No. You had your chance and you blew it. Now you want to shove your failure down our throats by force. How about you FIRE the Faye valentine actor for pretty much starting the negative view on your adaptation with fans. Bring someone more suited to the roll. For God's sake man bring out a better Ed. The heck was that train wreck. You have an opportunity to make it right with the fans whom are thr ones that you should be impressing. They are your bread and butter but no.
I'm hoping to god, praying to Kami and wishing to The eternal dragon Shenron on the Dragon balls that this turns out great, and the trailer so far is promising with the fight choreography and the way the actors say their lines are just like the anime. This is hopefully going to turn out okay, with an interesting story of course( maybe)
@@slimeburger7644 did u watch the anime dubbed mate or what are you talking about? the characterization is completely different from the anime so they are going for a new thing rather than a recreation
Seems to be the most rational approach. They clearly seem to be respecting the source material. The music in the trailer is still as amazing as ever. Even if it's not 100% the OG story, if it has the same tone and musical style? I'm likely down for it.
Honestly theres no way they could ever match the original, just on an aesthetic level alone. I'm fairly optimistic that this will be a labour of love to the show and it'll probably be quite a good show in its own right, but I'm not expecting it to be even close to perfect
Listen. There are few IP's that I will be hopelessly hopeful about. This apparently is one. Tbh, I don't think they will have the hardcore fans on board. But I'm in. I'll enjoy it as much as the Inuyasha live actions. Especially if they have that music in there.
The Show is 11/10. Perfect inspiration of the original. The majority of the criticizers are fat bullied nerds that have no wire to the reality therefor can't even comprehend the original Anime lmao. Now they wanna decide and sadly ruined the epic live action version for us. Sad world, Dumb people
@@Anudorini-Talah Sorry bro, the "fat neck beard" cliche is dry and stale. This failed because the writers ruined it, not because "HUR DUR FANS ARE TOXIC". Stop making excuses for terrible production, and maybe you might be graced with a good show.
This kind of "epic moment interrupting with kindergarten stuff" comedy, which became famous after marvel's movies, will stop forever one day and, only then, pop cinema will be great again.
DIslike is disabled now bc of vaccine/covid propaganda - they were tired of seeing people dislike everything related to it, so they took away our dislike button smh.. so petty
“For the new Netflix live-action adaptation, they sent me a video to review and check. It started with a scene in a casino, which made it very tough for me to continue. I stopped there and so only saw that opening scene. It was clearly not Cowboy Bebop and I realized at that point that if I wasn’t involved, it would not be Cowboy Bebop." -Shinichiro Watanabe
The music is what set this apart, the music was everything for me in this series, set the stage, and made you feel. Excited to see Yokko Kanno come to this live adaptation
But don't you feel that along with the music it was also that old school grainy animation. Its the whole lofi vibe thing. I am worried that will be lost. Yes the music sound proper but it feels lite
@@unclekbmow2320 well it came out in 98’ so the graphics are not cgi they are animated, and my copies are clean. I don’t really see any grainy ness , just noncgi graphics. You will never replace the animated series. Hopefully they can keep the grit of the OG.
I love Cowboy Bebop but I know this live action can't be exactly like the anime and if we can give them some wiggle room on stuff this will be really great 👍
Thank you Netflix, for solidifying the greatness of the original anime by reminding me that the American film and music industries are run by assholes in grey suits who don't know how to be creative or respect art.
@@ishanchatterjee1587 Well, I just finished whole story. That sentence togther with whole ending made me soo fcking sad. Not sure I'm strong enough to carry that weight.
I am pretty positive Ed will have one of the smallest role in the live action movie even though Ed brought that life moment of, 'Oh right, everyone moves on'. I hope the movie proves me wrong.
To be honest with you I'm kind of terrified of what they're going to do with Ed lol I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to make it a big trans thing lol and I personally don't think that's what Ed's message is
Seeing how is how mushroom samba is literally an Ed and Ein episode, and I think I saw the afro guy that carries the casket in this trailer, I think we'll be okay. Glad to see the Mad Pierrot though!
@@HappyTheOrdinaryCat me too. I'm scared they're going to radicalize Edward too much..😏 Literally and as a joke. She's not trans! She's just a young girl that looks like a boy. Believe me you're not alone and you are completely justified in your fears.
Well considering that there are only 26 original episodes my guess is there will be the equivalent of two anime episodes put into each live action episode so Edward will probably show up halfway If at all I know ein is going to show up but haven't seen any mentioning of Edward
@@DarkAnon100 I have a feeling people hope it doesn't crash, but directors have this funny habit of not knowing anything about the anime universe they're remaking into a live action film, and then it's something to make fun of for decades to come. What DBZ movie? One thing's for sure, I am a long time Cowboy Bebop fan, and the fans of this series are going to be super critical. Good luck Netflix, don't f*k it up for us fans.
The actor playing Jet nailed the voice. Also they're showing way more of the ships and world than I was expecting. I thought they'd cheap out on that. Pleasantly surprised.
Everyone seems so miscast here except him. He looks more Jet than the original Jet. With the rest of the cast, I just hope this is kind of a Geralt situation with Henry Cavill where some thought he was miscast but it went on to be pretty good.
@@sergioccs74 Danielle Pineda is the worst! It's irritating that she looks absolutely nothing like Faye, they could have at least gotten the hair length right.
@@Jerguy I agree but Faye isn't possible to get. She's a anime girl unrealistic figure man. And the out fit couldn't stay on like it does in the anime. Bit I feel you that her personality is wrong
@@escalatingbarbarism5096 because in the original teaser it seamed they were all pals(good friends) but in this trailer it shows the mistrust and conflict the characters have in the anime series.
@@DJMaxxAmmo I think you have a terrible read of the original show. Pointing a gun at someone for comedy is stupid and unsubtle. And if there had ever been any actual conflict and mistrust, they wouldn't have let Faye stay on the ship.
Honestly the DeathNote movie wasn't that bad. People just couldn't look past that it was a different retelling rather than a fourth version of the same damn thing.
It's not his age, but his acting ability. I could see somebody with the skill of Lee Jung-jae pulling off Spike much more easily, despite being the same age. Harold just isn't a very good actor, and it shows.
In retrospect: Big thank you to the VFX crew, you guys really nailed the grimy "show don't tell" atmosphere the original show. The wear & tear alongside the dirty sets clash with the clean cosplay looking costumes & goofy writing but that means you did everything right. Glad to see there was some passion put into it
"Whatever happens...happens." They've made it painfully clear that they're aware of the stakes, and that they've already filmed this, and it's coming out for better or worse. Absolutely genius to throw that in the trailer.
@@thetruthroomwherenothingis4979Its because Jet was often voiced by a black actor and put into a Danny Glover role like in Lethal Weapon. If they didnt swap them the whole cast would be white people.
Hoping this leans more into the goofiness and fun aspects of Bebop. I don't think you could make a serious and moody adaptation in live action without losing the charm of its animation. Embrace the camp, and make it fun!
Wtf, wasn't the trailer all about the goof? Here I was hoping they saved at least some of the moodiness, though I agree with you that it should definitely not be a melodramatic-reboot-from-2008 kinda thing :D
I hope it’s fun but I specifically hope the keep the actual silliness of the original instead of trying to go for that detached winking meta humor that’s so common these days. I like detached meta humor but I loved how sincerely goofy bebop can get without trying to justify itself. Idk if I’m making sense
From what I've seen i think you're correct. If you want a more serious take you can't have your cast look like they're cosplaying the cast of bebop. Marvel understood this. Which is why you never see mcu characters wearing outfits that identical to their comic book counter parts.
I’m choosing to view this show as completely separate from the source material. I think that’s the only way that anyone could enjoy it. It looks pretty good!
@@dawishes2329 Oh, I agree there are reasons for it. The $160 dollars I paid for the Warhammer Online Collector's Edition box sitting on my shelf and 6 months of intangible game time for it is my testament to that. There is something to be said for the charm of being able to get hyped for things though.
I like that they seems to be going for a more “anime color palette”instead of the extra dark gritty adaptions we’ve gotten before. It looks fun. And the costumes look true to what the characters wear in the anime, not just “realistic” adaptions of it. I like that they seem to be leaning into the ridiculousness of the original and that they’re keeping the banging soundtrack!
You could have a frame for frame remake of the original with exact reproductions of the anime costumes.... and it still wouldn't be Bebop if you didn't have the soundtrack.
@@thetruthroomwherenothingis4979 Seriously? You DO know that adaptations change character ethnicity existed for ages, even in Japan they changes character ethnicities to asian when they adapt outside material. It takes a very fragile white male to be offended by that (source: a white male)
@@thetruthroomwherenothingis4979 what character in Cowboy Bebop has a foundation built on their race?? None of the characters of the main cast have anything in their story that requires they be White, black, Japanese, or any other race for that matter. Is Mortal Kombat woke because MKX and the 90's MK movie had Johnny Cage as the main character of both stories or is it only woke when it's a minority?? I'm actually curious.
@@baldybald100 It's called "Tank!", and it really is an amazing song. I don't really care much for jazz but this show's soundtrack always had me groovin' along. The ending song "The Real Folk Blues" is pretty damn good too, the singing is in Japanese though so you'll need subs/translated lyrics if you wanna understand it(unless you speak Japanese). But you should check out the whole OST, there's a lot of good shit there.
Yoko kanno is back on board so i dont think we have to worry about the soundtrack at all, last teaser already had Green bird playing in the background.
@@markparkinson6947 The good shows werent good then, at least nor financially because at the end, profit is what matters to the shareholders and in this case, it didnt appearantly due to low ratings and viewership.
Just got done watching the anime then, realize the Netflix version had a few episodes already! After the first episode, I'm gonna go back and watch the anime all over again!
@Matthew Dsouza Highly recommended! And, jus to say, I have not yet seen the Netflix product 😂🤣 heheheh, but Cowboy Bebop should always be recommended, it is simply a masterpiece. As I write to you in my mind I go through episodes and music ( happy owner of the incredible soundtrack, sweet limited vinyl 😁 ) and it's like I'm doing a mental rewatch, an anime that's not just an anime, it's something sublime to which I periodically return and enjoy every time as if it were the first. If you can place it first of the to watch list, or even better, put the first episode on asap ;) ...we're gonna carry that weight.
@Matthew Dsouza I must admit, finished writing this message I went to look at the first 3 episodes...I could not resist!!! I was sure you would like it, and great viewing mode!!! Enjoy it to the fullest ;)
@@Indians-dl3to the anime's tone was a lot less violent and more contemplative. I think Tarantino's style wouldn't exactly fit the story of Cowboy Bebop so well
@@hethen5846 I mean, I don't think Spike is being genuinely hostile. Especially with the second scene in the trailer, it feels very much like a kid/teenager going "pleeeeease, can't I give her just one punch on the arm?"
It obviously isn't going to beat the original we all know that but come on, this looks like a ton of fun. And the soundtrack is going to be out of this world and Cowboy Bebop will have a giant slew of new fans and it'll be popular again. What's not to love? It's a win/win situation
Nothing will beat the original anime, nothing can capture that entirety of that work of art. However, thie looks and feels like it might be something really interesting. I cant wait.
This is the best take on it; the project looks cool enough so far that I'm willing to judge it by its own groove and approach it like a new cover of one of my favorite songs, played in a completely different genre.
It certainly seems like they're trying to be faithful to a degree, but ultimately, it's very difficult to convert a cult classic animation like BeBop into a good live-action adaptation without losing things in the process. I might give it a chance just to see how they've done, but I won't get my hopes up too high.
DAMN... they should have done that! With the gun flip and all. They even have a scene of him saying that in the 2nd teaser on Netflix itself. Not with the gun flip but still, huge missed opportunity in the edit!
Whether this turns out to be an unexpected masterpiece or an expected train-wreck, one thing is certain for both Netflix and the producers: _They're gonna carry that weight_
It's netflix, I had high hopes for this because of John Cho but netflix always finds a way to fail it. The One Piece adaptation is gonna suck just as much lol
Everything was great. The whole show was great. There are just too many toxic self-centered people who love to hate on others. 11/10 I don't care what people say.
Literally it's so sad they cancelled it. I love the anime and the live action was excellent. It bothers me so much that people are nit picking this so horribly. The cinematography is the best I've ever seen in a live action remake. It's vfx and sfx are crazy good, even if you don't like the changes from the anime you have to just appreciate the cinematography. We need a petition to keep this going.
Yeah I get that completely but I watched it with a group of people who had no idea what cowboy bebop was, and they all were super into it so that's gotta be a good sign.
@@vincentbrown3093 No not really. It just means you introduced them to the series using stuff the original creator hated so they may not enjoy the source material as intended. Or they'll see the source material and realize the best parts of the adaptation was just lifted from the original. Either way, they've been set up for disappointment.
I've seen both and honestly I'm not disappointed. The creator will be fine he got money either way. I respect the opinions of those who found distaste instead of a sense of adventure from the conversion. Still you can't deny it was visually stunning and the camera work on point
Just watched the trailer in Japanese version and realized they dubbed it with the original voice actors! I normally watch movies with subtitles but I have to say hearing the original Spike Spiegel’s voice (by Koichi Yamadera) made the trailer so much better.
I hope this doesn't suck. The teaser trailer gave me bad vibes, but this trailer actually gives me positive goosebumps. At the very least, it will draw new fans to the original. Whatever happens... happens.
I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to not compare it too much to the original. They're both made for completely different mediums, made by completely different people.
I can’t watch this. The original Cowboy Bebop is a masterwork of art. It doesn’t need anything added to it. It doesn’t need anything taken away. And it doesn’t need a remake or live action extension. Sorry Netflix. 🙏🏻
Alot of things you have to keep in mind. This season is only going to cover the first few episodes (i would say 5 or 6) of the anime and Edward doesnt show until ep 9 of the anime I take it there probably going to tease her at the end of the season.
This definitely isn't the anime, but it's also clearly trying to have its own identity. The campy ~B-movie aesthetic is an interesting choice. Let's see if they can pull it off.
I'm glad it's not trying to be the anime. When live adaptations try to be the animes they are the absolute worst. I think they are smart by having nods to the style but not trying to complete replicate it.
The B grade aesthetic will arguably work in its favor, as the anime actually went for the same look. The anime IS basically Lupin the 3rd in space after all.
The first time I learned about being "cautiously optimistic" was the remake of Avatar the Last Airbender 2010. Now after Bebop, Samurai Champloo is next. God when will the anxiety end.
Never. You'll either grow old enough to watch your beloved franchises being reinterpreted in an "okay, I guess" way or go down in flames. There is no middle ground. :(
That was over 10 years ago, back when decent movies on comics weren't really a thing, let alone movies based on cartoon/anime... (edit: we had Batman back then as an example but it's not the same and nowadays this genre is really thriving, I'm not a fan but Disney does a great job). This show will try to follow the original and the characterization looks really good. It's also a TV show, so no need to rush anything either. I really don't think this will disappoint. If anything, it will be one of those "yeah, it's a great show and it does justice but I'm just too used to the original anime I've been watching for decades". Anyway, if it's bad, at least you still have the original. But this really looks like our last hope. I can't see any live action being better than this one.
The trailers and promotional work has been really interesting. I'm going to watch this and make believe the anime doesn't exist. I'll probably enjoy it more that way.
i recommend you watch the anime trust me every single thing that you maybe dont like about anime is not in there it is great in every single way and its only one season
This has a clearly large amount of effort put into it so I'm hoping it delivers. But man, sometimes it's hard to be positive when touching a product like this.
Same sentiments. I don't want to be too optimistic nor too negative on this. I want to make sure I'll enjoy the series since its just a 10 episode series.
Least they’re clearly trying. Better to try and fail as they say. If nothing else we could get a fun show that while it misses the mark is still a good ride.
@@MrFitzonic I am still not sure If I will watch the series. I may just rewatch the anime, and enjoy the brilliancy of it with the legendary music in it.
In my opinion, this cast was great, the action was great, but the story was changed in places where it didn't need to be. Again, John Cho did a really good job, and Mustafa Shakir REALLY WAS Jet to the core, but what was around them was just... eh. I wish it had a second season that took the criticism and fixed things a little, but I give it a B- for being faithful for what they were.
Now that is some awful casting. Jet Black should have been Terry Crews but it’s acceptable. The milf guy as Spike though? Looks horrible and sounds horrible. Why couldn’t they get a young (not middle aged) actress to play Faye? Ever see John Krasinski with Spike Spiegel hair and his hands in his pockets? It was alluded to in the show that Spike may be Jewish, so a white guy could play him. Perfect voice, look, and build- unless you’re hung up on race (which says more about you than anyone else).
@@corylim7351 If they're well paced and the actors sell it, a slower fight scene is far more interesting and tense than a super fast one. Not sure if this show can pull that off though.
@@amiccus_ the thing is they don't look well paced they look slow. Now maybe they haven't had their final edit so I'm going to give it a fair shake but I hope they aren't as slow as they currently look.
My love is so deep for the original that honestly any recreation that has actual effort makes me happy. It might not be amazing, but you can tell they worked hard to keep it close to the original with the characters, soundtrack, action, humor and everything. Effort was put into it and you can tell it was made with the original fans in mind, and because of that I’ll love it even if it’s bad :,)
@@AcceleratorUlz I mean they didnt say that they would love it unconditionally, just that they already appreciate the amount of work going into this production is enough for them to acknowledge the hard work being done.
I like how they went for more realistic vision of what the actors can bring and do in the right contrast of the anime. And I'm so glad that they kept the fantastic music and the original composers too. Kudos to yokko Kano and the Great and legendary virtuoso "Pierre Bensusan "
Same seeing these trailer changed my mind more then I thought it would. The look of the ships and the over all how it looks when comparing live action to anime looks pretty spot on. They really got me with the music and seeing the swordfish 2 scene at the end of the trailer which is a mirror of the scene from the anime episode I believe with creepy pierrot looking dude. Don't forget to thank John Cho he wanted to make it as authentic as possible anime and got Yokko Kano on board for this.
Yeah it seems very well fleshed out for a live action. The director and some others must have been a fan of the series and watched it beforehand. It seems very well put together for a live action Cowboy Bebop
@@c.galindo9639 John Cho seemed really worried about playing Spike because of his being older and wanted to make it as authentic so he got Yokko Kano I'm guessing he might have helped with other parts as well so as to hopefully please all the anime fans who have been really upset the minute it was announced and other drama that happened.
@@joshlovescotch Cowboy Bebop isn't Cowboy Bebop without Ed. To me, that is. It just isn't the same. Ed was a character that balanced out the Bebop Crew's Pessimistic tendencies with Optimism. Jet, Faye, and Spike are people who's pasts weigh them down and are unable to let go of. Meanwhile, Ed brought innocence to the Bebop that none of them had seen in a long time. That's just my opinion and you're free to think whatever you like, but to me it's just not the same without Ed. But I dunno. Maybe the Live Action will surprise us. If not, I'm just gonna stick to rewatching the Anime.
Ed doesn't come in until halfway through the series. That line is a call back to a conversation the three of them had before Ed was there, and until Ed gets there, Ein isn't around much
It doesn’t matter if this sucks or not because nothing will ever take away from the beauty of the original show. Hopefully this will get some new people to go watch the og version as well. Whatever happens, happens
As someone who hasn't seen the OG series, im wanting to watch it, AFTER this. I dont expect it to hold a flame to the original, but am hoping it stands on its own as something thats just... a fun show.
Yeah, you're right. Despite the miscasts and misdesigning the characters and all, the new people would definetly watch the anime one instead. The action scenes in this adaptation are alright but hard to ignore the shitty scenes.
Ed and Ein better show up as well! Looking forward to this, seems like they're trying to do it justice with decent graphics and hopefully good fight sequences.
I'm actually glad Ed is not in this series. They are going the rated R live action route, and I don't think Ed translates well into this adaptation but maybe I am alone in thinking that
@@connorcostigan8204 some or most of Ed's characteristics or quirks work well for the anime, but would seem strange in live action.. and if they do a distant adaptation of the character, some won't like it for sure.. so either way, people will have something to complain about, haha.
ya know, some anime's just need to stay as animes. I grew up watching this show on adult swim with many others like bleach and inuyasha. These shows give me instant nostaglia and great memories of the early 2,000s. Spike is 27 years old yet you picked john cho who is 49..he's to old to be spike and he don't even look nothing close to spike. Don't get me started on Faye, Faye is femme fatale hottie, her outfit is iconic, yes its considered oversexual but that was her signature outfit and they ruined it. as a woman, i absolutely loved faye. As for jet, mustafa he fits the character build but he ain't black..i don't even think spike is asian and if he is they could of picked a 27 year old male asian actor that fit his character way better than john cho. Listen if you're not going to follow the show or get the characters right, don't bother doing it.
Meh, who cares. PC is a thing now, rather than the early 2,000s. No one cares if this will be a good show or not, all you need to do is collect all races in the main characters.
yeah john cho is too short. I've watched the first 10 minutes of episode one and already feel like he wont be able to fill spikes role. I could get past jet being black that doesnt bother me. havent even seen faye or ed and idk if i even want to continue watching the show lol
I disagree. I feel that there is nothing wrong with this show and that it's more akin to an alternate reality version of Cowboy Bebop, not a 1:1 copy. This show had a great vibe, great performances, and different but interesting versions of the CB characters, It had great effects, great ambience. I thought the action choreography needed some tightening up--it's too loose--but otherwise found the renditions of this alternate universe to be riveting. I think we need to let the original Cowboy Bebop out of our heads, and enjoy this for what it is. Let's be honest, if we didn't have Cowboy Bebop from nostalgia this show would have been dynamite. It's simply not fair that the ultra nerd fanbois of the animated show got this show cancelled. It sucks. There is nothing wrong with building a new rendition of this show and now that's gone. Way to facking go, geeks!
@@EricMalette “if we didn’t have Cowboy Bebop from nostalgia..” Then why bother making a show out of the original? They should’ve just created their own IP and call it a day.
I’m sorry what? Ok that’s dedication but also shows that we needed a younger actor as Spike no offense. He’s ok but I’m sorry if that’s true to me it’s proof that they needed a younger actor.
@@zenox5319 I just want to say it isn't awful. It's independent. And the places they take this to has some humor and the same spirit of the show. There's no way they could have done this without CGI so I think they did a good job. I'll be resubscribing to NetFlix to watch it.
@@yasminekadire8389 Yeah but Ed doesn’t really do a whole lot in that episode. She hacks some computers to get Tongpu’s backstory but Spike beats him without that knowledge and then doesn’t want to hear it after the fact. If you move the episode to the pre-Ed portion of the show the only thing that really needs to change is how the audience learns that info.
I don't see why people complain so much about this show. I've watched both the anime and this live action, and I actually loved it deeply. I don't know why people can't seem to separate things and watch them just as they are. I really enjoyed the show. Thank you so much for the work of those involved, you guys rocked
That's how the fanbase of any classic piece is today. I acknowledge that there are a lot of crappy adaptations, but not everything is shitty. However, the whining fanbase will never be satisfied, even if the adaptation is good enough. And if you tell them that this wasn't actually shitty, they will start raging with you that you probably did not understand the original piece. I decided to watch the original series to compare the two, and I honestly can't see why the hate. People are just plain stupid and hopeless. And Netflix will keep on cancelling everything because they can't satisfy these morons.
Spike looks like he's seeking revenge on everyone but doesn't have the confidence to fight anyone because he lied on his job application, overall confused
Seems like Faye is chasing after Ein too, which means she'll probably be showing up earlier than in the original (Ein is already on the Bebop when she first appears)
In original anime, Ein is the first member who joined and then Faye and lastly Ed. Ed's probably gonna appear in Season Finale and too be honest, I'm kinda scared of how Netflix handle her. Probably it could be his or uh.... the "other" if you know what I'm talking about.
I agree I’m a fan of Cowboy Bebop and I’m not sure about this cast. I do like these actors though so we shall see. So as you put it I will watch before judging.
Why did he say I go by spike now? Spike has always been his name and I couldn't really tell but do you think they are going to stick to the fact he has an artificial eye and it's a different color
They didn't try to fix anything. They just gave true fans a nice candy with the essence of the original anime. But mainstream dumb people like you don't understand anything. You people are dumb af, seek help
@@Anudorini-Talah Netflix wanted as much Woke-ness that they could put in. They changed alot about the anime and even if they didn't change source material it still is cancelled if you want to watch vicious yell FEARLESS over and over again( which wasn't in ANIME!!) go ahead LMAO
@UCWtXqQUFhHHMgqgAnOE50gA i haven't seen the show but i can already tell its a horrible take on Cowboy Bebop, dont be a stuck up idiot and realize a horrible show when you see one
Looks fun. Kinda feels like this should have been spin off instead of a live action remake. I'm a fan of the original, so this whole thing isn't that interesting to me, but there is definitely potential.
I do really wish they had done something like how Space Dandy was just a spinoff set in the same scifi future. Same tone, get Yoko Kanno, but tell a new story about other bounty hunters or something.
To be fair, Ed didnt appears in the series before episode 9 if i remember, so considering this season only have 10 episodes, its save to say that they are keeping Ed for season (heck the opening already have a open space for when she will join)
I think it might be there. I'm not a huge fan of this yet, but Spike mentioned being in a dream while in love, which seems like something he said in the anime.
I think the actor playing Jet fits the part. But I can't say the same about the actors playing Faye and Spike, they don't give me the same vibe as the characters.
Especially because Jet refers to them as a team. I bet in this adaptation he will convince Spike to save Faye from Vicious, rather than Spike doing it because he still wants to find out if this is all just a dream. And him pointing his gun at Faye in multiple scenes with Jet interfering is not really the type of relationship I'd hope for between them. I know that I have to try and see it as a stand-alone without any relation to the original series. Faye piloting the Swrodfish II for example. It can still be good, at least I hope so.
The more I see this Faye, the more sense it makes. We're never gonna see her moody/depressed/disconnected personailty in the trailers. She was bubbly to mask how out of place she was. Spike, on the other hand, is never going to translate into live action unless you can convince people to actually care about deadpan characters, which they generally don't unless Keanu Reeves is playing them. I think he'll be fine. It's the writing we need to worry about.

I'm hoping to god, praying to Kami and wishing to The eternal dragon Shenron on the Dragon balls that this turns out great, and the trailer so far is promising with the fight choreography and the way the actors say their lines are just like the anime. This is hopefully going to turn out okay, with an interesting story of course( maybe)
Or just ok
@@slimeburger7644 did u watch the anime dubbed mate or what are you talking about? the characterization is completely different from the anime so they are going for a new thing rather than a recreation
"Im not fully on board with this but remain cautiously optimistic" seems to be the concensus here
looked more self aware and maybe funnier, but it also felt like it lacked the intricate dynamic between the characters from the original :/
Seems to be the most rational approach. They clearly seem to be respecting the source material. The music in the trailer is still as amazing as ever. Even if it's not 100% the OG story, if it has the same tone and musical style? I'm likely down for it.
Honestly theres no way they could ever match the original, just on an aesthetic level alone. I'm fairly optimistic that this will be a labour of love to the show and it'll probably be quite a good show in its own right, but I'm not expecting it to be even close to perfect
Then it’s an absurd consensus. Looks great and Bebop fans are excited.
Listen. There are few IP's that I will be hopelessly hopeful about. This apparently is one. Tbh, I don't think they will have the hardcore fans on board. But I'm in. I'll enjoy it as much as the Inuyasha live actions. Especially if they have that music in there.
Remakes like this just gives you a deeper sense of appreciation of the original. Especially when the remake is made over 20 years later.

I am pretty positive Ed will have one of the smallest role in the live action movie even though Ed brought that life moment of, 'Oh right, everyone moves on'. I hope the movie proves me wrong.
@@Varuga *series not movie, but hopefully we’ll get a lot of Ed :,D
To be honest with you I'm kind of terrified of what they're going to do with Ed lol I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to make it a big trans thing lol and I personally don't think that's what Ed's message is
Seeing how is how mushroom samba is literally an Ed and Ein episode, and I think I saw the afro guy that carries the casket in this trailer, I think we'll be okay. Glad to see the Mad Pierrot though!
@@HappyTheOrdinaryCat me too. I'm scared they're going to radicalize Edward too much..😏 Literally and as a joke. She's not trans! She's just a young girl that looks like a boy. Believe me you're not alone and you are completely justified in your fears.
I'm just relieved that Ms. Daniella Pineda no longer has to worry about the nightmarish possibility of an unrealistic costume riding up anywhere!
Gonna say it here: Edward is gonna show up at the end as a cliffhanger for the next season.
It’s probably gonna crash so hard there won’t be a next season
Well considering that there are only 26 original episodes my guess is there will be the equivalent of two anime episodes put into each live action episode so Edward will probably show up halfway If at all I know ein is going to show up but haven't seen any mentioning of Edward
@@Wafflethyme funny, i have the feeling this won't crash as hard as people want it to be
@@DarkAnon100 I have a feeling people hope it doesn't crash, but directors have this funny habit of not knowing anything about the anime universe they're remaking into a live action film, and then it's something to make fun of for decades to come. What DBZ movie?

@@vikingghost117 I mean it’s being directed by the same guy who made the Witcher and daredevil so I’m very optimistic about that
The actor playing Jet nailed the voice. Also they're showing way more of the ships and world than I was expecting. I thought they'd cheap out on that. Pleasantly surprised.
Everyone seems so miscast here except him. He looks more Jet than the original Jet. With the rest of the cast, I just hope this is kind of a Geralt situation with Henry Cavill where some thought he was miscast but it went on to be pretty good.

Small price
Need to give this a fair go. You can see it clearly has the spirit but lets see if they’ve learnt anything from netflix’s DeathNote
Bruh it looks miles beyond Deathnote the characters look somewhat accurate. Settings look great as well.
Honestly the DeathNote movie wasn't that bad. People just couldn't look past that it was a different retelling rather than a fourth version of the same damn thing.

It's not his age, but his acting ability. I could see somebody with the skill of Lee Jung-jae pulling off Spike much more easily, despite being the same age. Harold just isn't a very good actor, and it shows.
@@gilbertgotfried well as a korean, he’s too old for us either.

Exactly.
Thank you for putting words to my feelings exactly
mediocre series will be fine. CGI is real immersion breaker, it feels so... 90's
Of course it won’t stop writing dumb comments!
In retrospect:
Big thank you to the VFX crew, you guys really nailed the grimy "show don't tell" atmosphere the original show.
The wear & tear alongside the dirty sets clash with the clean cosplay looking costumes & goofy writing but that means you did everything right.
Glad to see there was some passion put into it
"Whatever happens...happens."
They've made it painfully clear that they're aware of the stakes, and that they've already filmed this, and it's coming out for better or worse. Absolutely genius to throw that in the trailer.

Hoping this leans more into the goofiness and fun aspects of Bebop. I don't think you could make a serious and moody adaptation in live action without losing the charm of its animation. Embrace the camp, and make it fun!
John Cho is so naturally funny I think it’s gonna turn out great
Wtf, wasn't the trailer all about the goof? Here I was hoping they saved at least some of the moodiness, though I agree with you that it should definitely not be a melodramatic-reboot-from-2008 kinda thing :D
I hope it’s fun but I specifically hope the keep the actual silliness of the original instead of trying to go for that detached winking meta humor that’s so common these days. I like detached meta humor but I loved how sincerely goofy bebop can get without trying to justify itself. Idk if I’m making sense
Given the color scheme and how they set up the trailer, it definitely looks like it’s gonna lean into the camp
From what I've seen i think you're correct. If you want a more serious take you can't have your cast look like they're cosplaying the cast of bebop. Marvel understood this. Which is why you never see mcu characters wearing outfits that identical to their comic book counter parts.
I’m choosing to view this show as completely separate from the source material. I think that’s the only way that anyone could enjoy it. It looks pretty good!

@@irishemperor huh? She gave off a semi erotic vibe akin to the original I wouldn't worry too much
I like that they seems to be going for a more “anime color palette”instead of the extra dark gritty adaptions we’ve gotten before. It looks fun. And the costumes look true to what the characters wear in the anime, not just “realistic” adaptions of it. I like that they seem to be leaning into the ridiculousness of the original and that they’re keeping the banging soundtrack!
You could have a frame for frame remake of the original with exact reproductions of the anime costumes.... and it still wouldn't be Bebop if you didn't have the soundtrack.
The races aren't true to the characters. Netflix is being woke again
@@thetruthroomwherenothingis4979 Seriously? You DO know that adaptations change character ethnicity existed for ages, even in Japan they changes character ethnicities to asian when they adapt outside material. It takes a very fragile white male to be offended by that (source: a white male)
@@thetruthroomwherenothingis4979 what character in Cowboy Bebop has a foundation built on their race?? None of the characters of the main cast have anything in their story that requires they be White, black, Japanese, or any other race for that matter.

As I write to you in my mind I go through episodes and music ( happy owner of the incredible soundtrack, sweet limited vinyl 😁 ) and it's like I'm doing a mental rewatch, an anime that's not just an anime, it's something sublime to which I periodically return and enjoy every time as if it were the first.
If you can place it first of the to watch list, or even better, put the first episode on asap ;)

Unless it does the opposite and pushes would be fans away by how bad this is
Nothing will beat the original anime, nothing can capture that entirety of that work of art. However, thie looks and feels like it might be something really interesting. I cant wait.
This is the best take on it; the project looks cool enough so far that I'm willing to judge it by its own groove and approach it like a new cover of one of my favorite songs, played in a completely different genre.
@@jasonmeador2597 no way...
I don't think there are any adaption that dare to claim that they are gonna beat the original. And i'm sure that is not their intention either.
It certainly seems like they're trying to be faithful to a degree, but ultimately, it's very difficult to convert a cult classic animation like BeBop into a good live-action adaptation without losing things in the process. I might give it a chance just to see how they've done, but I won't get my hopes up too high.

Everything was great. The whole show was great. There are just too many toxic self-centered people who love to hate on others. 11/10 I don't care what people say.
Literally it's so sad they cancelled it. I love the anime and the live action was excellent. It bothers me so much that people are nit picking this so horribly. The cinematography is the best I've ever seen in a live action remake. It's vfx and sfx are crazy good, even if you don't like the changes from the anime you have to just appreciate the cinematography. We need a petition to keep this going.
It was so bad Japanese creators now refuse to let Hollywood adapt their shows saying "We will not be like Cowboy Bebop"
Yeah I get that completely but I watched it with a group of people who had no idea what cowboy bebop was, and they all were super into it so that's gotta be a good sign.
@@vincentbrown3093 No not really. It just means you introduced them to the series using stuff the original creator hated so they may not enjoy the source material as intended.
Or they'll see the source material and realize the best parts of the adaptation was just lifted from the original. Either way, they've been set up for disappointment.
I've seen both and honestly I'm not disappointed. The creator will be fine he got money either way. I respect the opinions of those who found distaste instead of a sense of adventure from the conversion. Still you can't deny it was visually stunning and the camera work on point
Just watched the trailer in Japanese version and realized they dubbed it with the original voice actors! I normally watch movies with subtitles but I have to say hearing the original Spike Spiegel’s voice (by Koichi Yamadera) made the trailer so much better.
That's a strange way to spell Steve Blum.
They should dub it again in english lol. The only one that sounds good is Jet
Where did you see it?
this is a rare occurrence where the English dub was a million times better
Still traah
I hope this doesn't suck. The teaser trailer gave me bad vibes, but this trailer actually gives me positive goosebumps. At the very least, it will draw new fans to the original. Whatever happens... happens.
Agreed, the teaser was a mess but this looks much more promising!
I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to not compare it too much to the original. They're both made for completely different mediums, made by completely different people.
it will suck
You saw the trailer, do you really need to watch an episode to know it sucks?
the teaser was tongue-in-cheek. I think it was well done. This trailer makes it look more true to the anime
This actually looks pretty good. I hope the samurai champloo live action tv show turns out good as well.
Wait what are they doing with samurai champloo?
WHAT.
haha they'll never do a live American version. maybe Japan might try
No!! 😭
What's next Berserk?!?
Please tell me they aint gonna try to do Champloo....please....That masterpiece needs to be preserved and untouched
I can’t watch this. The original Cowboy Bebop is a masterwork of art. It doesn’t need anything added to it. It doesn’t need anything taken away. And it doesn’t need a remake or live action extension. Sorry Netflix. 🙏🏻
Good thing is doesn't get a second season, feel sorry for the actors tho
When I saw the new trailer I said "I HAVE to see Mad Pierrot and I HAVE to see Radical Edward" Just to see if they could do it
I hope Edward is in it, didn't notice her in the trailer but seen everyone else.
Should be at least decent and full of nostalgia
by the end I was literally like "....but where's Ed?"

I really hope he's with the characters plus the slow pace combat style is something to worry about
Alot of things you have to keep in mind. This season is only going to cover the first few episodes (i would say 5 or 6) of the anime and Edward doesnt show until ep 9 of the anime I take it there probably going to tease her at the end of the season.
This definitely isn't the anime, but it's also clearly trying to have its own identity. The campy ~B-movie aesthetic is an interesting choice. Let's see if they can pull it off.
Yes, it's not the anime because it's not a frigging anime, silly human!
LMAO dumbest comment of the night right here 🤣
One of the original creators is involved so I trust him.
I'm glad it's not trying to be the anime. When live adaptations try to be the animes they are the absolute worst. I think they are smart by having nods to the style but not trying to complete replicate it.
The B grade aesthetic will arguably work in its favor, as the anime actually went for the same look. The anime IS basically Lupin the 3rd in space after all.
The first time I learned about being "cautiously optimistic" was the remake of Avatar the Last Airbender 2010. Now after Bebop, Samurai Champloo is next. God when will the anxiety end.
Never. You'll either grow old enough to watch your beloved franchises being reinterpreted in an "okay, I guess" way or go down in flames. There is no middle ground. :(
@@pickle7056 No middle ground between mediocre and bad? So you''re saying there will never be something "slightly bad"?
That was over 10 years ago, back when decent movies on comics weren't really a thing, let alone movies based on cartoon/anime... (edit: we had Batman back then as an example but it's not the same and nowadays this genre is really thriving, I'm not a fan but Disney does a great job).
This show will try to follow the original and the characterization looks really good. It's also a TV show, so no need to rush anything either.
I really don't think this will disappoint. If anything, it will be one of those "yeah, it's a great show and it does justice but I'm just too used to the original anime I've been watching for decades".
Anyway, if it's bad, at least you still have the original. But this really looks like our last hope. I can't see any live action being better than this one.
Samurai Champloo? Live action adaptation? Oh my...
@@gwafashofa I have high hopes for that one tho since the producers are the same as the one's who did the movie NOBODY 2021
I love how they all look like the characters except for spike lol
The trailers and promotional work has been really interesting. I'm going to watch this and make believe the anime doesn't exist. I'll probably enjoy it more that way.
i recommend you watch the anime
trust me every single thing that you maybe dont like about anime is not in there
it is great in every single way and its only one season
That is the proper attitude for watching any adaption. Judge something for what it is, not for what it is not.
Watch the anime and forget this dung exists.
@@Carabas72 fair point
@@Carabas72 All stories are retold. All stories adapted. You can't expect the same, just different but also good; hopefully.
This has a clearly large amount of effort put into it so I'm hoping it delivers. But man, sometimes it's hard to be positive when touching a product like this.
Especially when there has been 0 "amazing" live action adaptations of anime lol
They are making a big deal out of it so I guess they are more confident about this one, only time will tell, _whatever happens... happens_
Same sentiments. I don't want to be too optimistic nor too negative on this. I want to make sure I'll enjoy the series since its just a 10 episode series.
Looks terrible 😂😂
Least they’re clearly trying. Better to try and fail as they say. If nothing else we could get a fun show that while it misses the mark is still a good ride.
However the series turns out, the music was , is ,and will remain legendary
yes that totally justifies the existence of a terrible adaptation!
@@MrFitzonic it doesn't, but that doesn't change the fact that the music is legendary
@@MrFitzonic I am still not sure If I will watch the series. I may just rewatch the anime, and enjoy the brilliancy of it with the legendary music in it.
In my opinion, this cast was great, the action was great, but the story was changed in places where it didn't need to be. Again, John Cho did a really good job, and Mustafa Shakir REALLY WAS Jet to the core, but what was around them was just... eh. I wish it had a second season that took the criticism and fixed things a little, but I give it a B- for being faithful for what they were.
just what kinda taste u got bud ?
Cho is really trying to do the American voice over actor's cadence. Good call.
YES! That is exactly what I thought, he sounds good. Not taking himself too seriously either. I love it
Steve Blum!
Whatever happens happens
But he is not doing spike... That's a shame
I will be trying out the Japanese dub. They're the original cast.
Let's hope for the best
*nervous laughter * ...yeah.
but lets keep are expectations low. just in case.
"Whatever happens, happens."
- The casting team after their picks.
Now that is some awful casting. Jet Black should have been Terry Crews but it’s acceptable. The milf guy as Spike though? Looks horrible and sounds horrible. Why couldn’t they get a young (not middle aged) actress to play Faye? Ever see John Krasinski with Spike Spiegel hair and his hands in his pockets? It was alluded to in the show that Spike may be Jewish, so a white guy could play him. Perfect voice, look, and build- unless you’re hung up on race (which says more about you than anyone else).
That's the Only thing That we Can do... these days
The insanely slow pace of the fight scenes they've showed worries me.
While that's one thing that makes me more optimistic. Especially if they go slow on the music during the fights.
@@njux1871 why would you want slow fight scenes?
@@corylim7351 If they're well paced and the actors sell it, a slower fight scene is far more interesting and tense than a super fast one. Not sure if this show can pull that off though.
Same thing I said. It's looking like child's play.
@@amiccus_ the thing is they don't look well paced they look slow. Now maybe they haven't had their final edit so I'm going to give it a fair shake but I hope they aren't as slow as they currently look.

@@sebo1799 it’s all good 👍😁
Same. We just found it, literally, and are loving it and then discovered it hasn't been renewed.
My love is so deep for the original that honestly any recreation that has actual effort makes me happy. It might not be amazing, but you can tell they worked hard to keep it close to the original with the characters, soundtrack, action, humor and everything. Effort was put into it and you can tell it was made with the original fans in mind, and because of that I’ll love it even if it’s bad :,)
thats called being a fanboy/girl. not having an authentic opinion to the work itself.
@@AcceleratorUlz Any opinion is authentic.
@@AcceleratorUlz I mean they didnt say that they would love it unconditionally, just that they already appreciate the amount of work going into this production is enough for them to acknowledge the hard work being done.
@@AcceleratorUlz edgy
I feel that you will be extremely disappointed and quickly wanting to go watch the original
I like how they went for more realistic vision of what the actors can bring and do in the right contrast of the anime. And I'm so glad that they kept the fantastic music and the original composers too. Kudos to yokko Kano and the Great and legendary virtuoso "Pierre Bensusan "
Same seeing these trailer changed my mind more then I thought it would. The look of the ships and the over all how it looks when comparing live action to anime looks pretty spot on. They really got me with the music and seeing the swordfish 2 scene at the end of the trailer which is a mirror of the scene from the anime episode I believe with creepy pierrot looking dude. Don't forget to thank John Cho he wanted to make it as authentic as possible anime and got Yokko Kano on board for this.
Yeah it seems very well fleshed out for a live action. The director and some others must have been a fan of the series and watched it beforehand. It seems very well put together for a live action Cowboy Bebop
@@c.galindo9639 John Cho seemed really worried about playing Spike because of his being older and wanted to make it as authentic so he got Yokko Kano I'm guessing he might have helped with other parts as well so as to hopefully please all the anime fans who have been really upset the minute it was announced and other drama that happened.
@@KazukoLight yeah but it looks great for a first live action attempt
Looks great except for the casting. That's no Spike Spiegel
Just noticed they included the “Pippu” imitation Pepsi brand from the anime. Love that
I’m more of a “Cocoa” guy.
No trailer has ever lied to people harder than this one did. lol
"We're a team. The three of us."
*FIVE!!!*
There's *FIVE* of them!!!! Ed and Ein?!??!
@@joshlovescotch Cowboy Bebop isn't Cowboy Bebop without Ed. To me, that is. It just isn't the same. Ed was a character that balanced out the Bebop Crew's Pessimistic tendencies with Optimism. Jet, Faye, and Spike are people who's pasts weigh them down and are unable to let go of. Meanwhile, Ed brought innocence to the Bebop that none of them had seen in a long time. That's just my opinion and you're free to think whatever you like, but to me it's just not the same without Ed. But I dunno. Maybe the Live Action will surprise us. If not, I'm just gonna stick to rewatching the Anime.
Ed doesn't come in until halfway through the series. That line is a call back to a conversation the three of them had before Ed was there, and until Ed gets there, Ein isn't around much
@@allenriggs1110 Didn't Ein debut in the 2nd episode?
@@louisduarte8763 Correct, but Ein doesn't have as much screen time until Ed comes in.
@@joshlovescotch Ed's a boy
It doesn’t matter if this sucks or not because nothing will ever take away from the beauty of the original show. Hopefully this will get some new people to go watch the og version as well. Whatever happens, happens
Truth
I'll bite with this comment. Nothing will ever be the same again and yet.. new appreciation will come of it. Interesting.
Sorry, not me. Not interesting enough at all.
As someone who hasn't seen the OG series, im wanting to watch it, AFTER this.
I dont expect it to hold a flame to the original, but am hoping it stands on its own as something thats just... a fun show.
Yeah, you're right.
Despite the miscasts and misdesigning the characters and all, the new people would definetly watch the anime one instead.
The action scenes in this adaptation are alright but hard to ignore the shitty scenes.
Ed and Ein better show up as well! Looking forward to this, seems like they're trying to do it justice with decent graphics and hopefully good fight sequences.
They better show up
Jet was holding ein in a shot in the trailer. Don't know about ed tho
I'm actually glad Ed is not in this series. They are going the rated R live action route, and I don't think Ed translates well into this adaptation but maybe I am alone in thinking that
@@connorcostigan8204 I see what you mean but it would have been nice to have all the characters in it yk
@@connorcostigan8204 some or most of Ed's characteristics or quirks work well for the anime, but would seem strange in live action.. and if they do a distant adaptation of the character, some won't like it for sure.. so either way, people will have something to complain about, haha.
ya know, some anime's just need to stay as animes. I grew up watching this show on adult swim with many others like bleach and inuyasha. These shows give me instant nostaglia and great memories of the early 2,000s. Spike is 27 years old yet you picked john cho who is 49..he's to old to be spike and he don't even look nothing close to spike. Don't get me started on Faye, Faye is femme fatale hottie, her outfit is iconic, yes its considered oversexual but that was her signature outfit and they ruined it. as a woman, i absolutely loved faye. As for jet, mustafa he fits the character build but he ain't black..i don't even think spike is asian and if he is they could of picked a 27 year old male asian actor that fit his character way better than john cho. Listen if you're not going to follow the show or get the characters right, don't bother doing it.
Meh, who cares. PC is a thing now, rather than the early 2,000s. No one cares if this will be a good show or not, all you need to do is collect all races in the main characters.
yeah john cho is too short. I've watched the first 10 minutes of episode one and already feel like he wont be able to fill spikes role. I could get past jet being black that doesnt bother me. havent even seen faye or ed and idk if i even want to continue watching the show lol
I still liked the character selection for some reason even tho it wasn’t accurate
I disagree. I feel that there is nothing wrong with this show and that it's more akin to an alternate reality version of Cowboy Bebop, not a 1:1 copy. This show had a great vibe, great performances, and different but interesting versions of the CB characters, It had great effects, great ambience. I thought the action choreography needed some tightening up--it's too loose--but otherwise found the renditions of this alternate universe to be riveting. I think we need to let the original Cowboy Bebop out of our heads, and enjoy this for what it is. Let's be honest, if we didn't have Cowboy Bebop from nostalgia this show would have been dynamite.
It's simply not fair that the ultra nerd fanbois of the animated show got this show cancelled. It sucks. There is nothing wrong with building a new rendition of this show and now that's gone. Way to facking go, geeks!
@@EricMalette “if we didn’t have Cowboy Bebop from nostalgia..”
Then why bother making a show out of the original? They should’ve just created their own IP and call it a day.
Kudos to John Cho. he literally broke his leg just to portray Spike's Athletism. Well deserved for the role.
I’m sorry what? Ok that’s dedication but also shows that we needed a younger actor as Spike no offense. He’s ok but I’m sorry if that’s true to me it’s proof that they needed a younger actor.
@@bendu8282 Spike is also not asian but whatever...Netflix version...

@@zenox5319 I just want to say it isn't awful. It's independent. And the places they take this to has some humor and the same spirit of the show. There's no way they could have done this without CGI so I think they did a good job. I'll be resubscribing to NetFlix to watch it.

@@LagoonofMystery yeah but Pierrot isn't supposed to show up for a very long time but here he is at 1:35
@@yasminekadire8389 Yeah but Ed doesn’t really do a whole lot in that episode. She hacks some computers to get Tongpu’s backstory but Spike beats him without that knowledge and then doesn’t want to hear it after the fact.

@@LagoonofMystery Maybe there planning her for a next season
I don't see why people complain so much about this show. I've watched both the anime and this live action, and I actually loved it deeply. I don't know why people can't seem to separate things and watch them just as they are. I really enjoyed the show. Thank you so much for the work of those involved, you guys rocked
You probably didn’t get the theme for the anime
@@josephjoestar4633 No, I did. And I hold my opinion
It was really good better than expected for sure.
That's how the fanbase of any classic piece is today. I acknowledge that there are a lot of crappy adaptations, but not everything is shitty. However, the whining fanbase will never be satisfied, even if the adaptation is good enough. And if you tell them that this wasn't actually shitty, they will start raging with you that you probably did not understand the original piece. I decided to watch the original series to compare the two, and I honestly can't see why the hate. People are just plain stupid and hopeless. And Netflix will keep on cancelling everything because they can't satisfy these morons.
Average twitter user
I don’t think it’ll be awful or great, just a fun ride.

Yeah, like a comedic sort of spin-off.
That's all we can do now. Just have a fun time. That's good enough for me

Amazing.
Seems like Faye is chasing after Ein too, which means she'll probably be showing up earlier than in the original (Ein is already on the Bebop when she first appears)
She's in the session #1 script from 2018, so unless it's been changed since then, she'll be in the 1st session.
do you mean ed?
@@MyoticTesseract Ein the corgi
i think spike figth abdul, maybe they star like faye was a bounty they encounter nowadays

The music slaps and the ship looks amazing. Everything else.... has me pretty worried, but I'll reserve judgement until I see the final product....

Looks fun. Kinda feels like this should have been spin off instead of a live action remake. I'm a fan of the original, so this whole thing isn't that interesting to me, but there is definitely potential.
Let's hope it is good, so we will enjoy that feeling again.
A spin off would've been wiser. If this isn't an absolute masterpiece the backlash will be terrible.
I agree. No creativity at all.
I do really wish they had done something like how Space Dandy was just a spinoff set in the same scifi future. Same tone, get Yoko Kanno, but tell a new story about other bounty hunters or something.

To be fair, Ed didnt appears in the series before episode 9 if i remember, so considering this season only have 10 episodes, its save to say that they are keeping Ed for season (heck the opening already have a open space for when she will join)
They promised that Ed fans will be very happy but Ed doesn't show up till later in the show (EP 9) so Ed is being saved as a surprise most likely.

I'm not a huge fan of this yet, but Spike mentioned being in a dream while in love, which seems like something he said in the anime.
Trailers are always about the action
dont get your hopes up..
They definitely have
@@ryansmith4494 He did say it, but it was peppered in nicely with the Julia and Vicious stuff.
I think the actor playing Jet fits the part. But I can't say the same about the actors playing Faye and Spike, they don't give me the same vibe as the characters.
Yeah spike seems to have a different personality and Faye is just off
Especially because Jet refers to them as a team.
I bet in this adaptation he will convince Spike to save Faye from Vicious, rather than Spike doing it because he still wants to find out if this is all just a dream.
And him pointing his gun at Faye in multiple scenes with Jet interfering is not really the type of relationship I'd hope for between them.
I know that I have to try and see it as a stand-alone without any relation to the original series. Faye piloting the Swrodfish II for example.
It can still be good, at least I hope so.
@@brainonair7401 exactly, spike pointing a gun at Faye makes no sense for his or her character, but it still has some potential to be good
The more I see this Faye, the more sense it makes. We're never gonna see her moody/depressed/disconnected personailty in the trailers. She was bubbly to mask how out of place she was. Spike, on the other hand, is never going to translate into live action unless you can convince people to actually care about deadpan characters, which they generally don't unless Keanu Reeves is playing them. I think he'll be fine.
It's the writing we need to worry about.
Yea I was thinking maybe Timothee Chalamet as Spike and maybe a good Singapore actress for Faye or Alexandra daddario or a great unknown maybe.
