It bears repeating that the few negative reviews include several outlets like Polygon who are mad the show is too faithful to the manga.
Once the strike is resolved with a fair deal for the writers and actors, we are going to see a lot of optioned anime IP’s fast tracked for film and television shows.

I know that by this point, I’m super late to the party when it comes to opinions on the Live Action Cowboy Bebop, but I was thinking about it recently, so I figured I’d shout into the void while it was on my mind.
I liked it.
Was it a good adaption? Nah, not really. I’ve seen worse, but this wasn’t a very good retelling of the story or the characters. They changed a lot that didn’t need to be changed, and it pissed a lot of people off. But I frequently hear it touted as one of the worst of the worst when it comes to LA adaptions, some even saying it’s just as bad as Dragon Ball: Evolution and the Last Airbender movie. And that just isn’t true.
DB:E and TLA weren’t just a terrible adaptions. If you removed Dragon Ball and Avatar from them, stripped that from their identities, they would still be terrible movies. Where LA Cowboy Bebop would be good, dare I say better, if you stripped away the Coybow Bebop from it.
If it had been set in the world of Bebop with a different cast of characters, or “inspired by Cowboy Bebop,” or didn’t have anything to do with Bebop, it would likely have been regarded as a fairly good, 7-8/10 show. But it also likely wouldn’t have been greenlit if that were the case since it seems everything needs to be a remake, adaption, or reimagining these days.
TLDR: Live Action Cowboy Bebop is not a great adaption, but is a decent enough scifi series in a void.
Case in point, while I went in knowing about Cowboy Bebop, and loved the anime, my Dad, an old school scifi nerd who doesn’t watch anime(outside of whatever I watched on Saturday mornings as a kid, so mostly Yu-Gi-Oh) and had never even heard of Cowboy Bebop before, really enjoyed the show for what was there when we watched it together, and was really disappointed it got canceled.
So, I’m glad it got made, because even if it was a terrible adaption, I still had a good time, and anyone who hadn’t seen the anime already probably would as well.
The anime is still better, though. Do not get me wrong. But I can like both, for different reasons. Should I have started with that? I feel I should have started with that…

“Good news! That cartoon show you loved as a kid is set to become the latest live-action movie!”
Kitten, I’ll be honest, Daddy’s about to start killing people.

hate hate hate that the supposed "best" thing that can happen to an animated show/movie is that it gets a live action adaptation. like no i do not want to watch my favourite show but with bad pacing, dialogue, fight scenes and with random unnecessary plot points that detract from the message of the original story
oh so you need to "update" the story by girlbossifying the female character so that she has a 2D personality and then make sure that all the "good guys" are perfect angels angels and never make mistakes?? thanks i hate it

Netflix has a horrible track record of hiring people to work on shows that have no interests or connections to the source material. That's why shows like Cowboy Bebop and Resident Evil have failed. That's why people who are fans of the original content for The Witcher and Castlevania have constantly complained about the complete disregard for the source material and that's why people are so concerned by the news being spread about Avatar: The Last Airbender.
I think the most frustrating part about this is fans of these live action shows trying to silence fans of the original material. I've seen this especially with the Netflix Castlevania show. Fans who had genuine concerns about things like the writing, animations, etc. were silenced and lumped in a group with racists, homophobes, etc. and it was annoying because any genuine opinions that did not speak highly of the Netflix show was treated harshly.
Netflix needs to start hiring more people who care about the source material and if possible work with some of the original creators instead of hiring people who don't care about the original work and in some cases even mock the original work. One Piece was a rare case for Netflix where the creator was actually involved in the process of putting the show together and it was great.

the funniest thing ever is people openly hating on the one piece live action online just to be quirky and different, thinking it would set them apart from other "petty idiots" who liked it. fan boys are really built different yeah?
the cowboy bebop live action was a different story, it was inconsistent, it lacked proper research and the characters were written and portrayed lazily, with no care at all and yes I am the same person who tried to defend it when it came out, only because I desperately wanted it to work. But it obviously didn't and people were legitimately right to hate it and stop it from airing, because it butchered our favorite characters and watered the whole plot down into nothing (like what was up with that portrayal of vicious anyway? It was laughable and don't even get me started on Faye Valentine). But it feels different with the one piece live action, I just know it and people hating it for no reason and shaming others for liking it, it's really childish.

They need to stop making live action versions of anime!! my 63 year old dad just got me into fucking one piece!! He started watching it bc he liked the giant fish on the picture and thought that perhaps it was about fishing but now he’s absorbed into the lore!! Fuck you Netflix for getting my dad (and by extension me) into One Piece I’m coming for you fr

Got my Stepdad to watch the first episode of the OPLA and after the episode was over he turned to me and said "I'm hooked". He said it was funny and had good fight scenes.
He's only watched the first episode of the anime.
Another win in my book.
