Listen, I’m not really a fan of anime, but when it’s good, it’s good. If it’s good, then it doesn’t need a live action, big-budget, western adaptation.
Cowboy Bebop was great on its own merits and doesn’t need to be legitimized. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So, a Korean, black guy and a Mexican walk into a bar? (I'm another anime virgin so guess I'll have to watch the original, looks like fun gun play and M79s) The series is incredible, it's very western in style, and it's not likely that anyone who didn't know would peg it as stereotypical anime (if they weren't an anime fan anyway). If bounty hunters in space, evil space governments creating experimental supersoldiers, and crime syndicates sounds like an interesting hook, it has it. |

For you guys who think Spike was miscast because they picked an Asian, the animation character design was based on this actor, in this role.
 Attached File"His appearance was primarily based on the main protagonist of Tantei Monogatari, Shunsaku Kudo, portrayed by famous Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda." "In Volume 3 of the manga, Cowboy Bebop, story by Hajime Yatate and illustrated by Yutaka Nanten, a trucker describes Spike as Asian using an outdated term." https://cowboybebop.fandom.com/wiki/Spike_Spiegel#Appearance Jett is ambiguous. I always assumed he was mixed-race, with some black in there. Faye should be Chinese, she was born in Singapore. But she's obviously mixed-race as well, since her eyes are green. In this future, the Earth is a wreck. People spread out into the solar system and there was a lot of genetic blending going on. So, griping about the race of the actors is pretty lame. Bitch about their physicality not matching, sure. But most human beings aren't shaped like anime characters. |

I dont expect anyone to look like anime characters but the guy in your photo has that lanky look, as well as that really casual effortless look. If you look at the movie poster from the animated version it looks like they are all in a police lineup/ booking photo and don't give a fuck. Where the main pic from the live action one has them walking ein with a purpose like they are going to save the world or some shit. Individually all these little nitpicks are just that but taken as a whole you get the impression that the creators didn't even watch the animated series and simply don't get it. The character races were probably the nitpick i care about the least and kind of fit anyway but again just adds to the general sense of this is just too far off the mark. We'll see I'd be happy to be proven wrong and be regalled with exquisite acting and a truly artistic sense of cinematography but i have doubts. |

What are you talking about? Spike and Vicious both work for a Chinese mafia group and Spike looks like Bruce Lee in all of his fight scenes. Spike and Jet almost always eat Chinese or Japanese food (when they have food) on the Bebop. Chinese culture is clearly widespread on Mars and several other colonies. I am of the opinion (like several others here) that most, if not all of the crew of the Bebop are mixed race due to the nature of the future they live in. The only character that may be strictly "white" is Ed but given her absurd name, she may be have a mixed ancestry too. |

Live action fucks that all up. It's not even that. Anytime there's an "adaption", they use it as an excuse to fuck with everything. They fuck with the story. The plot lines. The character arcs. The character persona. The race. The gender. Anything they can fuck with, they fuck with. So you end up with a fuck up. Every producer/writer/director under the sun that gets an adaption thinks they're fucking Shakespear and has to rewrite the production in their own image, and it's always a disaster. |

They should have cast a guy who would look like spike, rather than just casting some Asian guy. I don't recall really ever thinking of Spike as an Asian guy. He doesn't look Asian in the show. I could go with tall lanky mixed guy, but this dude just looks like a guy cosplaying as Spike, and not like, "Oh, that IS spike!" Like for instance, Henry Cavill IS the Witcher, he was made for the roll. They needed to cast someone who is the embodiment of Spike, and that is more than the outfit.

Yeah, I agree there. Though, someone posted a video of the guy Spike's design is based off of, so it looks like there are Japanese guys who have the look too. I am going to guess that Netflix only cast Cho to have a "big name" headlining it. They didn't really care about anything but that and considering how "woke" they are, they'd never cast a white actor even if they could get a well known white actor. Also, the fact that Edward is not in it makes me think that all of the humor will be gone and it will only focus on the serious story lines. This show is going to suck. |

I don’t know, the only anime I watch are Bebop and GITS and most of the main characters in both look Caucasian to me. Jet Black could be black, but I’d say he could be white or black, or mixed. I always felt he was white for some reason. Either way, that dorky looking guy playing Spike is a shitty casting choice, and the live action Faye is no where near hot enough.

Just like those 2.5 good star wars movies. And that one Highlander movie. And that one Matrix movie. Allegedly these aren't going to be remade episodes, but brand new ones. Which at least keeps it away from the original stuff. Though the only reason I would have tuned in was to watch Mushroom Samba or Pierrot Le Fou's ridiculous triple kick. Probably can't resist the soundtrack if Yoko Kanno is in though. |

Osamu Tezuka, the guy responsible for inventing the Japanese style originated the style with the idea of making the race of characters ambiguous. So, it is a given that the race of a character can be hard to tell just by their design in Japanese anime. As a result, you kind of have to use context clues. For instance all of the main cast of GITS have Japanese names and work for a secret Japanese government agency. So you can assume that they are all supposed to be Japanese unless otherwise stated. |
