But after watching "CB", there is only one word in my mind: "well-deserved reputation". Famous people like Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno can't disappoint. The character design, story, music, and storyboards of "CB", almost any aspect of an anime that can be judged, makes people feel impeccable. And those bits and pieces of the 26-episode details may be overlooked the first time. After the content is not finished, I look again, only to find the inconspicuous title, the dubbing in the background, a small corner on the screen, almost Everything can be amazing, like shells hidden under the sand on the beach.
Everyone in the story has a distinct personality. Spike is handsome, lazy, and deeply affectionate; Jet, the owner of the BEBOP spacecraft, is strong and rugged, but unexpectedly has the best taste on the ship. She is good at cooking, good at bonsai, and is a representative of a good man at home; Faye is a beautiful, sexy and invincible beauty, but she has huge debts and is addicted to money. By the way, there is also a data dog Ein with a high IQ.
My favorite, though, is Ed, a little computer genius.
I love her shaggy red hair that dances like a little bunch of burning sparks. I love her glasses, through which she can swim in the endless sea of information, like an octopus, a flounder, or a whale. I like her skin tone, the healthy wheat color, only a little girl who grows in the sun can have such a natural color like a plant. I like the two blushes on her face, the long eyelashes raised at the corners of her eyes, her soft and agile limbs, and her sweet, glutinous voice. Now, you know what? I love you, Ed, everything about you.
When Ed first came out, I thought it was a boy, it was so cute. She was paralyzed on the ground like a dried starfish, listening to the radio nonchalantly: "The thirty-eighth district, on a sunny day, a small meteorite has fallen. Today's meteor shower has a falling rate of 20%..." I subconsciously thought it was a Young man, he didn't expect that this kind of tenacity would also be found in girls. She would use her little toes to control machinery, type, jump around like a kitten in the setting sun, and sometimes stand upside down as a dragonfly. Talk like singing, walk like dancing. I think she's a young child who never seems to understand "proper" interpersonal relationships. Her story is a nursery rhyme with a simple, joyful melody.
Tenacious little girl. Even with Faye strapped to the aircraft and soaring in the sky, Ed's face was not afraid at all. The lobster in BEBOP that I don't know how long it has been in the refrigerator has become moldy and spoiled. No, it has mutated into a new species in the universe. Ed can also eat it with relish in his sleep. Sometimes I suddenly think, is it because she is used to wandering alone, so she has such a physique that is invulnerable to the five poisons? Yes, she did not have the care and care of her parents. After being forgotten in the nursery, she lived alone. Such a small child, floating in such a vast universe, can only grow like a weed. Ed, what were you like before? Where were you last time you parked? Are the people there nice to you?
do you know? Your smile is brighter than the sun. When Ed hacked into BEBOP's host, what appeared on the screen was a little soy bean rolling around. He pouted his mouth to look around at the data, and then showed a big smile to the puppy on the other side of the screen. my entire vision. Just like you, when you smile, your eyes become a pair of crescent moons. Even the data used to crack the password is a string of small soybeans. When he met his father, on the aircraft, Ed showed the biggest and brightest smile, a smile that could make everyone willing to disarm and surrender. Of course, there is also the parting smile, painted on the body of BEBOP, with two big words "bye bye"
Ed, in the twenty-fourth episode "Hard Rock Woman", a person with a genetic dog Ein Gone, in the fiery sunset, in the silent and vibrant ruins, just like when Ed arrived, she danced her own dance like a elf and flew away. I don't know why she left, maybe it was for her father, maybe it was "the best thing" in her life, maybe it was just her usual way of life, leaving BEBOP was like leaving Singapore, leaving nursery, it was her life Trajectory, like she was on BEBOP on Earth. like a sad fairy tale. The music of "call me call me" blared, soothing and bleak,
"………………
Ten thousand years
I've searched this sheams and now
Gotta get to you
Won't you tell me how
Call me, call me
Let me know you are there
Call me, call me
I wanna know you still care
Come on now won't you
…”
There were only two men left in the empty BEBOP, facing the four peeled boiled eggs. As if to suppress something, they didn't say a word, only burying their heads and eating wildly. This is the most tearful scene in "CB". In the concluding remarks, a low male voice said: All stories have a beginning and an end, and life is such a cycle. Although it is an unsatisfactory ending, experiencing something that cannot be avoided is also a part of growing up. What dogmatic advice this is, and I'd rather not know.
Now, Ed, after you left, how are you? Where have you been since you left? Searching for dad on Earth, or wandering around outside the solar system? Did you take care of Ein? Have you met someone as interesting as spike, jet, and faye? I don't know how you have grown up now.
Can I see you again? Ed, see you, cowgirl, someday, somewhere.
