Was hoping the walkout of the blue hair types at Netflix would spare us from them ruining more beloved franchises (poor He-Man!), but does not appear that way. I'll give it a shot in case it's so bad it's good.

I've seen Cowboy Bebop probably 100 times and just cannot figure out the tone of that trailer and what this is supposed to be. Maybe it'll be fine and they put that together with a bland test / focus group. Very strange.

I saw Cowboy Bepop like 20 years ago, I like it but I don’t consider myself a huge fan. I barely remember anything about it except for some characters and a few moments here and there.

Nothing impressed me so far in what I saw, this last trailer though makes me think it might be an interesting sci-if show, not necessarily a good Cowboy Bebop adaption but good sci-fi show. I’ll give it a shot since I love sci-fi.

ya know i have to at least see Pierrot Le Fou in live action just to see how far up the crazy dial they take it

also wtf @ the name thing? are they implying his name was something else prior to his split from the syndicate? or just the last name?

OK, the new trailer is way better. Also looks like a lot of reused original show scenes, so that's good. hopefully they don't inject too much woke crap.

They should win an award of some kind for that trailer; every line delivered was devoid of any presence or charisma, just flat line reading. That said, it was cool seeing the Bebop in CG.

Yeah... "I go by Spike Spiegel".. The actual fuck?!?! It's the same Han Solo name bullshit.

Lol

And oh boy, they are going to recreate Seasion 5, even the church encounter. That episode, that scene is like the highest pinnacle of the show and they are going to make a watered down cheap version *vomit *

John Cho has ZERO charisma, style and personality, imagine him trying to act like a cool, calm character as Spike.
He looks always tired and wanting to get out of there and get some sleep.

This shit looks like CW gave their budget, acting skills and direction.

Looks bad, but I’m still happy they tried. I felt like Bebop had a darker tone with lots of lighter moments. This looks lighter tone with occasional dark moments and that won’t feel right- if that makes any sense ?

This show will probably be aimed at people like me who know literally nothing about Cowboy Behop and will find this entertaining.

After it's done airing do yourself a favor and watch the anime. It's one of the few times the dub is universally recommended too.

Eh, kind of the same reaction as the other trailer - didn't love it, didn't entirely hate it.

Faye is the only casting choice so far that I absolutely hate. And not just because her body type is 100% off, but she doesn't capture the mannerisms of Faye at all. Cho had some "moments" of Spike, even if they weren't particularly strong.

Cowboy Bebop is one of the rare examples of voice over being so good it's on par if not better than the Jap voices. If you decide to go with English in this case you are still getting just as good of an experience.
