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

[The Guru]

Is this trash as they say or is it hyperbole from internet weeb snobs?

 

[Monoblock]

Them trying to do live action of exact scenes of every episode is just....weird. The first episode with Asimov and the bloody eye is done so heavy handed and try hard it. I made it there and had to cut it off. It just felt wrong.

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Too faithful to the anime and scared to take any chances to make the IP their own. This is only for bebop fans who can’t let go.

I don't see that as a negative

That's the only reason it was greenlit

This was never going to have mass appeal with anyone except fans of the original

Bruh it’s okay to trash, Pootie Tang is in my top 10. I’m not judging you but objectively this is trash. I’m not even looking at it through the lens of a bebop fan.

Bad fight scenes, dialog, and cinematography. This shyt is shot just like the anime.

 

[Sonny Bonds]

On episode 2. The directing of most of the action scenes is kinda bad so far. But interactions between Spike and Jet are good.

What in the JBO wet dream is this?

 

[ORDER_66]

I hope it's good and yes I missed out on the original anime so I'm going in fresh

 

[Blackfyre]

Got through all episodes, even though I hated what they did to Vicious I thought it was a fantastic show overall and I’m looking forward to the follow up season. Also,

Spoiler: Last Episode

not sure why Edward's getting a lot flack how they're being portrayed when it's an accurate representation, I enjoyed the little we got of them.

 

[Wargames]

This is not that bad. It’s actually pretty good if you just watch it for what it is and know the source material. If this was an animated OVA that took a more campy approach to the source material people would judge it a lot less harshly.

Flipside this isn’t as good as the Anime, but few things are.

 

[Cᵣₐₛₕ&ₜₕₑCₒᵤₚ]

I'll probably watch the rest later but one episode in and it just doesn't capture the swag of the anime shoes just too big​

 

[KalKal]

I watched the original version once, many years ago, so I'm familiar with it but not a superfan.

After 4 episodes, I'm actually enjoying this show a lot more than I expected to.

 

[FAH1223]

Mustafa Shakir sounds very similar to Beau Billingslea did in the anime voicing Jet

Im on episode 2. So far it’s interesting.

 

[Carl Tethers]

Ed might be the worst shyt I've ever seen

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Not a fan so far. I think it’s a miss

 

[EA]

Watched the first two episodes with my girl and you know what…it’s pretty enjoyable. I have to say that I’m thoroughly surprised because this is my favourite anime and I was ready to hate.
