I like the fact that Suzuka will be on their side now. A pretty good episode.

Nice on Gene. You sure showed Melfina women's place.

Suzuka will be a much needed powerup for the Outlaw.

Gene was a little bit creepy feeling Melfina up like that! Classic ecchi character.

dammit gene can you not try to hump everyone and it seems jim has some mom stuff going on. gatta love the fact the show keeps moving at a nice pace with action and story and you would think gene would ask for help with the whole bleeding thing.

This episode was pretty good, though it started very sedate. The elfin enemy seems like at least a minor villain that will incite some changes in our heroes (sort of like Udō Jin-e in Rurouni Kenshin). I don't remember this episode at all when I watched the show in elementary school on Toonami. I assume the change I'm predicting will be that they have to leave the planet for a serious life in space. One gripe about this episode is that I wish Gene wasn't almost a sexual criminal. It seems that this is part of showing how he will have to leave his childish behavior behind (along with his wound at the end of the episode).

Quick work by Suzuka!! Not surprised how Suzuka will probably replace Hilda as the femme fatale of the team.

Still have to wonder why the pirates are attacking Gene. Heck, they couldn't careless about Melfina, even though she was originally the objective of their former leader.

Now, we have to see ClanClan Aisha back!!

Honestly, I know there have been comparisons and all. But I'm starting to prefer this more than Cowboy Bebop.

This feels more like an actual space cowboy with bounty hunting while Cowboy Bebop focuses mostly on just Spike and more personal, while Gene is just here along the ride, until he probably meets Mcdougal and the people responsible for his dad's death.

Gonna be interesting how the two stack up by the end!

Pumped about Suzuka joining in. She probably has something against the Kei pirates. She's so cool.

This is starting to pick up now, and I legitimately enjoyed the fights this episode. I'm hoping it just picks up even more, because so far it seems like it's still struggling to figure out what it wants to do. Even Gene is staying on the fence about their position, even after getting attacked by pirates.

I've noticed the animation is a lot more choppy than I remember as a kid but damn. That Suzuka fight was rough as can be.

Animation this time had less problem and the fight choreography is now much better. And I feel attach to the story now.

I said it before and I'll say it again. James' is the best part of this entire show!

Also the cops on that planet are 100% okay on a 11 y/o boy having his own car but they also let him drive it around town? Without a license, probably without one....

James is so sweat and innocent, calling Melfina "like a mother"
Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣
