The live action version uploaded this Friday is very faithful to the original animated series. The proof in pictures !
It is a remake in the flesh very close to the animated version, which Netflix has just put online this Friday. If it is not free from defects, this Cowboy Bebop en live action has the good idea of being hyper-faithful to the original Japanese work. Not so much of a surprise, when we know that the director Shin’ichirô Watanabe took an active part in the production. So all the characters, from “cowboys” to Syndicate criminals, including hunted “bounties”, all display a style identical to the anime! The result: a truly stunning adaptation from an aesthetic point of view. We played the game of comparisons below.
