HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

It was a good try, all they needed to work on was the script, acting, plotting, dialogue, cinematography, lighting etc

Yeah, usually they try to get as much out of them as they can before the crew can ask for more money

The fact that either one of them was updated at all after being left for dead though...

I guess Netflix will be left carrying that weight... of all the money they wasted on the adaptation. By which I mean about five dollars.

Oh weird so leaning WAY into camp and making the cinematography look like it was a weird green-screen composited mess didn't work?

I feel bad that John Cho was so passionate about being in it.

I think it generated a reasonable amount of attention for the original series. May have actually been 'successful' from a marketing perspective even though it sucked

I thought they said they were making another season. Show Ed at the end and ending on a cliffhanger definitely indicated they were

They had plans to continue it if they felt it did well enough.

It didn't do well enough.

Which is weird because Netflix usually has no problem lying about its numbers and counting a trailer playing on the main menu for 3 seconds as a view.

Netflix was always going to amp up a lovely movie with three big name Hollywood stars as their mega hit with a billion views before they'd give the same treatment to a half assed adaptation of a cult classic anime series.

It was probably a tough sell as it was, and the popular reaction making it a joke definitely left some exec with egg on their face.

bebop is also relatively expensive to make, being a sci-fi series where they sometimes go into space and which has a lot of action scenes. why make season 2 of it when they could probably get similar ratings for less effort from something else?

I forget, was that the recent yuri anime that ended with like an 80 year time skip to when the characters were dead? That was weird.

Maybe you're thinking of AdaShima, but that was in a BD bonus novel that was several post-series stories about them as adults.

Apparently Oda is actually involved with this project in some capacity so possibly a little more.

Not sure how well it’s actually going to work though (for example, from what I’ve seen stretchy limbs have never really looked that good in live action).

heck that's what my perspective usually is on these sorts of things. helps that the anime is also on netflix so it did result in some folks watching the series for the first time so if nothing else there's that
