In the original show, there is a great amount of nuance that creates the complex characters of Spike, Jett, Faye and the rest of the crew. With such an iconic classic as “Cowboy Bebop,” these types of small differences become easy to spot for enthusiastic fans. While watching the first episode, I found myself constantly muttering, “That’s not how Spike would react,” “That’s not what Spike would say,” or some other remark along those lines.

So much so that “it’s not even Cowboy Bebop anymore,” as long-time fan Lena Pochendorfer (grade 11) said. The atmosphere and mood of the live action show are painfully different from the original. Despite having a seemingly fun and upbeat concept, “Cowboy Bebop” dives deeper into a strong message of the past and acceptance. During the show, we learn about the individual stories of each crew member and how they arrived on their ship, the Bebop, while they hunt criminals through the galaxy. “Cowboy Bebop” follows the journey of Spike Spiegel (John Cho) and his crew, Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), Ed (Eden Perkins), Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) and a corgi named Ein, as they traverse space as bounty hunters. As many skeptics commented, “You’re gonna carry that weight,” referencing a catchphrase from the original show. As the anime is one of the classics and because of Netflix’s bad history with live action anime adaptations, a wide variety of reactions were aroused from its fans. 19, a 10-episode live action version of “Cowboy Bebop,” an anime dating back to 1998, was released on Netflix. *This review covers only the first episode of the live action.
