    I came to the conclusion that Netflix doesn’t understand marketing. The hit shows they had seem to be lucky finds and they think they can reproduce that by dumping money into a show and telling no one about it. Like fanboys will just watch whatever Daddy Netflix gives them.

    Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example. They market it to die hard anime fans and no one else. Those fans hate it and it gets cancelled. The show wasn’t that bad and people like my dad would have loved it, had he ever heard about it.

      Hard agree on the live action Cowboy Bebop. It was pretty good, all in all.

      Honestly they nailed Jet so hard, it was fantastic. Just his whole vibe captured perfectly.

      The original stuff was pretty good. It faltered hardest when it tried to recreate shots one for one from the anime.

      Well, it faltered the hardest with Ed in the final scene. Not a good lasting impression.

      My dad actually really liked the cowboy bebop live action show, I think he said he even watched some of the abime after, which is pretty crazy as I don’t think he’s ever watched anime intentionally on his own before.
