Netflix's Cowboy Bebop was announced in 2017 to mixed reception, which eventually turned to tentative excitement once set photos dropped in early 2021. So what went wrong? Will there ever be a good US production of a live action anime adaption (did you know Mark Hamil was in an anime adaption in the 90s)? The weebs speculate wildly on what went wrong.
