Anime in Focus: Coyote Ragtime Show episode 2

Previous Episode

This episode is available on Funimation’s website, FREE!

Alright, after a really explosive first episode, Galactically famous Coyote ( general criminal mastermind) Mister is seen going to another planet, looking a picture of some girl with pink hair. At the beginning of this episode, we see how that girl, named Franca, is doing. At the moment, she’s running a bar on some backwater planet. Meanwhile, we get to hear about Mister’s incredibly… colorful criminal record. Meanwhile, Marciano is pulling a coup at… whatever criminal organization she works with.

Anyway, Mister barges on into this bar right in the middle of a large brawl. Due to his reputation, Mister isn’t generally well received among the people there. A gunfight breaks out, causing Mister and Franca to be saved by…. Those old guys in Cowboy Bebop? This show just can’t stop making references to Bebop, can it? Not that that’s a bad thing. After Mister and Franca break out, we get some exposition about what exactly is going on. Apparantly, something is going to happen on the planet Graceland in about a week that will cause it to be destroyed, and Mister has to find some treasure on the planet before time is up. Also, for some reason Franca has a rocket launcher hidden nearby. It seems like EVERYBODY has a rocket launcher in this series.

After a rather interesting chase scene, Mister, Franca, and his crew head off to Graceland, being chased by the government and Marciano’s 12 sisters.

From this episode, we can gather that this series likes to move very fast and feed you details as it goes along. I personally love the attitude, because it forces you to care about the little details, and makes you want to learn more. Should be doing the other episodes of this series sometime soon.
