It is in the style of film noir.

@@icollectstories5702 Oh no, yea I get that and it's totally badass. This isn't a quality judgement on the series itself, far from it. I wouldn't wanna live in MOST noir settings.

@@samwill7259 Just pointing out that if you like this sort of stuff, there's a lot more out there. Noir tends toward cynicism and dystopianism, and its clutter contrasts with the sterility and simple functionality of most stage/film/anime settings. I am troubled that I find noir more realistic, but perhaps I just need to clean up more often!

@@icollectstories5702 See that's the thing. I usually don't like cynicism in stories at all. I'm a hope-punk sort of guy for sure 99/100. However, Bebop is genius and a classic for a reason even someone like who wouldn't usually want anything to do with it can recognize it for what it is.

It's just a question of: Are the noodles gluten free & affordable; Do your space friends read Anais Nin, Bukowski, or Hemingway; Are they hiring engineers? The Bebopverse is on Earth a lot like Appleseed [The Manga,] & to be more fair colonial-Bop is more like Earth in the late 60s & 70s, just with tech. If Appleseed, Ghost In The Shell & Bebop is on the same continuum, it just wouldn't always be *that bad,* just especially ugly when a Syndicate member takes political office...

And the actual Energy released in that Explosion is what killed most people, not the debris. In fact, almost everyone on the side of Earth that was facing the Moon was immediately killed by this explosion of energy.

Hey I know this reference lol

@@micaiahfonken then your a Hoopy Frood.

Plus! No extra-terrestials...Expanse does end up having very subtle alien artifacts but no direct contact discovered. I personally love Hard Sci-fi with the absence of Aliens or if there are then they are only hinted at such a mysterious distant approach like 2001 A Space Odyssey.

AFAIK Shinichirō Watanabe has made a few series that either might or definitely exist in the same universe as Cowboy Bebop

Well there are shows like Firefly and Expanse that do fit into that same style of world building. But I do get you. A more in-depth look at this setting would be cool.

A series with a grown up Ed still wreaking havoc in the spaceways could work. And somehow, Einie being a datadog made him virtually immortal, so we'll never be without his fuzzy butt.

It's called Carole and Tuesday

Anime version not that live action cluster#$%$#

😂 facts

Omgosh, yes, please do!

This ^^ absolutely this.

Yep. More Sunrise

Yes, please 🙏

Yes please!!!

i suggest you do see the live action, its surprising how good it is ..

daniel LEVY 🤦🏽‍♂️ smh

daniel LEVY we're ok on that

@@daniellevy4104 As someone who just finished the anime... no... no it's not...

@@mizz1414 sure the anime is better, but this is its own thing , i take it like, Live-action universe, or the Anime-universe.. you can't expect things to be exactly the same in either universe.. also there are 4 different versions for U.S consumption .. so which anime did you watch?

Space Dandy is set there as well^^

@@jupamoers is it? wow! had no idea (but it felt/looked similar to CB)

so... it's like Red Faction and their "oxygen generators" (RF is pretty dope... the SyFy adaptation not so much >.>)

Yeah, if I remember correctly, C&T actually takes place _before_ Cowboy Bebop by nearly fifteen years, and while the gate incident isn’t brought up all that often, the status of Earth and the people remaining there being referred to as refugees really says a lot about Earth’s situation.

Samurai Champloo is the earliest of the timeline

Knowing the high quality of the series, budget constraints probably have condensed what might have been a longer series

You can also watch a spinoff (for lack of a better term) called Carol and Tuesday. Not the same genre, but the same universe.

@@pills- Actually! It’s not even the same medium let alone be the same genre. This Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop is the Tokusatsu adaptation of the 1998 anime. Anime and Tokusatsu are mediums.

Spoiler Its shitt

It has promise, but spends too much time focusing on and expanding minor characters (poorly). Also, the serialized nature of the Live Action series, as opposed to the Anime's more episodic approach, means the series has an obsession with tying events and characters together with the main plot which actually makes its universe feel smaller and less appealing than its inspiration. Also, the dialogue tends to swing from cringe to fanfic levels of amateur writing. That said, if you haven't seen the anime then it could be a fun little distraction for you. Otherwise, just stick to the original.

Worse thing was them living poor eine by himself :(

It really wouldn't have for the most part, as the anime obfuscated most of it with proper scene framing, which the show would have done. Frankly, the more I hear about the show the happier I am I skipped it.

Eh, The Expanse can pull off realistic gravity, so they just went lazy with it.

@@hawkticus_history_corner I enjoyed the Netflix adaptation, but yeah, the anime is much better

Some things, animation can just do better and cheaper, like zero-G

@@terongray1019 realistic gravity is EXPENSIVE

There are a few reasons for that: - The whole population of the solar system is propably < 1 billion. Splittered to heck. So not enough resources for a large undertaking - Earths gravity is high and the atmosphere is dense. It is a terrible place to ship goods off, if you got low gravity moons and asteroids - You have to look out for asteroids 24/7/365. A lot more then everywhere else. - The biggest asset - space to live on - is pretty useless with such a low population. And again, spsce rocks are bad for habitation - It is cheaper to build new habitats on existing planetoids. Also better connected.

Or maybe someone is infact doing something but not telling anyone. maybe a remnant of the old earth government that is allowing people to think its dying but are actually working to save it for their own use later.

It's all about the corporations. Earth has laws. Space does not...provided you don't let anyone develop a strong government.

Most of the other planets have a livable environment but not exactly ideal and they are mainly controlled ether by criminal or industrial groups with a thin illusion of government. If earth was made habitable it would have a significant amount of population and resources not dedicated to survival. Becoming the dominant industrial and military power.

The composition of the moon is very similar to Earth's crust: high in silicates and low in metals. You could probably structure silicates to be reflective, but I think it would absorb more energy than it reflected, which would make earth hotter. I would suspect the debris in orbit would already be doing just that. Cleaning up zillions of rocks moving at orbital velocity is very difficult and dangerous. I can't imagine being able to catch them without risking annihilation every second. This is Kessler Syndrome times a billion. If you have orbital capability, it's probably less risky to build on the frontier elsewhere. The tech used in Bebop, is, of course, fictional and inconsistent. So whether or not we agree upon what is realistic has no bearing on the show. But it you want to think about how dire the situation on earth would be, look up Kessler Syndrome.

I'd say you can tell a lot of people on the staff cared and wanted to closely follow the anime, and you can also tell an executive said 'no'

What's wrong with it?

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 it’s not my cup of tea. And that’s ok.

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 cool username btw.

_every decade has its spider-man_ ;)

a big mistake is that the gates are not fastern that ligth the are slower that ligth but realy fast

The relative positions of planet change constantly. Sometimes Mars is relatively close, sometimes it's on the other side of the Sun. There couldn't be set lanes made out of rings.

they are not flt you are rigth

they still use betamax

I feel like this is the first positive thing I’ve seen about the Netflix adaptation and it’s refreshing tbh

@@chrisrogers7105 ngl, with the except on of one thing really (end of the last episode, if you've seen the show, you know what I mean)- the Netflix series isn't that bad, as long as one is willing to see it as its own thing and not expect a slavish adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. Imo, the things that were changed- i.e. certain characters being less 90s eye candy, certain things having to be changed for real world practicality, and the fact this was produced during the pandemic, it's pretty good. And then I do feel some of the storytelling choices are improvements, especially Julia's arc. But I will freely admit, it's not the anime, and as a direct carbon copy of the original- it's horrible. But I'm willing to look past the parts where it isnt slavishly accurate to the original, because to me as long as Yoko Kanno is there, the Seatbelts perform Tank! And Spike Spiegel's walk is just right, I'm happy.

@@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment this is how i view all live action's, reboots, and remakes. Watch them as something standalone, don't compare to the originals, usually you will never be able to see it in a good light otherwise, (although i have seen some good live actions of anime - ruroni kenshin) i still have to fully watch the netflix version but initial takes might be a bit clouded as spike just doesnt feel as much of a cool cat bad ass as the original English VA (Steve Blum's voice),

I see the Netflix adaption as an alternate universe take on Bebop. So of course it's different. I can enjoy them both by keeping that in mind.

The Netflix doesn't matter now that it's canceled

> a bit woke Bro, if anything, the Netflix series is LESS woke than the original, like how they change Jet's backstory from "quit the police force because the entire department was thoroughly corrupt" to "left because a single bad apple framed him for corruption"

Except I didn't watch Bebob for 70s Buddy Cop, I watched it because it's a Noir show. Thats what bugs me the most about it. It was Noir, the entire thing was steeped in the tropes and stylings of Noir and you change it to anything else deeply undermines the entire premise of the story.

Havent seen the live action but i know the anime is superior

I've watched both and they each have their charms. Time well spent in my opinion.

I HIGHLY recommend the anime, especially if you enjoyed the live-action. Hell, I'd recommend it if you hated the live-action as well :D

no

Trigun is set in a binary star system so no

@@sharar5300 universe is a big place.

@@davitto01 true

Most style guides suggest s’ for plural and s’s for singular. So Mars’ would be incorrect as would parents’s. (This comes up a lot in arguments between St James’ and St James’s between publications, even though both are pronounced the same.)

so was the live action "adaptation" (=no season 2) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

probsbli becausi it is like we go from bliplens to moon landind in les time

Eh, when you're stuck in space and can't go back to Earth, it's literally try or die. Which probably explains why so many of the environments are makeshift and/or in need of repair in the series. Those are the SUCCESSFUL colonies...

I've just been wondering how the outer colonies have so much sunshine. Unless they have artificial suns, it's not going to be that bright out there.

@@CameronHuff Maybe space mirrors that focus sunshine that would otherwise miss the colony.

_cool boi beep boop_

it felt like watching a child trying to wear its parent's clothes.

"ewh, humans, gross!" >:D

I enjoyed it. Not as much as the original show, but I'm glad I watched it. Seems to be quite divisive, though.

The live action adaptation is good on its own merits. It keeps true to the setting and has its own charms.

It does seem to be centrifugal, at least on the Bebob, you can see Spike walking on the ring in a few shots.

@@hawkticus_history_corner But they do not sleep on the ring. And often leave a lot of stuff on the table - stuff that would float around in 0-G and become projectiles during any maneuvers.

@@christopherg2347 I always took it that the room was spinning with the ring. Maybe that's not right but that's how I took it

That would probably be centripetal force, not centrifugal. The force is transferred in the pulling of spokes of the wheel as it spins, not the pushing of bodies outwards. The bodies would feel an apparent centrifugal force, but the force itself is centripetal (if I’m remembering my teacher correctly, it’s been a few years :)

I always menially fudge the dates to think year zero was something else like being the first flight of the wright brothers or the first time humanity flew into space.
