What's with the fan service in the ED? It seems strange for a mystery/action show as the first episode seems to indicate. Is there anything in the manga that makes this justifiable? I mean I enjoyed seeing it but found it a little out of place.

Well it seems like Umetsu did the character design and likely was the director of the ED... the guy loves fanservice; plain and simple.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."

Was it out of place? Probably. But was it hot? You bet your ass it was.

I would be more surprised if I saw girls that looked like they came out of Kite/Mezzo and it didn't have fanservice.

Isn't it the guy behind Kite and Mezzo and didn't they both have hardcore sex scenes? If so...well, there's your answer.

Beyond happy I'm not the only one who thinks the fanservice in ED is bull. Hope they restrict it to the ED, so I can at least skip it from now on.

First It is really well drawn.

Second it's better to put the fan service in the ED as randomly (and stupidly) in the story. It's only an ED after all and my main hope concerning ED is that I won't notice too many spoilers from it. Senseless fan-service is great from this point of view.

I've seen that also in other show (the first ED of kyouka by kioani !)

In the end, it's ok or even good that way.

OP is way better though.

In terms of the sequence or the visuals, the OP kicks ass (even though the ED is pretty hot LMAO). But if we're talking about the song, the ED is better by a milestone.

No, the manga is very serious.
The fanservice is only in ED.

Yeah even I found it weird, Its like a slideshow of stripping....They shouldn't have made that ( I mean the Personality of the MC doesn't seem like she would pose in such a fashion) , but anyways the story is good, So Ill forgive....

I don't really care so much about the fanservice .... the vocals on it remind me of Valshe's voice. But I guess it wasn't her.... unless she's part of a group or something, now.

well at least they put the fanservice at the ending not in the story, and the song just fit perfectly with it so i don't see any problem at all...

Well first of all the character design is done by Yosuomi Umetsu who is known for kite/kite Liberator (mature hentai ova series);well he loves his stuff.
I was so confused when I saw the ED.The main character Juri was so similar to Sawa(from kite);so then I find out that Yosuomi Umetsu was the character designer.(re:this man makes beautiful female characters.)

Instead of the ED, can we talk about how it has the greatest OP of all time?

Cowboy Bebop definitely ranks up there in the Greatest OP's of All Time.

It definitely doesn't fit after some episodes, like after the recent one. But hey, Juri is pretty young, good looking, single woman. I don't mind some fanservice of her in mostly neutral manner as in ED :).

I don't really follow. Cowboy Bebop is jazz whereas this one is more alternative rock.

I'm not sure why some of you guys are hating on the ED. Personally I think it's the best ED of the season. The song is amazing (I seriously can't get enough of it) and Juri looks so freaking cute and sexy in it too. So put the Hateraid away and just enjoy it bros.

I have overall changed my impression on what they were trying to do with the OP and ED sequences. Ending sequence is still giving way more sense than the opening one, but there is merit to both.

Desperate marketing. It's pathetic, because the story is engaging and stands on its own.

Did the mangaka approve of his work and characters being turned into a masturbation session? It's disrespectful to make erotic official material out of a non-ecchi manga and it's also false advertisement.
