barely anyone actually even made it that far, they just saw a youtube upload of the scene
the show was boring and/or annoying and nothing else, I intended to watch the whole thing so I'd be able to shit on it properly but it just left me feeling extremely apathetic by episode 3 or 4
You didn't miss much. It was indeed boring, because despite only having ten episodes to work with, they stretched out all the (painfully unfunny) dialogue and inserted lots of pointless filler scenes. Repeatedly cutting to/from the Vicious plotline didn't help either.
She/ze was different from anime Ed, though: whiter (which they probably felt was OK because she's nominally trans) and, more importantly, a show-off theatre brat (as I said in my review) as opposed to a self-absorbed, free-spirited weirdo. So if you dislike them both, you're disliking different things.
And she was only in it for a minute at the end anyway, so they could have knocked it out of the park and it wouldn't have made a difference.
she was also setting up the villain from the movie, coming in at the end of a scene whose anime equivalent is one of the most serious in the show, and lacked the episode of build-up/introduction which the character got the in the anime
there also weren't as many of the wacky characters prior to her, most of them got toned down or chanted completely
I can't "prove" it, because they'll never admit their true intentions, but I'm convinced that having her do her little wacky routine in Spike's face just after he's had everything taken from him (and no longer has any reason to live) was a final, deliberate "frick you" to the character and the fans.
it was clearly made by people who had zero experience with the original show and thought anime = wacky bullshit
aside from the terrible casting, the real nail in the coffin was the first live action promo they did where john cho spike's only dialogue is how much he wants ramen and how he didn't get to eat his ramen like he was naruto or some shit, that's when I knew for sure
it would've been one thing if it was just a 1-to-1 but with added diversity (even though the show had all kinds of blacks and browns all over it), but they made so many weird changes (including making previously non-white characters white) that it was obviously just helmed by someone who didn't give a shit a thought they knew better
Well, they all claimed they watched the anime (which I actually believe, though John Cho for one clearly wasn't paying much attention) and they loved/respected it and referred back to it constantly during the remake's development. So if you take that at face value, then they tried their best and the show's utter awfulness was purely down to their incompetence. I don't buy that, though. My review was essentially an attempt to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the remake was a product of malice, not just incompetence or even indifference.

It's just strange because they go out of their way to give Katerina, the b***h from the first episode, some whole-cloth new backstory about being a rich girl who shacked up with a crook, instead of just having her and Asimov be a Desperado reference, which doesn't necessarily ruin that story, but then they took that character, who was clearly Mexican or at the very least South American as she even speaks Spanish in the original Japanese, and turned her into a basic white girl
And the side characters in the netflix version are already a bunch of international no-name actors so it just begs the question of why

Given the immaturity/obvious political leanings of the writers, my guess is they just wanted to have Faye call some rich white guy in this universe a "total dick", and so they had to cast a white girl. They wouldn't have cared about or maybe even noticed the anime's Desperado homage. It's completely stupid, but when you consider they also inserted toilet "humour" throughout...
Also, there was a bit of a Maori flavour to some of the casting, because the whole thing was made in New Zealand (which is another issue), and those were the most readily available "ethnics", I guess...

Also, in many cases I'm sure they just changed stuff just to change stuff - e.g. changing the object of Pierrot le Fou's phobia from cats to dogs. >Look, Ma - I'm a writer!
She absolutely, objectively, 100%, indisputably, inarguably, vary much was. I like Ed in the original cartoon, I actively wanted her to die in the few second clip I saw of her in this show.
Ed's casting is the crown israeliteel of this shitshow. They thought it was more important to cast someone who has a made-up gender to respect the ambiguity of Ed's than it was to cast a fricking child instead
it's not ambiguous at all, and even if you think it is, the end of her first episode has faye screaming "oh, you're a girl!" because she really needed to get the kid into a bath
It is absolutely ambiguous. Ed is androgynous and is often mistaken for a boy, and she even has a boy's name. In your picture she has to correct the lady because she was mistaken for a boy.

Holy frick have a nice day, you're just a blind dumb c**t, don't pretend the rest of us are as oblivious about Ed as you are
The anime was also garbage that tried to force in a plot in the last 2 episodes. Children only like it because it was one of the 4 dubbed anime they had.
'Blue' is a great song though.
I agree. I watched cowboy bebop for the first time a couple years ago and I was not impressed. It’s definitely a “you had to be there” show because otherwise it’s just an aimless show about poorgays in a spaceship. Then spike dies.
To be fair, there's not much overlap between women with big enough tiddies to look like an anime girl and women with acting chops. >But muh cosplay model
Yeah, she looks just right when making a static pose that she can airbrush and take a million photos until she's just right.
Of course, there were a lot bigger problems about the portrayal than "boobies aren't gazonkazonks".
>To be fair, there's not much overlap between women with big enough tiddies
there's likely 5 million girls in the world with perfect higher-end b cups that would look accurate in a pushup
Faye isn't all that stacked, she just has perfect breasts
This b***h:
They just have shitty costume department
is barely working with anything, and she's too stocky body-structure wise
probably because she's a mexican girl and they aren't typically 5'7'' and lean
"To be fair", they should've just cast a taller, thinner, half asian chick
Cause we're not allowed to have sexpots on tv anymore >3 decades ago: flyover state spinsters b***h about big booba on tv >current year: coastal shithole wine aunts b***h about big booba on tv

One Piece wasn't much better if I'm honest, and I love One Piece.
Some anime simply can't be made into live action., the difference is Cowboy Bebop absolutely could and they fricked it up.
One piece up until the show stopped was the best they could have done with the material and if was still pretty mediocre, so I dread to think what they'll do with the other more insane aspects later on in the series.
I'd have stopped thinking about it long ago too if I hadn't reviewed it (because E;R didn't): https://youtu.be/Erb2x5SQHd8
Wonder who'll be the first actor/person involved with the show to admit it was fricking terrible and an insult to the fans?
Ed was no worse than she is in the cartoon.

Yes, your image is a good example of the ambiguity of Ed's gender.

Ed was the least of the show's problems, tbh
I don’t see how that’s possible. I cannot imagine hating that character even more.
It was kino, chudcels
The creator of the anime hated it. Not that that'll matter to you, of course.
The anime was also garbage that tried to force in a plot in the last 2 episodes. Children only like it because it was one of the 4 dubbed anime they had.

why is faye so fricking fat lol
They just have shitty costume department
I'd smash it.
it gets much worse once women hit their 30s
still not hot enough to be faye

I knew it be forgotten like most of these things.
I'd never watch the live-action Cowboy Bebop because it's an example of the original being so good that I'd rather just re-watch the anime.
A wise decision. (The 2001 film is good too, though, if you haven't seen it.)
At least we got a new Seat Belts album out of it

how could Juan Piss ever be kino in any form?
If they had tried harder, this could have been what One Piece ended up being for them.
