Oh Fred...

At least it's not the high-pitched internet "sensation" Fred....

 

[foxuzamaki]

Jim is cursed with being a shota

 

[Morlas]

lol poor catgirl

 

[Crocodile]

This show feels like a weird hybrid of a Western and an anime. Silly faces and jokes about eating shit side-by-side.

There's a reason this show is remembered well among the Western anime community. Nostalgia helps but I think it plays into Western sensibilities well

BTW this is your first time watching this show right?

 

[Hellwarden]

Lol, hell of an episode.

 

[Grexeno]

She's hysterical

 

[Line_HTX]

Stuck with washing dishes.

 

[ramoisdead]

Oh Aisha...you'll never pay your bill if you keep breaking dishes.

 

[Mik317]

this show is really good.

I will curse my younger self every day for skipping it.


night yall

 

[cntr]

wait, i just realized

she didn't join the ship this episode!

Yeah, I really like it.

And yup.

 

[Seda]

That was a really fun episode.

 

[ckohler]

Aisha is a delight. :3

 

[master billings]

A truly cruel fate. Nite y'all

 

[foxuzamaki]

This beautiful ending

Well back to xenoverse 2

 

[BBboy20]

Sweet jesus, the wacky animation. <3

 

[Xe4]

Good episode. That ED is really strange juxtaposed against such a comedic episode.
Time for Bebop.

 

[ramoisdead]

Aisha is a delight. :3

She is.

 

[Crocodile]

Thinking about Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop, was it just more of a trend that the whole crew took a lot longer be assembled in shows of the past? I fee like if this show was made in 2017, the whole cast would be together by the second episode (even if it felt forced to do so). We haven't even seen/heard of Suzuka yet and of course in Bebop, Ed doesn't show up until episode 9.

 

[Line_HTX]

Gimme gimme gimme the Honky Tonk blues~

 

[TheOGB]

I like this show. This is a good show.

Well I'm gonna call it a night. I'm seriosuly surprised I stayed awake the whole day off of 2 hours of sleep, but I really need to get some rest. Later ToonamiGAF

 

[cntr]

That episode was great.

...also uh, I didn't get a chance to watch the second episode of Bebop, so should I hold off on episode 3 and watch it later after 2?

I'm not the best person to answer this, but One Piece immediately popped to mind.

 

[Strike]

Time for Bebop.

 

[Morlas]

time to get everybody and the stuff together....3, 2, 1 let's jam

 

[Xe4]

No, it's fine. Bebop is episodic as fuck (mostly).
They got a corgi. That's all you need to know.

 

[YoodiHoshi]

I really wish they gave that black guy nen leecher more to do. I liked his design but he came and went.

In the manga he further demonstrates his intellect, showing that he's one of the smartest characters in the Hunter x Hunter-verse, but that's about it.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Done with Outlaws
Onward to Cowboys

 

[Seda]

That episode was great.

You'll be fine. You'll just be curious where the Corgi came from

 

[cntr]

Kay. I'll watch episode 2 later.

And I already knew they had a dog.

 

[BBboy20]

 

[Schadenfreude]

Time for Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Hellwarden]

This is the gambling episode right?

 

[Grexeno]

I'm not the best person to answer this, but One Piece immediately popped to mind.

One Piece is STILL GATHERING THE CREW

 

[Morlas]

oh is it time for miss valentine?

 

[ramoisdead]

I guess we're gonna say hello to Ms. Faye Valentine for the first time.

 

[Korigama]

No, it's fine. Bebop is episodic as fuck (mostly).
They got a corgi. That's all you need to know.

Basically this. They don't really get around to the main story until episode 5.

 

[Crocodile]

OP was planned to be a never ending shonen. I was more talking about self contained 13/26/52 episode shows that don't intend to go on forever. Comparisons to shows that last 800+ episodes seems unfair and pointless

 

[Seda]

ah yes

faye valentine

 

[Morlas]

woops time for a shootout

 

[BBboy20]

Wendee Lee.

The Babe.

The Legend.

 

[Man God]

Gifffff

 

[Zonic]

Huh

Faye sounds a bit....deeper than I remember.

 

[Hellwarden]

This shop lived a hard life.

I do remember that about a lot of older anime and even with jrpgs and such, where there would be a member that is actually a enemy for like half if not most of the series before joining the team

 

[Strike]

Hello Faye.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Poker Alice, everyone

 

[Morlas]

aaaaah this music!

 

[BBboy20]

Fuck you , mother fucker.

 

[cntr]

Taking a while to assemble the cast has been a long standing trope in Westerns, and to a lesser degree, pirate stories.

So it makes sense it'd be in series most influenced by that.

yo, that was a cool intro scene

One Piece was planned to be a 5 year series, so that's not quite right. But yes, a lot more flexible than something that has 26 episodes to work with.
