I’m not going to ever say “don’t watch the original,” particularly when it comes to Bebop, but I’ve been reading warmer reviews elsewhere from both people who have and haven’t watched the original.

About what I expected, honestly. There was no way they’d be able to improve upon Cowboy Bebop without massively diverting from the original (because this wasn’t a show where isolated improvements would make a notable improvement), and the Netflix Suits would be terrified by making any notable changes from the original…

Ideally this show would have simply been a serving of new adventures. that could stand alone or complement the original.

Reading this bums me out a bit as I was really looking forward to the show. Still will watch and might enjoy it more now with lowered expectations, but can’t help sighing a bit. The reason I was enthusiastic about this was that while I absolutely adore the original anime, I did think that there was more than enough…

One factor is probably because they tend to be ridden on sidewalks rather than bike lanes.
