Granted I'm going second-hand, but a lot of what I've heard about Bebop makes it sound to me like it could at the very least make the transition to western live action a hell of a lot more gracefully than something like Ghost In The Shell. Mind, that's a low bar, so who knows.

The Colonel posted:the parts of cowboy bebop that stuck with me the most are the visuals and the animation was a pretty large part of that that i don't really trust a live-action netflix thing to recapture dudes in modern clothes shooting guns and doing martial arts and being sad is all very doable in live action

I can't think of any live action film that has the right mix of of real word grit and scifi stuff the way that Bebop does Maybe District 9? But then Chappie and that Matt Damon movie were all weird and hosed up, so even that guy couldn't replicate it. Not to mention I have to assume all the weird episodic hijinks (the primary shared DNA with Champloo and Dandy) will be stripped out in favor of MATURE PRESTIGE FORMAT CRIME DRAMA. And the fact that I can count the number of American produced TV shows with what I would describe as "good action" on one hand. I dunno being cynical is lazy and easy but fuckin, sometimes it's justified

I thought my sound wasn't working when i clicked that trailer, lmao. Yoko Kanno is probably the most important part of bebop, and there's no mention of her anywhere

The real MVP of Cowboy Beebop is Yoko Kanno and the fact that even the best they could do couldn't come close to the lighting- in- a bottle magic she performed with the anime ost leave me preemptively underwhelmed.

Well, obviously, it's no longer gonna be an animation. It's not visually tied to being in animation the way something like Mind Game or squishy girl girl shows or w/e are though. e; well ed is squishy but besides that i don't remember the mushroom episode well but i remember hating it so hopefully they cut it

also to me animation going for a filmic style is cooler than a b-list sci-fi tv show looking like a b-list sci-fi tv show not even saying that live action bebop will be good or bad just im not really interested in it

I was going to say the money spent on Cowboy Bebop would be much better used to give Watanabe a new show, but apparently he is already making a show for Netflix.

I just dont see them adapting episodes like Jupiter Jazz or maybe Speak Like A Child which are the bebop episodes that really matter to me, so yeah I'm just not really interested in that.

Anyone ever watch that folding ideas YouTube talking man on Evangellion? The show kinda frustrated me that when I first watched it because as some kind of teen more than several years ago I was totally unprepared to actually engage with the metaphors and meaning behind the series and how it built up to the climax. I guess it just goes to show how important critical tools are to understanding media, and makes a statement about audience (like me) who often have trouble engaging with any of the subtext and get wrapped up in the text. Anyways I thought the Folding Ideas video was great and gave a very clear summary of the show and why the ending made sense considering the subtext, and offered an explanation for how the movie made sense on several levels despite diverging slightly from the show. (I was one of those people who was put off by the original ending of the show when I first watched it. ) That's my Eva comment! Thanks for reading!

Folding Ideas' take is, like a lot of western anime critics in general, ridiculously audience-focused so try not to take it as just like, the text, form your own thoughts on what eva was trying to say, 'cause thats what art be

Endorph posted:Folding Ideas' take is, like a lot of western anime critics in general, ridiculously audience-focused so try not to take it as just like, the text, form your own thoughts on what eva was trying to say, 'cause thats what art be I guess so! I think that he had a lot of points about the authorial intent of the work which was neat. It's also nice to hear other people's opinions about stuff you enjoy, and I think his opinion elevated my own.

The better opinions/reviews often do that, even if you disagree with them. I think it's part of the reason that to this day I often still visit music and film review sites. Well, that and to discover if there are cool things out there I've missed. It's also the reason that I keep going to forums like CineD, NMD and TBB and just lurking, because there's a ton of things I want to watch, read and listen and such.

hadn't watched anything for a while but just caught up with ssss.gridman and run with the wind, and my very in depth analysis of those shows is that they're p cool and I like them e: also karakuri circus is better than I expected going in Personal_Nirvana posted:The real MVP of Cowboy Beebop is Yoko Kanno and the fact that even the best they could do couldn't come close to the lighting- in- a bottle magic she performed with the anime ost leave me preemptively underwhelmed. yea what I really remember about cowboy bebop is the ost, not as much the show itself anymore. the music was (and still is) so good Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Nov 29, 2018 |
