Live-action Cowboy Bebop series picked up by Netflix - 10 episode order

[TheGodling]

Netflix has given a 10-episode series order to Cowboy Bebop, a live-action adaptation of the cult Japanese animated series. The Space western hails from Tomorrow Studios, Marty Adelstein’s joint venture with ITV Studios, which last year teamed on the project with Midnight Radio (Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, Jeff Pinkner & Scott Rosenberg), writer Chris Yost (Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok) as well as Sunrise, the studio behind the original series.

Written/executive produced by Yost based on the worldwide phenomenon, Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world…for the right price.

Thoughts?

Who asked for this? Who wanted this? Unless the budget and quality is Altered Carbon levels, who sanctioned this!! FMA, Bebop and Trigun are my classic old school masterpieces. Leave them alone.

 

[FooFighters]

It's already doomed

I look forward to this: It's happening whether ya'll like it or not. The anime is the anime, and the limited series is the limited series so no matter what happens it's not like the anime is put away. Although from a creative point of view it's somewhat nonsense, because the original has no glaring weaknesses: It can't be improved.

But they have to take their time with this.

Although considering what they did with death note, a more popular franchise, that's not likely unless lessons were learned.

And if it's bad, take it out back and

Just stream the damn OG series. It's a perfect anime for Netflix.

At best it will be a faithful adaption, which is still pointless. Will they use Yoko Kanno's score?

Whites always tryna cannibalize the culture for profit

This. When will these guys realise live action is the complete anti-thesis of what makes anime great Apart from the Bleach Live action movie which was every single other one has been complete

Why

No way their gonna top the anime. And any live action adaption is gonna probably be trash.

Doesn't help that someone atached to the thor flicks is on this too

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

The shyt adaptations of Bleach and Death Note
If they ever touch Samurai Champloo

 

[Monoblock]

Not letting this irritate me. It'll be trash and then forgotten in a month. They can't even match the OST by Yoko

Let's listen to some Space Lion and chill.

 

[Figaro]

See you space Cowboy

 

[Goon for hire]

This shyt is gonna be trash as fukk.

One of the things that made cowboy bebop so good was the animation itself. Along with the voice actors
