![]() ![]() She then imprisons Vicious, declares him an elder and that she will speak on his behalf.Two young women clad in ninja suits and black masks rain punches and karate chops on a frat brother in his dimly lit bedroom amid his yells and objections. Julia arrives, shoots Vicious, claims she wants to be the head of the syndicate and have Spike next to her, so when Spike says "no thanks" she shoots him and he falls down the window with shattered coloured glass pieces etc. And you know the fight in the church scene, where Spike and Vicious are fighting and you are waiting for Vicious to toss Spike out of the window? Scene very well done, until. When that fails she goes for the throne becoming a ruthless bastard etc. Then she learns that Spike is alive and she tries geting to him. Anyway in the live action first Julia is married to Vicious, who abuses her. THe night club is also how Julia met Spike and Vicious. She is a singer in Ana's night club - another change, Ana does not own a run down drug store, but a night club and GRen, yes, THAT Gren, the one who should be a Titan war veteran framed by Vicious, who took a ton of drugs that changed his hormones so much that he became a hermaphrodite, anyway THAT GREN is now a very queer manager/talent scout for Ana's night club, I think this is another one for the woke points bingo. Do you remember the sweet sot angel who dies when she and Spike attempt to escape for the second time? Yeah, scratch that. Shinichiro Watanabe himself, despite all, has always tried his best to include diverse characters, different body types, etc. The casting is very diverse, which comes at no surprise. Props for the casting, they all actually do an amazing job. I really appreciated the effort and work that went into this. A++ for costuming and scenography, these were really spot on, although we don't see much of the space, because I guess that CGI would be very expensive and I may have noticed that some frames were taken from the original anime. Shinichiro Watanabe, the original Cowboy Bebop director, was kept as consultant and given the result I am fairly sure he had a lot to say in the matter. ![]() Netflix decided to stick the whole series in its usual 10 episodes formats, which is a choice I don't agree with, but ok. ![]() I still recommend you to watch the anime, it is more complete and you get 26 episodes. It's a good watch, the vibes are there, the actors are well in character, and besides a few things I will talk about later on it is enjoyable. ![]()
