Well, they didn't mess up the music

the sound quality seems to be a bit worse than the anime version. seems to be way less dynamic sounding. maybe im just being hysterical though. you can decide below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq2N-9EmedA (live action)

it is very apparent to me during the first 5 seconds when the string instrument starts playing.

might be better quality on netflix tho

It's kind of weird, every other shot switches between "perfectly faithful" and "wtf is this silly bullshit". Which tells me this show will probably be about 50-60% good. Passable by today's standards but not great.

ahh ok. well, I don't mind if ed isn't in the show.

If this is the dog being casted as Ein then I think that is ok. Not the same color as the anime version but as long as it can act the part I can forgive it.



anime version for comparison:

@TheOnionKnight what do you think? I am surprised I like it. I still dont have much faith for the show proper, but as a first look this actually has my stamp of approval, and I was ready to hate it.

Eh I don't know. I kinda think I wish it was more different from the cartoon. The fact that you can literally compare the openings side by side, because they're the "same," makes this feel worse because the cartoon version is just better. As though this is an imitation, and not an adaptation.

And therein is the issue with remakes with things people hold in really high regard like Cowboy Bebop, veer too far from the source material you get shit like Death Note where all the characters are in name only and it's fucking awful, stick too close and you get Gus Van Sant's Psycho remake which paled in comparison despite being a 1 to 1 remake. You don't remake the things that are already masterpieces in the eyes of a lot of people, you remake the things that could actually could be improved upon to a significant degree.

It looks a lot better in live action than in stills, I'll admit that. I'm hopeful. Buy God damn Vicious makes me want to vomit.

His actor is too young. Even in the Anime he only looked kind of young in flashbacks, but either through stress or drugs he was clearly visibly older and more worn out looking than Spike was despite being the same age on paper.

He's also too much of a pretty boy.

For better or worse they all look recognizable as their anime counterpart

But who is the woman? She doesn't look like Faye at all, did they change her character completely?

What would you want a remix to sound like? They rearranged the theme for the live action show and I'll take that over a remix.

It is so weird they try to make almost everyone else imitate the anime characters, but Faye looks vastly different. And it is not just the outfit, but her hair also. Hard to say how her actual character is, since we haven't gotten any actually footage from the proper show.

This. Where the hell is Edward?

I did see Pam Grier and Pierrot (????), though, so maybe it won't be all bad.

it could be cool in this kind of Kill Bill quasi-homage-parody way that some of the shots are

but a whole show of this? and equal to literally the best anime ever made that still hasn't been topped?

yeah i don't have high hopes

It looks like bad cosplay to me.

One interesting thing is that they used Japanese for all the text, compared to English in the original. I guess since this one is created in English, they wanted to be consistent by using a different language?

Dammit I wanted it to be its own thing, not just ride the anime's coattails this hard.

Like I wanted it to really shift things around and tell different stories. But there's Mad Pierrot. There's Twinkle Maria Murdock. There's Asimov Solensan. There's Teddy Bomber. There's Abdul Hakim. I think I saw VT also in the pile of TVs (which implies Londes as well).

Like I could buy having Vicious and Julia still in. They're Spike's backstory, but man.

If you can't include Ed, then don't try to just redo the episodes. She brings so much to the old show.

You know, I agree with Cyric here. If it was it's own thing, I wouldn't be AS annoyed with the changes. Not that I'd be a fan of that, but then you can at least understand why the changes would exist.

Now I feel it can't be appreciated as an adaptation, nor as a unique take on the series.

Lame af.

I'm impressed they somehow managed to make the live actors less full of life than the original animation.

This is the lamest attempt at snark ever
