Director Shinichiro Watanabe uses an impressive array of computer effects to depict a battle in hyperspace in "Boogie-Woogie Feng-Shui," as Jet helps the daughter of an old friend solve a mystery involving gangsters and mysticism. When pirates hit the Bebop with a computer virus in "Wild Horses," Spike demonstrates his skill as a pilot, flying the Swordfish by the seat of his pants. In "Cowboy Funk," Spike almost captures the Teddy Bomber, a fanatic who hides explosives in stuffed animals, but he's interrupted by Andy, a wealthy heir who plays at bounty hunter in cowboy regalia. The near-farcical rivalry that develops between Andy and Spike feels closer in tone to the misadventures of Vash the Stampede in "Trigun" than the gritty hero of "Pierrot Le Fou."
Unrated: suitable for ages 13 and up for violence, profanity, and smoking. --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews of Cowboy Bebop - Session 5
another set of fantastic episodes. I must say I'm quite relieved to find that Cowboy Bebop is rebounding back after the slight dip in episode quality I noticed in DVD3 and to a lesser extent in DVD4. I'm happy to report that 3/4 of this DVD is top-quality Bebop material, and it definitely deserves to be a part of every anime fan's library.
Episode 19 - Wild Horses
If there is any episode on this disc which didn't quite live up to the Bebop name, it was Wild Horses. The plot is decent enough, but things just seem to move along a bit too slowly.
Episode 20 - Pierrot Le Fou
Unquestionably the best episode of the group, Pierrot has comedy and action but most of all, it reeks of creativity. I always enjoy the unique episodes the best, and this one hooked me right from the start.
Episode 21 - Boogie Woogie Feng Shui
A decent episode marred only by the fact that the new guest character is almost as annoying as Ed. Otherwise, the space firefight was cool.
Episode 22 - Cowboy Funk
Another great episode, obviously intented for some comedic relief after the somewhat emotional end to Boogie Woogie. Andy is a cool character, and the bounty here is a really funny guy.
This DVD is a worthy member of the Cowboy Bebop library.
Open Foot, Insert Mouth
Session 5 is almost a break before the episodes that will wrap up the series. Here we get to enjoy what is quintessential Bebop - humor, some scares, and stories with an unexpected twist. Each of these stories introduces a unique character. None will reappear, although is a few circumstances the viewer will wish otherwise. We also get to see an unexpected side of Jet and Spike making a complete idiot of himself (which is normal, I guess).
With only one DVD left to go in this series, I am already experiencing Bebop withdrawal. No matter what else I am reading or watching, Cowboy Bebop has always been a welcome change of pace. If you have been watching these along with me I'm sure you have discovered the same thing.
Episode 19 - While Spike is getting his old ship overhauled by Doohan - who assembled the Swordfish out of scrap years ago - Faye and Jet try to catch some pirates and get a computer virus instead. Look for a ghost out of the past to come to the rescue.
Episode 20 - Jet gets a note from an old friend and feng-shui master. When he arrives he finds Pao's daughter instead and starts on a wild chase for the 'sun stone.' This time Ein puts his paw on the answer and Ed figures it out.
Episode 21 - Spike stumbles into the middle of an assassination and finds that he is now being hunted by a deadly maniac in a top hat and ruffles. 'Mad Pierrot' decides Spike has to go to the 'fun' house.
Episode 22 - Imagine a bounty hunter with one-third the intelligence of a pumpkin and three times the accident proneness of Faye and you have Andy and his trusty horse. Of course, Andy and Spike have duke it out for who owns the title of 'real' cowboy - and avoid being blown to smithereens by a teddy bear.
Second to Last...
The second to last DVD shows exactly how crazy the future can be by throwing in wild-crazy characters (much like Sympathy for the Devil, episode 6)
19: Wild Horses: New character: the old spacer that gave Spike his ship. This episode has some good space-scenes in it, especially the search-and-rescue attempt.
20: Pierrot Le Fou: New Character: Tongpu, the most twisted murderer in all of cinematic existence. Spike runs into the murderer, apparently killing random drug lords, and Spike gets away. Later, the final showdown happens in an amusement park.
21: Boogie-Woogie Feng-Shui: Jet-isode, New Character: Jet's old friend's daughter. She seeks out Jet to find her father (actually they meet in an awkword place, thanks to something called universal feng shui.
22: Cowboy Funk: Nearly a Spike-isode. A new face (Andy) shows up; a "real" cowboy, about as smart as horse droppings but somehow always in the right place at the right time. The crew (mainly Faye) tells Spike that he's just like Andy, but most viewers call her a dumbass at this point. Then, comedy insues.
The extras here aren't too great (like the rest of the DVDs), but I think Le Fou and Funk are good enough to make this DVD extremely buyable.
