Well, Netflix dropped the opening for their Cowboy Bebop series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq2N-9EmedA

I'm already seeing tons of discussion on this elsewhere, but for those who hadn't seen it yet, there ya go!

I dig it, and im looking forward to how they'll do the series. I don't wanna know the negative Nancy's opinions about this online so much as I can help it. From the still shots that were released a while ago I don't mind how the characters look, and the set designs of the Bebop off that one image I was very impressed with. There's my take.

I've got a similar mindset as DKop here. I think this new live-action version has potential, and it's not like it's replacing the original or anything; We can always go back to it whenever. It seems like the crew behind this is putting some care into the project, and I'm interested to see where it goes.
A live-action Cowboy Bebop's been rumored since '08, after all.

This is kind of a necro-bump, but I've been watching the first few episodes, and I think they are quite well done.

It keeps the right tone, and I think the change to live action is a positive one.

What do others think?

I gave my thoughts on another thread found here: viewtopic.php?p=18427#p18427

Overall, im enjoying it.

I just finished the show last night. I didn't expect that kind of an ending, and it left a sour taste in my mouth. After thinking about it for a while, I realize that even though I didn't like how this season ended, I do want to see where it continues. It feels more of a twisted fanfiction of Bebop brought to cinema, but at least I can't say its boring or predictable, i'll give it that. There's a lot more I can say on it but i'll just save that for a podcast coming up.

I just watched (on Netflix) my first animated version of Cowboy Bebop.

And the feeling of deja vu was unmistakable. The live action basically could have been used to just about rotoscope the animation.
