? Our minds are the weight we carry. When you don’t have control of it, it creates a cold world. It’s when People take the world their mind has created for reality that they created suffering for themselves.
DefenestrateYourself I’m sure that was the intention but a lot of the times insights aren’t slipped into things purposely. Like do you think the makers of the matrix knew the message they were subliminaly sending.
I believe its talking about the weight of your past. The entire show is based around these people trying to free themselves from the "frozen time" that the past brought them. Once they dealt with their pasts, they were finally free. There is a lot of symbolism around this in the show.
Check point: After I broke up with my first and only love when i was 21, I became empty. Now at 36 I have been with many women, traveled to many places, done more things than most ppl my age, i have a good programming job, a life that ppl envy. But that emptiness has never gone away. I pretend to be something more than i am, and ppl around me eat it up, wanting to be like me. If only they knew how i actually feel every day. Im not depressed, i have never contemplated suicide. The void grows every year but i have come to terms with it. Life is all about chasing that light at the end of the tunnel that we will never reach.
i am much younger than you and am not affected by breakups yet i share that same void not suicide not crying just empty i feel many emotions and put on shows of who 'i' am but really i just want to do the most stupid shit to feel the rush and finally live because away from people at night i lay mad at people who hurt me and sad with myself for not being better and it mixes into something that cant be fixed at this point.
everytime i hear it ...remind me of my brother who passed away 1.5 year ago ....my god ,i never thought about suicide but god damn that music combined with the night and me being in my room alone just makes me think the pain is so damn hard . past is always better ....
I think that's the beauty of it, you can't run from how real it all is. You do have to carry that weight. But you are strong enough to do so. Keep going, please.
Just wanted to say, I think the reason why Spike likes using a gun is because you can disassociate the violence that comes with killing, he hates killing, but it's all he reall knows. While his counter-part likes a sword. He likes to go in, make and see you bleed. He wants to clearly see your expression, he ENJOYS it. Just my comment in a sea of opinions. See you around Space doggo

Men only think about the past right before their death. As if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive. -Jet Black, 2071
Wow, I read this just as Spike went, "I was going to find out if I'm really alive". Really puts it into perspective, he thought about his past his whole life, and he needed to go back to feel alive. He was always looking back, and maybe he did feel alive in his final moments, but doesn't change the fact that he spent his life trying to convince himself he was alive without ever moving on and making a new story of his own. The Syndicate and his past relationships left a lasting mark on him, and that's all he ever defined himself by. It's so strange especially considering how static a character he is. I guess you could say he didn't have much character development, but the story was so perfect that his static character made sense, and is so loved because of the truth and bits of reality he holds. Sometimes, it's people's destiny to never move on. So in that sense, Spike didn't just think about the past right before his death, he chose his past to be his demise.
@@hafsaaleem5688 But it wasn't his demise. It was his transcendence. He finally saw Julia as his present and his soul ascended into the heavens.
@@BB-qs7rl I guess you could see it both ways, whether he wasted his life not getting over his old love and past, or him finally returning to it was a form of closure for him, but in this case I meant his 'demise' as his death.

I just realized, during the final fight with Vicious, Spike's real left eye is forced closed due to his blood covering it, leaving him to only be able to look out of his right eye, the one he "sees the past" with
damn, i didn't even realize that until now. Thank you very much
dont do this to me man. the first time i watched it i was laying on the floor depressed. back to the floor i guess.
Blew my mind
What do you mean? He explicitly states that "My left eye only sees the past"
he was the only one in the group who didn’t learn to leave the past behind, in the last fight he was solving issues from the past, so he just looked with the eye that sees the past, I think that’s it
This has one of the best endings in anime

@@BlackStar-jo2pu exactly
They took the idea of going out with a bang literally
I think that Faye realized that her past was gone in the last couple of episodes- so she showed more empathy towards spike and jet and even edward because I think she finally realized that these people WERE her family, even if they weren't related by blood. I think she convinced herself she belonged some place else, when in reality she was right where she needed to be. And when she finally realized this, the crew disbanded.
Yes. And that was just as much a kick in the gut as Spike's death, or Ed and Ein's departure. The lesson of the show, for me, is don't let the past be your master, pay attention to the here and now. It is all you really have.
@@paulc1665 You're right and I'm trying to remember that. I hope you are doing well.
So ironical to hear " no matter the past, you still have future " from someone who could never let go of his past.
Sometimes people give the advice they need themselves, just to comfort another person
"Im not going there to die, i'm going there to find out if I'm really alive"
-Spike Spiegel, 2071
That has to be one of the strongest quotes I have ever heard
With a smile on his face....
I had to pause the episode when I heard that and take what he just said in. Spike was a top-tier MC since episode 1. One of the best quotes I’ve ever heard.
WE GOTTA KEEP THIS QUOTE UNTIL 2072!!!
You could say he was ahead of his time. 2072 sounds like a good year to die
With all the fun sci-fi antics, Bebop at its core is about a bunch of people trying to find who they truly are.
Trying to make peace with their traumas
Planets
Trying to escape who they were but unable to.
It’s about those stuck frozen in time, unable to move forward because they know the end result isn’t what they want so they float in their ship. But one day are forced to meet with their fate, for Faye realizing that she has no home and no family and has to move on. Jet had to let go of a love lost to time that was represented by the watch. Spike his fight with Vicious and his postponed death, he knew that his love would die, and he knew that the end would come for him and Vicious when he decided to step forward back into his own life his own fate.
It’s more about the consequences of knowing who you are .
When you see the series you expect an episodical slice of life action anime, where everything happens and absolutely nothing backfires in the next episode. You feel like these characters could be there forever, following their arc cycle (Faye going away, Jet staying alone in the Bebop, Spike trying to get himself killed), but no. These dudes have lived enough; Faye is close to being 80, Jet has countless stories with the police and Spike had a bloody past before. Therefore, they won't be here for long; so when you become attached to the anime, when you feel you can stay watching them forever, the final episode comes up, just after 26 episodes, and Spike dies. That's when you notice you weren't watching a compelling story, a great purpose, a big mission; you were just seeing the last days of a doomed man. During those days, he meets some people, but in the end, his ending is already written. His days have already expired, now he's living his last nightmare after waking up alongside the woman of his dreams. This is why this series is incredible... it's too unique.
I love this comment. I have to re watch with this in mind
Love this! It makes so much sense!

Spike is the coolest anime character ever created.
"Whatever happens, happens" will forever be one of my favorite lines from anime for the rest of my life. While Bebop is shorter than many out there it really told a lot in such little time which is why I cherish it as one of my top favorites. 🚬
To this day I feel bad for Faye and Jet being left alone on the ship together which was one filled with life and possibilities, 2 amazing crewmates and a dog that was the cherry on top. It's a shame it all ended so fast and too soon.
The real meaning of Cowboy bebop is in acceptance of the unexpected things in life. Life can get pretty fucked up at times but you always have the final say on how you are going to react. You might feel otherwise but the reality is that things just happen to you, no rhyme or reason. You get to decide how you're gonna take it, and what your next step will be. When things go wrong or I'm faced with a seemingly insurmountable hardship, sometimes, I look in the mirror and say to myself; "Whatever happens, happens..." as a Taoist reminder to go with the flow. It's pretty good, actually. 😌
absolutely, and it also shows that even though people get stuck in the past even to the point that they can't even see their present, life will still push you along no matter what, and whether or not you're aware of it, even if you think your life is empty, the present is always there with you, just sometimes you can't seem to see it. It is very Taoist when you think about it.
"Im not going there to die, i'm going there to find out if I'm really alive" is one of those modern pieces of literature that could literally come from an ancient text piece and be passed down for hundreds of years as a bone chilling line.

this is how you should live
if you mean you don’t trust people that’s not the message at all, and it really isn’t about trust of others, it’s about the past and holding onto it

"Men only think about the past right before their death. As if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive." - Jet Black
This anime left me empty when I finished it
bittersweet
I almost lost sense of reality thanks to watching this to the end. But it's such an impactful and deep masterpiece that i think everybody should watch. This experience , living with the Bebop crew, is worth the pain and the joy it would gift you☕
For real.
That's the right feeling to have
That was the point
As much as I love all these characters, can we get take a moment to appreciate Jet and how he held the crew together the most, even if it often included his poor cooking skills. He was the Mom of the Bebop and his past may not be the main focus, but it is still just as tragic.
Chck it out th-cam.com/video/dAiPpODC_Dg/w-d-xo.html
Cmon don’t label Jet a “mom” if anything he’s the Dad of the crew and more accurately the “Cool Uncle”
@@loversandlosers Whatever floats yer boat.
He has already lived and relived his past. He can't lose anymore.
jet is honestly my favorite, before ed. he's just the next stage of someone like faye or spikes life. i like to think he hangs around them because they remind jet of himself.
In the story, Spike seemed to never fear death despite almost dying in many situations. We saw this as just him being brave or living a life that accepts fate unconditionally.
The last episode finally revealed that he was bothered at how carefree he is when faced with certain death. In a way, you can say fearing death is part of being alive. To not fear death made Spike question if he was really alive.
He wanted to find out, and what better way than to confront his past, the one thing that was sure to kill him.
Today I finished Cowboy Bebop. It's left me speechless. Spike just kept on going, watching everyone close to him die. In the end, it felt as if he accepted life and death, looking back at the past, and seeing it all as just a dream.
I’ve always wondered how Spike’s death would’ve impacted Ed emotionally had she stayed. Sadly she’ll never know what happened to the crew 😕
It's a shame we didn't get a second season to this masterpiece.
Andreas Barcelona Agreed. I’d even be satisfied with a spin-off for characters completely unrelated to this story so long as it takes place in the same universe. I also wish I could forget this show to experience it for the first time again
@@foobarbazquux Personally i would like to see how jet and faye were doing alone and perhaps how well they would work together. Also i would love to see where did ed with ein went, or if they ended up with ed's father.
Andreas Barcelona good point, I’d like that too. The show did leave a lot of unresolved storylines
foobarquux I think that was the point. Someone put it best when they said that Bebop is the epilogue to a story we never see. All of the characters have had their defining experience and now we merely see the aftermath and consequences of what happened in the past
the last shot of this show still haunts me till this day your gonna carry that weight not gonna lie this edit is absolutely beautiful
You ain't lying, brother.
I love how the show takes the stories of 4 outcasted and broken people and intercuts them into an almost episodic narrative that creates a massive impact by the end. It’s very impressive storytelling
"I'm not going there to die. I'm going to find out if I'm really alive." HITS HARD.
The English voice actor of Faye Valentine really fits with her and amazing
Spike and Jet too. Perfect casting.
th-cam.com/video/BViGe-LKWFQ/w-d-xo.html
Wendee Lee. I only found out the other day that she also voiced Yoruichi in Bleach.
This is considered one of the best dubbed animes and best sound and audio scores in history of anime.
Dunno, I don't really enjoy English cast. I prefer original Japanese voices and Anilibria dub version, however it's in Russian, so it's not for everyone. English cast feels somewhat unreal. Which is strange because there are many great shows with English voice acting, but almost every anime dubbed in English seems unpleasant, at least for me

That was unexpectedly satisfying. I feel I need a cigarette and don’t even smoke!
Spike died. His death was foreshadowed since episode one. Just within the last ten minutes of the final episode (including the end credits), the tiger striped cat story made it clear that he wasn't coming back. Jet knew it. Faye knew it. Spike knew it. The song that plays immediately after Spike leaves the Bebop, starts thinking about Julia and then attacks the syndicate is literally about how he will love Julia forever and be with her in the afterlife. He even says to Vicious "Julia passed away. Let's end it all." He kills Vicious but is slashed across the stomach. Vicious dies quickly, Spike slowly because a snake's venom poisons slowly after the bite. After Vicious falls dead on the ground, Spike looks up to the night's sky. The camera focuses in on his right eye. He sees Julia. He is finally seeing her in the eye that sees the present. Meaning she is now his present. He is immediately covered in a white heavenly light. Next we see him it is day and he is now smiling. He says "Bang." drops and is never shown moving again. Spike saying "Bang." is a call back to Wen and Spike acknowledging that he now understands the relief that comes with death. We follow the ascension of his soul into the heavens while a song about ascending to heaven plays. We see the same doves that flew by Julia when she died, fly over Spike. We see Spike's star fade, but never fall. Meaning that he made it to the great spirit that awaits us all.
amen
Sheeeeeeeesh
That's awesome dude
Too much symbolism analysis for me. I don't give a damn if Spike died; What I care about is that his story concluded. He found Julia and saw her die, and finally ended Vicious and the rest of the Red Dragons who made up his pre-Bebop life. The loose ends have been burned. It doesn't matter if Spike himself died, or just the 'old' Spike who's stuck in the past; But Cowboy Bebop is over. No continuations, no sequels, no cliffhangers.
That being said, dude's definitely dead. Too many hints to that end, and the creator's statements to the contrary were probably just to calm people down.
@@ImmortanDan You may not care about symbolism but the creators clearly did. More than anything I described what was shown. If you have a problem with it go get mad at the anime.
I came here expecting to see the scene where Spike explains his eyes, but instead I got some silky smooth music built around a great anime with a large glass of nostalgia.
Thank you.

Cowboybebob made me open my eyes and say, you can't really escape your past but then again you can't really let it go can you
You can. Ed didn’t let it define her. She’s not most people tho.
What I would say is you don't need to escape or forget the past, just don't forget that the present is always there going on, even if you can't see it, even if you think your life is empty or over, remember that you are being pushed along to new situations, new experiences no matter what.
@@darrenfleming7901 damn couldn’t have said it better myself 🫡
I wanted Spike and Faye to be together so much but it's also calming that the anime didn't push the two together. So I'm relieved that what I wanted to happen didn't... *Strange*
Brick house I feel exactly the same
Maybe it's because in every film or cartom the main lead always falls in love with a woman beside him and it always ends happily. Our heart knows we don't want that
Lol why relived?
Faye was annoying lol why would you want that
The two of them were too independent to make a good couple anyway. They made the right choice

See you space cowboy...
I can relate to these characters so much I remember spending maybe 7 years after high school going in and out of depression due to my past regrets and disappointing childhood.
I was the embodiment of the Doomer meme; avoiding people, gorging on fast food and talking nightwalks. The worst part about being that way is that you become comfortable with it and any attempt to get out of that funk causes discomfort and often leads to self sabotage.
The past is potentially a treasure trove of invaluable insight but if you let it it will consume and destroy you.
Every now and then I still find myself getting stuck in the past and I just need to remind myself that my future is the only thing that matters and focusing on improving myself is the only thing that will make me feel truly happy.
My life is still far from perfect; I'm stuck in a dead end job, have no real friends and am still a good 30-40 lbs overweight but I am making progress towards my goals each and every day and I can only hope that one day I am able to conquer my yesterday and live in a better tomorrow.
Good luck king

For me (even though not shown) its the way he tells faye and even Jet how he HAS to do this. I relate to that emotion so hard. Some things you can’t help but feel and based off your past it can lead you to make decisions only you understand even if that decision can be detrimental to you...
Felt chills for the whole video. This is so good. Good song choice and scenes from cowboy bepop. Thank you for this. 🙏
When I was younger, I could understand this Anime to a certain degree. Mainly I just watched it for the action. But now that I'm older and a bit wiser this anime was more than the action. I never understood what it exactly means to "carry that weight". Now that life has hit me harder... I understand it now more than ever

"I’ve been seeing the past in one eye, and the present in the other, so I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture."
"I felt like I was watching a dream I’d never wake up from… Hmp. Before I knew it, the dream was all over."

"Depersonalization can consist of a detachment within the self, regarding one's mind or body, or being a detached observer of oneself. Subjects feel they have changed and that the world has become vague, dreamlike, less real, lacking in significance or being outside reality while looking in." - Wikipedia. I'm 33 yo, and i was diagnosed with that like 6 months ago due to a depression cause my mother killed herself 5 years ago, all your emotions feels like strange and if anything was real at all like living in a dream, that's why you need to find out if you are really living because anything feels real. I can say that is painful when you try to find a meaning and get yourself together, because you need to rewire all your emotions. Anyways, i can understand now how Spike Spiegel was feeling, this is a deep anime, blows your mind in pieces, i watched it when i was 17 yo. Everyone of us need a meaning, please listen Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and try to get yourself together. Be responsible and truthful. Nobody cares maybe but thank you.

Cowboy Bebop is severely underrated; very complex, but oozing with style and noire.
Ping Pong the Animation is underrated also. Like Cowboy Bebop, it has depth and unique style but it isn't as dark.

The construction of the Cowboy bebop universe is so masterfully executed. Anyone can see the time and effort put into the writing. Not many anime or manga can stand the test of time the same way that we've seen Cowboy Bebop do it. The adult themes and real world concepts put into the story, masked in well thought out, well placed comedy, make the show stand at the highest tier.
This is a toonami promo right here

The thing about Cowboy Bebop is that the meaning of the show changes as you get older. If you watched it 5 years ago, give it another watch. Last year? Another watch.
Everything in this show is about internilizing what hurts us, and grinding out the man-hours to put some beef in that bell peppers and beef. Its more relivant as you grow up. Because the more you understand about the real world, the more this show hurts you.

Idk usually in animes now, they have some message like “believe in yourself”, “keep going” and “don’t give up”. “Carry that weight” is just a lot different, it isn’t like the most motivational but it almost feels really real to the world. Almost like a “own your struggles”. Idk if I’ve ever seen another show like this one in that regard. It’s melancholy and downbeat

I get back to this video a lot , huge props to musician and creator who posted this , perfectly gives you every feel you get after watching bebop 💜
lovely how fandoms can really reflect the image of a particular anime,
happy to be one of this fandom, birds of a feather flock together.
I was never sure if these two had feelings for each other, but you can't deny the emotion behind her words, especially when she says, ''Where are you going?'' Like gosh
yup my friend we're not meant to stay here forever. Like him we're going one day.
I mean it's never explicitly stated but to me the Bebop crew became family, Fate, she spends this whole time with the Spike and the others thinking she's out of place running away and trying to find peace with her past.
Thanks to the crew she gets knowledge of her past and thinks it will give her some meaning but like she says "There was no place left for me to return to" is very telling for how the story unfolds, Spike is a man that should have died twice already in his pursuit of chasing what the past means to him through Julia, you can see it in how his personality entirely shifts the moment even her name comes up.
Spike tells Faye "Forget the past it doesn't matter" because he knows what pain not being able to live in the present causes. When spike talks of his eyes one seeing the present and one seeing the past it's always been interesting to me and reminds me a lot of a Gurren Lagann quote from Kamina that was cut from the English dub and is really hard to find a direct quote of in English but I'll paraphrase how I remember it.
"Do you know why god gave us eyes in the front of our heads Simon?, If we had eyes in the back of our heads we'd only see our homes getting further away, God gave us eyes in the front of our heads so we can look forward to the future."
I think this quote really plays off the idea of being stuck in the past like the bebop crew and how those who can't forget their past are damned to longing of their homes lost to time. This is why Faye shoots the roof in an attempt to bluff to keep Spike from leaving, because the bebop crew is her future, it's truly something they all should have been doing, looking to the future to make a life for themselves instead of looking to the past as their homes dissipated into nothingness. First Jet with his ex-wife and the pocket watch frozen in time there was no place for him to return to. Just like Faye we when we look to the past we have nowhere to return to, the past is the past because it's gone, that's why it's so tragic when spike says "I'm going to find out if I'm really alive" because we all know why Spike is leaving, he's attempting to go out in a blaze of glory because now that Julia is dead, he too has no place to return to, and that's why Faye knows he's not coming back, because her and Jet decided to let the past go, where as Spike, he lives the way of Bushido and can't let his past go, he must die for his Lady and do what's right.
tl;dr I'm a massive fucking nerd and I've watched this show like 15 times
@@RadarFinsR well said.
I think after she realized she had to live in the present, she also realized that she was in love with spike but never thought about it cause she was too busy finding out stuff from her past
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440Why does it have to be romantic love? She's never shown any romantic attraction towards Spike. It's closer to how you love a family member or a friend.

This one statement is deep on so many levels. Spike ran from his past for so long until he realized in the end he had to confront it to truly move forward and find peace.

He doesn't move forward. He can't without Julia. These are the literal lyrics that play while Spike thinks about Julia and then attacks the syndicate.

The edit at 1:15 where the ship takes off after he delivers the line is so good, definitely gives me chills. Great video!
I know right :)
I always returning to this edit. It’s comforting in a way.
this edit gave me literal chills and goosebumps, fantastic job
Cowboy bebop really taught me the values of belonging. How once someone finds where they truly belong what ever the conditions may be you'd still find happiness. All the adventures and memories you make and take along the way wouldn't be as important of you're not having it with the right people, the people you belong with. People subconsciously know when they don't belong whether it be friends, groups, places, home, family. So you feel isolated eventhough you are surrounded by many people, you feel homeless despite having a place to eat, sleep, live. It is when you actually find where you belong, you feel satisfied and truly happy.
I'm 32 years, and everytime I watch this scene my heart and bones and soul cry
your edit is what made me want to watch this show. And now 2 years later, out of the 200 anime I've watched, this is my favourite ever. Thanks a lot and great work !

Me: *oh yeah, now I see what's wrong with his left eye...*
Angelina Hylian
I still don't see it...
Joshua Manjarrez His left eye is a cybernetic implant. That's why one of his eyes is a lighter shade of brown in the closeups. When he's reminiscing on the past throughout the show, it always shows a closeup of his left eye as it's the one he claims stares into the past.
Danny M
Now *eye* see it.
I forgot about that.
I could never fucking tell which one was the cybernetic eye
You mean right eye?
See you,space cowboy..

I'm not crying you're crying...
I'm not crying.
We are crying
I cry every damn time
“You’re gonna carry that weight”. Do y’all even now what this means? Our minds are the weight we carry. When you don’t have control of it, it creates a cold world. It’s when People take the world their mind has created for reality that they created suffering for themselves.
No, it's referencing a song lyric. All the episodes names are cultural references.
DefenestrateYourself I’m sure that was the intention but a lot of the times insights aren’t slipped into things purposely. Like do you think the makers of the matrix knew the message they were subliminaly sending.

I believe its talking about the weight of your past. The entire show is based around these people trying to free themselves from the "frozen time" that the past brought them. Once they dealt with their pasts, they were finally free. There is a lot of symbolism around this in the show.
@@oofers9768 Thats true. your past is a memory tho. Just a story in your mind that keeps you suffering if you hold onto it.
This edit makes me feel heavily about my self and brings me to tears it makes me want to live
One of the only shows that brings me down to tears every time I watch it
Check point: After I broke up with my first and only love when i was 21, I became empty. Now at 36 I have been with many women, traveled to many places, done more things than most ppl my age, i have a good programming job, a life that ppl envy. But that emptiness has never gone away. I pretend to be something more than i am, and ppl around me eat it up, wanting to be like me. If only they knew how i actually feel every day. Im not depressed, i have never contemplated suicide. The void grows every year but i have come to terms with it. Life is all about chasing that light at the end of the tunnel that we will never reach.
Dude, did you write this on Reddit? I just remember absolutely the same one there
Well friend go to Sporeworks.com and grow Psilocybe cubensis. Travel inward
The light is in you my friend, other people see it why not you, not at the end of the tunnel. I second the mushroom idea.
i am much younger than you and am not affected by breakups yet i share that same void not suicide not crying just empty i feel many emotions and put on shows of who 'i' am but really i just want to do the most stupid shit to feel the rush and finally live because away from people at night i lay mad at people who hurt me and sad with myself for not being better and it mixes into something that cant be fixed at this point.

How are you now?
The past doesn't matter, because your past is your future.
I start my days with this video/edit, its just a good edit and i appreciate it and the sentiment it carries
everytime i hear it ...remind me of my brother who passed away 1.5 year ago ....my god ,i never thought about suicide but god damn that music combined with the night and me being in my room alone just makes me think the pain is so damn hard .
past is always better ....
damn sorry to hear about that. stay strong!
I think that's the beauty of it, you can't run from how real it all is. You do have to carry that weight. But you are strong enough to do so. Keep going, please.
No worries i am not suicidial in mind ,but i never thought thinking of the past and my brother would bring me into tears...
I'm so sorry for your loss, brother
You ok?
Just wanted to say, I think the reason why Spike likes using a gun is because you can disassociate the violence that comes with killing, he hates killing, but it's all he reall knows.
While his counter-part likes a sword. He likes to go in, make and see you bleed. He wants to clearly see your expression, he ENJOYS it.
Just my comment in a sea of opinions.
See you around

Like this idea, nice interpretation
Episode 26 was pure goosebumps. One of the best short anime I’ve watched in my life
