<Jet> "Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of stops and starts. There are ends we don't desire, but they are inevitable. We have to face them.

Episode Review

Review By bebop
Indeed a strange episode. The jist of it is that a former docter starts this strange cult called the Scratch. In which the members believe that they should give up their bodies so they can live an eternity in computers. A good episode because it gets you to think about a lot of things, but it is unlikely it is worth watching more than once or twice. Overall it is good, as all of Bebop is, but not as good as some other Bebop episodes. 7.5/10

Review By Silencer
An interesting episode, has some funny parts but in reality not much action this episode. You get to find out how truely intelligent Ein really is in this episode. And Brain Scratch is an interesting cult. Overall not one of the best episodes but not too shabby. 7/10

Episode Review

Review By bebop
As a hardcore fan of Ed I am both delighted by this episode and disapointed. I am delighted because this episode is what we have come to expect from the episodes based around Ed, and thats down right hilarious. Also you get to meet Ed's dad, hes a funny guy and large too! As Spike finds out when he gets in a fist fight with him. However I am disapointed because this is the episode where Ed leaves. Overall it is a great ep with plenty of humor and a great episode for fans of the Radicle Edward. 9/10

Review By Silencer
A great episode except for the fact that this is Ed's last episode on the show. You get to meet Ed's dad who is really funny and you find out where Ed got her personality. Ed's Dad is also a very tough fighter and his fight with spike is really quite funny. If you forget that this is Ed's last episode I rate it 8.5/10

Episode Review

Review By bebop
The beginning of the end for Bebop. This episode contains a lot of awesome action sequences. But the highlite of the episode is that after seeing so many of Spike's flashbacks of his apperent former love Julia, you finally get to meet her. The only downside is that you only see her in two episodes, which is most unfortunate becuase Julia is a stylish and interesting character. Overall a great episode, but not for fans of Bebop humor, as it is highly lacking in the last two episodes. 9/10

 

Episode Review

Review By bebop
This is the end for Bebop. And unfortunaly several cool characters along the way. As I begin to think about how to say this, I get to thinking that you will either love or hate the ending. For fans of drama this episode is a godsent, however if you like your endings happy you may just want to sit this episode out. As for the techniqualities this ep is perfect. The visuals are spectacular, the action scenes are more than perfect, the music is definalty ear pleasing, and lastly the ending, though sad, is quite satisfying and won't leave you dissapointed. Although as said before I would have preferred a happier ending I am glad that the creators of this 'genre breaking' anime did not go with the standard happily ever after. Overall, regardless on your opinions on the ending you should still enjoy this episode. Enjoy it while it lasts though because from the looks of it, it seems unlikely there will be a sequel. 10/10

Favorite Quote:

<Londes> "The souls that god has given us, our spirits, our spirits, which found a way to swim through the immense network and live in the infinity of space. Is not the human body a mere shell, a form of exisitence all too small and weak for conciousness with such vast reach and potential?"

Favorite Quote:

<Ed> " I think I know, I don't think I know, I don't think I think I know, I don't think I think. "

Favorite Quote:

<Spike> " There was a woman. First time I found someone truely alive. Atleast that is what I thought. She was the part of me I'd lost somewhere along the way. The part that was missing. The part I was longing for.

Favorite Quote:

<Spike> "I felt like I was watching a dream I'd never wake up from. Before I knew it the dream was all over.

<Jet> "So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?" <Faye> "Ordinary, the kind of dangerous beautiful ordinary that you just can't leave alone." <Jet> "I see" <Faye> Like an Angel from the Underworld or a Devil from paradise."
