This isn't one of the better episodes, in my opinion, but it makes up for it by introducing us to a wider look at the Bebop universe with some well incorporated comedy thrown in.
I always enjoyed how in Bebop, it takes place in the future but every thing remains familiar, like humanity won't make HUGE gigantic strides in terms of culture compared to where we are today, with the exception that people now have the ability to travel through space.
The positioning of Mars is a great example:
Although Asteroid Blues shows some locales, it doesn't really show off the city life too well.
The city on Mars doesn't look too far off from our own:
You can kinda tell this is the Chinatown portion of this city.
Though this episode isn't one of the best and I'd throw it on the weaker side of things, it still has a lot to like.
The bounty for this episode for instance. He goes from this:
to this:
This is just hilarious for too many reasons to list.
Then there's Ein and the chase. The whole thing is full of character despite the utterly ridiculous set up.
