      I’m mad about Cowboy Bebop, which was actually pretty good, despite what you may have heard.

      Netflix didn’t advertise it to normies and die hard anime fans trashed it. I think if they had advertised it to people like my dad, it would have done well.

        Cho was the right guy for the job 20 years ago. Vicious did not need the Kylo Ren treatment. Faye was neutered. Ed was absent. Jet was perfect. Overall the show was too fast where it needed to be slow and too slow where it needed to be fast.

        Not surprised it got canceled. It’s a shame to think of what could have been.

          The Vicious stuff was my least favorite part. I actually liked how they changed that story quite a bit, but the scenes just didn’t hold up. Idk if it was casting or editing.

          Chris Yost did a great job with the three main characters though and I think that’s the right take as he goes into production on Dungeon Crawler Carl so I’m excited to see how that turns out.

      That was actually the straw that broke my back. Cancelled every subscription I had and went back to sailing.

      So I guess in a way I should thank them on helping me save hundreds of dollars a year in this economy.

      Still doesn’t fill the void left by the SCD cancellation…

          That was before everyone and their dogs has their own streaming services. “In this economy,” implies now with 20 different services out there. I’m still not paying anything. Hence the hundreds.
