Not gonna lie, my heart skipped a beat once I noticed one of the shots was pretty clearly from Ballad of Fallen Angels.

I know nothing about this. Im aware of it, but always assumed it was an anime about a cowboy called Bebop which put me off checking it out further.
It actually sounds like something I'd enjoy.

The very first thing this made me think of: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CowboyBebopAtHisComputerNot a slight against you, or anything. It just made me think of this.

I'm glad they made changes to Faye. Im dying of laughter watching weebs melt down over her bust size and lack of whatever the hell that outfit was in the cartoons. Too many people cast with their ****s and not their brains on the internet. My life does not revolve around an animated characters boobs…at least not that much. But still, I think it would be a fun nod and wink if at some point she did wear the outfit from the anime for a single episode, or better yet, she sees it on someone else or on a mannequin and makes a snarky remark about how impractical it is.

Only if the actress is comfortable with it. Because that outfit is trash on real life human beings

In live action that looks utterly ridiculous but I can't help but appreciate the commitment to the bit. Weird to have the Mad Pierrot showing up while there's no sign of Edward though.

I loved that. So glad they have Yoko Kanno on board, too. The music of Cowboy Bebop was as much a character as Spike, Jet, or Faye.

1) I am meh about cowboys and space so the lack of Radical Edward is a real no-no. I guess I'll see how they do her if it gets that far.
2) I assume they did it do avoid bad press about whitewashing, and fair enough for that, but it is pretty funny that Spike Spiegel, jewfro and all, is played by an Asian actor. Also he looks kinda old for Spike? But if he can do cool fight scenes then all is forgiven, I guess.

Spike's appearance was based off of Yusaku Matsuda.

Interesting, I'd always taken him as an updated Lupin. Matsuda certainly does resemble Spike (more than Cho, tbh).

Wow, this might actually work.
In prep I'm going to have to run through this blu-ray collection I bought of it some months back just to be refreshed.

Pretty sure they’ve said they’re intentionally holding back Edward Granted but he's a very late game villain whose episode she's fairly involved in. ... Granted Edward's role in that episode is basically to help provide information that's really only there for the audience because Spike never actually learns it before killing the guy so I guess it's not hard to write her out of it.

I rewatched it a month or two ago. It's kind of one of those shows where I get why it's so beloved but it doesn't entirely work for me. I like it but don't love it. Still probably will check out this adaptation though.

They've announced the Japanese version will be dubbed by the original cast, so might be some novelty in that for any sub fans.
