its cool that they got yoko kanno for the soundtrack so at the very least there should be some good music which is one of the main reasons to watch bebop in the first place

john cho could really be a good spike who knows

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
I think he's a big part of why it got made so I'm cool with it but my fan casting will always be LaKeith Stanfield

I was a sci fi kid and naturally gravitated towards poo poo like Ghost in the Shell and Neuromancer.

Then they started with the pillows and the 2000 year old dragons and what not.

Oh hi, there are probably many of us.

As for the trailer, it neither scared me away nor hooked me in - it's mostly a confirmation that they're actually going ahead with it. And yeah, the music may end up being the best part.

What ever happened to Beetlejuice 2?

Where the gently caress am I?

That was back in the mid 2000's when they were kicking around the idea of an americanized live action movie, keanu was supposedly going to be spike

Anyway, it looks horrible.

Does anyone else think the characters were too young for their ~tragic backstories~? Spike was supposed to be 27 or something when it would have made more sense if he was mid-late 30s and Jett was mid-30s and his entire persona and backstory suggest someone who's about 50. I always wondered why they made them those ages.

For an anime they're ancient. Maybe them being young adds to the tragedy of not being able to let go when they have most of their lives ahead of them. But probably it's because anime.

Obviously no remake would ever make me feel the same way as seeing Akira on VHS did at age 13 in some friends basement, it would just suck to see it reduced to an angsty buddy teen movie with DC style action scenes. Considering most films are written by committee these days it probably would be :shrug:

yeah, 19 is middle aged in anime. Auron in Final Fantasy X is supposed to be 35. They either don't know how ages work in Japan or assign them out of a hat. It's better to leave the cartoon characters without a specific age but then what would you put next to blood type on the trading card?

Ah, yes. Blood type as a personality trait. Spike is a type O! :pseudo:

This was obviously a stylistic teaser. After the way the witcher teaser was recieved, I'm surprised they decided to release another teaser that isn't just a clip from the show.

Faye still seems a bit off to me but that can be easily overlooked if the show owns. I’m getting a lot more cautiously excited but I’ve been down this Netflix road before and it’s turned out to be trash. The visuals in the trailer looked great, hopefully they didn’t cherry pick the few awesome scenes and the rest is awful.
