I used to work at a Japanese restaurant in my college days and when I told my coworker I had a really bad hangover, he would make me a prairie oyster. I'll never forget that guy. He told me he learned that from an anime he saw years ago when he was in Japan, which turns out to be Cowboy Bebop lol.

So there's an anime literally called Bartender where destitute and down-on-their-luck people go to a bar where a prodigy bartender serves them one life-changing drink. It's got 11 or 12 episodes, so it's pretty short. Each episode features one specific drink.

[@rickdeckard7098]

AKA "Gentle Perch" the anime.

[@emjd2009]

​@@rickdeckard7098 There was a parody of this where in the same scenario, the bar tender serves the down and destitute guest of the week the exact same hot cup of instant coffee, day or night, whatever. Then its some two minutes of twilight zone bullshit they bring themselves--until finally at the end he's accosted by an englishman from the 1970s demanding to know whether his drink was as good as the other concoction being featured in that episode. Most of the protagonists never got the other beverage at all, either being ignored or refused, or stranded at the bottom of a cave. This of course leads to the series iconic framing shot, where the protagonist looks woefully over his nasty cup of instant coffee, getting cold in an old fashioned styrofoam break room coffee cup, and held aloft and away, so as to let the viewer appreciate it's horrific banality. I'd love to see some more fan art of that. In one episode, the hero held his cup of joe like a torch that could only point him towards places darker than from which he came and to those places he marched. That was the finale, Instant Coffee is Forever, or something like that. In every other episode, the protagonist is confronted by mealy englishman who demands to know a preference. This is the nadir of destitution. Exhausted and confused, deprived and beaten, looking frantically for an iota of normality, would ultimately profess that indeed, the instant coffee was better than that other drink, or what everyone else was having. Voice over would say, "This has been Spacefarer's Choice Instant Coffee Theater!" and the credits would run. Great show. Does anyone know what happened to it?

[@GundamGokuTV]

@@emjd2009 Never heard of that one. Do you have a name? Sounds less like a parody and more akin to the Silent Hill of Coffee.

I just realised what the charm of this channel is. It feels like chatting with the friendly bartender at a quiet bar, where you relax and enjoy a cocktail, not a loud, busy nightclub or a fancy restaurant bar where you feel anxious about your order. It's just very comforting and pleasant. You always have some interesting backstories and history, but you're always saying something and moving the story forward, not just trying to talk to lengthen the video. It's nice. You're a great role model to young guys, too. It's also very nice to see personality from other people, they're not butting in too much, but it feels like there's actual people there with the occasional exchanges. You deserve millions of subscribers, but I'm also happy you're able to communicate with your viewers so much!

For the question about the bourbon and Earth, to quote Jet, "Nothing good comes from Earth anymore."

[@netherdominater9960]

I mean realistically if we don't improve the environment and clean up our pollution then the Earth is gonna be a pretty shitty place to live let alone produce goods from by 2071

[@Swindle1984]

Which is interesting, because bourbon, like scotch or cognac, is a protected product: you can't call it bourbon unless it's made a specific way, and comes from a specific region.

[@Swindle1984]

@@netherdominater9960 Earth was messed up in Cowboy Bebop because the first space gate exploded, blew up part of the moon, and caused giant space rocks and radioactive material to rain down on the planet. Hence why most people moved into space. But Earth is still populated and still has industry, even though entire swathes of cities are abandoned (Jet and Spike end up going through an abandoned, flooded section of a city to find a VCR they can play Faye's tape on, because they can't find a functional one for sale anywhere due to being ancient technology, only to discover that VHS and Beta are two different formats once they do retrieve a working VCR.).

@@Swindle1984 I bet if Earth got all fucked and we wound up in the stars though, somebody would capitalize on Old Earth nostalgia and call their whiskey "bourbon" anyway. You're in space: who's really gonna call you on it in a way that can result in punishment?

As someone that just recently rewatched the series for the first time in almost 14 years, can I almost guarantee that you will actually enjoy the show more NOW as an adult than when you were a kid. I don't think I fully grasped the themes and soul of the show when I was a teenager as I do now. I highly recommend anyone to revisit Cowboy Bebop if they grew up watching it. It truly is a well made series.

[@CHKNFRGZ]

I just did, (although it had only been about 6 years for me) after watching one episode of the dumpster fire that was the Netflix live action "re-imagining". Crimminy christmas, the soundtrack is so good, the characters are brilliant, the humour is so on point, the art style has not lost any of the "wow" factor... Aye ya, such a good show. Also named my newest cat Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky the 4th. The vet gave me a very strange look when I told her that I wanted the entire thing on the license.

[@Kaiyanwang82]

You also grasp more movie/music references I think. But overall, yeah - you lived longer so you have more weight to carry so the series hits you harder.

"Call Me." I have never cried so hard during an anime as I did watching Ed and Faye do their thing while Jet and Spike eat their feelings through three or so dozen hard boiled eggs. Heart wrenching. Absolutely beautiful song. It still makes me choke up. My eyes are tearing just thinking about it.

[@danielm5535]

A unique fact about the soundtrack- the writers gave Yoko Kanno the outline script early in production, she dedicated a style of music (western waltz, blues, etc) to the episode as if it were another character. Then during animation, they paced it to Kanno’s music, rather than adjusting or composing the music to fit the animation.

[@bradleylovej]

This is cool, I didn't know that

[@Dell-ol6hb]

when you have someone as talented as Yoko Kanno you just go with her vision rather than the other way around 😂, she knew what she was doing

[@ryancarlson5838]

I have a bit of trivia to add to Fay's drink; vodka and hot water. I live in Japan and I found adding hot water to distilled alcohol to be super normal here but not with vodka. In Japan she wouldn't normally be drinking vodka and hot water with a cold but imo-shochu which is a shochu (distilled alcohol) made from sweet potatoes. Super normal in winter, or when you are sick to drink shochu and ooyu (hot water). Ratio tends to be one to one but, in many small restaurants or bars you often just get a glass with socho and a tea pot with hot water to mix in as much as you want. It has a unique flavor but I don't like it myself. It tends to be an old man's drink. I think the writers wanted to have her drink shochu ooyuwari but Faye is not Japanese so they switched it for vodka. Love your videos! Kanpai!

[@Reddotzebra]

So does this shochu taste similar to vodka?

[@chrislee8343]

That makes a lot of sense actually...

[@The_Novu]

I've never heard of adding hot water to a drink. Weird. You'd think it'd ruin it by diluting the alcohol.

[@Zzyzzyzzs]

In a lot of cultures getting drunk isn't the point of most drinks. It's the tonic effect of the warm drink, the curative properties of things like herbs it's often infused with and the relaxation from the alcohol. Sometimes even just the vapours rising off warmed spirits is therapeutic.

As someone who stays very close to anime critique, the GENERAL consensus is that objectively the best made anime of all time comes down to Bebop or FMA: Brotherhood. Personally, out of the two, my answer would probably flip everytime you asked me. Of course, with the influx of new great anime in recent years, given some time there could be a new challenger for that title, namely Mob Psycho 100.

[@xenocide1307]

Bit late to the party here (and someone with greater knowledge of both anime and Japanese drinking culture may already have noted this), but it's possible that the "hot water and vodka" drink is an attempt at translating for Western audiences a shochu with hot water, which I've also seen served with muddled ume.

In my opinion, he didn't give vodka at the time but Spirytus Rektyfikowany. Dilute it with water so you can drink it.

"The night is short, walk on girl" is an anime movie that's pretty much about cocktails so it's got my vote.

[@Otokichi786]

Spike Spiegel: Prairie Oyster (with "Boofeater Gin.) Jet Black: Cowboy. (How about some "El Presidente"?) Faye Valentine: Vodka & Hot Water Substitute: Vodka Toddy.

[@wafflesthewookiee4716]

Oh yeah you’ve opened the Pandora’s box that is anime. There ain’t no closing now. Now I gotta do some research to find anime that have cocktails in them.

[@jonathanwilker6047]

There are some in Hinamatsuri, but I dont think there were any originals in there.

I swear, I keep coming back to this episode solely for that cold opening. I can't keep a straight face at Greg's expression! And yes Greg, you totally nailed it! I might just have to watch Cowboy Bebop at this rate.

You sir, are you my Spirit Animal! Everything you have said and done on this episode to Cowboy Bebop ( along with the intro ) was great and I tip my hat to you sir, catch you later Space Cowboy.

If you want an anime with lots of drinks, "Love is a Cocktail" is a bunch of short episodes each of which focus on a single drink. I believe they're all real drinks as well.

[@yosukehanamura8182]

I started screaming when I was hit with that intro. Cowboy Bebop has always been a fave and I appreciate you making these drink! Love your videos as always! 💕💕💕

"I don't know why it's called a cowboy" C'mon Greg, you're a dad, I had more faith in you! I would assume it's a pun. The "cow" coming from the half and half, obviously being a dairy product from a cow, and the entire "cowboy" in reference to the bourbon, a spirit often associated with the American West and cowboys!
