one time Gun Nut Pal dragged me to a gun show and we spent a decent chunk of it going "d00d that animu guns"
Besides the whole insecurity about animation, the reason these directors go for anime is to find the next big thing after capeshit despite anime being an entirely different beast compared to superhero comics.Im sure it has been asked before, but is there a reason why directors are more fascinated with turning anime, cartoons, etc into love actions? Besides the (rather stupid) belief that animation is just for kids, I can't really see any reason to spend so much money on a film that will not fully capture the beauty or art of the show they are replicating from. Sure Cowboy Bebop isnt as outlandish compared to Dragonball or Monster Hunter but it has a certain noir tone to it that would be difficult to capture.
I just feel that making an animated movie would be the better choice, but it feels like Hollywood now a days want to see who could take the biggest crappiest dump on Japanese shows and make hardcore fans ree for all eternity.
I wouldnt be surprised if Hollywood tries their hand on a live action My Hero Academia or Demon Slayer.
This is one area Cowboy Bebop is actually behind the curve by several decades in the science fiction medium. Especially when compared to sci-fi novels of yesteryear.
Funny now not poking a bee hive results in less stings.
There's more to the article but it's a glorified ad.
This fucking guy lol.
That's rad.
True, I read The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury last year and it mixes sci fi with the then present day at times, but that's not really something you see very often onscreen prior to Bebop.
Japan is also the only country thus far to entirely recreate tanks accurately for a cartoon. GuP's attention to detail is quite amazing.
Anime and western cartoons had been doing it since at least the mid 70ies. Live-action TV and movies even longer going back to the 50ies. As science fiction and even fantasy understand you don't need to change everything to go from real life-ish fiction to sci-fi and/or fantasy fiction. When all thats need to be change is just one component of the setting to do so.
Rarely do they go all in on it like Cowboy Bebop does though.
I am really getting the feeling you haven't watch or read all that much anime and manga this this statement.
Or our definitions of what we're even talking about are different.
fans:
Dude sounds like he doesn't even like the original show or movie. If so, why is he defending this netflix shit?
he's bought into the whole idea of "if you don't like new thing, then you're basement dwelling, boob loving, white male conservative, and i must oppose you."
He is a twitch streamer, so cheese pizza is a given.
Didn't make it, got is from some coomer subreddit about nude celebs.
Well they'll have better success with this one given the bat-shit insanity of that fanbase.
No fucking clue what they were thinking. I'm curious how bad her acting is as well if she has the bodytype of a generic short latina.
Isn't Spike ethnically ambiguous? I think the writers had just chosen that name because it sounded cool.
What is with these people and equating sex with power and shit? The more poon you slay the stronger you are?
I'm betting he religiously defends Cutes as well.
What a fucking prick.
For all these people's Woke feminist posturing, it always comes down to a woman's only value is her vagina and man's only value is how many times he's stuck his dick in one, how progressive.
It's always because male feminist allies are projecting their insecurities since they only ever care for female empowerment because they believe it would get them easy pussy.
