Cowboy Bebop - The Fate of Spike Spiegel (SPOILERS!)

I think we ever saw any more of Cowboy Bebop, it'd be different character in the same amazing universe. We only see a fragment of that vast world. There is always the possibility of showing some more of what happens in that world. Wouldn't ruin what's been done in the CB world either.
 
I never really followed the series, but I remeraber seeing the last episode on Cartoon Network once. It confused me later when I found out that was the "death scene" I'd heard so much about, because I just thought he was tired and collapsed.
 
According to Wikipedia, there's an "official" mini-series based on some minor characters. I can't for the life of me find the actual episodes of it though, even with the link they provided.
 
Hmm this is very interresting topic, and here is what think:

Yes that should do another series about Spike and the crew of the bebop
because I have always a couple of questions about Bebop. Like How did Jet Build the "Bebop"? or How did spike and Jet meet up and what does the crew do after Spike's death.?

But to much time has passed I don't know it is possible to get the people that made CBB a classic. what do you think?
 
I think doing a specific origin story for the series would hurt it. A big part of the show's appeal is that it isn't wrapped up all neatly and in general lacks a single narrative (minus the Spike vs Vicious angle and possibly Faye's story). To go and spoonfeed the audience answers would I think rob the show of the feel it has. It's a show about 3 messed up adults and a crazy kid who muddle through life and their personal issues. If you add in a much clearer, stricter narrative, you rob the show of it's mission statement of being different from all the other anime shows out there.
 
Three messed up adults, a crazy kid, and a dog.


.... what? It's important

My feelings about a prequel are the same ones I have about a sequel, but I should mentione that I've always sort of enjoyed the "Misadventures of the Bebop" episodes more than the "Spike-Vicious-Julia" ones. The two actually felt almost like different shows...
 
Ah man, why you have to be so cruel. Sure spikes alive, sure.




Remeber, spike and Julia were gansters. They were dreaming of a peaceful normal life away from the violence they've known all their lives.
 
@ BigDeath: For some reason, I was interpreting the "dream" as being literal I understand it a lot more now.

@ Karl Olson: Oh. That's a lot less exciting, then.
 
That's what I remeraber reading about it. IIRC the info I read was on a fansite and it also mentioned that the episode Heavy Metal Woman was the spinoRAB setting. That episode was supposedly intended as a backdoor pilot, of sorts, but it didn't go anywhere.
