Each episode arguably features more gore than is present in the entire anime.

The result is a litany of cornball recycled jokes from his previous works and a certain Rick and Morty-esque tone that pervades odiously throughout each episode, rippling towards a staunch insincerity and near-offensive emotional whiplash which verges on the exploitative.Д¬owboy Bebop is bloody, and needlessly so. Seeing YostвЂ™s name slapped on the showвЂ™s credits contextualizes a lot of the misgivings I have towards it-itвЂ™s almost as if, after finding out the original show was animated, Yost decided it must be as garishly cartoonish as possible. Many moments in these 10 hourlong episodes go beyond just your average cringey attempt at recapturing the magic of the source material itвЂ™s based on-itвЂ™s actively grotesque in its bastardization of the original show, which has been contorted into a full-blown black comedy by writer Christopher Yost, known for his work on Thor: Ragnarok and The Mandalorian. NetflixвЂ™s Cowboy Bebop often feels like a slap in the face. Seeing the show now, I canвЂ™t believe just how wrong I was.

Its diverse, eclectic blend of musical styles, genre conventions, and multicultural imagery is a huge part of its success outside of Japan, and is something that (or so I believed) could be caught on camera well enough. Bebop is a show heavily inspired by Western culture. IвЂ™m not a person who feels particularly precious about Cowboy Bebop-itвЂ™s a wonderful show and one IвЂ™ve watched several times, but I wasnвЂ™t groaning with dismay like many when the live-action adaptation was announced back in late 2018. The show is, understandably, considered a sacred bastion by many fans it was a gateway into anime for many Millennials who stayed up late enough to catch its maiden voyage on Adult Swim as one of its very first programs. ItвЂ™s since become ubiquitous-Spike Spiegel tees can be found at any local Urban Outfitters, parodies of the opening sequence featuring the Simpsons or the cast of Star Wars practically litter YouTube (including one featured in an official episode of The Amazing World of Gumball), and the anime consistently tops any list of the вЂњbest anime of all time,вЂќ including our own here at Paste. Back in the day, Shinichiro WatanabeвЂ™s Cowboy Bebop was an ironclad argument in favor of animeвЂ™s coolness, a testament to the power of animation and its ability to tell unique stories other mediums struggled with.
