see. funny. i thought the idea of vincent as a dark mirror of spike was established beautifully. vincent is what spike would be without love (julia, & arguably, faye) & family (the bebop crew).
I dunno. I mean, Spike *said* they were alike, but I didn't *see* it very well, in behavior, attitude. I know that's a fine difference, but it's a distinct one in my mind. I can't really explain it, but it didn't work for me. Actually, I thought he had more in comoon with Electra than with Vincent. Though since Electra was in love with Vincent, that does have some connection.
-the butterflies. beautiful. -spike & jet's ramen soliloquy -the aforementioned chem-lab ass-kicking. (is there any spike who doesn't "love a woman who can kick [his] ass?" -the edward/ein hunt for lee. i LOVE edward & ein...it's like "a boy & his dog" on crack. -faye getting herself out of more than 1 serious pickle -the jailhouse confessional -the mono-rail & pseudeiffel tower ass-kicking scenes -that tharsis (i assume we were in tharsis) features major architectural landmarks that make it look like parisnewyorkmarrakechriodetroit all at once. did anyone else notice the trade center towers & the empire state building?
I loved all those moments. ALL! I also loved the vase. "Apparently it's perfect for me." ::snark::
The ramen moment reminded me wonderfully of that fan-dub movie "Fanboy Bebop." Have you ever seen it? I saw it at a convention-- it was hilarious. All about Spike & Jet ruminating about anime fan weirdness, with lots of soliloqies like that.
