THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
12-13. Two episodes that are darker in tone than usual and they were good and intense. Now, what I want to know is what happened to Feye and how does she now vincent. Anyway, it's great how does this whole thing seem to be connected somehow.

These last two episodes were really good, nicely done and round. Loved the introduction and the ending with the sitting Bull on Titan.

I really liked how the ending to this arc wasn't big and over the top but very subtle and passive (in a good way). Also, had a very deep and touching moment towards the end and the sitting bull full circle moment was epic.

Agreed, it was a beautiful and subtle ending - to me this arc sums up what Cowboy Bebop as a series is capable of. I loved the "Do you have a comrade?" at the end of the song. A very moving episode.

They way the story is told, without actual telling us much, is just so captivating. This is the episode that proves Vicious isn't one-dimensional. He is a very complex character that stopped believing in anything and fell from grace.

I'm not sure about the war and the time Vicious met Gren, but I guess it happened between the time Vicious and Spike were comrades in Red-Dragon and the present. There was also this great companionship between the two, even brother-ship, where the two looked up to each-other. Then there is this common link that is Julia (that is still shrouded in mystery in this point). Anyway, at some point Spike wanted out, the last "job" went wrong, and looking at it this way it's as if Spike was the one who betrayed Red-Dragon and Vicious.

The ending was simply phenomenal. The group had its quarrels, but they know better that their differences aren't reason enough to abandon what they accomplished so far. They are important to each-other at this point.

Phenomenal storytelling here. It never ceases to amaze me how this series is able to take these one-shot characters and make them memorable. In the case of Gren I actually felt sad for him. I think I may of gotten goosebumbs at the end. In short:

It's a art, I say.
While I'm still confused as to all the events that occurred, I liked what I saw. The music continues to impress, and it seems all the characters have grown, especially Faye and Spike.

So Julia is finally starting to become a plot element, one thing that got me thinking is what did fade(Blue haired girl) said when she mentioned Julia was she reffering to gren or to Julia the actual one

Knew they'd get back together but thought Spike would get the bounty.. Seems better this way though because it shows Jet is accepting either way... He just wants his friend back.

of course.. I think Jet and Spike are good friends and even though they "argued" they knew they'd get back on as a team again. It's like one of those good friendships that I've seen in many anime's where they say they don't care/won't take the friend back, but in the end (like all good friends) reconcile.

Great episode.. Both parts, episode 12+13. It was.. captivating to say at the very least, I wanted to know more but, it just went on... Upset that he died at the end, wish he could've said more about Julia/whereabouts. But it did explain characters a little bit more.. and it makes you think.
"Who's Vicious.. Why did he have to deal with him? How is Julia tied up with all these people? How is Julia such a big impact on Vicious/Spikes lives? Only time will tell."
By far.. it reveals so much.. but so little. And the ending.. the tear of a warrior. Great saying..(imo)

I KNEW Cowboy Bebop would make this two-parter truly spectacular! Ridiculously deep histories are given to brand new characters that all link to the protagonists in really meaningful ways; the two-parter can stand up on it's own, yet adds more to the overall storyline by hinting to a dark past that Spike is hiding; the tension slowly mounts until it reaches a standoff that results in an all-out dogfight sequence, which is tightly directed and exciting throughout; and it all ends on an extremely emotional note that links back to the seemingly out-of-place opening of the first episode.

And the power of this two-parter is only ever increased when a beautiful new song introduces the credits, and when a question that directly quotes the episode ends it. 9.5/10

Great episode some more back story on spike and this Julia person I do wonder if he'll ever find her! Lets hope that the writers put another arc for her in the anime somewhere! This 2 parted episode was quite lovely with story development!

We're also now in 50% of the Anime so lets see what the second half has to offer!

Great two part episode. The ending really brought everything together. I really liked that ending song, enough that I will go searching for it later, it had a kind of Somber African Chant style in it, which really fit the mood and the direction of the episode. I am finding myself intrigued by Vicious and I really want to get to know his philosophy more and more.

Unfortunately, I won't be finishing this anime by today, some unexpected things came up, I'll get one with this show by tomorrow.

It's been a ride so far, let's hope the second half improves and expands on the story even more.
