You know, using the same ingredients (or similar) doesn't mean the cake will be as good as that done in 1997. |

Well, I will just taste the cake and find out. I guess I am just too positive. So what if it is bad? Its no problem to me. It doesn't ruin the anime or anything |

Watanabe's role seems to be that of very limited capacity that is typical for all adaptions. "I read the initial concept and provided my opinions, but I’m not sure if they will be reflected in the final product. I have no choice but to pray and hope that it will turn out good. Also, for Cowboy Bebop I don’t have any right to stop it. Those rights are in the hands of Sunrise, so if you have a complaint, please send it to them." Source: https://comicbook.com/anime/news/cowboy-bebop-live-action-netflix-anime-creator-comment/ Getting Yoko Kanno to do music and putting in some cameos from the English dub actors seems very superficial to me. A lot of reboots and adaptions use music from the original version and cameo old characters and actors to rely on nostalgia to carry the new version. This show is going to have to stand on its own at the end of the day, though. |

Feels kinda of weird having a comic book movie based on an live-action show based on an anime. It does seems that Netflix has a lot of confidence on this show if they're making this type of promotional material, Stranger Things didn't get spin-off comics and games not until the end of the first season.
Now, it would be crazy if the show gets a good reception, then they decide to make an animated side story like the recent Witcher movie or that Altered Carbon anime, specially if it gets animated by Sunrise. |

I see it as marketing. Get people interested shortly after the show comes out. Plus, the novel is written by the screenwriter(boy would I hate to be the writer with all that pressure), so the novel could provide an idea of what tone the series will be. |

SUPERFICIAL That was the word I was looking for. You can't assure me the show having those things will make it good, specially when a lot of remakes and adaptations do that very same things for the sake of nostalgia and pandering to the fans, and still have an overall bland quality to it. And about Daniella Pineda's response to the people body-shaming her for not looking like if Faye was ripped off from the TV screen (which is in itself an immature and outright stupid thing to ask for): while I understand taking none of the shit from other people on the internet and having a response to them is brave and maybe cathartic for her, I think she could've done better by not engaging with them, since those people will see her response as her "not taking the fans of the original show seriously", and hence, not taking the show she's helping adapt seriously, thus giving them more ammunition to bash on the show. |

Eh, maybe it will be good. If not, I still have the anime. I don't fear live action adaptions because if they suck, I can just choose not to watch them and enjoy the original. As for Fay, that's hollywood. People think they need to respond. |

Yeah, we get it; we already know you like it and you have high hopes for it. You don't have to chime in in every comment just because it detracts from your opinion. |

I just commented. I didn't know everyone was following my responses. I said that on a different forum. It just seems like I am suppsoed to be angry that this exists, except I am not? People acting like this will ruin the anime are ridiculous. |

The same can be said for those who want to simply dismiss it before even seeing it and chime in anytime it detracts from your opinion. It goes both ways. Ok, time to reel this in. This is getting off topic, and several of you are just talking in circles at this point. Agree to disagree and move on. |

I personally think they should wait and see if the show does well before wasting resources on making a comic and novel about it but whatever works for them i guess.

A lot of time its not wasting resources. I don't know about the comic, but the novel was written by the screenwriter. He probably could write it after finishing the series. Since a series is written months before everything else, I can see the novel bring done without costing much time. I hope they make vicious more interesting. He was incredibly mysterious in the original, and kind of a boring character when we learn little other than he liked Julia as well as Spike. |

Re: Vicious, I don't think he was boring or particularly mysterious, there was enough things implied about him to make him, if not a very dynamic character, but an interesting one. (As I said elsewhere, Jupiter Jazz is pretty much about him and what makes him tick). Still, I'm curious to see what they're going to do with him, hopefully they're going to add to his character instead of taking away. |

Boring? Yeah, because all good villains need to have complex backstories and motivations...if anything Julia was a pretty boring and severly undeveloped character, but whatever, I didn't care much about her anyway. |

Vicious was what he needed to be, no more, no less. He was Spike's foil, rival, and enemy. Cowboy Bebop is about the entire crew, their pasts, and their adventures. It was never a crime drama about them taking down a criminal organization and saving the galaxy so Vicious doesn't need to be some series wide villain who is behind everything like Gus Fring. |
