I fukkin called it, two episodes in and it’s bad.

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.

Just watched the first ep. And it was amazing to me. It’s a good homage to Cowboy Bebop……It has a lil camp/a lil cheese and quirkiness, but I think it fits when trying to adapt the anime. Spike, Jet, and Faye were all great in the first ep. And the first episode pretty much hit all the marks of the anime first episode. I am a die hard Bebop fan though

BTW, in a lot of ways this reminds me of The Witcher, in which as a unbiased opinion of a show, it has a lot of flaws and ultimately not a good show when compared to shows like GOT. However, as a fan of the Witcher the show was one of my favorite shows of that year……..I’m basically saying I’m EXTREMELY biased.

:blessed:It’s for the fans :blessed:……imagine some fukking stranger telling you how your favorite retelling a show should be. After the first ep, it seems like they captured the spirit of the show.
I guess it's cause I love the jazzy soundscore (jazz fan) and character interactions, there's chemistry and dialogue there. The guy that plays Jet Black needs more roles, just phenomenal. Mad underrated.

Yea Jet has been a stand out so far; however, Jet has always been my favorite character from the Anime.

First episode...I don't hate it so far. It definitely feels a little campier and lighter than Bebop, but it's been so long that I don't really remember how I felt about the early episodes (pre-Ballad of Fallen Angels in particular). I think they've got the aesthetic and the humorous points, but I'm not sure they'll be able to match the more serious toned moments...the rose image doesn't work like it did on the show and they dropped the ball on the end of episode 1 reveal too imo.

Still...I kinda liked it. Jet really bodies his role and I feel like all the performers are really giving it their all. This seems like it'll be fun at a minimum...prolly won't recapture the original but I'll wind up diving right into it when I finish this.
