I have never watched the series, but I own the movie and I like it. Made me want to watch the series too.
The ending was fine.
My complaint in the last post was that the thread title sucked, but I wasn't sure if he just got the quote wrong or if he's using the kind of sense of humour that I can never understand on this forum. So I didn't want to make too big of a deal of the fact that the guy doesn't say "Let's Count" in the song, because maybe he was being funny.
Bebop is not my favourite, but it is one of the first things I'd recommend to someone who hasn't seen it and is interested in anime. Few anime shows have matched its pure accessibility to the 'outside' world.
Kentarou might have thought that that Keanu Reeves 'photoshop' was a joke, but the man is involved with the live action Bebop movie that is coming up.
Somehow I am pessimistic about Keanu Reeves playing Spike.
I think your pessimism is too narrowly focused :P The fact that there's a live-action Bebop movie being made at all, or the never ending string of Hollywood-made anime adaptations deserve more of your ire.
Reeves, however, is the one who is strongly advocating for this film to be made. He went to Japan and met with the people at Sunrise (and the guy who left Sunrise but was in charge of Bebop). Spike wasn't necessarily a man of wildly varying character, so Reeves could probably pull it off as well as any other human actor could. And at least he appears to be a genuine fan.
The possible 'upside' to the Bebop deal is that Sunrise says they have the right to reject the movie script if they think it sucks. The problem is that they are Japanese.
I suppose it was (narrowly focused). I'm glad to hear that he's a fan of the series, I wasn't aware of that. But I still think he looks ridiculous with that hairdo.
I do sincerely hope the script is good if the case is as you've stated. I did a bit of research myself after reading your post, and found out that Peter Craig is doing the writing. I've actually read a bit of Hot Plastic in a bookstore while waiting for someone and I think I thought it was pretty good at the time. A quick wiki search on him tells me he's known for his "darkly comic" style which seems right up Cowboy Bebop's alley.
So pessimism reversed, I guess xD
I know he says "Let's jam!" I just think it's funny that it sounds like he's saying "Let's count!" after he counts down from 3.
Edit: And yeah, I know the ending was fine. It just made me feel a little sad.
I can't think of anyone who wouldn't xD
