| Not the most exciting episode. |
 |
| This was so boring. probably the worst episode on the whole series. can't believe we are 21 episodes in and there's still no plot and we get episodes like this. The 5 episodes left has to be amazing for me to give CB a high score so far it's been a disappointing show 6/10 |
| Pretty boring episode. |
 |
| At first I thought it was so interesting as it then proved as it has gone ahead with the narration. Just a shame that it is interlocutory in its intent, but the episode is still enjoyable to watch, at least we know a little better the character of Jet. Ein and Ed, are geniuses! Cigarettes and horoscopes, are not necessary in life. |
 |
| Jet's the MAN! Good episode |
 |
| The weakest episode so far. I didn't care one bit about the girl's story and the way it was resolved was seriously weak. It didn't help that her voice actor was very, very meh. |
| does not compare to the other episodes but the grill was cute :) |
 |
| Quite boring episode. At least the gril was cute. :) |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I enjoyed this episode, I thought it was sweet. Jet helping an old friends daughter on a quest to find him and then they did and she at least got to say a sad goodbye to him. Awww. When Ed asked if the girl was Jet's girlfriend, that was funny and the way she came in with the tray. Then later when Jet said at his age he could be his boyfriend then said no, older brother lol. Kicking out Spike and Faye when smoking too! If only they knew these days, you'd be kicked out of everywhere for smoking. |
 |
| I wish Meifa played a bigger part in the show. The Bebop crew could use a Feng Shui master, right? Absolutely! |
 |
| honestly this was quite interesting, better than Wild Horses episode. Meifa was quite cute. |
| Boring, nothing special, meh. |
 |
| The last few sentences are summarizing my thoughts on this episode quite well. Nothing changed. |
| I'm sad again cuz we went from one of the best episodes to one of the worst episodes. I was bored except the smoking ban joke. Heck, even the sad scene was forced as fuck. The "boyfriend" joke was so cringe, stop. |

| Decent episode not the best but eh... Got to see more Jet. The shipping of him and the daughter was pretty fun with ED. |
 |
| I had a feeling that Pao would die in the end, this show rarely tells a happy story. |
  |
| At least he probably heard her say “but...” before disappearing forever into the void or wherever tf he is hiding Does spike have aimbot installed on his ship or something because he was able to hit a puny rock while speeding through hyperspace in one shot... jet was like here’s a rock I’m gonna just eject from the ship, shoot it please |

| a lot of mysteries for almost nothing. even the little action wasn't that good. probably the worst episode in the series, |
| It's true that nothing much happened in this episode, but Jet is probably my favorite character so I don't mind, I'm always looking forward to one of his episodes, they always have something touching in them. Plus, Meifa's story was very nice, nothing exceptional since it has been done many, many times, but the execution was very good. It wasn't one of Cowboy Bebop's best episodes but I really liked it nonetheless. |
 |
| I'm honestly baffled that the reception to this episode was so weak, I think it's actually one of the better ones so far. Certainly beats the shitty clown episode at least. Meifa had a cute design, and I think she worked pretty well when paired with Jet. He's also (probably) my favorite character so far, so it's always nice to see more of him. The comedy wasn't side-splitting, but it did keep me smiling and elicit a few chuckles. And I was actually somewhat engaged in the mystery. It was fairly predictable, but I still think it was well executed and the ending was sweet. |
| This felt like such a pointless episode. No substantial character development, and a boring plot. Sympathy for the devil was pretty bad, but at least it was memorable and kind of entertaining. I just watched this episode and I'm already having trouble remembering this and that... Pretty forgettable episode. |

AlexanderHD said: Screw everyone in this forum for complaining lol. Jet is a fricking awesome character. Totally underrated and probably one of my favorites. He's almost superior to Spike for Pete sake. (In terms of intellect, responsibility, and socialness.) People said not much happened in the episode, and they're right... but this episode was at least simple and easy to follow unlike other ones. I'll agree that it wasn't the BEST episode but it was just fine. In fact that's why I'm here in the first place... just to remind everyone how awesome Jet is. I loved the very last line in the episode. About how nothing changes except the fact that he now no longer reads the fortune telling sections in magazines. That classic Cowboy Bebop charming dialogue. Jet is my favorite character in the series. And that's the reason this episode went from "mediocre" to "bad" in my book. Every episode that was centered around Jet, in some way, was a banger in every aspect, but this episode was so forgettable, bland, and pointless, that I'm baffled, in a way, for them having Jet tell this boring story. |

| I enjoyed this episode. Sure, it's not the best one, but it's not the worst either, in my opinion. A lot of people say that Meifa's history is dull, but I feel like that's the case with most side characters, seeing as CB is episodic. I still liked her as a character though. Anyway, what's pretty funny about this episode to me is how the entire crew goes out of their way to entertain a random girl's dreams. It just conveys how driftless their lives all are. Jet didn't even believe in feng shui for most of the episode, but he decided to go on this little "treasure hunt" with Meifa because it felt like something new in his life, for once. He probably viewed it as some pseudo-adventure, and being with Meifa gave him a feeling of youth again. It also reinforced how kind Jet actually is. The ending was nice, too. Meifa, who had been longing to see her father all this time, gets to have one final farewell, and finally understands and forgives him. And so, she can move on with her life. It's also ironic how feng shui actually seems real. Overall, this episode is refreshing, and conveys CB's usual themes of life's driftlessness, nostalgia, irony, and endless search for meaning. |
| Interesting episode |
 |
| Did Jet really snap that guy's neck? It feels somewhat out-of-character for him to mercilessly kill someone like that. And then Spike somehow shooting that small rock in space. |
| Noticeably ugly episode by CB standards, rather limited animation and many off-model shots of the cast. |
| meh ship tease with jet and the girl. something something blackhole daddy issues. how the fuck this episode is great. also chinese weebo feng shui references |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Not quite my least favorite episode of the series, because it wasn't as boring as some of the earlier episodes, but still one of the worst. The ending was especially bad, and made the entire episode pointless. It was especially disappointing because the previous episode was so good. |

| Perla Liberatori <3 just two beautiful words and this episode is already good enough. Meifa is a good girl and i'm sad she discovered her father to be still alive just for the brief time of a final message and then passing away for real. Her bonding with Jet was nice to watch (the double joke about ice creams, lol) and it was cool by him to ban smoking when she was on board (seriously Spike and Faye, turn it off at least in such a moment). |
 |
If there's one thing that should be banned from the world, it's cigarettes. |
 |
| This episode gave some weird vibes, ngl. Not a fan of Jet being attracted to a kid. |
| Well...some people have already mentioned this but yeah, Jet and that girl's relationship had some unnecessarily weird vibes at times. 3/5 |
| Another episode with Jett on the foreground(first plane jaja), V I B E of sunset, park, flora, water, these particles on the screen, the harmony of all of the above and the assembled squad, tbh idk who put an important stone in just the middle of a decoration, but nvmnd, really great, Jett at the end as a narrator AND THE OUTRO/ENDING OMG 110% of volume and that freaks me off🗣️🗣️🔥🔥 |

This was so boring. probably the worst episode on the whole series.
can't believe we are 21 episodes in and there's still no plot and we get episodes like this.
The 5 episodes left has to be amazing for me to give CB a high score
so far it's been a disappointing show 6/10
