Context HoYay / CowboyBebop

Go To

1* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' has a surprising amount of this between [[MsFanservice Faye]] and [[GenkiGirl Ed]], ranging from Ed affectionately calling her "Faye-Faye" (cute, but relatively innocuous) to Faye kissing Ed ''on the mouth'', which is a very weird attempt to wake someone up.
2** Don't forget Faye's super manipulative behavior towards Ed, is Ed that crazy to believe Faye, or is Ed...
3** From a purely emotional standpoint, they have one of the most solid relationships in the crew. Faye is definitely short-tempered with her, but she's like that with everyone, and she's never done anything that would go so far to hurt Ed's feelings. In fact she's the one to tell Ed that finding where you belong is the most important thing you can find, which is what gets her to leave the ship and strike out on her own.
4** Also of note is the end of Ed's debut episode. At one point, Faye cries out "Hey, you're a girl!" Which is followed by the sound of Ed giggling. However, the camera had panned out to an outside view of the ship, leaving it ambiguous what happened to trigger this exchange.
5* The sexual tension between Faye and Julia from nearly the moment they meet had plenty of viewers asking [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer "dudes, is Faye hot for Spike's girlfriend or what?"]]
6** When Jet asks BrokenBird Faye what Julia was like, Faye responds with "Ordinary. A beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you can't leave alone. Like an angel from the underworld, or maybe a devil from paradise".
7** It's also interesting to note that in young Faye's message to her future self in ''Speak Like a Child'', she speculates on her future relationship status thusly: "Am I alone? Or is there a wonderful '''person''' beside me?" The lack of a specified gender could indicate she's bisexual.
8* Can't analyze Cowboy Bebop's HoYay without mentioning Gren/Vicious. It's even more visible if you have in mind that Gren tells Faye that he is not interested in women, twice.
