The anime is 26 30-minute episodes, and the live-action is 10 50-minute ones. “ That more or less goes for the story, too. “As soon as you make the transition from animation to live-action, all sorts of real-world factors come into play, so I decided ahead of time to not nitpick the visuals,” he says. Seiji’s family didn’t have a DVD player, so he bought the VHS tapes – that’s how far back his Bebop fandom goes.īut despite his love for the original series, Seiji was determined to keep an open mind for the Netflix live-action version. As a high school student, he watched the entire anime during its original 1998 broadcast on Japanese TV, then went out and spent pretty much all of his allowance on the home video release.
While Seiji has seen a lot of anime in his life, Cowboy Bebop is one of his all-time favorites. Our resident otaku reporter, Seiji Nakazawa, cleared out his schedule for the weekend so that he could watch all 10 episodes, but before we dive into his impressions, a little background on the guy.
#Spike cowboy bebop live action series#
Netflix managed to do what so many others couldn’t, and delivered its adaptation of the esteemed anime series to its streaming platform on November 19. Short answer? Being vegan just makes you better than other people.These aren’t the cowboys, or the villain, that defined the classic anime, our veteran Bebop fan says.Īfter decades of rumors, false starts, and delays, there’s finally a live-action version of Cowboy Bebop. Julia? Well, anyone who’s seen Scott Pilgrim Vs The World knows that Brie Larson is the only person who should have been given the role. He’s awesome in everything but just get out of your house and go watch Dune if you doubt. Scroll back up and look at Vincent, then go suffer through Stranger Things, and come back in a couple hours to tell me I’m wrong. Nobody else is gonna do that beautiful animullet justice. Because it’s fucking impossible to cast Ed, and that kid walked up there and did it anyway like a fuckin boss. I’m giving that kid from Netflix a shot at being Ed, too. Anime doesn’t do women like real women so real women playing anime is like the hunters with the skinned boars in Mononoke Hime.Īnd you know what? Fuck you guys. I’m open to your suggestions, but they’re all terrible so just whatever. We’ll write her better, but I can’t think of anyone who would look less stupid trying to play Faye. And after hours of listening to him as Johnny Silverhand, I think he’s got the voice for it too.īut goddamnit I’m stickin’ with Mustafa as Jet, because what an on the nose portrayal.Īs much as you all hate her, I think I’m also stickin’ with Daniella. Keanu’s “Muh, I’m Keanu Reeves, cry about it.” face is perfect for Vicious. Deadpool’s got me sold on Reynolds as Spike. Spike’s a goofy ass character who cracks jokes and one liners just as easily as he cracks skulls.
You can disagree, but I think it would be glorious. Ryan Reynolds as Spike opposite Keanu Reaves as Vicious. Gonna go for the gen x hollywood butchery version here. Murphy performance as Thomas Shelby would be the perfect foundation for a performance as Vincent imo.Įric Dane as Mad Pierrot Le Fou: Kind of a hard cast, but I could see him pulling off that particular brand of insanity that Mad Pierrot encapsulates.įlorence Pugh: Very easily has all the looks and talent necessary to body the role of Julia. I think aging Ed up somewhat would do alot for the character, and make casting and character portrayal alot more feasible in a live action setting.Ĭillian Murphy as Vincent Volaju: I know alot of people really want Keanu, but I don't think he has the range required for a character like Vincent. Jenny Ortega as Edward IV: Probably the hardest character to cast for alot of reasons.
Tati Gabrielle as Faye Valentine: Might get crucified for this one, but I'm convinced she'd do a pretty good job bringing Fayes energy to the screen. Not only did he embody him, he was able to perfectly mimic the originals English dubs V/O. Mustafa Shakur as Jet Black: I think he perfectly portrayed Jet Black as he was. Robert Pattinson as Vicious: Easily has the range and the look down pat to play someone as cold and calculated as Vicious.
