| Very nice story... When Ed got electrocuted the look on her face was lol. |
 |
| Awesome episode. Not as much action as I would have liked, but the end part with the bird and the old guy, although really predictable, punched my soft spot. Awesome episode. |
 |
| lol a plan that was made 50 years ago O_O, nice xD and ha ha chess game for a whole week, too bad ed lost but still a great episode =] |
| Good episode, when Ed got electrocuted I laughed really hard. :D And yea the hippies :D But come on, since when do they give a fuck about Ed? Or are they actually becoming a family... :) |
| I liked this episode. :'D It seemed different from the rest, sort of... Maybe because they actually found the bounty and decided not to take moneh from the Gate Corp. And heh, Ed is either an idiot or a genius indeed~ |
| Haha yes Ed getting electrocuted and the rest of the team's non-chalant response to her recovery was a classic Cowboy Bebop moment! As an easter egg that the creator planted into this episode, (and for those who care enough) did you that the records of the two games that appeared on the computer (when Ed first planted the chess piece onto the chessboard) are actual games from history? They're not just any game either-- they're both Paul Morphy games. Woah, the CB creators really did do their research when making this show! |

| Why does there need to be a plot when the story is this good? I don't understand. Bittersweet ending and poor Ed getting electrocuted :3 She's adorable. |
 |
| lol, hippies in space. Those 3 gramps are really all over the place huh? |
Earth gets angry after a kick in the face. |
| Lol that episode made me want to learn chess now. :3 |

| Oh god those three old guys again |
| This was probably my favorite episode so far ^^ |
 |
| Now we know what Cartman did with all the hippies on Earth... |

 |
| HIPPIES!! I can't believe ED lost that game. She was doing so well in the beginning. |

| lulz, very light and overall feel-good episode. Ed getting electrocuted, the hippies on the ship, and the week-long chess match were all so win XD. Overall just so random and somewhat pointless. I guess I kinda get why this was named Bohemian Rhapsody. Great ending too, in keeping with how they never seem to collect a bounty. This is such an awesome show. |
 |
| I actually felt kind of sad at the end when the old man died, but it was nice that he was able to win his last chess game and die happy. |
| Anime where weed is smoked are few and far between, so that was nice. The bounty hunter at the end smoking a blunt with a "=D"-stoner face made me lol I'd want to like this show, but when there's no plot, the stories are mediocre and the comedy crappy, I just can't. I guess I'll have to watch to the end for the sake of it being a "classic" of sorts. |
| I liked this episode, it had a nice feel to it. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Comedy through and through. |
| Such a great episode. |
 |
| This is probably my favourite episode of the series so far. |
 |
| Lmao at the hippies haha, epic stuff |

| Second part starts off really well with a great plot! And Electric Ed was priceless xD Can someone who no longer has memories of the past be blamed for something done back then? It's a great question and I loved how they executed this episode. Great stuff. The old-man died doing what he loved the most. It was as if he was waiting for one more chance to have a good chess match. See You Space Cowboy... |
 |
| Got to say...this "lack of plot" complaint is pretty dumb. They are bounty hunter's you know? It's not like the entire series is going to be spent one bounty and, besides, the Bebop crew coming into contact with their pasts IS the main plot. Great episode, it hit all the right notes I have to say. The Ed electrocution scene was hilarious, especially the other threes reaction. Funny stuff. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Ed's voice actor must have so much fun. She hissed at Faye! Too funny. Great episode. |
| Kinda of a "meh" episode to me |
 |
| I thought ed was going to win too. I think that it's a good thing they didn't take the bounty, this way the corporation wont be after them to silence them. If they had asked for money the corporation will always think of them as a risk. |
| That was a pretty solid episode. The story-line had some nice mystery behind it, there were some funny moments and it was wrapped up very solidly. Nothing particularly standout or inventive about it, nor were there any particularly emotional moments, but a pretty solid episode nonetheless. 8/10 |
| Great episodes one of my favorites! Just a great story in this one! |
 |
| You know, when a series can pull you along and make you want to watch more WITHOUT central plot throughout most of the episodes, you know it's just genuinely good story telling. This is one of the reasons why Cowboy Bebop is regarded as such a classic. |
 |
| Is this real life ? One of my favorite queen songs turns out to be a great episode. Also Jet is officialy my #1 character for cowboy bebop , he said he didnt want Ed to lose her chess partner, awwww you softie you! Also was it just me or Ed had a chance to win and didnt take it just to continue the game? (Around the half of the episode) |
| The plot of this episode reminded me of a James Patterson book I've read: clever protagonist performs crimes based on their performance on an internet game. Wonderfully, the main difference with this episode is that he was playing with the legendary idiot/genius that is Ed.. Liked it a lot :} |
| Really good likeable characters in Cowboy Bebop really help bring out a wonderful script. |
| Oh this was just fucking dumb man. The business guy was offering to pay the crew a ton of money, and Jet declines it? Shit like this just ruins shows. I don't care what kind of BS excuse they have, nobody would have just said "nah keep the money." So fucking lame. Still a good show overall.. |
| HOW CAN THEY BREATH IN SPACE?! Did I miss something important regarding that or what? I feel like an idiot here since no one in the first page of the comment section has pointed this out... |
| The ending... poor guy. |
| Lol at the hippies : peace to the world, and love to my bank account ! |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
