Thread 280320833

This show will be remembered for decades.

People will remember that it could never compete with Cowboy Bebop.

>>280320833 (OP)
Looks like Zoomer Bebop lmao

>see the ad on tv
>by the guy behond Cowboy bebop
It really is modern Bebop. But has a shot to be good; how's the veredict, /a/?

>>280320833 (OP)
I forgot it even dropped?

>>280320879
>But has a shot to be good; how's the veredict, /a/?
Watanabe is a hack and Bebop was successful in spite of him.

>>280320986
Shame. I guess I still keep my run of not watching anime.

>>280320833 (OP)
No. People barely remember anime a few days after a season ends unless they get a trailer for a second season a weeks later.

>>280320833 (OP)
Shoe-in for "wasted potential" threads

I liked it. Not sure if I’ll ever watch it again. But I certainly don’t regret watching it once.

>>280320833 (OP)
I'll sure remember the shame of having told a coworker this could be good and turned out to be absolute shit

>>280320833 (OP)
Dude, this couldn't even compete with Carole & Tuesday.

>>280320833 (OP)
It was alright, but it's always going to be live in the shadow of it's far better predecessor. It should've tried to do it's own thing instead of trying to be Cowboy Bebop 2.0

>>280321629
It felt more like champloo than bebop

>>280320833 (OP)
>glasses nigger

>>280320833 (OP)
>It's not a Cowboy Bebop 2.0 so it's bad
Why are you people so retarded?

>>280320833 (OP)
Every new anime is trying to be the next bepop and is easily forgettable.

>>280320833 (OP)
What's the plot like? Any significant character deaths? I can't stand tragic or sad themes in my stories, and I have a sneaking suspicion this show would be full of those.

>>280322698
shit is nonsensical so don't bother unless you want to know how badly-written this anime is

>>280322957
I don't mind if a story is "badly written". In my experience, "good writing" usually translates to "frustrating, annoying, tragic miserywank with a dash of cheating and NTR". The opposite of "good writing" therefore does not equal a bad story.

>>280322698
everything is just an excuse to show flashy fight choreography and animation, the end

>>280322246
he is the Ein stand-in, cause smart animal, get it?

>>280322998
Ok, so what's the plot like then? Any significant character deaths?

>>280320833 (OP)
Did Watanabe seriously looked at the garbage that Hollywood have been dumping on the last decade and assumed that everyone in the west loves DEI crap?

>>280320833 (OP)
I started Space Dandy again and in one episode it's already more fun than all of Lazarus.

>>280320833 (OP)
If it wasn't for Watanabe it'd already be forgotten about. The only reason anyone will really ever remember it because it's him. The soundtrack and ep07 ED is worth remembering, but they're not even that fantastical. Missed potential the show.

>5 people being brought into the same lazarus gang to find Skinner whose invention which has been used to be the ultimate painkiller turns out to be lethal in a couple of years after taking it and he has to be found under 30 days
>spend most of it dicking around although Skinner himself was already found by episode 3 but of course the black dude was too blind to see it and only realized he was there all along
>the dicking around part was mostly to show the background of these characters
>the hacker girl Elaina (the girl on the left) came from a cultist family that just blew itself apart by the end of one episode because funny
>Chris was an ex-russian sply who was also a dyke
>Axel was a prisoner
>no one knows about Doug other than he beat the shit out of dude who said to him that he can't be the Black Einstein, oh also he had a connection with some train company
>Leland came from an affluent family but decided to run away because i forgot
>turns out they were all gathered in the same gang because by the end it's revealed all 5 were present during Skinner's ambush by the military that ended up leaking his invention, killing everyone but not them because their DNA was mutated to survive it
>also there's Soryu dude who belonged to a Hundun program who pretty much existed to justify the cost to hire a choreographic team
>the only notable death is Skinner himself who was dying from his creation

>>280323193
Dandy was peak.

>>280322698
It's Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop, it has episodes dedicated to world building and character before having a few final episodes dedicated to the main arc.

A vocal minority of conservative hate it because there's a transgender side character that appears for a few seconds in episode 2.

>>280323276
pretty much. It was mid. 5/10 i've seen far worse and far better.

the whole anime is built upon contrivance and piling coincidink, there's just nothing natural about it just like Chris' look

>>280323175
lol inadvertently so redpilled

>>280323332
Yeah just disregard the fact that the entire premise of the show is an extreme urgency that somehow gets completely lost in dumbass side plots that go nowhere because everything that ever happens absolutely has to be about your petty idpol shit.
Fuck off

>>280323262
I would have loved it even if it weren't done by Watanabe, there's not a lot of anime done in this spy-fi genre at all. If anything, Watanabe is what caused people to increase their expectations and become disappointed in it.

Lycoris Recoil was on the same level as this but people loved it and wanted more, me included.

>>280323419
Have you seen or watched any film/show with a doomsday premise at all? They rarely solve anything in the first or middle, it's always last minute. The same thing happened in Macross when earth got annihilated by an alien force

>>280323508
Another popular example would be DBZ where people tolerated Goku's mistakes on Planet Namek.

>>280323276
Alright that doesn't sound too bad. I'll put it on my backlog.

>>280323332
>equating it to classics just for retarded political reasons
Kill yourself.

>>280323648
thanks for proving my point, brainrotten dumbass

>>280323332
Wait it has trannyshit? Never mind then, dropped

It was really, really bad. I honestly didn't even know there was a tranny in it, because I was paying so little attention to the show it was that boring.

>>280323694
You had a point to make? All I heard was delusional nonsense as expected from cuckservatives

>>280323781
Not my fault you're letting your twittermind stop you from seeing everything in monkey tribalism mode

It was shit and it was clear that there was a power struggle between the creators and the producers.

>>280323332
>you have to pretend bad anime is good because muh politics
Go die in a fire.

>>280320833 (OP)
wdym? I'll never forget Eleina for as long as god has given me the ability to imagine her as I fap! Also this cutie too

>>280323332
HOLY BASED!

Biggest problem I had with the show is how fucking ugly it is. The backgrounds are disgusting.

>>280320986
>Watanabe is a hack
>bebop
>samurai champloo
>kids on the slope
>space dandy

I liked it but it had one huge problem. There is no impact on the general population when everyone thinks they're gonna die in a month. Everyone goes on with their daily lives as usual.

>>280322995
Its not the "so bad its good" kind of writing. Its just aimless and uninteresting.

>>280320879
it's literally gay

>>280327062
picked up

>>280323332
I saw the clip and it didn't bother me, Watanabe is too much of a boomer liberal to even know "deadnaming" is a problematic thing or whatever. Not so different from something like Tokyo Godfathers. Meanwhile Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night was far worse with how its "non-cis" character (was she even really "trans", it was a goofy Tumblr tier identity bordering on otherkin) was specifically informed by nerdy culture war bullshit

>adult swim greenlights western cartoon about a miracle drug
>art style is hideous but storytelling is kino of the highest order
>adult swim orders one of the most legendary anime creators of all time to make a cartoon about a miracle drug
>art style is beautiful but the storytelling is a clusterfuck and the worst show of the creator's career

>>280325924
When I first saw an ad for it I thought it was some western cartoon doing the mimicking anime thing, only to find out that it was an anime, but still has that feel of western copy.

>>280322355
Just like bebop

>>280320833 (OP)
I forget this show exists swiftly after I stop seeing visuals for it.
It's not just that I'm just not thinking about it it's that it's completely gone until I see the title reminding me.

>>280320833 (OP)
Ir filtered /a/

>>280320986
To be fair, Bebop is more than 25 years old at this point. A person doesn't always have that same spark ages later

>>280323276
>also a dyke
Disgusting

Watanabe is washed up with his best stuff being 20 years ago. The most recent alright thing he did was Space Dandy and that was because he lent his name to it without being much involved.

>>280328567
>Space Dandy was 10 years ago

Biggest example of a 5/10 anime I can give. Not good but not that awful either, but you can tell that he just had cool moments and ideas in his mind but wasn't sure how to get to them so he just made stupidity happen in the middle until we got to the scenes he actually thought about.

>>280327790
What's the cartoon?

>>280320833 (OP)
watanabe is a fucking hack
