Netflix's live-action take on the anime classic Cowboy Bebop was supposed to mark a glorious return to form for the streamer's adaptation attempts, but the cancellation after one season and 10 episodes put all hopes to rest.In an interview with Forbes, the animator saidbecause it didn't feel like the anime that he oversaw. "For the new Netflix live-action adaptation, they sent me a video to review and check," Watanabe shared.
He continued, "It was clearly not Cowboy Bebop and I realised at that point that if I wasn't involved, it would not be Cowboy Bebop. I felt that maybe I should have done this. Although the value of the original anime is somehow far higher now." "I will value it and treasure it. I'm just really deeply appreciative that anyone would care. It's stunning to me…It was very shocking and I was bummed."
