I like Faye Valentine

Published on Monday, March 17, 2008

 

I guess I gave Cowboy Bebop its 2/​5 rat­ing a bit pre­ma­turely last time, af­ter watch­ing only two episodes. I’m at episode 9 out of 26 now, and as far as I can tell there’s still no plot, but there’s Faye Valentine, and that’s good enough for me. (Finally a hot anime chick that doesn’t make me a pe­dophile!) Bumping Cowboy Bebop up to 3/​5.

Maybe I should give Naruto a chance too. … Nah.

I just re­al­ized there’s a Cowboy Bebop movie. Here’s a clip of Faye, wawawee­wah! I like!

    Faye IS ridicu­lously hot. Once the show ex­plores more of her back­story and stuff, she gets to be more in­ter­est­ing than just a hot space pi­rate.
    Not to give away any spoil­ers if you havn’t seen the se­ries fi­nale, she starts to show some gen­uine af­fec­tion for her crew­mates at the end.
    Cowboy Bebop kicks some ass, equal­ing Outlaw Star at LEAST IMO :]

    I’ve seen the en­tire se­ries mul­ti­ple times, and al­though I’m not sure I would say it has one sin­gle all-​​encompassing plot (nor should it, not many do), it DOES have mul­ti­ple plots.

    I would say Bebop is more about each of the main character’s back-​​stories. I would say Spike’s past with the syn­di­cates is the ‘main’ plot, with the most amount of ded­i­cated episodes. This is as it should be, as Spike is pretty much the main character.

    Faye would prob­a­bly be sec­ond in line, with mul­ti­ple back-​​story episodes. This of course means Jet is last, though if you in­clude episodes that in­clude his ties with his ‘pre­vi­ous life’ and pre­vi­ous al­lies, he is close to Faye, if not ahead of her. He of­ten con­sults one spe­cific char­ac­ter for in­for­ma­tion on his bounties.

    Even Edward and the “Datadog” have their own episodes that ex­plore their back-​​stories.

    So there­fore, THAT is the plot of Bebop, and it truly is a good se­ries. As far as I’ve ever seen, it’s highly re­garded as one of the best. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen com­ments like “it’s good, but it’s no Bebop”, so that should tell you how a good many peo­ple feel about it.

    Besides the back-​​stories, there are of course some episodes that sim­ply explain/​delve fur­ther into the ‘uni­verse’ that this is all hap­pen­ing in, and also some that are purely for entertainment’s sake.

    I would hope that maybe see­ing all the episodes, and pos­si­bly even see­ing this com­ment, might change your opin­ion of the se­ries. I would rate it a 4.5/5 my­self :D
