About this listen

Netflix's Cowboy Bebop was announced in 2017 to mixed reception, which eventually turned to tentative excitement once set photos dropped in early 2021. So what went wrong? Will there ever be a good US production of a live action anime adaption (did you know Mark Hamil was in an anime adaption in the 90s)? The weebs speculate wildly on what went wrong.
