One of the things I like most about this is that unlike a lot of anime protagonists, Spike is making it up as he goes along. He doesn't have some mega-advanced nuclear psychotic 115-step plan to make it through security and get the whatever. He just like. shows up in a janitor's uniform, gets caught by the first person he sees, and then has to improvise from there. It's very in keeping with the spirit of the show.

You just don't hear voice acting like Steve Blum anymore, damn. He was 100% there in the show.

[@DeathBringer769]

Blum is my all time favorite but even I will admit that the general quality of voice acting has slowly gone UP over time since the 90s, definitely not down... Yes, it's been a slow climb with many crappy voices in-between, but when you look at the state of voice acting now with Last of Us, Uncharted 4, Bioshock Infinite, etc... Steve Blum is still amazing but other talents are slowly catching up and becoming more widespread. I feel like these days my odds of running into shitty voice acting have lowered to around 50% whereas back in 1998 my odds of running into crappy English voice acting was more like 75-85% chance, if you get me... and hell, even the 3 games I listed don't star Steve Blum as the main character, but he still appeared in ALL 3 as background voices/characters still. The man's still the king for me personally but I don't think the general state of voice acting has gone down since back in the day, more like quite the opposite though we still have a long way to go...

[@kevinmathewson4272]

[@Shadywolf09]

Steve has said that CB was like a stepping stone for him. ''Spike changed everything,'' as he has said regarding his career. He got multiple opportunities in voice work because of this show and it meant a lot to him. He met Mary, voice of Julia, who was in charge of the dubbing process, and they are now dating. He got the sound wave of Spike's last word in the series, ''Bang'' tattooed on his left arm and always signs off of interviews with that word. Also, he has a few Spike pictures in frames in his home office.

For all those complaining about Spike cleaning the wall by sweeping it, It’s actually a quick technique for dusting high lettering plaques from actual Janitors. When you're doing a quick clean through a hallway and a ladder isn't available or necessary, a quick few swipes of your broom dusts the letters just as effectively. Otherwise you get dust build up on top of the names/locations and that doesn't look good for the building's sanitation.

I love how the animation in this movie is so fluid, especially the final fight against Vincent.

[@oliverallen2565]

Erin Babb it’s awesome

[@c.galindo9639]

Spike really knows how to catch the eyes of a lady. I really enjoy his nonchalant way of fighting which seems effortless to him but he really is doing some very complex movements throughout his scenes where he is in close combat

[@georgeofhamilton]

Kinda cute how Spike has that lighthearted grin on his face when he fights an easy opponent.

[@krtlkid]

Fighting and flirting at the same time takes skills

[@TheAdorkableRJ]

''The jumpsuit does nothing for you!'' I disagree.

[@SuperWHIIITE]

Spike looks surprisingly good in blue. Not to mention it makes the two characters pop out during the fight because of their contrasting colors.

[@HandSeals]

Spike is a boss.

[@BombTanq]

Yes he is

[@adoresessy101]

Dat icon pic tho.... the feels.

[@AngelTovar]

Steve Blum is a BOSS!

[@ashleyshanks6821]

Spike just casually mopping a wall, as one does. I wonder how she figured it out?

[@solomon9655]

2:40 ooooh that's an ankle buster right there

[@joemusashi7774]

My favourite part is Electra's kick at 1:29. Spike was lucky to dodge that. He would have been knocked out cold otherwise. A pity she never featured in the series. She's much more badass than Faye.

[@ilovenatsuki1384]

i love natsuki anyway

[@EkipsspiegeL]

Wouldnt call it lucky if he saw it coming. He was practically toying with her the whole time.

[@georgeofhamilton]

[@StarkSpider24]

She’s actually attractive looking, too 👌

[@thechampuru]

When she broke the broom at 2:04, it sounded like Spike enjoyed that! 🤣👏🏼

This is Spike at his absolute most Lupin III and I'm all here for it.

Spike = Fluid / water. That enough to portrayed his character.

Spike "I love the kind of woman who can kick my ass" Spiegel

[@matthewspencer2094]

She warns him by cocking the gun rather than just killing him. He doesn't need the warning; he'd already snapped the broom up. She turns towards the incoming guards, he warns her by telegraphing the strike with the broom. He sprays down the guards, but chooses just to run from her; trusting she won't shoot towards bystanders. Epic show don't tell. Tells us who they are, that they both understand both each other's ethics and the lesser restraint of the guards.

[@SsjPerseus]

One of the greatest anime fights of all time. It doesn’t have to be Goku vs Jiren to be epic and Cowboy Bebop is proof of that. The art is absolutely amazing, the fights are so different then most shows and flow of combat feels like you’re actually watching two people fist fight. Can’t see stuff like this anywhere else

“I love the kind of woman that can kick my ass.” Is a smoother line than the other one

"I love a woman that could kick my ass" Lol. Love that queot so much. I also like that kind of woman.

[@ballsdeep6924]

In a medium confined to the animation with little to no room for improvisation, the fact that he can add a little disappointed sound before the “guess not” and still fitting in to the time frame his line was in seems cool to me Edit: of course I’m not an expert or anything so that might be bullshit

[@NotoriusMaximus]

voice acting goes before the animation

[@tomemeornottomeme1864]

@@NotoriusMaximus Not when you're dealing with a dub. It's not like the show was written in English, they're voicing over preexisting scenes, so in this case animation comes first.

[@charlie2b-d335]

Now thats what I call a masterpiece on a fight mechanics flow, CGI designers cannot compete to this timeless classic.
