MasqueradeOverture

Even more of a reason to never recommend this thing to anybody.

To be fair, these are not the most "culturally aware" people. I.E. people from Jersey fucking suck.

I was afraid this would happen. After years of hearing my Bebop praise (not unprovoked, usually when the topic of the foreign entity that is anime is questioned towards my direction by these gentlemen); two of my buddies, separately, on their own volition decided to check out the live action version. They noped out before finishing the 1st episode. On top of this, I was informed of their new life's mission to never come in contact with the original or anything else remotely connected to anime ever again. I understand the live-action has brought the show back into conversation and thus new exposure, but I was weary of this side effect.

The problem with these adaptations is they totally misunderstand the tone. Obviously it's not supposed to be 1:1 because that will cause fuck-ups (see Ed), but at the same time' why is this written/directed like Scott Pilgrim when in reality Bebop is more Wong Kar-wai? Even if that was an intentional creative deviation, it doesn't excuse the sub-CW level writing/lighting/cinematography/costuming.

It's a Warner Bros movie. This shit is fucking free.

Would this be Toonami's first live action thing on AS? (Not that it matters because it's a Friday and 2049 smacks unreasonably hard) No holographic Ana De Armas titties tho.

lol

This is some pretty God-tier casting.

The levity wasn't the problem. It coming across like it was written by a 5 year-old was the problem.

Toga's hot.

S4 slapped if you skip the entirety of the fall festival (which was cancer). S5 was... okay? Middling for decent chunk of it, but nothing too bad.

Diebuster's not part of the Right Stuf deal? Damn.

So how's the Gunbuster dub coming along?

Nah you still got Uzumaki and Shenmue waiting. Unless those become an HBO Max thing.

In 2012 to 2015 streaming was not the force it is now. Post-that, appointment TV is dead.
