Hoping for the best here. Death Note was really bad but I think that had more to do with it it being a 90 minute (2 hour?) movie attempting to adapt a 37 episode anime than anything. This at least has a shot as a series which Netflix has a better track record for.

There's gonna be a shitstorm when Faye's outfit is revealed no matter what it looks like.


Oh yeah, there's going to be huge backlash no matter what because her boobs won't be big enough.

Also.... Jet was black?

Radical Ed

14-year-old girl, must have athletic ability and short stature. Ed is a 14-year-old computer genius and expert hacker whose talents are indispensable. She is extremely energetic with a child-like wonder and is eccentric, bordering on the bizarre.

Miscasting the main characters. All of them are white, not Asian or black.


That's objectively wrong. Faye is Singaporean. Did you even watch the show? The ethnicities of the others aren't known.

Singaporean is not an ethnicity.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singaporeans

"According to the 2006 AsiaBarometer survey, a majority of Singaporeans identify themselves as "Singaporean", while a small percentage prefer to identify with their ancestry or ethnic group."

"Singaporeans of Chinese descent make up 74.1%, Malays make up 13.4%, Indians make up 9.2%, and residents of other ethnicity make up 3.3% of the 3,870,739 of the resident population (including persons holding Permanent Residency)."

It's pretty hard to reconcile that, and her name of Faye with her somehow being white.

Cowboy Bebop is the weirdest hill to die on about ethnicity, even apart from Faye clearly being an Earthborn asian. Mainly because the show has such a fierce Chinese bent to it. A lot of the more densely populated planets they go to are full of chinese imagery. Chinese statues and architecture is everywhere, most things are written in Chinese characters with english accompaniments. When characters read emails and documents and signs a lot of the time they aren't even written in Japanese, they're straight up chinese characters.

It's far enough in the future that ethnicity is thoroughly mixed together more likely than not, though it's hard to believe Spike is some kind of pure caucasian considering where he came from and how he behaves in the show, germanic last name or not

More than anything I just hope they dont go for a total 1:1 recreation in makeup/wardrobe/styling etc

Shit always looks mad dumb when they try to take things proportioned for highly stylized cartoons and put them on real people.

In reality, I bet a lot of this is ultimately just talk-back for the Death Note adaptation which infamously(?) changed established characters' ethnicity.

While I fully admit the Netflix Death Note failed to deliver a good product, I don't agree that they "changed the ethnicity" for any diversity reason. They wanted to tell the Death Note story from an American perspective. If you want a live-action Death Note movie set in Japan, you have multiple examples already. The Netflix movie was their attempt at something different.

You're the one wrong though, "Singaporean" isn't an ethnicity. Also white people can be born in Singapore or anywhere else for that matter.

Oh yay. You're back.

And black people can be born in Europe. Doesn't stop folks like yourself from bitching when historical fiction puts black people in a European setting. I'm fairly certain I saw you in one of the topics about Netflix's Witcher.

The point has been already made: arguing that people in a futuristic race-mixed setting don't match your perception of their whiteness says nothing about the creators, but plenty about your own character.

And we haven't even touched on the concept of "mukokuseki", the tendency for anime to have race-neutral-appearing characters for the sake of distinction.

Taking characters whose race is unimportant and declaring them white. Like do you even read what you write?

But by all means, take the win that you so desperately need of declaring that Singaporean is not an ethnicity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Singapore
The ethnic groups of Singapore may be categorised using the CMIO system: the Chinese, Malays, Indians, and Others. The CMIO system is a framework of multiracialism developed to manage the diversity and differences in Singapore and integrate them into a single culture.[36] The Chinese form the largest ethnic group in Singapore.

there is no "Singaporean ethnicity".
