Cowboy Bebop is getting a lot of attention right now!

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details about the debut season of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop.

Zoe Hewitt The age-old struggle between original source material and creative interpretation rears its head again with Netflix’s “Cowboy Bebop”, a new take on the acclaimed Japanese anime originally released in 1998. Costume designer Jane Holland used the original series’ design aesthetic as a springboard for her work in the live-action reboot, which is already the subject of fan scrutiny for not precisely replicating the animated version.Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) served as a lightning rod for debate for costume as well as casting.

1998’s “Cowboy Bebop” stands as maybe the most revered piece of anime this side of “Akira” and “Ghost in the Shell.” Netflix has boldly gone there anyway, adapting the animated sci-fi-noir-Western to a live action thriller with John Cho in the lead as brooding intergalactic bounty hunter Spike Spiegel. Like all private eye yarns, this one revolves around a love affair gone wrong amidst a sea of questionable characters. But it’s mostly an excuse to hang out with a trio of mismatched, cranky, heart-of-gold space cowboys as they flit from one bad-idea job to the next.This “Cowboy Bebop” does a couple of things well.

John Cho is ready to jam. The actor straps on his cowboy boots for , premiering Friday on Netflix, and only ET has an exclusive sneak peek from the anticipated series.Based on the popular anime, the space Western follows three bounty hunters, aka “cowboys,” all trying to outrun the past.

Netflix’s “Cowboy Bebop” has the herculean task of adapting one of the crown jewels of Japanese animation. Based on the anime series by director Shinichirō Watanabe, the new live-action adaptation cherrypicks the greatest hits of the original, while significantly expanding the roles of the supporting characters to the adaptations’ detriment.

John Cho speaks on a discussion panel for his upcoming new series, Cowboy Bebop, during the 2021 Vulture Festival held at The Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday (November 13).
