YEAH! This is the COOLEST tape yet!

Sure, most people love 'Ballad of Fallen Angel' best, but the whimsical and deft adventures and stylistic designs in 'Mushroom Samba' can't be beat in MY book. First off, the episode is a tribute to the Blaxploitation flicks of the American 1970's. Second, it's ED and EIN's solo episode! Wahoo! The Bebop is out of fuel...and the crew is out of food, money and hope. After a ship collides with Bebop they set down in the desert of a moon named on a real estate sign as 'Western World' where a strange Southwest American desert town resides. Ed and Ein are sent out to find food or help while Jet repairs the ship. The odd couple soon become entangled with a bounty named Domino Walker and his hallucinagenic mushroom crops, a black femme fatal in a tight leather outfit and a vengeful 'pimp'. HA! The final chase/battle sequnce on the train is balls out. Comedy, action, food, a scooter and the coolest collection of secondary characters make this a MUST HAVE EPISODE! And I never even mentioned the Bebop crew's mind trips after eating the mushrooms which Ed delivers to them under the assumption that they are edible. The second episode deals with Faye's past life on an Earth before the gate disaster...a past delivered to the Bebop on a BETA video tape. Unable to figure out the purpose of how a video tape works, Jet and Spike visit an Otaku who whordes old tape machines. Soon they are visiting earth to try and find old video tape machines below ground in a burned out shopping mall from 70 years earlier...but they never knew there was a VHS format! DOH! A funny and clever pair of episodes with a sweet ending on Faye's old home video movies. GREAT stuff! YOU must BUY this tape if you like Bebop.

Mushrooms and Beta Tapes

Cowboy Bebop's best perks are its mass hilarity and wild imagination. It shows up again in "Mushroom Samba." The crew of the Bebop run out of provisions, so Ed and Ein set out in search of food. Afterwards, the two run into a seedy mushroom dealer named Domino that has a big bounty on his head. Ed and Ein race against two other bounty hunters to get the money. This is one of my favorite eps. because Edward personality shines brightest and she gets an episode almost to herself. The humor starts when the crew eats Domino's mushrooms, which result in hallucinations out of the ordinary.

"Speak Like A Child" lets us look deeper into Faye's mysterious past. When the crew of the Bebop receives a beta tape, they have NO IDEA what it is. Remember, it's been awhile since these "antiques" have been used. Spike and Jet bring it to an antiques dealer obssessed with 20th century television shows to check it out. Faye watches the tape late one night and her curiousity is aroused by someone that looks almost like her.

Buy this VHS! I believe it contains two of the best episodes of Cowboy Bebop. Dedicated to Ed and Faye fans.

BEST_EPISODE_EVER!!!

"Mushroom Samba" is by far the funniest and most entertaining episode of Cowboy Bebop. The Bebop crew is out of food supplies, so the ship lands and Ed and Ein scavenge for food. Mass hilarity ensues as Edward and Ein bring back hallucinogenic mushrooms that the rest of the crew get trippy on in some of the funniest scenes ever to grace anime. The afros are exceptionally funny, and hey--it's Edward! This episode is *the* quintissential episode for Edward and Ein fans...a must-own!

Its Ed's turn to play cowgirl

When the Bebop crashes on a remote planet, Ed is stuck going out to find food with Ein. What develops is a funky episode complete with a Jamican, a Shaft brother and a Pam Greir look alike. Cool battles, trippy mushroom scenes and well done action scene involving a train. Now back to Faye. Faye recieves a beta tape from a delivery service. But this is the 2070's. VHS and BETA decks are rare. So Spike and Jet got to extra lengths to find one. Propably the only part on this tape where the dub doesn't work is for the tape otaku, but the dub for the Shaft brother and Pam Greir look alike are way better than the subtitled version, its almost scary how real it is. A fun and heartwarming volume that should be a must for anyone who likes afros, video tapes, scooter, little doggies and rocket launchers. Overall, the funniest volume ever on par with 'Cowboy Funk'. You gotta see it.

You'll laugh so hard, you'll wet your pants!

Radical Edward and Ein make an awsome team together in this riot filled epsiode of Cowboy Bebop. I couldn't stop laughing as she rode on that motor powered scooter and causing trouble for everybody on the scene. For the first and only time I saw her wearing socks but she took them off because she kept falling on her butt. She made the right choice cause I like to be barefooted too. I reconized some more talents of hers such as walking on her hands and rolling down the street in a doughnut shape. Too bad she was only used only as comedy relief, she and Ein would make a great spinoff cartoon like pretty Sammy. I hope the creator of Cowboy Bebop would do just that. Computers and being barefooted rules! Yea!
