@@ienjoyramen9064 the original anime was only one season. That’s not an excuse. If the original show could be one season, then there is zero reason not to make the remake fit all the original episodes into one season; aside from that the writers didn’t *want* to. Which they didn’t. Netflix writers are known for not wanting to stick to the source material. Look at the Witcher. It only stayed as true as it did because Henry had pull with the producers and was able to essentially bully them into staying at least somewhat on course. And even he left eventually cuz of how much they had started changing things and how much MORE they wanted to change it.

Bebop is my favorite anime. It's genuine, real, funny, happy, sad; but most importantly its somber. It will make you cry and smile at the same time. The live action was just jokes. They were to scared to touch on any of the emotions that made bebop timeless and loved. It boggles my mind how 2d cartoons can make me more emotional than actual live people.
