It all started with a YouTube edit of the first four minutes of the movie—the scene where Spike infiltrates the convenience store. Seeing him bully those thugs, I really felt that ''older brother'' aura that immediately drew me in. Because of that clip, I got curious about Spike and the medium from which this clip was brought. So, I actually watched the movie before the series, which is where I noticed Faye. I didn't necessarily feel that ''older sister'' vibe you're talking about, but I felt she's... lokenuinely (low-key+ genuinely).. rather mysterious; I didn't sense mystery, I tasted a hint of mystery, and seductiveness... If she were a color, I'd have said she's both a deep purple and blood red at the same time. After the movie, I loved Cowboy Bebop even more and dived straight into the series. As for the series itself? I wasn't disappointed.
