Waltz for Venus (Episode 8)
Bebop isn’t all serialized storytelling, however. Some of its best episodes are entirely standalone adventures that ask you to invest in a small slice of the anime’s world… and, more often than not, ask you to break your heart a little by the end of its 2o-odd-minute runtime. “Waltz for Venus” is no exception to this rule, a bittersweet story that further explores what the moral murkiness of Bebop’s world can do to good people.
