I love this show, the music is a big part of it. After I turned on the op with headphones on that day, I instantly fell into that jazzy style. The entire more than 20 episodes were brushed down, and I was almost unwilling to dance the oped. There are also many very good soundtracks interspersed in the story.
Most of the content of this show is presented in the form of unit dramas, and the presence of the main line is relatively weak. I think the unit drama is better than the main line, because the plot of the main line is still a little routine: Spike left the gang a few years ago and has been thinking about a woman in the organization, Julia; duel.
There are two women close to Spike here, one is Julia and the other is Faye. At the end of the story, it can be seen that Faye has quite deep feelings for Spike. The description of her dissuading Spike from going to a duel is very delicate (it can be regarded as one of the famous scenes): after recovering her memory, she decides to use this spaceship as her destination, and Spike is a part of this destination; When she left resolutely, she raised her gun, but fired several shots at the ceiling, and the half-annoyed and half-pity mood was fully reflected. On weekdays Faye and Spike can be regarded as enemies, but this relationship is quite touching when it comes to life and death. On the other hand, Spike and Julia, the hard-working couple, are relatively weakly described, which makes Julia's death lack sufficient impact.
The battle on Spike's way to the duel in the back is also a bit buggy, as if the characters suddenly died easily. The parts of the duel between the two are very romantic (such as the two handing the weapons back to each other, such as Spike banging before falling), which may be controversial, but I still like it. This duel may have some routines, but it is also a relatively satisfactory conclusion for Spike's life. It's time to wake up from the dreams woven from the thrilling and funny space adventures of the past. Even if the duel didn't bring any practical benefit, it was a break he had to make from his old self. Maybe from now on, Spike's eyes will be able to have one eye to the future and one eye to the present.
There are quite a lot of interesting little stories in the part of the unit drama. Some of them revolve around the protagonists' past: Faye finds past memories, for example, Jet finds an old lover. Others focus on depictions of the bounty they seek.
Let’s just talk about the two episodes that impressed me the most.
After the original killer was transformed into a human body, there was a mental regression phenomenon, and he behaved like a child and became extremely cruel. One of the problems reflected here is that extreme cruelty is also seen in children, but when frustrated, they are quick to show weakness.
Paralyzed teenagers backed up their EEG data through the Internet, thereby spreading a new religion, advocating to get rid of the physical bondage and obtain soul freedom through the storage of EEG data. This is related to the question of the nature of the soul, the relationship between the soul and the body. Are teenagers just enjoying the process of cheating? Or did he experience the essence of the soul from the paralysis?
There are many more issues worth considering, so I won't list them one by one. In short, it is a work that is not only beautiful, but also suitable for multiple brushing.
Some of the current purely commercial works may not catch up with the level of one episode of this work in one season (laughs).
