The live action Bebop cast isn't busy, just reuse them

>>219815660
Only millennials who grew up with it do. It's extremely mediocre.

Revy- Sydney Sweeney
Balalaika- Rhea Ripley

i cast no one and never destroy this series with western live-action garbage
if he wants to make another season fine but no live action
>>
>>219815609
Why would I want a live action version?
I can just watch the anime again and that's enough. Make something original instead, remakes are gay.
>>
>>219815761
>don't remember a bit about the plot
Because there isn't a plot. It's a weekly vignette that the crew participates in that might stretch out for a few episodes.
It starts out trying to be a gritty hong kong action movie, but then a mute goth girl comes in and starts deflecting bullets with a chainsaw.
Or loli shota twin assassins wielding m60.
It's actually so fucking boring to watch. There is no tension. Ever. You know for a fact that Revy is only going to get shot when the plot demands it. All the epic shoot out are so hollow because of it. I'm pretty sure there is a scene in Second Barrage where Revy literally runs in a straight line at people shooting at her.
There is one good episode when Rock confronts Revy on her retarded self-loathing, and then nothing happens. Nothing comes out of it. Nothing developed. Maybe in manga, but I'm not reading gook picture books based on anime I disliked.

I'm sick of live action shit

you gay or somethin?
>>
>>219816744
the plots always end in an anti-climax. the maid is supposed to be super strong like a terminator but when they finally fight she doesn't do anything and the whole thing is just played like a joke. the twins just get shot by some guy with a sniper rifle.
>>
>>219816901
Nah he’s correct this is one of the most retarded animes ever made
Had some kino moments, mostly revolving around the cool PT boat/modern piracy in lawless SEA vibes, the Russian mob led by dommymommy, and the Nazi U boat episode.
But to imply that this slop had “plot” or “themes” even, just lmao

correct
>>
>>219817043
The main theme centers around Okajima being changed by the circumstances of having been betrayed as a desk jobber good boy, and now having to live a lawless life. His back and forth with Revy epitomizes that. It's not only him changing, though, but also him trying to pull Revy away from her extreme of the spectrum. A search for balance.
>>219817115
Fuck Revy. Valmet rules.
>>
>>219817043
>mentions the u-boat episode
>the one where revy and rock actually try to connect a bit and their conversation under the waves feeds into the central themes that last an entire season and aren't resolved until they visit rock's home and he confronts his past
look its an action anime, it isnt the deepest thing (actually it spells almost everything out for you...) but you've gotta be retarded not to see the extremely elementary themes going on, to say you don't enjoy it is fine but to say they don't exist means (you) aren't aware of them and/or are retarded
>>
>>219816901
>ignores the entire plot and themes about being between 2 worlds
You mean the first episode?
That's not plot, that's setup pertaining to one character. That parallel disappears after Rock joins.
What "two worlds?" Rock never returns or brushes against his old life again. There is not contrast. He is with quirky merc retards. Him not being as gritty and nonchalant about violence is not duality. He is a straight man of the group. I repeat, there was a great dynamic in episode 7 where Rock confronts Revy and I was genuinely excited because I thought the actual plot was about to begin and this would be developed. Nada. Defaulted back to the status quo because Robberta time.
>points out the fun parts of the anime
I'd be okay with it if it were fun anime throughout. If it was like Tiger on the Beat (as long as we are aping from Hong Kong), which has chainsaw fights and a main character dipping women in cocaine as interrogation. Except the show is permeated with callow "grit" and "tragedy" it tries to insist that what is happening is actually very mournful and dark and that these are tortured souls, except it's pic related. The show thought it cooked so hard with these two that it put a special ED on them, clearly pretending that what happened to them is supposed to be sad. Except it's laughable, ridiculous anime bullshit.

no it doesn't
but twin terminators were very cringe

confirmed retarded never actually watched the show

It absolutely does. Not even funny how inferior Black Lagoon is.

>>219817165
>>219817244
Maybe if the whole setting wasn’t laughably retarded even for anime standards I could take it somewhat seriously
>oh I am a le Japanese salaryman who is now a pirate somehow (just an excuse to have a feckless audience self insert +femdom bait for Revy
>oh I am a le sexy badass bitch who swears all the FUCKING time but I’m also le damaged (did I mention how BADASS I am though also look at my huge tits??!)
These aren’t real characters, they are cardboard cutouts and vehicles for fetish scenarios. Their backstories were irrelevant and boring, I literally only brought up the U boat episode because the flashbacks to the captain are one of the few things I can remember from this dreck. The side characters hard carried, Rock and Revy were both cringe factories

Back at you retard for never watching the show, that's not "two worlds"
Her whole dilemma is deciding whether taking the mantle of the crime leader is her "fate" that she shouldn't be rejecting or avoiding because they will inevitably drag her in anyway.
What do you think the whole dice claptrap was about?
I guess people who like the show are actually headcanoning what it was about.

It literally is though. Roanapur and its inhabitants are defined by their lawless violent nature; Rock trying to be a peaceful moralizing force as if he was still in his old life working a normal civilized job is directly opposite to that very world he is also trying live in.
