You Can't Escape the Past
With the release of the live action Netflix Cowboy Bebop, Nerd Talk Dan has made a retrospective (anime explained in English video essay) of the anime Cowboy Bebop, one of the most revered works to hit the west in the early 2000s. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and with music by the now legendary Yoko Kanno, anime Cowboy Bebop showed us what would happen if jazz was anime by embodying the soul of jazz through an improvisational nature based on a strong and familiar structure.

      @NerdTalkDan now, I could make an argument that the show is framed much like a stage melodrama. Which would explain the philosophical waxing and the on the nose names such as Heero and Peacecraft. As far as the incomplete feeling, I wonder if they were given a "wrap it up by x-date" scenario and had to resolve. Especially since they changed directors halfway through production.

    Halo 3 and the book Contact Harvest confirmed it both in 2007 already. No idea why you said that Bungie has anything to do with the changes, all the stuff that came out during the Bungie era told you that Forerunners are Human or don't talk about the Forerunner at all. The only thing that came out during the Bungie era that doesn't go with that is 343 first fan faction work - Halo Legends. Halo 4&5, all the books that came after Halo: The Cole Protocol are just fan factions that got made official by Microsoft/343. There is a reason why Infinite killed off the bullshit ship that never made any sense 4 years after the UNSC lost basically everything and most of the Halo 4&5 characters in the first 3 mins of it's story. And Infinite story itself is so pointless, since all we do is: -get Cortana 2.0 which ofc still is a baby -fly around with the crying guy that had not enough time to grow out of that annoying part -we killed some bad guys that really badly want to put "killed Masterchief" on their LinkedIn profile page xD -and apparently we got some kind of time travel now (which could also be used to explain why we get remakes as next games)

    It's one of very few anime I can go back to later and like it even better than the first three or four times. As one of those works that is completely unhinged and drenched in creative passion, to where part of enjoying it is imagining how much fun coming up with all the crazy ideas must have been. Similarly to works like Dragon's Heaven where what I assume to be a massive part of the budget, was spent building a stupid big model of the main robot, just so they could shoot a cool intro for it with smoke effects and lighting. Or Kemono Friends, Inferno Cop and South Park, in their specific niches.

    Dude you made this video in 2019?? You were speaking the truth long before we were willing to listen. Honestly the fact that we didn't know humans were forerunnners is kinda embarrassing. It was directly in frornt of us and we were to dumb to figure it out. I randomly came to this conclusion while replying halo 3 or 1 a few years ago. Just playing the game, taking everything in, then going "wait, humans are Forerunners. That just makes so much more sense." Also anyone who says 343 GS is an unreliable source, he literally is telling the truth about everything else in the games(sometime he withholds information). Why would he lie about the Forerunners identity

    by using a soundtrack that undertones the conflict, the show makes us feel like the conflict itself is the payoff. And it is perfect with the feeling that the show tries to convey. When we are maturing, conflict, more often than not, is, itself, a kind of payoff to the turmoil that goes within us. It is not the sollution to conflict, but the rupture that makes us grow

      @@PoppaCYS I feel ya, but the original Operation: Meteor had the pilots mostly serving as a distraction while a colony drop happened. Their purpose wasn’t to slow down the takeover of the colonies, that was already the case. Their job once the pilots and scientists decided to go AWOL in protest of the original plan was to destroy OZ. We know for a fact that they are mission critical and valuable assets, but like all soldiers are disposable if the need arises, for example when Une aims missiles at a colony, Dr. J basically tells Heero to destroy the Gundam and himself with it (although he seems to have always been a bit self destructive). The point is that, like any soldier, their lives are secondary to the mission and the cause.
