the anime packed spike’s entire backstory into a wordless ninety-second montage and no more needed to be said on it

One of the best features of Cowboy Bebop is that they don't waste time on unnecessary details and I really wish other tv shows would take the hint and do the same.

Hah. I think the voice she uses at the very start is an affected, extra cutesy voice. She sounds more normal later on. But yeah, Japanese ladies have very high voices more often than not.

I was more confused by their poor attempt to hide her identity. Like, sis, your picture’s all over the internet and you can still see her face during the shots of her conducting. lol

I’m wondering about her comment that they only use 10% music from the anime. I know there’re completely new compositions for this, so I wonder if she meant that only 10% is re-recorded versions of old songs and the other 90% is original (:aaa:) or if they literally use the old recordings only 10% of the time (it’s probably this.)

Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.

Ein is in the show, Ed is definitely not but the show accounts keep being like "Ed fans mayhaps will have a nice SURPRISE in this show ; ) " which means that they definitely did something stupid and it is 100% not going to be the Ed from the anime. Maybe a hologram of Ed will appear briefly in the background or they will rename a computer "3D" and it will say something funny and then Spike will say "Computers, just ain't my thing..."

I don't think Ed will show up but I do think Radical Edward will be part of an episode or two. I also think this is going to be multiple seasons and Ed will be part of those but I could be completely wrong.

Ed owns and her final episode / goodbye is probably one of the better sequences in the original show if not the best.

That's the impression I got, that they're aiming for two seasons to cover the original show's spread of storylines. And Ed didn't show up until close to ten episodes in then.

I was a lot more concerned by lack of Ed when I figured the show was intended as a one-and-done.

A troll so fine that I am pulling a spoiler x-post from the other thread:

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:

I actually really disliked the character when I caught random episodes on the first airing. But going back and rewatching, Ed is really the thing that makes Bebop work. The main characters are all so broken and jaded by their pasts that the show needs someone who is unbounded by their own.

But they take it a step further and have Ed realize that living only for the moment is just as bad, once they meet their father. Ed and Ein are kind of the only characters who actually grow and learn anything: leaving the others was the only way they could take control of their future.
:allears:

It seems strange to want to preserve the original oeuvre of the anime while subtracting the one element that makes it all work together.

The original is a show about broken people and how they cope with their past looming over them, it would be cruel to remove the one person who actually moves on.

Seems likely Ed will be teased at the end of the season. Ed doesn't turn up into pretty far into the original show, so adding a new character would be a good way to shake up the second season.

Ehhh, those scenes are cheesy, but I've already set my expectations for "edgier CW production," so... it hits that mark?
I kinda want to see a clip of a fight scene with the music blaring to get a feel for the bigger scenes, not the little in-between stuff.

The impression that clip gives, I have no idea if it’s reflected in reality, is that she’s very shy and not confident in her appearance and how she sounds. Which, she’s a composer not an actor or professional speaker, that would be very normal.

Also re cutesy voices, seconding the dude who said that people drop that in normal interaction after a while. It is a kind of default mode though, when I was at uni in Beijing half our class was Japanese and it weirded all the rest of us out until we realised it was just an affectation / social coding thing.
