i think so. space cowboy genre is doable in live-action. sure it was flawed but i'm glad they took the challenge. it wasn't all bad.

Well, there is at least 1 petition to save this ''Cowboy Bebop'' series from its cancellation. Hope that goes well.

MsPerfectionist

ohhh really? where did u see it?

canflam

Just if you search for ''Cowboy Bebop'' online it comes up. The Comic Book Resources site is where I first found out about it.

All right. Great. Hope that it does well, though some don't want it to return as a Live Action show.

MsPerfectionist

we'll see what happens. Netflix sometimes listens to the audience and reverse their decision.

canflam

Do you have an example of them doing that?

sense8

Oh. Interesting. I did not know that. I haven't seen a lot at this time of ''Sense8''.

MsPerfectionist

sense8 is the most inclusive show by Netflix with great story about human connection and great action. i've rewatched it several times. it's a must-watch to me

canflam

OK. Great. Looks like I'm going to have some time to watch Anime this week, so I'll try to watch "Cowboy Bebop".

One Thing Remains

I watched Sense8 and really liked it. I didn't realize that they reversed their cancellation decision. Hope this means there are lots of new eps waiting on me.

MsPerfectionist

yes and no.

yes they reversed the cancellation (after petitions by fans) by green-lighting the 2-hours series finale special.

no there won't be any new episodes.

I came across the following: 82,000 People Are Demanding Netflix Un-Cancel This Show

A petition aimed at Netflix has nearly 83,000 signatures at the time of this writing asking the streamer to un-cancel its live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop. The show was canceled shortly after its premiere last month due to poor reviews, but many seem to think it deserves a second chance. Rather than giving up on the franchise altogether, petitioners want Netflix to raise the budget and try again.

User Ryan Proffer started the petition on Change.org, writing: "For those people who want a second [season] (or more) of the live-action Cowboy Bebop. It wasn't a direct copy of the anime but the world they put together was amazing and deserves a second season." Proffer has raised the goal over the last two weeks as signatures on the petition pile up. In the comments, many people remarked on how they felt about the live-action show. Many felt that the criticism was overblown, while others felt that Netflix owed this acclaimed franchise another try even if they did agree with the criticisms.

"While it wasn't perfect, it was still a fun show and entertaining on its own merits," one fan wrote. "I would love to see a Season 2 for the show to grow and evolve. I love Umbrella Academy on Netflix, but that second season evolved the show into something amazing. If Bebop could only get that chance to evolve like UA did, I will be happy..."

"Let them at least finish off the series, the show only needed to be 2 seasons. It's a disservice to the people who did enjoy it," added another. A third fan wrote: "The show has its own charms and should not be canceled just because a bunch of people who love the anime, which I am one of those people, decided that no matter how good or how well the show tried to do they were going to hate it anyway. I think the show should be given a second chance since it only had one season to show that it can encapsulate what makes cowboy bebop such an enjoyable ride and I don't think one season would have been able to do so."

Cowboy Bebop was originally a Japanese anime series created by a production team referred to collectively by the pen name Hajime Yatate. It is a sci-fi neo-noir set in the near future, at a time when humanity has colonized most of the solar system but left Earth uninhabitable. It follows a crew of bounty hunters trying to escape their troubled pasts and eke out a living in this scattered, lonely new world.

The original Cowboy Bebop anime and its new live-action adaptation are both streaming now on Netflix. So far, Netflix has not responded to the petition for more new episodes
