Reviews, stories, and general geekery.
...Or there's something about le Fou With all the expected letdowns this show has dealt out thus far, I was impressed that they finally got a character right. It was a one-shot throw-away villain, but at least they got it right... right? You'll see what I mean. The comparison... Woody, again... There is nothing to … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 8 Review
No, it's not deja vu. It was me being a total doofus and misnumbering the last review. So, that happened. In this session review... In this session... I... Well, just see for yourself. I had to shake my head. A LOT. This is becoming a theme... What, you ask? Introducing characters that weren't in the … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 7 Review
...or cue the tropes! Here we go! What do you get when you mix a 70s set, western shoot-out, Groundhog Day, and a lesbian kissing scene? You get this episode of Netflix's Cowboy Bebop. I wish I was kidding. I really do, but I am not. This is another episode that has nothing to do … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 5 Review
Nothing irritates more than an adaptation that jumps the timeline of a story, jumps around on the timeline, or/and leaves shit out completely. There is a reason the original unfolded the way it did. I keep going back to the time-honored cliche "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Jet finding out who framed him? … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 5 Review
I try to be as objective as possible. This means, every once in a while, I get pleasantly surprised by something I didn't like at the start. This episode...This particular episode had my noggin joggin'. I actually didn't hate it. I know. I know. Hear me out. I am not sick. I don't need my … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 4 Review
Oh, how they've not only gone off the rails but lost the whole damn train. No gif encapsulates how I feel better than Rocket for this one. Session 3, which in the anime, was supposed to give us our first taste of Faye Valentine, gives us a boat-load of padding, three stereotypes, and a screwed-up … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 3 Review
The adaptation with no heart... I know I did a review on it yesterday, but there were things that were bothering me that I could not pinpoint. After some rest and a re-watch of the original anime episode again, I think I nailed it. SPOILERS... Here we go... Faye... They shoehorned Faye into the first … Continue reading Cowboy Bebop: Anime v Live-Action
The time has come, my friends. I will be reviewing and comparing the live-action to the anime. I will be merciless. Cowboy Bebop was one of the first anime that caught my attention completely. So, let's see how Netflix's rendition holds up, shall we? First off, the names of the sessions are different. Session 1 … Continue reading Netflix Cowboy Bebop: Session 1 Review
A little vignette has dropped, giving us a sneaky peek at the actors in their roles and the backdrop. So, naturally, I have to take a look and give a review. So, without any more blabbering... So, on October 19, 2021, this dropped on Twitter. https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1450431535690170368?s=20 As I am not one to repeat myself, I … Continue reading The Lost Session… A Review
...or how they are shoehorning something into a show that was never there in the first place. Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener Here I am again. I love the anime. It is timeless, perfect. The slice-of-life anime in a world of technology, grit, and action. It had lessons to share, bonds to form, and betrayal … Continue reading Gren: The Character Netflix Misunderstood
