Roy Focker Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 I like how they're keeping the look and tone. Sure there's going to be some changes but this feels like the show. Quote
Old_Nash Posted October 19, 2021 Posted October 19, 2021 OHMYGREATLUNA!!! 0:28 Spike hitting Belchior XD Quote
kajnrig Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 They've done a great job casting this so far, and an especially great job casting Mustafa Shakir as Jet. It's actually kind of eerie how well he's taken on the role. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) This is much better. I prefer the original Spike voice. Edited October 21, 2021 by Hikaru Ichijo SL Quote
Corrinald Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 So far it looks better than I anticipated and I am excited to watch it. Nothing can ever compare with the original anime, but it looks like they have put a lot of passion into it. Quote

505thAirborne Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I am so looking forward to this, loving John Cho as Spike! Quote
kajnrig Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Please be good. ...was going to be all I wrote, and then I couldn't help but laugh at how weirdly trepidatious I'm feeling about this show. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 I mean, they got at least some of the look down, and hopefully they hung onto as much of the soundtrack as possible. I've had essentially zero expectations about any of this since I first heard of it, so I think it would actually be really difficult for it not to be better than I expected. Quote
azrael Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Please tell me they will not be using many slow-motion on all the action shots? The speed of some of those fights feels like they could pick up the pace a little. Quote
Bolt Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Well.. so far it's looking awesome. And I'm sure there will be some sticking points. But one can certainly argue.. they have a clue.. And that's pretty good !!! Quote
sqidd Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 I just started watching the anime. Love it! Quote

Knight26 Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 THEY GOT THE VISUAL STYLE AND MECHANICAL DESIGN RIGHT!!!! Quote
Ryoma Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 I knew this was going to be bad, i couldn't immagine it was going to be so awful. R.I.P Cowboy bebop, hopefully this will be the last time they try to resurrect you. Quote

The JP trailer has a certain vibe when they speak in japanese.... Quote

There's no need to watch it. Just looking at these trailers make me wanna gouge my eyes out. Very disrepctful toward the original material. They tried to copy it but at the same time they changed everything. Quote

And that's your opinion, but it seems like a pretty respectful adaptation at this point, keeping the varying tone of the show and filling in gaps between the established stories, maybe retelling some of the existing. Is it a full remake/reimagining? Maybe, we will see. It looks great to me, but I am reserving final judgement until it releases and I can watch actual episodes. Quote
Keith Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Still think Keanu Reeves should have been Vicious, but I don't see what the worry is about. Hell, we're getting a live action Swordfish! Quote
jenius Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 It'll be interesting to see how the show is without the theme song invoking heavy nostalgia every second along the way. Cowboy Bebop had such a cool universe to operate within though so I'm hopeful. Curious if there will be something live action brings to it or if it feels like moving away from animation only hurts it. Quote
Big s Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 I actually like what I’m seeing so far. I didn’t want them to just completely copy the anime, so this seems like a lot of stuff from the show but with some differences here and there. If it ends up too close to the anime, then may as well watch the anime. I’m very hopeful for this one Quote

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 I'll admit the trailer looks promising. However, considering Netflix and their track record I am hoping for a good outcome, but expecting He-Man. As I said earlier I will wait and see what the overall consensus is before I dip my foot in the water. Quote

sqidd Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 Why would one want a live action adaptation to be a copy of the anime? Just watch the anime again if that is exactly what you want. I go into every adaptation knowing that it won't be the same as what it was adapted from. I go in expecting to enjoy it for reasons other than what I enjoyed what it was adapted from. The Expanse is a good example. The TV series is maybe a 7 out of 10 when it comes to being faithful to the books. I enjoyed the books. I enjoy the TV series. Both have their pluses. Both have their minuses. If I were one to get triggered by unfaithfull adaptations.....................................I wouldn't watch them. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 I will give it a whirl in Japanese. I liked the original Spike voice actor. Quote
