Editorial Reviews

Faye Valentine makes a busty entrance as a woman in high debt. The key out of her debt is getting a microchip disguised as a Vegas poker chip. Low and behold, Spike and Jet go to the casino where Faye is. Why? Jet had a dream with Charlie Chaplin that advised him to go there. Spikes makes his encounter with Faye and the awesome scenes ensue.

This review is from: Cowboy Bebop - Honky Tonk Women (Vol. 2) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The second tape in Cowboy Bebop's series is a little more focused than the first, which is both a good and bad thing I suppose. In "Honky Tonk Woman," we're introduced to faye, the oh so sexy Lady Luck, who gives Spike, Jet, and pretty much everyone else in the episode a total headache. A case of mistaken identity draws Spike into Faye's desperate attempt to get out of gambling debt? All she has to do is get one chip, she's told, and he rdebts disappear. As usual in "Bebop," however. . .nothing's that easy. The second episode, "Gateway Shuffle," is a crackerjack action piece. A group called the Space Warriors has a plan to make perhaps the ultimate environmental statement . . .curing the bug in the system known as man. Faye, Spike and Jet are once again drawn together to thwart it. . .for money, of course. The show is by the numbers, but the quality is stand-out--the final fight in space (I won't spoil *why*) is fantastically paced an animated, and indicative of the quality that permetates every part of this show. And if the teaser for "Ballad of Fallen Angels" doesn;t make you want to run out and buy Tape #3, then you're just not paying attention.

This review is from: Cowboy Bebop Vol.2 Honky Tonk Women [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Man, what a series. In this tape the crew of spaceship 'Bebop' try to increase their purse not by catching criminals, but by following a dream Jet has and going to a casino in space to try and gamble their way out of bankrupcy. It progresses into a space gun fight showdown over some serendipitous events as Spike and Jet's 'winnings' grow. The casino design is intense, the action explosive and the new character Faye is wonderful. Faye Valentine is the anime cheesecake with a believable personality; greedy, sweet, awkward at times, and intense at all times. The second episode is even more expansive as the boys start in an ultra upspace restaurant ordering the priciest meals while waiting for the perfect chance to nab their bounty who is eating nearby, then unfolds into a plot to spread a disease on Ganymede which would destroy the entire population, and this description isn't the half of it! Brilliant turns and resolve. DON'T MISS THIS ONE! Great for any action film or anime fan. Great music by Yoko Kanno, as always.

Well what can i say, you are drawn in by the first video and the second one goes right ahead and blows you away even more, if you liked the first one (which i know you did) you will love this one, great characters, great soundtrack and great storys, so what are you waiting for? but it!!
