There is a Cowboy Bebop film, that is close to 2 hours long.
If you watch it, think of it as taking place around episode 15 or something.
The whole crew is back together, doing what they Did best.

[@blkjmzbnd007]

its actually on RUclips for free

What makes Cowboy Bebop such a brilliant show, imo, is that the writers did a great job of making Spike feel invincible until he wasn't, and integrating that into the story. Throughout the entire show you don't really fear for his life because he's the protagonist, and he even explains that he doesn't fear for his own life because he's not even sure if he's even alive. But as we reach the finale Spike wants to go and he explains why. Normally we wouldn't worry that he's facing a platoon's worth of mobsters, but because he said he's ok with dying, now we know he can die. And even though he's ok with it, we the audience are not.

at the very end: "Life is just a dream ya know - it's neverending. I'm...ascending." And then it says "You're Gonna Carry That Weight" as the sign off

[@drhall343]

You're gonna carry that weight. 😭

[@nathanielrotskull2349]

I love the "bang" callback to the immortal kid who in the end was happy that he was finally free to die.

[@noahrobin1941]

Couple of small bits of trivia for you: in this one, Spike tells the story of the cat to Jet and the story of his eye to Faye. In 1x20 (your reaction @11:55) a cat’s eye flashes as Spike hurls the dagger. Dunno how much it means, but it’s i assume it’s a thing of some sort.
But my favorite bit of trivia, possibly from the whole series, is this: Steve Blum, the English voice actor for Spike, has a tattoo on his forearm of the audio waveform for Spike’s final line in this episode.

Round of applause for the wonderful music in this series. It made us much more well rounded people.

[@darkelf2x1]

Thank y'all so much for the time and effort put into doing a Cowboy Bebop reaction series!

[@jazzorion1]

Where’s the “You’re gonna carry that weight”!?!?!?

[@no1guy825]

i know....so many people don't savor the credits or expect anything from the end

[@charlieg2262]

End of an era! - Cowboy Bebop, One Punch Man season 1 and The Bear season 2

[@thequietrevolution3404]

Great reactions! Similar to mine when I first viewed the series back in 2000 (Adult Swim). Just FYI: "Cowboy Bebop, the Movie" (2001) takes place between episodes 22 and 23.

[@yakamen]

Well here we are guys! This episode buries a king in perpetuity.

[@mitchhamstrung1679]

Hope you guys are able to do the movie! Either way, it was great to revisit this show with you two, it's one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the reactions!!

[@brianyaniro4797]

11:44 Shruti was not having that Biggie joke 😂 on to Samurai Champloo now!

[@stefangonzo]

Still carrying that weight. Thanks again for giving this show its due. The End credits, with Blue playing in the background, are Spike's POV after he died.
"Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream, you know
That's never-ending
I'm ascending"

[@supersomeone9032]

Bang 😔
Edit: please tell me y’all are gonna watch the movie! I think it takes place before or right after the brain scratch episode I can’t remember

[@ken4th464]

missed a big bit at the end. it happens :(

You gonna carry that weight with us now, right? :)
Fantastic reaction, as always!

[@BiGChocolate008]

[@bobsavage3317]

[@Ben-hg3bz]

[@ajinkyabaram8621]
