    I dare you to find any anime with a sequence where a character falls through a broken stained-glass window in slow motion while having flashbacks to their life with the woman who betrayed them and then something just explodes.

    That's...fairly specific.

    yeah, well

    I'm fairly demanding

    The gauntlet is thrown. I will create an anime series with this duplicate scene, and you will feel the mighty slap of my spite.

    Larlar your spiteful slap to me is as a lover's caress

    god i love this show.

    the scene where spike is thrown through the stained glass window, the ending fight/resolution, when that chick dies. I nearly cried each time.

    when faye just kinda draws her bedroom outline amongst the rubble and lays down in it?

    Man, i need to find a copy right the fuck now.

    So champloo was also worth watching?

    I dunno.

    The scene where she finds the rubble of that old house was solmen and well done, but it just didn't do it for me. For me, the best part was after Spike and Jet go to all that trouble to find a tape player that'll run the cassette, it turns out to be a video diary Faye had no memory of making.

    My scene of choice? Ed's Goodbye scene. The music they chose for that scene was perfect, and the part where you see the giant "BYE BYE :D" painted onto the deck always gets to me.

    This show is seriously my favourite...probably ever. A good friend of mine told me about it, and at the end of the first episode when that chick said
    "Adios" and then got the fuck shot out of her space ship
    -I was hooked. It's god damn beautiful. Tears were shed many times.

    I'm yet to see the movie, but I've been skeptical. I've heard bad things, and I don't want to taint my memories of this show.

    Also, Janson, where can I find her orchestral stuff.

    I am a whore for sweeping orchestral stuff.

    Here's a discography that has a lot of samples of her stuff.

    http://jameswong.com/ykproject/disc/music.php

    For some good examples of her orchestral stuff I'd choose:

    "Vesper Bell" from Turn-A Gundam Soundtrack 3, track 10.

    "Piece By Ten" from Ghost in the Shell Soundtrack 4: Be Human, track 14

    "Leaving on Red Hill" from Wolf's Rain Soundtrack 1, track 6

    "Shizukana Seikutsu" from Earth Girl Arjuna Soundtrack II, track 6 (one of my favorites)

    "Supreme Ruler Suite" from Nobunaga's Ambition: Chronicles of Heaven Soundtrack, track 6 (the Nobunaga's Ambition soundtracks are at the bottom in the "games" section)

    and of course

    "Fly Up in the Air" from Macross Plus Soundtrack 3: For Fans Only, track 2

    These are mostly personal favorites, have fun.

    Do you like one break-dancing samurai and his friend go to save their crazay female friend who gets kidnapped or tries to find this one guy like EVERY episode.
    Sorry, but your friend is in another part of Japan.
    Also she gets sold into prostitution but it never gets that far because they find the barrel, or the whore-house.

    Yeah, it'll do that.

    Something no one ever brings up about that scene, is how Jet and Spike seem totally unphased by Ed's departure. They just shrug it off, and eat what food they'd left for her and Faye.

    I'm really not sure what to make of that part. Or the fact that they were eating the food that Ed's Dad gave them.

    I don't know what the hell people don't like about the movie

    It's basically an hour and a half long episode with high quality animation

    There is nothing wrong with it

    Well, aside from the fact that Jet doesn't get to see much action

    Dude gets no respect, I swear

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, and from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip-malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moments lost in time; gone like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die.

    The movie is different. I couldn't work it out at first and I was a bit put off. The story comes and goes and appears to have no impact on the course of the show, but now I love it. The slightly different style works for me, even the music too which has some stonking tracks like "8 Minutes" and "Knocking On the Heaven's Door." What I really liked about the movie was how it encapsulated the whole show and the show's themes but had nothing to do with the character arcs.

    Vincent was the violent side of Spike, and in my opinion a million times better a baddy than Vicious.

    Overall I just like the movie because it was the right way to send the show off. The last episode is the chronological ending but the movie is the proper send off. When you look at the last couple of episodes they concentrate so much on the Spike/Julia/Vincent/Syndicate stuff that you miss out on what the show was really about, a bunch of weirdos in space hunting down bounties each week. The movie fixed this by being an encore for the fans to enjoy one more bounty hunt which was what the show was all about.

    Sorry I thought I was in D+D for a minute.

    So guys a few quibbling details:

    What exactly was the relationship between Spike, Vicious and Julia? From what I could piece together from the show and the pictures in the ending credits it seems:
    -Julia and Vicious are a couple before Spike joins the Syndicate.
    -Spike sees Julia for the first time in a pool hall, that's it, game over.
    -Spike and Vicious are involved in a shootout, Spike nearly dies and is nursed to health by Julia, Vicious gets drafted?
    -Vicious is drafted? Or forced to join the war on Titan. Or is he really a spy, who then frames Gren?
    -Spike and Julia fall in love during his absence, and Vicious receives a Dear John letter.
    -Vicious comes back from the war, Spike wants to leave the syndicate, Julia tells Vicious. Vicious gives Julia an ultimatum.
    -Spike gives Julia a note to meet him at the cemetery (thus the flowers he holds and cigarettes he smokes while waiting for her in the opening scene).
    -Spike fakes his own death by blowing himself up. Julia chooses neither and runs away.

    Also, does Spike have his surgery before or after he joins the Syndicate?

    Well?

    That seems spotty but I'd infer he has the surgery after for two reasons:
    1.) Blood runs down from his eye socket in the opening scene.
    2.) He mentions "seeing the past in one eye and the future in the other" in the last episode. Since all Spike ever seems to be on about is his relationship with Julia I'd assume that's when he lost his eye.

    I imagine he lost his eye during that fight where he faked his death, then got the cybernetic replacement sometime later.
