  • "Bang..."

  • I love this so much! Great job putting it together. I love how it ends, that really said a lot.

  • Bang.

  • Really excellent video, and we can totally identify with your feelings about Bebop and Spike. And Yoko Kanno's music is just so excellent. Thanks for the upload. This is definitely one of our fave animes. :)) ND

  • and move among the stars

  • bang.

    

  • Sly sent me hurr

  • @MLGProRush Who is sly?

  • Faye: Why do you have to go? Where are you going? What are going to do, just throw your life away like it was nothing?

    Spike: I'm not going there to die. I'm going to find out if I'm really alive. I have to do it, Faye.

  • Beautiful :')

  • Bang.

  • @Soulofsamantha

    Thanks a lot for the compliment. You are too kind.

  • i lessoned to this song when i was going to suicide but i didnt want to say goodbye because they telled they loved me and now im still alive while the girl who i loved loves me

  • Its rare for me to find someone who really appreciates Bebop as much as I do. Thank you for this FadingLight, and all who helped you too.

  • best manga best soundtrack ever ! See you space cowboy

    

  • Cowboy Bebop . Y U no have sequels ?

    Seriously ,this anime is almost perfect.

    Wonderfull OST ,awesome animation and design ,a great story with excellent characters.

    Every anime should look a little bit more like this!

  • I love the American voice cast.

  • @ALEXisSPANISH I know it was like one of the only voice overs that wasn't ruined when it comes to anime.

  • Where's your Messiah? Hoot ... hehe

  • "You're gonna carry that weight."

  • I made an account just to write to you. This is the best AMV I've ever seen. You spliced the song and video flawlessly. I love Cowboy Bebop, but any "official" video would be hard-pressed to succeed this piece.

    I've enjoyed it for four years. Knowing that you put it together, I thought you'd like to know how much we appreciate your work and respect your talent.

    Thank you, for creating this for us. We are all grateful.

  • juila is this a dream / spike yeah just I bad dream

  • I love spikes run

  • I mean spike

  • why spike why!!!! did you have to go so soon rip spoken

  • I just want to thank everyone who has helped this video reach over 200000 views. That has been a benchmark for me and I'm glad you all think so positively of it. You are all the best.

  • @FadingLight I did 1/4 of it...

  • "Bang"

    

  • Make a continuation watanabe. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY will be pissed at you....we already are pissed at you for murdering spike. Bring him back and continue the fucking series.

  • @microsoftnerd4life No, the end of this anime was what made it perfect, simple as that. It lasted as long as it had to and now its simply one of the best things ive seen on a screen.

  • @microsoftnerd4life You can't bring Spike back. The series wouldn't hold the same appeal, it's almost safe to say that the ending MADE the series as iconic as it is today. What you could do is make another movie that was set before the final sessions, like Knocking on Heaven's Door.

  • and of course the cowboy bebop is the best ever !

  • This song is so fckin touchin' me...perfect

  • Ugh.

    Steve Blum's bang was way better than the seiyuu's...

  • Anyone else get chills?

  • fuck fuck fuck this is just so EPIC, love it!

  • @thisiswolfmoon ober tanks to the correction.... oh well. but yes there is. its behind the scenes kinda thing. like about the anime characters, faye, mugen- WAT THE! i ment spike xD jet ed ein...... then the ppl who voice then like how do they like the characters, do they like the anime in general... and stuff like how the anime was created, and questions for the cast artist dirrectors and authers. oh and its in japanese so u have to see it in subtitles and u can watch it on the 5 disk in extras

  • Spike: Juila is dead... Let's finish it now..

    Vicious: As you wish...

  • @shrederpunk thanks for the correction! hey have you seen episode 0 from cowboy bebop

  • @sesshomarufangirl101 Sorry to butt in, but... there's an episode 0??!!!

    You replied to the wrong person, btw.

  • @shrederpunk dude did u know cowboy bebop and samurai champloo were made by the same anime director or however the writer is called? I luv the anime too and I have to say the music is quite awesome

  • @sesshomarufangirl101 Director. They had different writers.

  • This and samurai champloo are my favorite anime ever

  • como se llama este anime???

  • @krizthanFH Cowboy Bebop

  • 991 people are carrying that weight.

  • Thumbs up if spikes still alive

  • Spikes hair is awesome!

  • Comment removed

  • I play this song for my step-dad who I miss every day. He taught me that life while short has it's precious moments and people who will stay with you always. Miss and love you dad.

  • When he told Jet the story of the cat with a million lives and when he loses his loved one and finally dies for real, I knew for certain Spike wasn't coming back from his mission alive. It was the way he talked as if he was freeing himself,and how the story of the cat with a million lives applied so accurately and foreshadowing of his own life. I'll never forget that scene, And I will never forget Spike. -- See You Space Cowboy

  • @Zipito06 The tragedy of life is that struggle to free ourselves, beyond the forces that restrain us. And on a similar note it is only once we release ourselves to this crazy place we call earth, that we can understand the beauty of it.

  • hen Im down, this video, this song... makes everything alright.

    Thanks :D

  • this is one of the best songs of anime I've ever heard

  • I've seen a ton of AVI's, but this is the one I like the best. I don't know why, but I love it.

  • 15 people get no bell peppers and beef.

  • I feel cheated...I never actually saw the ending of Cowboy Bebop...now I know what happened...dammit...

  • @Killbore1: You shouldn't watch AMVs of shows you haven't completed yet.

  • Spike was/is one of the greatest anime characters of all time. He hardly ever loses his cool and always has the right answer to every problem or question. The fact that someone like him died in the end makes Cowboy Bebop the pillar of all anime.

  • 15 people couldn't carry that weight.

  • T_T

  • Bang...

  • @sessakag

    to anser your Q. it's b/c this song is not wildly known. some the great are skiped by the masses. isn't it sad :(

  • How come this video doesnt have a million views yet? Its like...perfect! 

  • outstanding!!

    No matter what people say.. this anime is ..... singular... perfect... complete

  • it isn't easy carrying that weight.

  • 15 people shed crimson tears. Vicious was just near by when they hit the dislike button.

  • @Blitzwing39 .....Fuck vicious.

  • how the hell can anyone dislike this song!!! its epic!!! and so is the anime!!

  • @GraveChapel

    you and me both.

  • I just wish the soundtracks didn't cost $50

  • @GraveChapel Try Import Action. I've read a LOT of terrible reviews of them, but many of my anime soundtracks have been from them, and for comparatively cheap at that.

  • I like the last seen in this video. spike is walking down the stairs and all those thugs just look at him, and he points his hand like a gun and said " bang" classec

  • No point in the show was Spike actually "alive"...

  • The ending to this series has the potential to bring a tear to my eye every time I watch it. Not to mention this song fits Spike's thought almost perfectly as he fades away. I applaud the men behind this wonderful series.

  • Ever since the first time I watched this series all the way though saw back in my Middle school days on AS I haven't been able to listen to the whole song because I knew it meant the show was over.

  • 1:33 - 1:53 has the most perfect blend of the melody in the background.

  • Great fucking ending and show.

  • I remember reading an interview with the creator years back. He say's that the film takes place between episodes 23 and 24.

  • Baa..

  • very nice video.Congrats.

    Best anime ever...by far

  • @bananaempijama Lol, no. Top tier anime, yes.

  • Is it stupid of me to get the Blue song by Eiffel in my head every time I glance at the title of this, and does it only happen to me?

  • I love you Spike !!!!!!

  • The ambiguous ending leaves it to the viewers to decide the fate of Spike, if you felt a man driven by revenge against one man had a fitting death after achieving his revenge, then that's what happened. If you believe he survived the wounds, he would still be a man with a ruined past and no future without Julia. He would essentially be back where everyone first met Spike, floating along in space on the bebop. Either way, his story reached its summation with the death of vicious.

  • @FadingLight I kmow this is done by Yoko Kanno, but I think it's technically her band The Seatbelts that's responsible for this. No big deal since she's in it either way, but I think that's how it's labelled for who did it.

  • @JuliusRage You think that's bad, imagine seeing this, both twists in Final Fantasy X, and the end of Shadow of the Colossus in the same week. I swear it was my time of the month it was so bad. (BTW, dude alert here too)

  • For all the people wanting to know if spike dies or not, the only way to look at it is from the dialogue in the show. Spike himself says to vicious, they are connected, only vicious can kill spike, only spike can kill vicious, if one is alive so is the other, if one is dead so is the other. Spike watched julia be killed before his eyes, and also said he was tired of living. While not technically said he dies, it is implied because he kills vicious.

  • The best anime in existence, and one of the greatest stories ever developed. It's one of the greatest and most inspirational works of art I've ever seen.

  • Spike can't die :C!

  • Beauty condensed into music...

  • i want this song at my funeral for real.... cause then ill know ill be free....

  • I remember being 12 years old and seeing the end of Cowboy bebop, I had just finished the first disc of final fantasy 7 a few days before and dropped a few tears for that and after I saw last ep of Bebop. . .the only people who knew I cried before this post were me, Jesus and his daddy.

    Now you know.

    And if you tell anyone you'll get to meet those two guys sooner than you'd like.

  • @JuliusRage nothing wrong with crying, mate.

  • I love this AMV T.T Almost makes me cry though that final episode definitely made me cry. Sucks that he died at the end. Big disappointment, just like Kira dying at the end in Death Note. >.>

  • Meh, if anyone actually LIKED spike dying, then I believe they need to go suck a chode. Spike was awesome, he was the main character, why would they like him dying? There's so many things he CAN do now that Vicious is dead. :\

  • @Ladiessurfer217 While Spike's death made me sad in my opinion it was the perfect end to the series. The whole series Spike said he had "one eye in the past and one in the future." The series finale wraps up all the unfinished business from his past and kills those who truly defined him. Spike did everything that he needed to do.

  • @MistaTwigz You're missing one of my main points. THE CREATER SAID HE NEVER SAYS SPIKE DIES. You don't know he's dead. He could be living out like the indian guy and the little one with him, looking at stars. You DON'T know he's dead. No one except the creator knows for sure and he didn't want to share that fact. All he said was "I never said Spike died."

  • @MistaTwigz No need to cry. Cause he's NOT dead!

  • @Ladiessurfer217 And did we forget his best friend Jet is alive? Jet knew where he was going! True his leg was shot, but he's the Black Dog! No reason to beieve he coud NOT have hobbled over to the Hammer head and quietly followed Spike and was there at the end to pick him up and take him to the hospital. So Spike is NOT dead!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Spike doesn't die. People speculate he does, but the creator said he never said Spike dies. So... I'm hoping someone smarter than I, I being only a 17 year old kid, will talk to the dude to start crapping out awesome new episodes of this... I'd think Spike would disband the Red Dragons, find Ein and Edward on his way back and meet back with Jet and Faye? I dunno...

  • @Ladiessurfer217 if they did make more eps. it would probbaly take place inbetween eps, that all ready came out(like the movie), if they continued it and say spike didnt die, it would probably piss of alot of people that liked it ending that way, but if they do ever continue it they would do something like spike would meet back up with jet and faye,(maybe go deeper to fayes past) with that. then for the ed and ein fans they might make a few eps. of them doing things on earth, only a guess.

  • See you space cowboy. . .

  • Mai Yamane and The Seatbelts

  • who sings the song

  • I like this song and this anime long life COWBOY BEBOP

  • great video....very good music...this anime is fabulous! never get tired of wathing

  • Demonios, que canción tan más "chida"

  • watching the last 30 sec of the last episode gave me goosebumps..

    best anime ever from episode one to episode 26...

    see you space cowboy...

  • Yes megamanred is right, A fucking beautiful song to the last of Cowboy Bebop!

  • i still get shivers hearing this

  • when i die i want this song to play at my funeral

  • when i die i want this song to play at my funeral

  • i like dis song alot

  • where 2 find this song

  • I love your video and can't stop watching it right now, and it has helped me through so many things. It is definitely a treasure. I think you should do more vids in the future probably. I like it on so many levles it's hard to define it in words even right now, and I don't care. I also have always agreed with your thoughts on cowboy bebop in general and spike in specific on every level, I think spike is the soul of all heroes. Just thought I'd let ya know that.

  • Bang

  • Spike's end is a mystery. Perhaps he's dead or perhaps this is all over and he got to live on, but death is probably the best for him. In death he can finally find peace and possibly be with his love Julia, one way or another.

  • Youtube needs to give away their dislike button to facebook so I can thumbs down all the shit like farmville.

  • You guys that want Spike to live, don't. He's happy when he dies because he gets to see Julia again, they are both awake from the bad dream.

  • You're gonna carry that weight.

  • I just started yelling at my iPhone When she died was terrible made me sad

  • This is my own opinion so take it as you will.... I think Spike lives, not as he was in the series completely but I think he lived past the ending of the series as a person who lived, not for the past but for the future. He faced his demons and won. Epic series, epic music!

  • we just gotta wake up from our dream 

  • The Creators have said they never said if Spike lived or died its up to the person...

  • This anime gives out such a strong message about finding who you really are, to find your true self. Thumbs up if you agree.....

  • Sempre me arrepio com esse vídeo!

  • From Argentina, Thanks!!

  • I knew this song, but while watching this vid, and the scene where shes dying around2:30... i just started crying. This song and vid is... awesome.

  • @MistedMind Me too TT_TT

    so sad and awesome at the same time

  • Why cant Spike and Julia be together at the end? that sucks

  • I've been trying to figure out what they say in the beginning because it's in Latin, not English haha. One would think they are saying "Where's your Messiah? woot"

  • This might be my 20th time watching it. Video just that good.

  • @megamanredv3 Thank you, kindly.

  • i finished the series about a week ago the ending is a bit sad and reassuring too

    i cried at the end

  • i finished the series about a week ago

  • yes,spike died.

    pero lo que quiere decir el final es que pudo al final encontrar un descanzo,despertar del sueño.

    waaaa I love this series is my favoutyte,sorry for ritt in spanis but i don`t knows inglesh

    saludos desde otra costa amantes de cowboy bebop!!!!

  • Cowboy Bebop one of the best shows of my life and many others, there are great details in every aspect. Visuals, music and voices of each of characters. and the best thing that this series has is that it gives every character their own flaws, and with depth. just something you can't get with shows now days. and sum the story in the way that they have done and its just amazing. Bebop stays with you.

  • Bang.

  • Manly tears were shed this day.

  • Cowboy Bebop speaks by itself, and you made an amazing job while compiling these scenes!

  • Dang! Half of this Anime budget must have been music :P

  • @antyplastyka i hope that wasnt a joke at bebop's expense >.> cause music is part of the reason bebop is so good @_@

  • probably the best part of the last episode or maybe even the whole series when they both drop thier weapons and the other guy gets it they both know that cant win with each others weps so slide/throw them to each other. That right thier shows real honor real integrity stuff you might see in the real world once in a lifetime. one of the best anime ever made even if it waz on adult swim orginally

  • As if it wasnt enough that spike died they had to play this song and start the water works!

  • wait, so does spike die at the end? i know he falls, but isn't there a movie that was made AFTER the series? and spike was in it, so is spike alive?

  • @TasteForDisaster Most people speculate that the movie takes place somewhere toward the end of the series, but not after the final episode. It is pretty much widely accepted that Spike dies. Hope that answers your question.

  • @FadingLight The movie takes place somewhere in the middle of the series. You can say that because Edo and Fay are still in the team...

    Spike died....

  • @FadingLight Yeah thats a pretty good answer by my standards. The movie was definitely before the end of the series and although no one but the creator could lay to rest whether or not Spike dies im pretty sure it was meant to be taken that way. I noticed in the description you said this is the only amv you like. Have you ever seen Samurai Champloo or Eureka 7? Both are great, mature, and well written. Champloo is from the creators of Bebop.

  • @Spikesoldat I have not had a chance to check those out. Hopefully I will find some time, but unfortunately between certain personal events in my life and particular national events that are dominating my attention, I am not sure I will have a chance anytime soon. that said, I will see about adding those to my netflix to try out in as near future as I can. Thank you for the suggestions.

  • @FadingLight The guy that made Cowboy BeBop left it up to the viewers. So as you said him being dead is the most popular view but he could be alvie. Just depends on how you want

  • @FadingLight Not to me!!! I will NEVER accept it, NO he doesn't. Jet is here, Jet is still alive, Jet is his best friend. Jet picked him up and took him to the Bebop to heal him. So not dead.

  • @TasteForDisaster The movie was made to between episode 22 and 24 my good friend

  • @TasteForDisaster It's actually very cleverly open for interpretation. The movie seems to have been made to be taken in one of two ways. It can either be taken as a straight forward bebop adventure set around episode twenty two or twenty three, or it can be taken as a dream spike is having while recovering from his fight with vicious, which explains the conversation spike has with jet after falling off of the tram car during his fight with vincent.

  • @zakadams1 He could have had that talk anytime in any episode. His life was always like that. He made mention of that in the last couple of episodes and episode 5. I'm almost certain he died. He fulfilled some greater sense of his self. He freed himself, that he could 'wake up.' The profound thing is that there is nothing to wake up to. The dream is real up until we experience a deep sense of freedom by acknowledging futility and meaninglessness and decide to create our own identities

  • @TasteForDisaster I was reading up about whether or not Spike actually dies and I came across a piece of an interview with the creator of Cowboy Bebop. He said that even he didn't know if Spike died or not and that he left it to the interpretation of the viewers. There are signs supporting both arguments in the final episode so who know? Haha but yeah it is widely accepted that Spike dies :(

  • @TasteForDisaster The movie actually takes place between eps. 23-24...spike dies. But its ok, cuz he was ready, its alittle bitter sweet.

  • @Hyde0089 22 and 23.

  • @TasteForDisaster The movie takes place between episodes 22 and 23.

  • @TasteForDisaster He dies. Even though it's no actually said that he does it's pretty obvious. Spike had nothing left after taking out Vicious. He got roughed up pretty bad in the last fight and then they show a star fading away which earlier on in the series the native guy claims it's a warrior leaving this world.

  • @MasterBayTing "All living things, every being that walks & breathes, each has its own star. When a new life is born, a new star appears. That is the guardian star. The star that warms this planet is someone's guardian star as well. The red star you see overhead, the blue star on the horizon. And when a life ends, the star falls and disappears. His star is about to fall, I have dreamed it."

    That old man has some powerful stuff. Had to cut stuff due to # of allowed characters.

  • @TasteForDisaster actually the movies takes place at the end of teh first seasson of the anime (jupiter jazz pt 2) after that episode the movie takes place

  • @TasteForDisaster NOI HE DOESN'T!!! Spike Spegal doesn;t die!! He's got a best friend who's still alive and who helped him in Ballad of Fallen Angels. If Jet can help him there, there is NO REASON why he cant fly in the Hammerhead, pick him up, and take hinm to the hospital.

    NOT DEAD!! Jet is here. NOT DEAD!

  • @TasteForDisaster IE: there are other reasons that the movie could not take place after the end of the series.

  • best anime ever - love to see it filmed

    life is just a dream you now :)

  • This song gets me every time!
