I don't think she's a regular character

I think I hate every single second of this. Every line dialogue, every cut, every bit of delivery, the tone, the rhythm, just everything.
(Well, I think Shakir is doing a good Jet, but it's edited so choppily that no one really comes across well in this.)

Believe me that as a nearly 40 year old man I don't say this lightly, but:
bruh
Maybe the most galling thing is that it's got some good ingredients, the cast is generally good, but it's like the notes are being played, but played in the wrong order or out of tune or with too much yammering on top. The first episode is pretty much the plot of Asteroid Blues, but twice as long, and not much value is added in that extended runtime.
Also making Jet an absent father is, uh, a choice
That Ed shot does have some big "Play It Loud!" energy.
So help me God, I forgot what thread I was in, and I thought these were screenshots from, like, 7th Guest or something
I have continually maintained, and have never encountered a morsel of evidence that implies the contrary, that Netflix hates anime and has active scorn for it. They put anime on their service because it gets views, but their engagement with it is about as cynical, disgusting, and devoid of passion as Fuller House. That anything good actually shows up on their service, or gets made in partnership with them, are happy accidents that are entirely due to the passion and effort that their partners have. Whoever runs their anime side of things and anime-adjacent projects like this, their worldview of the medium is stuck in the early 90s, and their understanding of it is as shallow as fans were back then. Only we had excuses for our ignorance; Netflix doesn't.Who approved these scripts?
I could see live-action Ed saying "I am Astar, a robot from Planet Danger"That Ed reminds me of those child safety commercials you'd see on basic cable in the mid 2000s...
"And here are some tips to help keep you on the safe side!"
This feels like the first positive review to me.I could see live-action Ed saying "I am Astar, a robot from Planet Danger"
The thing is, cracking wise and having seemingly irreverent conversations isn't necessarily out of character for Cowboy Bebop. It's very much something the original show partook in from time to time. The difference here is:I said elsewhere that the entire thing reeks of Marvel movies. The script THINKS it's super clever, and it loves to revel in how funny and smart in it is. Only problem is it's not; they have some truly awful dialogue, and everyone is a smarmy Marvel character cracking wise, too cool to deliver dialogue in their own show. It's a nightmare.
