Spook's Cowboy Bebop Blog

This showed up in my google news alerts just now. My hands are shaking too hard, so I’ll just provide the link to the report of the English/Japanese interview with Shinichiro Watanabe where he answers The Question, publicly and officially. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/05/26-1/video-rare-english-interview-with-cowboy-bebop-director-shinichiro-watanabe

EDIT: You have to watch the interview, The Question comes up about [...]

Thanks to Pureblood-3 for showing me this!

This particular blogger has other reasons to believe Spike survived Real Folk Blues that I hadn’t thought of. This person makes a very good case I think and I enjoyed the posting very much. Check out Cowboy Bebop vs. Ernest Hemingway; Harry dies, Spike Lives.

How ABOUT that crow?

Addng spoiler space to the top of this posting because it gets posted places where it may be seen by people who haven’t seen Cowboy Bebop (previously the postings weren’t).

I posted a while back that I wanted to check out Twin Peaks to see if I could see anything in there that might be an influence for Cowboy Bebop.

Looks like I’m really into seeing what could have influenced Cowboy Bebop – Shinichiro Watanabe did say he watched a lot of western movies, [...]

Anyway, I think like [...]

Chowing down on eggs

A question was asked on imdb.com’s “Kaubôi bibappu: Cowboy Bebop” (1998) message board asking about what the eggs might symbolise in the end of Hard Luck Woman. Ed’s father had a basket full of them, and even threw a couple at Spike and Jet. He later gave the [...]

Card of Doom?

In Ballad of Fallen Angels, the story begins with Spike shuffling a deck of cards. If you watch closely, you can see the bottom card is the Ace of Spades, and it remains there for as long as we are able to see the bottom card while he’s shuffling.

After [...]
