Given Singapore been an English crown colony until it's independence does open up the talent pool quite a bit if Netflix wasn't hell-bent on sucking Chinese flaccid micro-penis.

He talks about Bebop like its a pure comedy and keeps describing it as "weird" and "strange", when its one of the most relatables animes for a western audience. Of course you have some out there episodes, but overall I'd say bebop is very grounded.
When asked what his favorite episode he can't even say one, he cops out saying hes got a couple of favorite moments, which really sounds like he just said the only things he remembered. "The shower scene with the hermaphrodite and the time they spent 8 minutes looking for a Betamax".
Nigga watched Speak Like a Child and the thing he remembers the most about it is the Betamax treasure hunt?

That's pretty odd if you can't pick a favorite episode.
Mine would be Pierrot Le Fou because of how atmospheric it is and how much it stands apart from the rest of the series, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they change animation styles in that episode to make it darker and even more noir like?
Runners up would be Heavy Metal Queen and Toys in The Attic.

Tbf, if Harold and Kumar is any judge, he may have just been high throughout the late 90's and early aughts.

@Dom Cruise I can't quote your post. There's so many good episodes. Pretty much all of them are great. Bebop was a short and sweet series that thankfully was never ruined. Even the movie was pretty good even if the pacing dragged.
Put a gun to my head and I HAVE to pick a favorite I'd go with Ballad of Fallen Angels. After that then Sympathy for the Devil and Brain Scratch are very underrated episodes. Then the 2 part Real Folk Blues finale.

I don't think they're all great, there are a few meh episodes, but there's no outright bad ones and the great ones outweigh the meh ones.
Given the episodic nature of many of the episodes is why one can't help but long for more because even if the overarching story was done, it's easy to imagine room for many more side stories.

The only ones I would describe as 'meh' are the Faye-centric ones, Woogie Boogie Feng Shui, Heavy Metal Queen, and maybe Cowboy Funk? But they're not bad just not very re-watchable.

I'm not surprised since it's clear he's doing this show for the money which is understandable, but it says a lot about these shit adaptations when actors don't even check out the source material in the full context. Like fuck even actors in capeshit read some comics here and there to understand their characters.

It's not even a long show. I give someone a pass if it's something like Dragon Ball where there's literally thousands of hours of material to digest but Bebop was relegated to a 26 episode series and one movie. You could binge that in a weekend. There's no excuse.

Remember the internet rumor mill of the aughts when a large number of people were convinced there was going to be a Keanu Reeves Cowboy Bebop and a Halo movie directed by Peter Jackson?
can't believe its finally here.....in this form. From a completely open-minded perspective there's a lot less to mess up than n*tfl*x's One Piece adaptation. Just give a decent appealing space chase with a neo-noir mars and Yoko Kanno's lovable plagiarized jazz tunes. But we won't get that, we'll get color by numbers fanservice (not that kind) in a similar manner to how Mandalorian shoehorns enough references to get the CBR articles flowing. Where's Ed? Why is Spike not white (or even Jewish?) Jet being black is the least of my concerns here.
on another note, i need to rewatch Bebop soon, i've seen the first 3 eps countless times thanks to anime clubs, movie nights with the bros but i distinctly remember being disappointed with it by the ending, but that was mostly because i was watching all these classics back to back in 2012/13 expanding past the entry level shonen. I think it came down to being very episodic, which is something i'll be much more receiving of now, and i never cared for the character and personality of Ed in either japanese or english casting. Pretty unpopular opinion right there, i wish the series was fresher in my mind because i would give reasons why besides just not fitting. Favorite episode is probably the first 30 minutes of the movie. It translates nearly everything i loved about the series onto the big screen and i miss that approach since most recent anime franchise movies are strict adaptations of specific arcs.
I recommend anyone here to try Trigun, Berserk, Outlaw Star, Black Lagoon or GITS:Stand Alone Complex, watching them all over a winter was a fun time many years ago.

At the same time ADV and WETA were trying to get a live action Evangelion movie made but the deal fell through and ADV is no more. Though Richard Taylor still wants to work on one
Here’s hoping Netflix never tries

While a One Piece adaptation is gonna be in the air given Toei's reputation, an Evangelion movie is one that I can fucking guarantee Studio Khara is going to be hands-on involved with no questions asked, so it won't get woke on their watch. Keep in mind they only decided to start taking its localization into their own hands due to FUNimation's original dub of 3.0, even if it was because the producer misread the room of that one showing.
But it doesn't matter, we already have ourselves an Evangelion movie, so let's keep it that way.

I don't think those were just rumors, I think they were proposed projects that simply never happened.
It'd be fun to hop into alternate dimensions Rick & Morty style to see what all those proposed but failed live action anime projects from the 2000s would have been like had they happened.
Two I remember are Real Bought Highschool starring... Melissa Joan Hart and Astro Boy as a live action/animatronic hybrid directed by Genndy Tartakovsky as opposed to the animated movie that did get made.
Of all of them the Eva movie is the one that intrigues me the most since it got as far as concept art and inspired years worth of speculation and opinion, the fact that all that lead to nothing is a bummer.
I also really miss ADV, that company really personifies the 2000s anime boom to me.

If I remember correctly for that episode a different animation team was hired, or they were using some sort of psuedo 3d rendering for the animation. Honestly though it's hard to pick a favorite episode given about half the episodes are character driven for one specific crew member or just a random adventure. If I had to pick a favorite it'd be Waltz on Venus, Rocco didn't deserve it.

TBF to John Cho, I wouldn't be excited about a Netflix production either.

My theory is that Netflix and the western comics industry are intentionally ruining live action adaptations of anime. The idea is for the normies who have never watched anime before to watch the live action, and they will respond "if this cowboy bebop show sucks this much, the Chinese cartoon must suck even more"
This is a long term plan to ensure that the normies who have never watched anime to continue to never watch anime.
Anime and manga is competition to Hollywood/comics and we have reached the point where ignoring anime is no longer a viable option. They have done their financial calculations and the loss of ignoring anime is greater than the loss of sabotaging anime.
There's also the political/social engineering side of it. Hollywood can inject wokeness to any of their properties. A bit harder to inject wokeness into Chinese cartoons.
Also that latina faye wannabe is a massive retard

In fairness to John Cho, for me, it’s been almost two decades since I’ve seen Cowboy Bebop in full. (The last time I watched it was in the dubbed version and I almost fell asleep to it for some reason. Still, it does not change that the anime for its time actually felt like a unique program.)
If anything, I have to give credit to John for outright stating that he had “favorite moments” over watching it, because now I’m thinking about rewatching the anime for a second time around instead of actually having to download it on Netflix.
Though, I do wonder if the DVD versions of CB are still available to buy.

There's nothing wrong about not liking anime and not even knowing what Bebop is, but once you're cast as the main fucking character and you are getting paid millions of Hollywood big bucks, then jesus christ at least give the show a watch, familiarity with the source material is not a big thing to ask.
As Bruno pointed out a few posts ago, it's not like watching all of Dragon Ball or reading through Batman's entire DC Comics history, you can be done with Bebop in a day if you binge it. Cho sounded like he skimmed through the anime in an afternoon while looking at his phone
