I love how Spike can make a fight look utterly one sided just by smiling, even when it’s clear he’s running for his life.

I love how she doesn't mindlessly shoots everywhere and miss the shots but instead carefully aiming it which makes it a little realistic

2:45 man she has to turn up that mouse sensitivity

One of the things I like most about this is that unlike a lot of anime protagonists, Spike is making it up as he goes along. He doesn't have some mega-advanced nuclear psychotic 115-step plan to make it through security and get the whatever. He just like. shows up in a janitor's uniform, gets caught by the first person he sees, and then has to improvise from there. It's very in keeping with the spirit of the show.

That "En garde!" with half a mop, always cracks me up.

[yagirl]

okay but props to the animators holy shit…. the detail put into the fluid and swift motions of spike and electras movements are fucking amazing. i truly feel like this is one of the best anime fight scenes, which just goes to show that you dont need flashy lights, powers or characters to make a good fight scene. just smooth animation.

For all those complaining about Spike cleaning the wall by sweeping it, It’s actually a quick technique for dusting high lettering plaques from actual Janitors. When you're doing a quick clean through a hallway and a ladder isn't available or necessary, a quick few swipes of your broom dusts the letters just as effectively.
Otherwise you get dust build up on top of the names/locations and that doesn't look good for the building's sanitation.

The most important question: Did the coin land heads or tails?!

You just don't hear voice acting like Steve Blum anymore, damn. He was 100% there in the show.

[wantonmee]

bruh. you sweep floors with brooms not walls. no wonder you got caught

[GoBoomYay]

1:57
Steve Blum just jumped up on the list of my favorite voice actors ever.

"I love the kinda woman that kick can my ass." Truer words have never been said 😏

That truck driver at the end probably has PTSD now

"I don't know about this job anymore, man. I mean one moment I'm just delivering cargo like always, and the next thing I know - BAM! - I got 30 clips of lead up my ass "

Spike always move with a purpose. He is not just a great marshal artist, but a detective (modeled after the famous Japanese actor who played the Japanese detective) and a slight-of-hand pickpocket/magician! Even that coin had a purpose. SPOILER: It was a transmitter!

[jamesbevan]

Steve Blum and Jennifer Hale in the same scene = instant masterpiece.

[TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

Man, I love the animation. Not a single frame is wasted. There is constant movement.

[LunaP]

Spike's dialog before and during the fight was epic fun.  This made me love him even more.  :D

[Krazy_Hatter]

I like how when she does the first kick and Spike dodges he has this little “wow” look like a sort of compliment.
