Champloo is more heavily slanted towards comedy which unfortunately ends up making the more dramatic episodes land with a thud. And when Champloo's comedy is off like the zombie episode or the Christian cult with six shooters it can quickly turn to cringe. I think one of the unsung heros of the Bebop production staff has to be Keiko Nobumoto. People tend to look at Bebop and focus on Watanabe's directorial style or Yoko Kanno's music but not as much on Nobumoto's hand in writing the screenplay. While I don't care too much for Wolf's Rain her other stuff tends to be stellar especially when she collaborates with Watanabe. The dialogue as written feels really removed from typical anime dialogue and its especially amplified when you throw the solid voice performances on top. It's sounds a lot more like natural casual conversations.

Both series are very episodic but Champloo feels - and I don't even even mean this in a bad way - kinda pointless? It just doesn't have the same character moments as Bebop and it definitely feels not as engaging.

Champloo is a vibes anime. Its more about vibing with the sick soundtrack and the cool action. It is mostly pointless! The trio never quite reach the same interpersonal connection that you feel the Bebop team has. In my personal opinion the first episode of Champloo is one of the best, and I probably wouldnt put the first episode of CBB in the top 5. I think thats a problem because it starts off really strong but then has a really uneven run after. I think the a lot of the 2 parters are pretty good like Mugen's backstory 2 parter (the drum track that plays as he walks towards his ex and brutally destroys her new squeeze is amazing) and the final one. I also liked the baseball episode and the one where Mugen gets caught up with a ninja. Overall it is a tier below cowboy bebop but I have a soft spot in my heart for Champloo.

Champloo is nowhere near as thematically rich as Bebop, but the animation is beautiful, and the soundtrack is fantastic (RIP Nujabes), so I still have a soft spot for it.

And it is funny. It's really funny. The baseball episode alone is funnier than almost anything in Bebop.

Bebop is a successful amalgamation of like 7 genres, not sure there will ever be anything like it. Also due to that and inevitable Netflix budget constraints I’m doubtful the live action can do it justice but I guess we’ll find out.

Ballz posted:Finished my rewatch of the show last night, it was as good as I remembered it. Going to watch the movie tonight and when I went to pull the DVD out of my box set (the original set from the early 2000s) I had forgotten at one point I printed out a custom cover that was in line with the TV series DVDs: Good news, everyone! I found a CD-R I burned in 2004 that contains this (and other) fan-made DVD covers. I actually had three variations of the movie's cover, so if anyone is keen on making their long out-of-print DVD of the movie look more in line with their long out-of-print original DVD releases, click here to go hog wild.

I come across stacks of CD-Rs and CR-RWs I burned 15/20 years ago every now and again, with episodes of poo poo like Witch Hunter Robin or Trigun on them, along with albums pulled from Limewire or Napster. Ah, memories...

Part of me feels obligated to upload this all to the Internet Archive or something, it’s a small sliver of Internet history that’s mostly forgotten. Also found: fansubs of Martian Successor Nadesico. In RealMedia format.  If nothing else I’ve been copying them off their CD-Rs, because who knows how much longer those things will last.

Downloading Evangelion-Engel in high quality MPEG-1 format at 56K, it takes up an incredible 55MB, which is the size of an entire anime episode in ASF or RM format https://vimeo.com/327841102

I've been watching this as well. I was never that crazy about it but re-watching has made me realise how good it really was at its best. Speak Like A Child definitely stands out to me as a truly great half hour of television, the peak of the show in my opinion It seems like all my favourite episodes are mostly comedic. I think that's what it does best, this strange sometimes wacky comedic tone slightly disinterested in this much wider complex world they've made up. Little casual bits in the lives of these bored characters. I don't really like the movie much for that reason, I think. It's played more like a straight action movie and I don't find it representative of the show's best stuff (that's also probably why I don't like most of the episodes that similarly just try to be like standard action/sci-fi). Space Dandy I basically like every episode of, or almost every episode. Just extremely whimsical and stupid comedy with proper in-depth animation. We may not look upon its like again...

The gender stuff in Space Dandy can get pretty yikes at times. The Space Hooters recurring gag is loving terrible, and blatantly an excuse to shove decollitage on the screen.

Just finishing the rewatch of the show in anticipation of the anime, I agree with what previous posters have said in that there is nothing that really sticks out as a favourite episode as much as it being a character story throughout. It's the only anime I've particularly enjoyed all the way through and its largely the music that's the biggest part of it. It looks like the anime adaption is going to be pretty on the nose and I for one am all for that, it's certainly got the style, can't wait till November 19th!

Sounds like the anime will remain unsurpassed, and the live action remake marketing blitz will be the best thing to introduce new fans to the anime https://twitter.com/CharlesPulliam/status/1459255434016083970 https://twitter.com/mistermainevent/status/1459179658449014784 https://twitter.com/clintworthing/status/1459177940550356995
