Cowboy Bebop: The Lost Session

Before this new version of Netflix was released, this little promotional short film was made that is quite random, but interesting. It was made in the form of a grindhouse-style production, like an action film for exploitation cinema. Although it does not have a plot to follow, it is entertaining in its 2 minutes of duration. The production was done quite practically as an independent film and the sweeps make everything jump from one place to another. What does give it quite a bit of energy is the use of the theme song in the opening of the original anime. The Lost Session doesn't have much to salvage because it is only a small look at the Netflix series, but it was a rather curious way to attract the public's attention. My final rating for this short film is a 6/10.

Loved the Anime series, but I guess I am not one of those people that have to sit and compare anime to this live action. Watching this live action with no bias, just seeing it as a first timer of the lore was imply a great story with cool cinematic elements. The relationship with Spike and Jet is endearing and has a great comedic energy. Throw in Faye and its even more of an "Odd" ball trio. I love how they made the bebop as the fourth main character.

Great dialogue-back and forth, Enjoyable action. For the people calling in woke, I don't see it. Its just reflecting more modern times since the original was made a long time ago.

Overall a great fun stylistic show with great comedic moments and some badassery.

I have watched and rewatched this show over the years. And listened to the music. I think some purists are just over criticizing this show. When I watch something, I watch to see how well they have preserved the characters even if they have changed the dynamics. However, in this case I didn't look for the same characters of the anime, but how well it would work if they were real life characters. This is good to watch for the fans. People that may not know the story all that well may not really get the nuances, but the adapted stories work really work well for this.

Loved everything about this masterpiece. From casting music, and sets to filming, effects, story, and acting everything was spot on. Really hoping there would be a second season.

I have watched none of the list of previous Bebop shows before just now finishing the ten episodes of season one. There is a lot I liked about binging this show. I found it clever, compelling, witty. I got into the characters and thought the acting was very good. It's a masup of so many things it's hard to believe how well it was written, edited and came out amazing. From James Bond to westerns to The Mod Squad to Star Wars there was a very creative nostalyand then add crime noir, Gangsters, Mike Hammer, 1920s flappers, jazz, it was all slick, fun and fairly unpredictable.

I'm very picky about TV and actually watch very little of it. But a kept cruising past this Netflix show because I don't like anime. I'm very glad I watched a trailer and gave episode one a go. I hope a second season is in production.
