Hi there!After years of hearing how awesome Cowboy Bebop is, I just finished it--and I have no idea WTF is going on.With the exception of Faye, I didn't really see a character arc for any one of the main characters--and Faye's own arc ends on a strange note, without (to my mind) any real resolution. And Spike's mob history and/or his connection(s) to vicious didn't seem to be that big of a deal (until, suddenly, they were).And then Ed--poor Ed--I literally have no idea what her purpose for even being in the show was. She shows up, acts as a plot device for a few episodes, then disappears into the sunset. I feel like an especially talented monkey wrench could have served the same purpose...Don't get me wrong--I enjoyed the ride, and I loved the jazzy style of the show, but it's severely lacking in a lot of what I've come to consider necessary for a show to function, things like, y'know, a plot.So, am I missing something? Did I fall asleep during the wrong scene? Or does Cowboy Bebop just not make any sense?? http://ift.tt/1qTpvEO
