I am glad the Bebop movie was made the way it was, but I have a feeling that it won't be out here in the US anytime soon because of the storyline hitting kinda close to home... I did found it creepy that the city that the movie was in was like some Neo NYC, which I am guessing that is what it was since they are/were supposed to be on Mars?
Bebop movie is MUCH BETTER then the Escaflowne movie.. IMHO

on a semi-related note, does anyone have any Lupin eps theyd care to share on streamload or anywhere else? ive been trying to catch a glimpse at this series since its supposed to share some similarities with Bebop (well, Spike is supposed to be similar to Lupin anyway). plus, miyazaki had something to do with the series, so it should be great...
just wondering... :-/

Well, that wasn't very hard to better than that... ^^;

Warning, spoilers
I'm probably the only one who feels this way, but I HATED Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
I mean, I really thought it blew.
Warning, spoilers
1. No remixes of Tank, or The Real Folk Blues. These two songs really symbolized a huge part of Cowboy Bebop to me, I'd think they should have included some variation of em.
2. The music in general, it blew, I'm too lazy to check hte credits, but that couldn't have been Yoko Kanno, could it? The music in the TV series really MADE the series. Well, maybe not, but they were a huge part of it. I thought they really fit with the style. There were a few tracks which seemed slightly reminicent of those in the TV series, but for the most part, I thought it didn't fit, especialy the track that played during the opening credits (amazing animation though)
3. The plot....... I dunno, I kinda felt there was a bit left out. I can't point to any specific plot holes, but it just felt as if there was a loss of continuity somewhere. Also, the details of the nano "virus" are a little vague. And there is the whole fact that they never try and give an explaination to why Spike and Vincent look like the exact same guy, just 20 years later.
The whole dealy with the scientist, hiding in that middle eastern community, under a new identity, I dunno, it just seemed like little more than an excuse to throw in an explaination for the nano virus. It also didn't seem that feasable (not like anything really does in anime), but I just didn't buy it.
The plot itself just seemed like a way to tie together a bunch of concepts, and a few fight scenes.
I found myself imensly bored throughout most of the film.
4. Style, I just didn't see the same type of stuff that really made Cowboy Bebop good. I can't really put my finger on it, but there was just something that made me say "this isn't cowboy bebop". Sure, Spike, and Faye, Ed, and Ein, and of course Jet were all there, but I dunno. Just didn't feel like cowboy bebop to me.
The cameos by the old men felt way too forced, and it was obvious they were just looking for an excuse to throw in the Swordfish.
5. Fight scenes. The fight scenes, while damn good, are short, and sparse. There are really only 3 fight scenes, 2 (both between Spike and Vincent) that were any good.
Overall, I was not impressed, what can I say. I may be the only one out there who thinks this, but I hated the film. And yes, Cowboy Bebop (TV series) is infact, my favorite anime series.
PS: The Escaflowne movie sucked ass.

Re: Warning, spoilers
Spoilers ahead.
These songs were "important" because they were the OP/ED, obviously, but apart from that? ^^;
Er... Which ones? ^^;;
I thought one of the main points of the music in Cowboy Bebop was its variety?
The only thing that bothered me was that it looked like Vincent was somehow "immortal" at least twice, but there never was some kind of explanation as to how he survived exactly...

I don't. I mean... "Why?" ^^;

It's her.
You think it should have been "reminiscent" of the TV series musics?

What did you want to know? ^^;
What?? ^___^;
Er... Were you "not impressed", or did you "hate it"? ^^;
It certainly did.
well I do disagree, thats a starter...
I'm kinda glad that those songs were not used in the movie. While I love those songs, and they do symbolize the show, I beleive its for that reason that I'm glad they weren't used. I would have felt that I was watching just another episode. I wanted to feel like it was something "more".
generally, I thought the music was good. That song that started out with something to the effect of "don't wanna pop your cherry", being played along with the air planes in flight. didn't seem to "fit" to me. But pretty much everything else was good.
I felt it had a lot of bebop style. comedy/action/drama... it was all there
I thought the fight with Electra was one of the best of the movie. Even though it was really short, it was intense :)
perhaps because I like the bo. or in this case... a mop.
yea... sure is good, ain't it? But I think this made a welcome addition.
can't wait for the kenshin oav....
now THAT I completely agree with ;D

I love YaBB 1 Gold!
well, at least everyone agrees with my closing statement........

I need more sleep -_- zzz
Mo' spoilers.
This may seem like a stretch, but I think they left it in there to give you the sense of Vincent as being trapped in some dream/nightmare... so he really couldn't die if he was totally 100% alive.
More philosophical than reality based, and I liked it because it added to his mystery (the grenade scene was the coolest looking scene with vincent imo).
Yeah I'm with you all on that, the movie sucked some serious buttocks.

I totaly hated hte soundtrack, like, with a vengence.
I didn't care for the music during the opening sequence at all, that music when faye makes her enterance make me want to wretch.
The music when Spike fights Electra sounded a lot like one of the tracks off of the TV series, but I didn't even like that :/
The music when Spike is about to be thrown off the tram seemed so damn cliched.
I don't recall the music during the swordfish fight, I should probably watch it again. But I always end up getting so damn bored.

that movie is great......I am once again going to chime in on IRC
This sreamload stuff just sucks.....that movie was made off a cam...someone brought a digital camera in the theater and did a really good job. Also the Vampire Hunter D movie is out...but it is a cam as well and it is not so good I heard...but we will see.
