Of all the shows... It sucks since I feel this is a series that has potential to make the transfer to live action. Just not with them. Their anime adaptation track record is

My bar is set at a comfortably low expectation, so if it turns out to be decent, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

If it brings Cowboy Bebop back into the conversation and maybe gives Blu-ray sales a kick, I'm okay with it.

Furthermore, the Bebop story is pretty malleable, as its greatest strength was its aesthetic and presentation, so if they can nail that, it almost doesn't matter what the story ends up being.

As long as you have the basics in place, you can really tell whatever story you want. I almost hope they don't have Vicious, for example, because he's almost too anime for the setting.

That said, they'd HAVE to nail the aesthetic.

It should be one of the easier anime to make a live action adaptation of. Except for something like Monster.

Remember when the Keanu Reeves as Spike rumor was popping up and it sounded horrible? Yet now that John Wick is his greatest role ever would it be? Sure I doubt Netflix would go for him.

They won't be able to afford him and since Keanu would've been the selling point, you can bet this will be another Netflix anime failure.

If they can make a good Altered Carbon show, they can do Cowboy Bebop

Actually, one question I'd have is is this a Japanese-focused or a Western-focused production. Bleach and FMA were both the former, while Death Note was the latter.

Despite Death Note being at the bottom of that heap, I still think Western-focused is a better way to go for Cowboy Bebop.

They will try to get one decent name. They got Willem Defoe for Death note. But I realize he's generally not a leading man actor so he likely wouldn't cost as much.

Yeah Death Note was bad but I feel Bebop would be easier to do right. But I don't have much faith in Netflix.

Didn't watch that. I'm very warey of the Japanese ones. They did a live action Erased and somehow managed to fuck that one up. I don't know how they did it, but they did. Easily one of the most live action friendly things to adapt.

Hopefully this adaptation is more westernized. The budgets seem to be a bit bigger for those types of shows. Still, I don't think Netflix has a big enough budget to pull this off properly.

Shut the hell up.

One of the most interesting aspects of Cowboy Bebop is its story.

Whoever they get to play Faye, I will be angry, I guarantee it. Also Ed will be hard to pull off.

I don't know what these people saying it'll be easy to adapt are thinking. You'd need a massive budget to bring this setting to life.
