"Im not going there to die, i'm going there to find out if I'm really alive"

As I get older I connect with this show so much more. Your past really do haunts you (old relationships, old friends, people you've lost, different career paths, missed opportunities) ... you do carry that weight.

Men only think about the past right before their death. As if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive. -Jet Black, 2071

[oh]

I love how crazy and energetic the cowboy bebop universe is, but at the same time there’s brief periods where you don’t know the story of so many perspectives and you’re kind of lost in this big space world with nothing but 4 people. That speaks more loneliness than having just one character’s journey

Check point: This week I was diagnosed with fibrosis on my liver and at the rate its going, it doesnt look good. I always come back to this song when looking into the void.
Brothers, do not fear death, look at it straight in the eyes, raise your hand, point at death. Bang!

I think that Faye realized that her past was gone in the last couple of episodes- so she showed more empathy towards spike and jet and even edward because I think she finally realized that these people WERE her family, even if they weren't related by blood. I think she convinced herself she belonged some place else, when in reality she was right where she needed to be. And when she finally realized this, the crew disbanded.

With all the fun sci-fi antics, Bebop at its core is about a bunch of people trying to find who they truly are.

[abisheklimboo]

So ironical to hear " no matter the past, you still have future " from someone who could never let go of his past.

“You’re gonna carry that weight” such a powerful statement

[kittiusmaximus]

I just realized, during the final fight with Vicious, Spike's real left eye is forced closed due to his blood covering it, leaving him to only be able to look out of his right eye, the one he "sees the past" with

This anime left me empty when I finished it

When you see the series you expect an episodical slice of life action anime, where everything happens and absolutely nothing backfires in the next episode. You feel like these characters could be there forever, following their arc cycle (Faye going away, Jet staying alone in the Bebop, Spike trying to get himself killed), but no. These dudes have lived enough; Faye is close to being 80, Jet has countless stories with the police and Spike had a bloody past before. Therefore, they won't be here for long; so when you become attached to the anime, when you feel you can stay watching them forever, the final episode comes up, just after 26 episodes, and Spike dies. That's when you notice you weren't watching a compelling story, a great purpose, a big mission; you were just seeing the last days of a doomed man. During those days, he meets some people, but in the end, his ending is already written. His days have already expired, now he's living his last nightmare after waking up alongside the woman of his dreams. This is why this series is incredible... it's too unique.

The real meaning of Cowboy bebop is in acceptance of the unexpected things in life. Life can get pretty fucked up at times but you always have the final say on how you are going to react. You might feel otherwise but the reality is that things just happen to you, no rhyme or reason. You get to decide how you're gonna take it, and what your next step will be. When things go wrong or I'm faced with a seemingly insurmountable hardship, sometimes, I look in the mirror and say to myself; "Whatever happens, happens..." as a Taoist reminder to go with the flow. It's pretty good, actually. 😌

[Incinerateddd]

"Im not going there to die, i'm going there to find out if I'm really alive" is one of those modern pieces of literature that could literally come from an ancient text piece and be passed down for hundreds of years as a bone chilling line.

[okeoi]

As much as I love all these characters, can we get take a moment to appreciate Jet and how he held the crew together the most, even if it often included his poor cooking skills. He was the Mom of the Bebop and his past may not be the main focus, but it is still just as tragic.

[Spitfire__]

"Whatever happens, happens" will forever be one of my favorite lines from anime for the rest of my life. While Bebop is shorter than many out there it really told a lot in such little time which is why I cherish it as one of my top favorites. 🚬
