Jesus christ this show is stupid.
The whiniest main character I have ever seen who at least once an episode has a monologue about how useless he is and behaves completely irrationally.
The time travel only sometimes has consequences when it fits the story.
I am dumbfounded how a show this bad could possibly have such a high rating. Even if you try your hardest to ignore inconsistencies the show hits you with more and more ridiculous plotholes.
I wanted to like this, a few of the characters are pretty interesting but it is just too dumb too handle.
Animation is pretty poor and soundtrack is uninspired but those are the shows least problems.
Not to mention that the main character is 26 years old and is trying to have a relationship with a 14 year old girl. It's really uncomfortable.

A lot of humour, the assassin reminiscent of Archer, Hit-Monkey delivers a strong first season. Besides Deadpool the only mature Marvel content I can think of. Of course the premise is bonkers but if that's your thing give this show a shot. I hope they get renewedm.
This is not the Cowboy Bebop that made the anime so special. And let's be real, if it would have been exactly the same people would hate on it as well. This show never stood a chance of getting fair reviews from fans of the original.
I loved the original, and while this isn't as special as the anime it is entirely enjoyable. The kept the style, the utter coolness of the original and improved on the humour and action while losing some of it's depth. Which makes it more accessible and an easy watch. Casting is surprisingly good, I was surprised that John Cho actually worked as well as he did and the chemistry between the main characters works great. I disliked the actor that played Vicious at first but he grew on me. I am happy this exists and hope more people give it a chance, just keep your expectations in check. I was ready to hate it but was pleasantly surprised and so might you be, so give it a shot.
There is one big flaw though. While the casting of our favorite character is spot on, there just isn't enough screen time of Ein.
