I agree with what he's saying, that a decade from now this will be seen as a "cult classic" that wasn't understood in its time.

Cheesy and Cowboy Bebop being in the same sentence hurts me physically

I'm a hard-core Cowboy Bebop fan... and... I wasn't even compelled to finish the first episode.
I'm liking this so far

Comments are funny because if they did an absolutely faithful pane by pane, scene by scene, word for word recreation I would bet 2 billion dollars yall would hate it
And whats even funnier is people acting like the original was perfect

I think some folks act like that because Cowboy Bebob like DBZ was the gateway anime for a lot folks. So it's sacred to them.

I like a lot about this, but six episodes in and they've pretty much dropped the ball on the Spike, Vicious, Julia triangle. That's a pretty major slip and an unfortunate one. This show's got humor and fun, but the serious and darker tones never capture the bleakness that underpins the anime. It just doesn't handle the tonal switch-ups as well and goes too heavy-handed when it shows us their backstories. The anime gave you breadcrumbs and let you piece everything together, the characters were running from their pasts and you felt it that much more whenever the past would catch up to them. This series only has 10 episodes, so the bread crumbs are heavy-handed as hell and it doesn't allow for the build-up.
I still like this joint, but it's different. It's lighter...not bad if you dodge the broader comparisons. It's like how some manag/anime do alternate universe stories with the same characters (you could use Marvel or DC for examples too). This isn't better than the original, but it's bad...just different. I'm enjoying getting to see Jet, Faye, and Spike again; reimagined but still my old Bebop crew.
I wish there was more Ein though.

Finished. Episode 9 I liked a lot. The “twist” for episode 10 tho 
there is plenty of room for it spiraling out of control in a bad way going into the second season
overall I liked it. I think some of the changes they made were nice and made the story better actually. Some just gonna hate it off GP which is whatever.

Fair point
I just expect that people understand that these are different mediums and carbon copies of the source dont translate well

Personally that’s not my issue. I didn’t want or expect a carbon copy but I wanted the soul or the feel to be consistent. Cowboy Bebop, imo, is one of the coolest IPs ever and this live action version has people liking it for its cheesiness. That’s just wild to me.

I get it
Its just that I am watching both the original and this version concurrently and I find the original campy and cheesy in parts too lol
So it doesnt bother me at all

I started watching with low expectations (cuz I wasn’t that crazy of a fan of the anime, thought it was decent but some niccas overrated it)
But so far, it’s better than what I expected. I like it thus far

The camp was due to circumstances the characters were in not the actual characters themselves.
I will say though that Julia ending made a lot sense. Let’s see if they make it their own show in the second season.
FUKK THAT ED 
I enjoyed every episode
I thought the overall production was great especially the vehicle design with them mixing space ships with classic American cars
The plot was fine, nothing you haven't seen in other sci-fi shows
I hope Netflix renews it for season 2
