Cowboy Bebop: The Lost Session

A very fun show have pretty good action and visuals The atmosphere is very pleasant and faithful to the anime The cast is not well picked in my opinion and here is why John sho as spike is good even if the anime character was not asian, he brings a good comedy touch though Spike was actually more naughty and dark with a deep melancholy Daniela pineda doesn't look or move like Faye but she does an incredible job besides she's gorgeous as hell.

Jet is a perfect cast.

Vicious is not a crazy mad man they got it so wrong he is very calm and composed.

Dunno if me and the other reviewer were watching the same short, but as a lifelong Cowboy Bebop fan I thought it was fantastic.

I mean sure, John Cho looks a little too old to play Spike Spiegel, but he nails the spirit completely. I get that the producers want to portray the Bebop crew as seasoned, worn down bounty hunters, and why not? It works, and this doesn't have to be the beginning of their tale like the anime, why can't they be careworn and slightly haggard? Life ain't easy, and takes its toll, so the threadbare styling works. Imagine Star Wars if everything was sparkly and new, it wouldn't be half as effective!

The whole thing premiers in a couple of hours, and I'm cranked up to eleven with anticipation.

If it's as good as this little taster, with the music, the humour, and the chop-sockey ultraviolence, who cares if Spike ain't a twentysomething!

And who doesn't want to see the Bebop, Swordfish, Hammerhead, and The Red tail for real...?!

I really enjoyed this series. Brought back a lot of memories of the anime - stayed true to its themes, plots and characters but at the same time brought it to life. Well done to all the actors and directors.

I have watched and rewatched this show over the years. And listened to the music. I think some purists are just over criticizing this show. When I watch something, I watch to see how well they have preserved the characters even if they have changed the dynamics. However, in this case I didn't look for the same characters of the anime, but how well it would work if they were real life characters. This is good to watch for the fans. People that may not know the story all that well may not really get the nuances, but the adapted stories work really work well for this.

Loved the Anime series, but I guess I am not one of those people that have to sit and compare anime to this live action. Watching this live action with no bias, just seeing it as a first timer of the lore was imply a great story with cool cinematic elements. The relationship with Spike and Jet is endearing and has a great comedic energy. Throw in Faye and its even more of an "Odd" ball trio. I love how they made the bebop as the fourth main character.

Great dialogue-back and forth, Enjoyable action. For the people calling in woke, I don't see it. Its just reflecting more modern times since the original was made a long time ago.

Overall a great fun stylistic show with great comedic moments and some badassery.
