Cowboy Bebop is my favorite anime and I unironically think it's a legitimate masterpiece, but man the movie is so whatever. The best scenes are the convenience store robbery in the beginning and the fight with Elektra in the building, and everything outside that is just kinda...dry

Anyone else agree? >_>

It's really just one long episode that's trying to tell a story that doesn't tie back to Vicious.

It gave us an entire additional soundtrack of Seatbelts music, though, so it deserves praise for that much at least. Plus the opening and ending are bangers.

I like Cowboy Bebop a lot too, but I honestly didn't know there was a movie lol. I've watched the live action show though :/
oof. I only made it halfway thru the live action show before dropping it. It's so bad lol. Jet is the only good thing about that show, because that dude is LITERALLY Jet and plays him so well

The movie isnt *bad*. It's probably worth one watch if you like the show

Wasn't there a fight on a monorail or something? I only vaguely remember it, but it wasn't A+ in my book.
Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends
And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame

Yeah, that's how I'd describe it. Only watchable if you like the show, anyone not already familiar with Cowboy Bebop likely won't get anything out of it.

Yeah, Spike and Vincent fight on the monorail and he ends up blowing up the train with a grenade

There was, and you may remember the fight from the clip showing that the Naruto animators straight up stole the choreography:

I doubt it. It's not like fight choreography is something that can be copyrighted, at least not when we're only talking a couple of punches, and it's entirely possible it was done by literally the same animator who just got pulled on to that project and decided to reuse some of his old material.

As I said: I do love this Elektra fight scene from the movie tho

Funnily enough, Jet is supposed to be like 10 years older than Spike but John Cho is 4 years older than Mustafa Shakir.

Gotta love anime ages where a guy in his mid-30s looks 50.

The live action show is bad, and I knew it going in, but watching it made me want to watch the original series now.
Your memes.... end here.

Stole? Lmao
The same animator did both the movie and that episode. It was an homage to the bebop fight scene.

Honestly cant remember any of it, I only saw it on release in theater.
"Oh man would you just shut up already, how come all you sword guys have to talk about how cool your swords are?"
Im gonna use this thread as a safe space to say "El Camino" sucked ass and the series is worse off for it existing.
This is a cool sig
I always felt the same way.

Most anime movies based the shows are boring or forgettable. The only thing going for them is better animation than the series. Cowboy Bebop had a really cool first 10 minutes, and that was about it.
...I think I'm done here...
Not sure if anyone knew this, but tomorrow night and the next some theaters are playing the movie for its 25th anniversary.
Im going to try to see it
The animation and fight choreography were awesome, but yeah the movie as a whole was really mid af.
DI MOLTO!
