Is there even any demand for these live action anime adaptations? If people cared about it they'd watch the anime. They usually have to modify it which disappoints fans and the people they're trying to appeal to just won't care.

Most people who know nothing about anime aren't going to give a show called Cowboy Bebop a chance.

theres no demand, but for a while they have licenses to these properties so theyre gonna make a live action show out of it. if it works then thats great for them and if they cancel the show iss till par for the course since they cancel almost everything.

It just keeps happening, because it was successful once or twice in the past, and mostly because everyone is out of ideas.

Seriously, enough with the fucking reboots and adaptations.

They're almost always worse than the original and only make the original seem worse in retrospect
This shit is getting out of hand

This is why casting is important. Was anticipating character designs translated flawlessly on screen, but instead we got twice-as-old-as-the-anime Spike, racebending Jet (actually not that bad), and Faye without her iconic skimpy outfit.

I'm surprised this is a surprise to anyone. Netflix cancels anything pretty quickly if it isn't a massive success. Even stuff that's critically acclaimed and popular gets cancelled so that Netflix can pump more money into their shotgun spread of new shows, let alone stuff with a mixed reception like this.

You know what the real success to the original Cowboy Bebop was in the US? Steve Blum. Period. That voice made the show.

Jet is literally the best part of the show

Nothing was wrong with his casting

Won't stop me. I've been spoiled by so many great cosplays, but I know cinematic costume designers can work magic.

I have little issue with Faye and Jet compared to Spike, but if all three of them more closely resembled the anime then I would be a lot more interested because it's awesome to see. Like JK Simmons as JJJ.

Cosplayers in a convention and a live action show are completely different scenarios.

Faye's outfit was probably one of the only good things about it. Infinitely better than whatever you call what she wore in the anime

Yeah, I think Jet was fucking awesome. You can tell the actor was a fan and really studied the character, his voice even sounded like it did in the anime.

The cast wasn't the problem, it was the writers. They didn't choose to be cringe, they were written that way. Like even Ed, as awful as she was, wasn't badly acted per se. How do you deliver those lines in a way that doesn't suck? Also the director likely told her that was the performance he wanted. I don't like when people shit on actors for decisions the creative staff made. Like when people attacked Star Wars actors over dumb shit their characters did or said, as though the actors chose to do that.

We could list decent ones, I guess.
The live-action Space Battleship Yamato was almost good.
Speed Racer is a bad film I'll never be ashamed of liking.

Netflix is the Google of streaming. They just kill anything that is not universally liked.

I haven't seen it yet, but lots of people I know enjoyed it.

Also Faye looks hot af.

I think what really happened is the lack of faithfulness to the source material ruined any chance they would have had of catching on with word of mouth. The absolute best feedback I've ever seen it get was: "It's fine, I guess, but it changes a lot"

Spoilers for live action (canceled) Cowboy Bebop: Twisting the plot to make Julia the villain instead of Vicious was one of the single most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen in all of adapted media.

All we know about Jet and Spike is they read Chinese natively (there is a scene where they point at a no smoking sign written in many languages, and specifically point at the Chinese part and we also see Jet casually reading the news in Chinese). They likely speak a Chinese language natively, but beyond that we don't know their ethnicity. Faye is explicitly Singaporean.

The hair color and glasses are a photoshop. But yeah, I'm quite sure it is supposed to resemble a mad scientist. The actual photo gives off similar vibes though.

anime fans dont know what adaptation means. theyre never trying to literally retell the same story as the source material, just take elements from it. original storylines arent really the problem with these, they just have shit writing.
