How do you follow up that epic editing job with this weak ass trailer?!?
Wtf. It feels like series of unfortunate events visually. It worked in that series. For me personally it doesn't feel like it fits here. Dutch angle galore though. Was nice in first reveal shot. Everywhere else it felt overused. Am dissapoint. Gonna watch it to see if there is clever editing like in that preview. But if it's a one of it'll be a waste of 8 hours Sad

I'm hearing otherwise from anti-sjw sources saying style over substance etc etc etc
Saying how much of a waste this show is.

If style is good, doesn't matter to me.
I'm still very much excited.

Same here, I can watch the show drunk with a friend and laugh at it, then rewatch the anime again for the 10th time.

So, only seen 1 ep so far, really weird. Some parts looks really good, (space,bebop, animation) other looks cheap as hell, mainly the on planetstuff and action. Also the fluidity of actions scenes seems off, maybe because theyre trying to copy the anime feel?

Also really weird to mainly stick to the plot from ep 1 in the anime, then change the ending to a much less impactfull one.

Overall, not impressed so far.

First 10 minutes felt like a YouTube short.

Edit.
To steal from wheel of Time thread; if I hadn't watched the anime I may enjoy it more. It makes bold choices visually, breaking a few rules to match the style of the anime. Some shots are just beautiful to look at. Cringe acting and story telling. Some acting works.

I do like spike and jet.
Do not like faye yet lacks strength.

As visual choices the worst offenders are so interesting they work.
Hard to yay or nay it.

Feels cheap, but it tries so hard and genuinely it's so weird. It's like being stuck in a bathroom smelling your own shit.

Well…


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Still, Cowboy Bebop live action...

What's the point? Most anime are simply not live action material.

Remove the anime style shots and editing, keep it simple and it can definitely work. This for some reason works for me simply because of the obscurity it's like these shots shouldn't work. They characters shouldn't work (some don't obviously). But it all fits in an odd way. They tried to remain faithful without straying too far and you can see they actually cared. So it's really really really hard to hate it. It's just postal by Uwe Boll. You know it's shit, but you can tell thats the only movie he had fun making.

Netflix is trying it with a lot of animes and cartoons as they just announced the cast for their live action One Piece series and have been rounding out the cast for their Avatar The Last Airbender series.

If they put this much effort into avatar or one piece it'll be very good.
Regardless of changes and shit. 4th episode in. Still no fancy editing that lured me into this, but am enjoying it like left over cheap Chinese food during a hangover.

Never watched the anime or the movie and for some reason decided to watch al 10 episodes of this.
It was ok in my book since I got no connection to the series and nothing to compare it to.

I think the better episodes were the ones where they try to catch bounties, but then when it gets to Spikes history, it turns in to a mafia flick that feels underwhelming.

If they do make a season 2, then I could bet my balls that Edward will be the most annoying character the show can muster. A character like that could work in an anime since they usually are over the top, but in live action....eeeeeeh.

Watched 4 eps so far and had absolute lowest expectations possible, expecting worst show of all time, and hence its dumb fun and watchable imo.
Its far, far away from the quality of the anime, which is one of my fav shows of all time, and thats why I went into this imagining it as something completely separate and just barely inspired by the anime.

Didn't mind gren the first time they showed up.
Worked for what the show is.

The show works if you didnt watch the anime or didn't like the anime or never heard of the anime. It lacks the style of the anime. It lacks a proper execution of the style they're doing for. They hired the wrong person to execute it. The only way cowboy Bebop could work that would make the fans happy would be to scrap the project and get someone like Whedon (blurgh) to do it. Or the wachowskis sisters, or el ray Rodriguez or someone with experience with green screen filming. Absolutely not Zack daddy Snyder. Reuse the sets, and cast and crew but have someone competent bossing people around. This here is a love letter but written by a dyslexic buffoon.

The only live action adaptation of an anime that I liked was Gantz: O. I've checked out a bunch of them and the other ones were just

Just my opinion though.

I last watched Cowboy BeBop 15 years ago so don't remember it that good but I watched first episode of Netflix adaptation and while I wasn't cringing all the way everything was goofy as fuck.

On the positive side I want to rewatch the anime now.

And finished.
5.5/10 show that tries to be an 8/10

Faye
Julia
Vicious
Ana
Ed
Chalmers


Are miscast and terrible at their job and should retire

Spike and jet are only good things here.
Some villains are nice
Some side characters are nice

It lacks the jazz vibe. Putting in jazz music without the flow what were they thinking?
After 6th episode it is all a blur regardless how much I wanted to pay attention.

If they fix up the crew and production 2nd season might be decent.
If it goes on like this, it'll go down to a 4.5/10
Regardless how hard they showed their love, they couldn't execute it.
Would have been better as a Japanese show, not like a Japanese show.

So far 5 episodes in and I sort of like it. I haven't watched the anime.
It does have some nice moments but it does seem to have too many takes cluttered into scenes every now and then. Also, the dog does better acting (save for the badly cut movements) than some actors.

And it is cancelled.

I just watched it a couple days ago and it was not the worst thing Netflix has made but trying to emulate each episode probably was a bad choice as it just reminded everyone how good the anime is. They should have just done something like Knocking on Heaven's Door where it was a side story movie with a new original story.

Now we wait 10 years for another studio to do a live action.
They should have continued it. Maybe as a whole it would work Laughing
