This was an ok episode, it felt kind of short and like not much was going on. I like how when there smoking inside they don't use an ashtray but when they were kicked outside they had those can for there ashes, seems backwards to me.

Alright episode, but was a bit slow and nothing substantial happened. Overall decent episode.

It was a pretty boring episode really, nothing much happened at all - just slight moments of humour like the smoking ban lol.

The only thing that I liked about this episode was Mefia.
She's a cool secondary character.

Compared to Mad Pierrot's case, Mefia's history is a bit... dull.

I like the reference to the 4 Chinese beast gods. Of course I just finished Fusigi Yuugi, but I like it when there is some common link between 2 series.

Indiana Jones in my Bebop? Jet was right, it was a strange story.

I guess the father just wanted to see his daughter one more time? Anyway, it was nice seeing Jet's softer side. Ice Cream!

This is one of the weaker episodes of Cowboy Bebop despite featuring 3 of my favorite scenes in the anime: Jet interrogating the mobster, the smoke-ban and Jet's reluctancy to realize he's too old for the girl - There's some great moments in there but in the end it's just a treasure hunt episode xD

Not one of my favorites, but not bad either.
Mei-Fa's eyes were a bit to spread apart on her face, though. Small quirks like that bother me xD

It's always great to see Jet get the main role in an episode!! That was a kinda unusual episode though, but still undeniably enjoyable!

Eh, that episode was okay. Nothing really important happened and it felt like a bit of a side story. No particularly great action scenes or character moments either. 6.5/10

I like the premise; fun filler, adds a much-needed "adventure" feel. But it suffers from too much plot crammed into 20 minutes, like many CB episodes

Decent episode. Jet continues to impress and entertain me. Edward was also cute in this episode.

Couldn't finish the anime yesterday but I shall finish it today.

WORST EPISODE OF COWBOY BEBOP BY MILES

ESPECIALLY AFTER PIERROT LE FOU, THE GREATEST TV ANIME EPISODE OF ALL TIME

I GAVE IT AN ONE
It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on.

Don't all Cowboy Bebop episodes feel like a side story? I thought that was kind of the series main "thing."

Anyway, I liked it a lot - among the better episodes of the series, in fact. It's quite bitter and emotional yet touching. Few tales can be as tragic as the frayed bonds of a father and daughter.

Yeah, it's a bit sad that Cowboy Bebop is clearly a episodic anime. When I heard how great it was I expected something else. I guess I'm not really into the episodic thing
Anyway, this was an ok episode. I love Ed, she is so funny XD

Definitely not one of the better ones but it still had it's cool moments. It's charming on it's own, it's just not great in terms of Bebop standards

So Jet thinks he's more of the "boyfriend" because he's not that old... man, that thought never crossed my mind.. the kid was obviously a minor and he looks like he's in his 40's

Great episode!

Lol Jet seems to be attracted to young girls :P

Nah i don't really blame him for feeling that way. When you really old, you missed stuff that you love back when you were young.

Shame about Pao, Jet and her solve all these riddles only to see his father die right in front of her.

Also i just notice that everyone at the Bebop ship does smoke!!! They really should designate a no smoking area!

So hopefully the last 5 episodes will be about Spike's past and hopefully Julia will make an appearance :P

Can't wait for this!
