The day has come. The creator of CowboyBebop shares his thoughts on the Netflix adaptation!
Netflix's Cowboy Bebop adaptation was certainly one of the most controversial live-action adaptations to arrive in the past few years, with the first season unable to secure the television series a second season. Despite ending on a cliffhanger that gave a new take on the legendary anime episode,"Ballad of Fallen Angels", and introducing the series' version of Ed, the streaming service decided to move in a different direction.
The live-action adaptation starred John Cho as Spike Spiegel, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black, Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine, Alex Hassell as Vicious, and Elena Satine as Julia.
Cowboy FlopIn a recent interview with Forbes, creator Shinichiro Watanabe revealed that he most certainly was not a fan of the Netflix live-action series, going so far as to state that he was unable to even watch the show past the opening scene: "For the new Netflix live-action adaptation, they sent me a video to review and check. It started with a scene in a casino, which made it very tough for me to continue. I stopped there and so only saw that opening scene. It was clearly not Cowboy Bebop and I realized at that point that if I wasn't involved, it would not be Cowboy Bebop. I felt that maybe I should have done this. Although the value of the original anime is somehow far higher now.
What did you think of Cowboy Bebop's live-action series? Do you think it's impossible to truly create a live-action adaptation worthy of its anime source material? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of the Bebop.
