That's kind of sweet that he wants it to honor Keiko Nobumoto.

Imagine having assistance from the action director of John Wick and famous composers who grew up on Watanabe anime.

At least it looks like this will be a complete anime with no rush by the time it airs.

Trailers have been in existence since last year - definitely isn't a last minute rush job like most anime seems to be these days.

Cowboy Bebop is a hard act to follow. Watanabe so far hasn't been able to, as far as I'm concerned. But I'm looking forward to this, anyway.

Wait... I didn't know Keiko Nobumoto passed. She, Nabeshin (not the Excel one) and Sunrise are singlehandedly the reason I love Welsh Corgis to this day.

Maybe the Toonami original curse will finally be broken?

I have no idea how this will turn out, but at the very least it's great to see Watanabe so enthusiastic about what he's created. I remain cautiously optimistic.

I really miss Keiko Nobumoto, though. Bebop and Wolf's Rain are both on my anime Mount Rushmore, and her incredible writing played a huge part in making them masterpieces.

So, Steve Blum is definitely doing the English voice now, right?

I am glad that she is getting more recognition in recent years. At one point, most people seemed to be believed that Watanabe was the lead writer.
