I think because the actors are slower also they're not as flexible? as the anime. Their movement also seems little bit sluggish, not very smooth. Not the kind of movement that they used to do for year and years. But just trained recently.
@@networknomad5600 I feel more like a tribute for the show being asian. Since Cowboy Bebop tributes a lot of western shows with references they did the same in the opening throwing signs everywhere the show is originally japanese.
The problem is as simple as: You can't expect animated character movements to work with true actors, or try to replicate an animated aesthetic 1-1 in a real set, because animation is a completely different media it's like expecting motorcycle wheels to work in a car
I'm agree whit you can't expect that the adaptation looks just like the anime but, if you know that don't try to make it or will end like the cats movie, just adapt the essence of each character in a more realistic outfit and movements, like marvel did whit their characters
Cause they simply try to replicate the type of animation which can’t work like some movement in animated shows won’t look as appealing or similar in real life he should have just run regularly tbh
@@trek7985 i watched the entire trailer and it was nothing like cowboy bebop. this aint a adaptation its a completely different thing. it was extremely goofy and cheesy. which is something you dont expect from cowboy bebop. They have no idea what there doing and they probably havent even watched the original. And if they did they have absolutely no understanding of it.
@@Floridamangaming729 In interviews with the cast, they brought in the original creator of Bebop as a consultant and ran everything by him. They tried to make it as faithful to the original as possible. There is also no way this cast has not seen Bebop. There are some things that just are not translatable from one medium of animation to another medium of live-action. To me, as long as the spirit of Cowboy Bebop is captured with the best possible execution of it, I will take it. Based on this versus how Death Note came out, you can totally tell that Netflix learned their lesson.
Either that or they just completely didn’t understand that you can get that effect by chopping the frame rate and then speeding it back up. You also have to get it on a treadmill on a green screen but nah just let him run awkward in place it’ll be fine
@@masterzombie161 lol I watched some highlights from that live adaptation, I really doubt they thought they could live up to the MP100 animation by Bones studio, just a cash grab
One thing I love about the Original OP is they didn’t follow the cliche of put all the plot hint and all side characters in it, just create an atmosphere around the main characters. and makes you wonder how this show would go, encouraging you to keep following their adventures. It’s a quite unique experience even in those Japan animate production.
The silent sadness mixed with such a bombastic song was such a great contrast. With characters characters smiling and acting, and action going on, it ruins that.
See, in netflix teaser they probably had to put major characters, so that the audience can get a glimps of what they have done, netflix also knows what fans of the serues are expecting, so they went all out to ensure that they have done to meet their expectations, and as a teaser this looks clean.
Yea but the editing isn't as tight as the original so it feels super off. Plus some of the movements feel half ass, like the triple gun shooting part... Could have had the actors make more impactful movements or shoot a simulated firearm
John cho is an incredibly talented actor and artist but I think some one in the younger range area should’ve played Spike, seeing as he is age 27 and John cho is already about to be 50 year old man. But never the less I’m sure he’ll be damn good!
One of the main struggles I feel like in adapting cowboy Bebop to live action is cowboy Bebop had such a very unique dynamic flow in its character movements which just does not translate to live action. You can argue that that's because it's anime and this is live action but those movements were a part of the driving story I feel like.
That's because they used live action footage as reference for animating the characters, while exagerating their movement in just the right ways to make them feel more impactful while still natural. Cowboy Bebop's animation keeps a foot in realism, the animation and charicature is never pushed too far unless the visual storytelling needs it to be pushed too far. I think they should've replicated the feel of the original OP instead of trying to recreate it, just keep the visual style and editing style, I think it would've been better.
Why does the Netflix intro look like an intro for a porn parody of this anime? It's so weird looking at this version of the same opening knowing damn well how good the original is.
@@janpribyla9817 imagine how difficult it would be for her actress to to wear the outfit and perform at the same time. I'm pretty sure if it was accurate it would be impossible for her to move, while trying to do stunts.

Another thing, I meant you don't even know the difference between live action and animated, live action means real humans, animated means, CGI characters. Just because your last brain cell cannot differentiate between it, it's not Netflix's fault. Don't act like some professional, Netflix, actors, producers, intro maker, comic/novel writer and me really don't care about your comment. As you can see your criticism is worthless. Plus there is always a civil war. Winx Club and The Witcher fans said the same thing, and guess what they still watched it, and when season 2 will release, they will pretend to hate it, but will watch it anyway.

Just because you are in your 60s, doesn't mean everyone is.
"The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called... COWBOY BEBOP". This one line says it all. The anime is a perfect irony, a seamless blend of humor and tragedy that resulted in class and sass minus the cringe. Its the very nature of its story being predictably unpredictable and the added mystery of its nuances that gave the show its charm. Unfortunately, the live action lacked that charm as per this opening. It just gave away too much information that you can't expect the unexpected anymore.
Netflix: "Everybody loves Cowboy Bebop so we should..." Everyone: "Get the rights to the sho-" Netflix: *MAKE A LIVE ACTION REMAKE* Edit: They've actually gotten the rights to the show now so this comment aged like milk lol
@@MuhammedChand agreed! (as long as they keep the same dub va) but honestly, i think it's ok if they lean into the goofiness of Bebop because it really has both and the fans enjoy the goof but only talk about the seriousness and both make each other work. that said, this opener has the most speed racer energy of anything besides the movie. different era of anime guys.
hahaha no, come on dude seriously? You're completely missing the point here The opening is not that, or rather it is what small brained people would come to assume, like you
While not a copy of the OG intro, I understand what the creators of the live-action 'Cowboy Bebop' wanted to do within the intro. I'm leaning to enjoying the animé intro more.
Nemec does consider this Cowboy Bebop, premiering on Netflix this Nov. 19, to be "an expansion to the canon, " in that the show will "add things" to the mythos. "We got under the skin of who the live- action characters were going to be, " he adds. "I think that the poetic nature of the anime absolutely allowed for us to mine the archetypal nature of the characters and dig out deeper histories that we wanted to explore - and answer some of the questions that the anime leaves you with. I think to just redo the anime will leave an audience hungry for something that they already saw. The anime did an amazing job. We don't need to serve the exact same meal. I think it would have been disappointing if we did."
The Netflix show's intro makes me think that the way they're stylizing everything has a blend of 70s Blacksploitation & cop films & how some live action Japanese films & TV shows are shot, as well as thinks like the Yakuza games. I'm completely up for that kinda vibe as long as the writing & performances are good & on-point.
@@DuoMaxwell007 I didn't catch that vibe from the anime. More of a homage to martial arts and cyber punk to me, with heavy moments of philosophy connected to identity.
@@calmexit6483 the guy with the afro Spike fought? Looked Pretty blaxploitation to me. All the Syndicate members in their suits bowing in 2 straight lines to Vicious? Looked pretty Yakuzaish to me
Dudes, those things on the intro are all in the original (Blacksploitation, Triad, bloody couple, etc) It's like straight taken from them, just modified a little Edit: even Mad Pierrot is there
@@DuoMaxwell007 You're talking about individual episodes that paid homage to types of films, genres, etc. I'm talking an overall tone. The anime is more Neo-Noir & Sci-Fi. The live action show seems to be embracing more genres at once, which I'm all for.
Now in side by side comparison I notice 2 things immediately: -Original seems way more detailed (weird as it's animated) -Original seems much more dynamic (the pace is not in slo-mo like state as in live action at times)
The editing and timing matches the rhythm of the song in the original intro. As it would with a Jazz piece, which the Netflix series is totally not going to get at all.
@@ciello___8307 The problem I'm seeing is though: it is MUCH easier to have a highly detailed live video as opposed to the animation where every additional details attached would increase workload exponentially. (bit less in terms of model animation done in cg but it's not case here). So by default one can expect live action footage to be more detailed than animation. Here it is somehow not the case. As to movement: surely enough animation has upper-hand here in terms of 'what can be done' as it only depends on skill and imagination. But in terms of fluidity of that movement I imagine it's pretty much equal in terms of what can be done depending on a skill of editor and in case of animation - mid frame animators. I have nothing against fluidity in fact but... why is it so much in slo-mo? It's as if I was replaying 1st Max Payne and fighting kicked in so everything went into bullet time. It's fine idea when a lot is happening but it's not necessarily fine idea in intro, especially when it does not really much with up-beat fast paced music in the background. Sadly all of that 'can' be explained with either laziness or inability (on many levels including fast paced movements ability on actors side) and while it is not necessarily just that- the inkling of that thought is worrisome.
@@rizkyhidayah1370 you... literally make no sense here. It is very common for adaptations of works to be way more detailed than originals depending on a style and structure. Good example are in fact live adaptations where the 'HD' of real life footage leans whole spectrum into 'more detail'. Only examples where adaptations were less detailed than original that I can think from top of my head were "Teen Titans GO!" and "Thundercats Roar". In live action: "Ghost in the Shell" maintained about same amount of detail, "Dragon Balls" was more detailed but... actually to the detriment of the project, while "Alita: Battle Angel" wasway more detailed than original (which is achievement as once again it is old school sci-fi manga and anime, and those did excel at amount of the detail in general)
Well, I give Netflix props for trying something different rather than fully recreate the original (you just can’t beat the original animated opening). However, it’s ironic how the animated one feels more “real” while the live action one feels a lot more cartoony. Not to mention the Netflix version feels sluggish and lacks the energy that the original had that better complements the music. If they did more snapper edits/cuts than slo-mo shots, it would look so much better. Hell, I’ve seen fan made AMV projects that had better editing. Just, I dunno. I’ll give this a shot out of nostalgia, but hopefully this won’t leave me wanting to see what the canned big budget Keanu Reeves film would have looked like.
I think part of the reason the Netflix one looks so god awful is primarily because the frame rate varies across three or four elements on screen at a single time, while the original is all the same, even during the simulated slow shutter speed bits which are weirdly not replicated, which is partly why the gunshot closeups look so weak...aside from the revolver which just doesn't have any recoil, nor does the hammer move on the thing (fuck, now I just noticed the front-on shots of the guns are completely CGI with badly rigged stock hand models jammed into them). I'm seeing live action footage shot at possibly something higher than 24fps (the UA-cam video displays at 24fps so I can't tell but can guess), some other live action and CGI footage at exactly 24fps, but then 2D animated elements that vary between maybe 10fps and 12fps. If I had to guess why it's because a whole lot of it is assembled from lots of different shoots, all of which are done by different cinematographers. And some of those shots are fuck ugly high shutter speed, harshly lit, narrow aperture moments, which are most definitely not the jazzy, noir-y look that Cowboy Bebop should have. Now things feel over detailed, cheap, and moodless more often than not, including a couple of bits that might be from costume tests or a purposely done shoot. So you have a bunch of disparate shots and animations, layered on top of one another with varying frame rates, aesthetic styles, and all processed differently all at the same time...sitting next to probably the greatest anime credits sequence ever. The first shot of Spike lighting a smoke is: -the yellow Saul Bass bars at 24fps -a very dimly lit, soft live action shot of him with motion blur thanks to slow shutter speed at 24fps -a totally contrasting keying and animation effect on top of that that is SUPER crisp around his head and hair; no lens focus effect on top to blend it with the background a bit, nor motion blur to match the live action footage's movement -that seems to be above 24fps because his head/hair is an unchanging tweened vector rather than a hand animated drawing, or just his real head/hair keyed out for some reason -but his back arm, while also black, seems to be the original footage the whole way through because there IS a lens focus effect there; guess his hair was too hard to key out -an exhale of smoke in a different animation style that is sub-12fps and is a combination of hand animation and a couple of digital moves that repeat frames of the clouds -scrolling background text that is 24fps or higher -film grain/ISO noise isn't uniform across each element either; look at it in lower resolution and the compression will blend it better After that, almost every shot has some of these weird discrepancies. The worst are shots that show extracts from different episodes, so one side of the screen will have different focal depth, shutter speed, grain, and overall style than the other side, with animated elements in between that are at a varying frame rate. And the thing is, the original has varied frame rates too in a couple moments, but either has each clip play on alternating frames to make it feel smoother, or just lets one element animate at a time, on top of having a singular grain/noise on top that blends it further. This looks so shockingly cheap and unplanned. For so many elements to look so vastly different tells me there's no style guide to the series, and not enough care to purpose-shoot/animate elements for the titles, leading to all of these really jarring clashes of style and frame rates.
Great analysis. The few existing shots from episodes and some of the casting choices also give off a very, very cheap vibe to them. Seems like they're just going for the money on this one but why should I be surprised.
People kept saying the netflix opening looked good and I just didnt fcking see it the same way. They should've just turned everyone into silhouettes instead of having them awkwardly staring back at the viewer
Showed my mom the two intros, and she said the one on the right is more enticing even if its a cartoon. Said it looked sad or like noir almost. I have to agree, the Netflix intro is brighter and less dark, feels less mature as well.
The live action just doesn't fit well into the anime asthetic either, compared to the original where the movements feel really precise and sharp, Netflix feels really jarring and like a low budget fan film. Ofc maybe that's the style they're going for but still I'm not a fan of it. Will have to see how the final product turns out
I hope this version is more like a teaser that's a work in progress. I think the Netflix intro can still be improved, like Spike's running(that's just me), or the feel/mood overall. And lowkey kinda hate how they put like scenes which is a bit of a mini spoiler for the show. Not really hopeful, but I wish they can still edit it a bit
Guys honestly I’ve watched the anime many times and look whilst not every live action is perfect, can’t we all just be excited for the live action and from what I’ve seen so far I honestly have a good feeling about this live action. Look on the bright side The world is showing a lot of attention towards the anime community and I think there’s a lot coming for us
Yeah! Thanks! I saw the original series too, but I enjoyed the live action as well. It's not a "Death note" case. People (or just otakus, I don't know) can just accept that can exist different versions. I've been watching anime since I was five, but Iot be so critical about these kind of experiments.
@@chenkaixiang2455 But maybe other persons who don't watch anime would enjoy the story in this way.🤔 For example, my mother started watching the live-action version, hahaha.
@@celiadossantosh The story has been ruined. Live action is the worst way to enjoy the Cowboy Bebop story. Had a friend who asked if he should just watch the Netflix version. I said hell no, watch the anime.
Ok the running on spike, make Cho run like hell, record it, don't slow it down, make him run like he would naturally run fast, same goes with Jet, don't slow him down and show it in full motion,everything else is fine, you see it's the little things.
Haha I wrote the same comment on the official video on Facebook, that Spike running looks awkward in my opinion, as well as the Faye scene, when she starts to moving as if the director said : now, action!
Maybe we're expecting too much. Real people can't duplicate everything that animated characters do. They just can't. Still, the live action into does show Two things: 1. That they will be offering something a little different from what fans are expecting. That is, they won't/can't follow the anime frame for frame, so they changed a few things and showed the reality of live actors doing things in place of how the animated characters did them. They're letting you know what to expect from the start. 2. They will continue to have much of what we're familiar with. They did that by featuring characters in the intro from the anime's storyline we all know and love. You recognized them, right? It's meant to connect the anime, and you, with this version. Just a thought. haha
I'm wondering that too, Ed's not really the most important character on the show, but still plays a important role, more crucial towards the end of the anime, if they want to somewhat follow the original plot, they must keep Ed
They tried to do too much. The original anime had Spike doing a step-in side kick, like Bruce Lee used to like to do, which informs Spike's character because he practices Jeet Kune Do. The Netflix show has Spike do a full-on jumping tornado kick, which is flashier, but flashy for flashy's sake. That's not what Spike is about. But, does John Cho have the smoothness of technique and, let's face it, length of leg, to make that kick look good?
Because by drawing you know that each drawing corresponds to a certain second and therefore you can make it correspond perfectly with the corresponding second of the music. If there is any error, just remove some frames from the drawing
Everyone is down on the live action version because it misses some of the fluid and frenetic action that the OG has, but no one is talking about how the live action version is WAY better at dynamic editing and using sound and visuals to sell the story. It's a different take on the same material and I love it. The haters are weird and limited in scope.
I think it’s sad that the original is so incredibly timed and stylistically done that it’s almost impossible to out do or match, i genuinely do think the new version is good it’s just sad that it really won’t live up to the first opening if that’s what you care about which i know a lot of people do care about, this show will be psycho analysed for days when it comes out
the adaptation looks like when i ask my mom for a cowboy bebop blu ray for my birthday, but we're broke as fuck so she gets me a copy of a cosplay parody my cousin made for film school instead
After reading the comments i feel kinda ashamed that i like the live action op, of course it doesn't beat the original but come on, you guys know how hard it is to adapt that kind of stuff.
@@ashleymichelle4094 i totally agree, people nowadays complain too much and don't know how to appreciate anything(sorry about not answering in Spanish, i am not fluent at it).
Most commentators are just circlejerking. their arguments are super weak. their claims relate to the same things, their opinions are biased and repeat each other, nothing will stop them to express their disrespect for the work of actors, etc. I collapsed the comment feed right away good transitions, color work, actors work, fitting with music and in general it was interesting to see the entire op from start to finish
I completely agree with you, they can't appreciate ANYTHING and they complain about everything, even if the adaptation was exactly like the anime they still would not be satisfied.
The netflix opening feels like its screaming "remember this stuff. Look at the characters from the show..... please watch us" Also notice they took out the sexy leg walk and posing with a cigarette for some reason. I also prefer the poses in the original. Also vicious wig looks pretty dam bad. I give it some props that it at least tried to go for the style of the show. I can say at most im morbidly curious how this all turns out.

@@cainabel6356 ok please explain to me how this adaptation is going to be disaster since the both original director and a few other crew members from the anime have been brought on and are in fact helping produce this live action adaptation….

I don’t get this complete back lash….. is it because Netflix fucked up with death note ….. is that why everyone is on the shit on everything train? Because before Netflix presented the world with their god awful adaptation of death note… Japan did and even greater job with 2 count it 2 live action films based on the property of the same name…. And the same goes for attack on titan…. So unlike you and large amount of negative fans I’m going to sit and wait and watch each episode on November 19th and once I’m done then I will give my judgement…. But I have hopes for this… because honestly the attempt to make this classic into a movie just could not work…. Sorry to lash out at you there Seth…
@@cainabel6356 ok I see your point but still just don’t jump to conclusions that it will fail…. Go check out the live action bleach movie Netflix actually did a really damn good job on that one… shame that it probably won’t get another film… but it follows the source material pretty well
It's so good to see they put faye's knives into the show I was worried they wouldnt get her knife fighting abilities right ... I mean remember how good the knife scene was in Knockin' on Heaven's Door! also Jet is skipping leg day with that run :P
Before you had my curiosity, NOW you have my attention. (Only because the episode where spike fights that weird Man child assassin thing is gonna be pure nightmare fuel as it should)
I give the live action one compliment. It’s pretty cool to have the 3 misc guns fired instead be the 3 main fighters of the team. But man the live action feels like it drags on for so long and looses its independence. The original felt connected to the show but completely viable as its own work of art, while the remake becomes a basic clip reel and fails to understand the sharp, jazzy, and bold vibe of it all. Like seriously seeing the actors hold up the guns rather than tuning it into slow-mo in the 3 shot lineup is embarrassing
the one thing i do like that's a nice touch is that instead of using English lines and words like in the anime opening, it's all in Japanese because it's a Western live action production
The live action adaptation on the left looks like student level work of a motion designer. A loving homage made with Creative Cloud and a bucket of stock footage. Compare 7sec, Spike w/ cigarette pose. The composition is zoomed out making it less intense. Spike is hunched but not tilted towards the camera, resulting in a flat silhouette. The lighter color isn’t a subtle burn on a cigarette tip, but now a full face bloom of orange. The graphics are less dense, use less fonts but now has a tacky vignette. This isn’t live action vs animation, everything I just mentioned can be done in film. It’s bad execution vs good execution.
Damn dude you didn't have to go in debt like that. Like of course this isn't gonna look as fluid and beautiful as the original, you can't really expect the same artist interpretation in a live action version of a show. Personally I really appreciate the effort and respect put in because I think you can really tell that their actually trying. Imagine if they didn't even put this intro in and put in something completely different, I'm sure the whole fandom will be completely divided on that matter.
@@zed6740 i totaly agree with this, this live-action opening is pretty sick looking. like good sick. if you compare it with all the live-action that has been made. I can judge by the opening this gonna be promising.
As a fan of the original anime and cinema in general I dig that they didn’t try to exactly mimic the original intro but people who say we’ve never gotten a good live-action anime film should really watch Lady Snowblood. Also, I’m not saying that I liked this Netflix version, this still looks a bit lackluster compared to the original series.
@@revolutionarydragon1123 I know the movie you're talking about and I checked it out I was only able to withstand maybe 10 to 15 minutes of that slop and then I had to turn it off and find something more entertaining. I don't get why Hollywood does not do their homework on their Source material.
One thing the new intro does that's ABSOLUTLY better is the 'three guns firing' sequence using their individual guns, instead of just Spike's. That's pretty cool, and a very clean way to work in all three of the main characters. Overall, I think it ties together the group a little better, and it's even keeping a few cutouts open for when Ed joins the cast.
The Netflix opening of Cowboy Bebop reminds me of how The Last Airbender opened with the “Water, Earth, Fire, Air” segment of the animated series’s opening… A decent enough emulation, but ultimately feels shallow and surface-level.
While I do have high hopes that the live action will do really well, I also have a strong feeling that I will be disappointed. Prove me wrong, Netflix!
Tbh, the reason the original is so loved, it’s because it doesn’t give away that much story, characters or their history. Also, call me a weirdo, but the part when Spike falls and hits his head is probably the best part of the opening…and it infuriated me when they didn’t even tried to stunt it.
It's funny how the original anime's characters movements and actions look more REAL than the live action.
ikr ffs
I think because the actors are slower also they're not as flexible? as the anime. Their movement also seems little bit sluggish, not very smooth. Not the kind of movement that they used to do for year and years. But just trained recently.

One of the main struggles I feel like in adapting cowboy Bebop to live action is cowboy Bebop had such a very unique dynamic flow in its character movements which just does not translate to live action. You can argue that that's because it's anime and this is live action but those movements were a part of the driving story I feel like.
That's because they used live action footage as reference for animating the characters, while exagerating their movement in just the right ways to make them feel more impactful while still natural.
Cowboy Bebop's animation keeps a foot in realism, the animation and charicature is never pushed too far unless the visual storytelling needs it to be pushed too far.
I think they should've replicated the feel of the original OP instead of trying to recreate it, just keep the visual style and editing style, I think it would've been better.

"The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called... COWBOY BEBOP". This one line says it all. The anime is a perfect irony, a seamless blend of humor and tragedy that resulted in class and sass minus the cringe. Its the very nature of its story being predictably unpredictable and the added mystery of its nuances that gave the show its charm. Unfortunately, the live action lacked that charm as per this opening. It just gave away too much information that you can't expect the unexpected anymore.

While not a copy of the OG intro, I understand what the creators of the live-action 'Cowboy Bebop' wanted to do within the intro. I'm leaning to enjoying the animé intro more.
Nemec does consider this Cowboy
Bebop, premiering on Netflix this Nov. 19,
to be
"an expansion to the canon,
" in that
the show will "add things" to the mythos.
"We got under the skin of who the live-
action characters were going to be, " he
adds. "I think that the poetic nature of the
anime absolutely allowed for us to mine
the archetypal nature of the characters
and dig out deeper histories that we
wanted to explore - and answer some of
the questions that the anime leaves you
with. I think to just redo the anime will
leave an audience hungry for something
that they already saw. The anime did an
amazing job. We don't need to serve the
exact same meal. I think it would have
been disappointing if we did."
I didn't understand at all. Like lmao what was soooo hard about doing what the original did? Like they couldn't even run 😂
It was solid if they changed it would of killed the live action foreal
I'd kinda like if they just animated the actors with rotoscoping, honestly. At least in the shots where they use 2D animation to stylize things.
@@Scsigs yeah you got to respect they stayed to the source material
I ADORE the stained glass window into revolver barrel cut. It gets me every time.
The intro is fine for the most part but then John Cho’s running is so fucking funny😂😂😂😂
The Netflix show's intro makes me think that the way they're stylizing everything has a blend of 70s Blacksploitation & cop films & how some live action Japanese films & TV shows are shot, as well as thinks like the Yakuza games. I'm completely up for that kinda vibe as long as the writing & performances are good & on-point.
Ummmm you mean JUST LIKE the anime? Lol
@@DuoMaxwell007 I didn't catch that vibe from the anime. More of a homage to martial arts and cyber punk to me, with heavy moments of philosophy connected to identity.
@@calmexit6483 the guy with the afro Spike fought? Looked Pretty blaxploitation to me. All the Syndicate members in their suits bowing in 2 straight lines to Vicious? Looked pretty Yakuzaish to me
Dudes, those things on the intro are all in the original (Blacksploitation, Triad, bloody couple, etc)
It's like straight taken from them, just modified a little
Edit: even Mad Pierrot is there
@@DuoMaxwell007 You're talking about individual episodes that paid homage to types of films, genres, etc. I'm talking an overall tone. The anime is more Neo-Noir & Sci-Fi. The live action show seems to be embracing more genres at once, which I'm all for.
Now in side by side comparison I notice 2 things immediately:
-Original seems way more detailed (weird as it's animated)
-Original seems much more dynamic (the pace is not in slo-mo like state as in live action at times)
The editing and timing matches the rhythm of the song in the original intro. As it would with a Jazz piece, which the Netflix series is totally not going to get at all.
They can make details and movements perfect in animation. Live action is always going to look different
@@ciello___8307 The problem I'm seeing is though: it is MUCH easier to have a highly detailed live video as opposed to the animation where every additional details attached would increase workload exponentially. (bit less in terms of model animation done in cg but it's not case here).
So by default one can expect live action footage to be more detailed than animation. Here it is somehow not the case.
As to movement: surely enough animation has upper-hand here in terms of 'what can be done' as it only depends on skill and imagination. But in terms of fluidity of that movement I imagine it's pretty much equal in terms of what can be done depending on a skill of editor and in case of animation - mid frame animators.
I have nothing against fluidity in fact but... why is it so much in slo-mo? It's as if I was replaying 1st Max Payne and fighting kicked in so everything went into bullet time. It's fine idea when a lot is happening but it's not necessarily fine idea in intro, especially when it does not really much with up-beat fast paced music in the background.
Sadly all of that 'can' be explained with either laziness or inability (on many levels including fast paced movements ability on actors side) and while it is not necessarily just that- the inkling of that thought is worrisome.
"original seems way more detailed"
bro, it's detailed cuz thats why its original😭
@@rizkyhidayah1370 you... literally make no sense here.
It is very common for adaptations of works to be way more detailed than originals depending on a style and structure. Good example are in fact live adaptations where the 'HD' of real life footage leans whole spectrum into 'more detail'.
Only examples where adaptations were less detailed than original that I can think from top of my head were "Teen Titans GO!" and "Thundercats Roar".
In live action: "Ghost in the Shell" maintained about same amount of detail, "Dragon Balls" was more detailed but... actually to the detriment of the project, while "Alita: Battle Angel" wasway more detailed than original (which is achievement as once again it is old school sci-fi manga and anime, and those did excel at amount of the detail in general)
Well, I give Netflix props for trying something different rather than fully recreate the original (you just can’t beat the original animated opening). However, it’s ironic how the animated one feels more “real” while the live action one feels a lot more cartoony.
Not to mention the Netflix version feels sluggish and lacks the energy that the original had that better complements the music. If they did more snapper edits/cuts than slo-mo shots, it would look so much better. Hell, I’ve seen fan made AMV projects that had better editing.
Just, I dunno. I’ll give this a shot out of nostalgia, but hopefully this won’t leave me wanting to see what the canned big budget Keanu Reeves film would have looked like.

Yeah.. just a dream
I saw the adaptation's opening and was pretty impressed until I watched this and now I am no longer impressed but I still appreciate the effort
I think part of the reason the Netflix one looks so god awful is primarily because the frame rate varies across three or four elements on screen at a single time, while the original is all the same, even during the simulated slow shutter speed bits which are weirdly not replicated, which is partly why the gunshot closeups look so weak...aside from the revolver which just doesn't have any recoil, nor does the hammer move on the thing (fuck, now I just noticed the front-on shots of the guns are completely CGI with badly rigged stock hand models jammed into them).
I'm seeing live action footage shot at possibly something higher than 24fps (the UA-cam video displays at 24fps so I can't tell but can guess), some other live action and CGI footage at exactly 24fps, but then 2D animated elements that vary between maybe 10fps and 12fps.
If I had to guess why it's because a whole lot of it is assembled from lots of different shoots, all of which are done by different cinematographers. And some of those shots are fuck ugly high shutter speed, harshly lit, narrow aperture moments, which are most definitely not the jazzy, noir-y look that Cowboy Bebop should have. Now things feel over detailed, cheap, and moodless more often than not, including a couple of bits that might be from costume tests or a purposely done shoot. So you have a bunch of disparate shots and animations, layered on top of one another with varying frame rates, aesthetic styles, and all processed differently all at the same time...sitting next to probably the greatest anime credits sequence ever.
The first shot of Spike lighting a smoke is:
-the yellow Saul Bass bars at 24fps
-a very dimly lit, soft live action shot of him with motion blur thanks to slow shutter speed at 24fps
-a totally contrasting keying and animation effect on top of that that is SUPER crisp around his head and hair; no lens focus effect on top to blend it with the background a bit, nor motion blur to match the live action footage's movement
-that seems to be above 24fps because his head/hair is an unchanging tweened vector rather than a hand animated drawing, or just his real head/hair keyed out for some reason
-but his back arm, while also black, seems to be the original footage the whole way through because there IS a lens focus effect there; guess his hair was too hard to key out
-an exhale of smoke in a different animation style that is sub-12fps and is a combination of hand animation and a couple of digital moves that repeat frames of the clouds
-scrolling background text that is 24fps or higher
-film grain/ISO noise isn't uniform across each element either; look at it in lower resolution and the compression will blend it better
After that, almost every shot has some of these weird discrepancies. The worst are shots that show extracts from different episodes, so one side of the screen will have different focal depth, shutter speed, grain, and overall style than the other side, with animated elements in between that are at a varying frame rate. And the thing is, the original has varied frame rates too in a couple moments, but either has each clip play on alternating frames to make it feel smoother, or just lets one element animate at a time, on top of having a singular grain/noise on top that blends it further.
This looks so shockingly cheap and unplanned. For so many elements to look so vastly different tells me there's no style guide to the series, and not enough care to purpose-shoot/animate elements for the titles, leading to all of these really jarring clashes of style and frame rates.
Interesting
I ain’t reading all that, I’m happy for you tho or sorry that happened
Great analysis. The few existing shots from episodes and some of the casting choices also give off a very, very cheap vibe to them. Seems like they're just going for the money on this one but why should I be surprised.
People kept saying the netflix opening looked good and I just didnt fcking see it the same way. They should've just turned everyone into silhouettes instead of having them awkwardly staring back at the viewer
You’re a nerd bro no reason to articulate over a nerdy subject matter
Showed my mom the two intros, and she said the one on the right is more enticing even if its a cartoon. Said it looked sad or like noir almost. I have to agree, the Netflix intro is brighter and less dark, feels less mature as well.
The live action just doesn't fit well into the anime asthetic either, compared to the original where the movements feel really precise and sharp, Netflix feels really jarring and like a low budget fan film. Ofc maybe that's the style they're going for but still I'm not a fan of it. Will have to see how the final product turns out
Your Mom has GREAT TASTE.
I hope this version is more like a teaser that's a work in progress. I think the Netflix intro can still be improved, like Spike's running(that's just me), or the feel/mood overall. And lowkey kinda hate how they put like scenes which is a bit of a mini spoiler for the show. Not really hopeful, but I wish they can still edit it a bit

Look on the bright side The world is showing a lot of attention towards the anime community and I think there’s a lot coming for us
Yeah! Thanks! I saw the original series too, but I enjoyed the live action as well. It's not a "Death note" case.

Also the character gesticulating at the end. Don’t know why they removed those scenes
Maybe we're expecting too much. Real people can't duplicate everything that animated characters do. They just can't. Still, the live action into does show Two things:
1. That they will be offering something a little different from what fans are expecting. That is, they won't/can't follow the anime frame for frame, so they changed a few things and showed the reality of live actors doing things in place of how the animated characters did them. They're letting you know what to expect from the start.
2. They will continue to have much of what we're familiar with. They did that by featuring characters in the intro from the anime's storyline we all know and love. You recognized them, right? It's meant to connect the anime, and you, with this version.
Just a thought. haha

And the Japanese dub gets all of the original voice actors from the anime.
The part where Spike throws a kick always stood up to me. It looks so natural and powerful. And then the live action one is so underwhelming.
Damn right, the live action version looks like Spike is break dancing.
They're two different types of kicks, I still prefer the original, but the live action one wasn't that bad
They tried to do too much.
The original anime had Spike doing a step-in side kick, like Bruce Lee used to like to do, which informs Spike's character because he practices Jeet Kune Do.
The Netflix show has Spike do a full-on jumping tornado kick, which is flashier, but flashy for flashy's sake. That's not what Spike is about.
But, does John Cho have the smoothness of technique and, let's face it, length of leg, to make that kick look good?

Before you had my curiosity, NOW you have my attention. (Only because the episode where spike fights that weird Man child assassin thing is gonna be pure nightmare fuel as it should)
When Overwatch slayed the intro better than Netflix. 💀
no
@@bogenka228 I'm sorry that you like to share wrong opinions.
Why do cartoon characters have a better run cycle than actual human beings? Dafuq Netflix?
They seem so silly
Animation copies real life and makes it look better
That's just like saying why do cartoons characters could stand 19 bullets through their heads while real human don't? Dafuq real life ?
Irl Jet's run cycle looked fine
Better example than ign gave side to side. I like that they honour the original without full on copying it. Looking forward to this adaptation.
Wtf are you talking about
The new one looks like complete trash
@@sebastianguerrero6617 no it doesnt
I give the live action one compliment. It’s pretty cool to have the 3 misc guns fired instead be the 3 main fighters of the team.
But man the live action feels like it drags on for so long and looses its independence. The original felt connected to the show but completely viable as its own work of art, while the remake becomes a basic clip reel and fails to understand the sharp, jazzy, and bold vibe of it all.
Like seriously seeing the actors hold up the guns rather than tuning it into slow-mo in the 3 shot lineup is embarrassing
Did Netflix make Cowboy Bebop's opening spoil the story?
the one thing i do like that's a nice touch is that instead of using English lines and words like in the anime opening, it's all in Japanese because it's a Western live action production
Even the final title card is reversed!
The live action adaptation on the left looks like student level work of a motion designer. A loving homage made with Creative Cloud and a bucket of stock footage. Compare 7sec, Spike w/ cigarette pose. The composition is zoomed out making it less intense. Spike is hunched but not tilted towards the camera, resulting in a flat silhouette. The lighter color isn’t a subtle burn on a cigarette tip, but now a full face bloom of orange. The graphics are less dense, use less fonts but now has a tacky vignette. This isn’t live action vs animation, everything I just mentioned can be done in film. It’s bad execution vs good execution.
I would love to see a student do a trailer like the one they did. Possibly one of the creative trailers ever.
You are very annoying in
Damn dude you didn't have to go in debt like that. Like of course this isn't gonna look as fluid and beautiful as the original, you can't really expect the same artist interpretation in a live action version of a show.
Personally I really appreciate the effort and respect put in because I think you can really tell that their actually trying. Imagine if they didn't even put this intro in and put in something completely different, I'm sure the whole fandom will be completely divided on that matter.
@@zed6740 i totaly agree with this, this live-action opening is pretty sick looking. like good sick. if you compare it with all the live-action that has been made. I can judge by the opening this gonna be promising.
@@williamgunawan3371 Indeed, just one problem I have is the exaggerated run Spike does but it's a minor issue for me personally.
I gotta say it feels like a fanmade project
@Mook a million? Dam.
Netflix be like: The original is already perfect, let's not bother trying to change it
As a fan of the original anime and cinema in general I dig that they didn’t try to exactly mimic the original intro but people who say we’ve never gotten a good live-action anime film should really watch Lady Snowblood.
Also, I’m not saying that I liked this Netflix version, this still looks a bit lackluster compared to the original series.
lady snowblood is incredible i agree! didn’t like the second movie tho
It is a hollow shell of the original Cowboy Bebop anime. Nothing about this screams Cowboy Bebop he just screams flop turd
You should check out the rurouni kenshin movies imo they are really well done and one of the live action anime movies I've seen
@@revolutionarydragon1123 I know the movie you're talking about and I checked it out I was only able to withstand maybe 10 to 15 minutes of that slop and then I had to turn it off and find something more entertaining. I don't get why Hollywood does not do their homework on their Source material.
@@FadoraMan83 that wasn't a Hollywood movie it was actually made in Japan and has 4 sequels to it.
They look like kids in Halloween costumes not gonna lie. Good job sprinting this out though so quick
ytmp3, premiere, and a MacBook pro
@Agent Black Ed will exist in season 2. Remember, he wasn't in the firsst half of the anime either
@@bigbangzebraman351 Ed's a she
@@PXTother you got a sub from me bro keep it up!
@Agent Black Vicious looks like Drako Malfoy lol
I'm saying this now, Ein is literally the only character that's respected to the source material
This is a joke but yeah it's just a corgi that's all
that running in the red one looks so goofy
Why even try to replicate a masterpiece.
One thing the new intro does that's ABSOLUTLY better is the 'three guns firing' sequence using their individual guns, instead of just Spike's. That's pretty cool, and a very clean way to work in all three of the main characters. Overall, I think it ties together the group a little better, and it's even keeping a few cutouts open for when Ed joins the cast.
And the best shot of the intro, Ein, just Ein
@@erichfiedler1481 For me, I think it was the Spike and Vicious face off. Very epic shot imo.
The music on this is gonna be fire! Wooh Space Cowboy lets go!
1:19 The mosquito in my room after I show it cowboy bebop
*See you Space Mosquito*
The Netflix opening of Cowboy Bebop reminds me of how The Last Airbender opened with the “Water, Earth, Fire, Air” segment of the animated series’s opening…
A decent enough emulation, but ultimately feels shallow and surface-level.
While I do have high hopes that the live action will do really well, I also have a strong feeling that I will be disappointed. Prove me wrong, Netflix!
depressing we still have Outlaw star and Trigun
It would be interesting to see live action version of Trigun 💗🤞
this is more a cosplay than a proper adaptation.
Why the hell is Faye in the live action version welding a blade? I don't recall in any of the episodes or movie of Faye using a blade in combat.
Take another look at the movie.
The only show on Netflix where the "Skip Intro" button won't be an option.
Tbh, the reason the original is so loved, it’s because it doesn’t give away that much story, characters or their history. Also, call me a weirdo, but the part when Spike falls and hits his head is probably the best part of the opening…and it infuriated me when they didn’t even tried to stunt it.
Here we see a popular show that got cancelled after season 1.. And the other is Cowboy Bebop.
Me at 9:25 - *starts watching this video*
Me at 9:26 - *starts re-watching Cowboy Bebop for the 12389743786108961th time*

"“Oh well... Whatever happens, happens.”
Underrated comment 😂
Lmao
Ooooh boy this is gonna be a slap in the face to us Bebop fans. Can see that coming with the Netflix logo
0:56 That dude running in the Netflix version looks something out of looney toons lol
