The show takes the influence deeper with many scenes set in Ana’s (Tamara Tunie) jazz club and making Julia (Elena Satine) a jazz singer even though in the anime, she was associated with the syndicate tied to Spike’s nemesis Vicious (Alex Hassell). Each episode keeps the iconic “Tank!” theme song composed by Yoko Kanno as well as the “Real Folk Blues” ending theme. While Netflix’s version comes with a handful of changes, anime fans would appreciate the tribute to jazz, which is intertwined with Cowboy Bebop’s legacy. Now that the live-action Cowboy Bebop is finally streaming, we’re outlining are some key differences and similarities between the show and its source material. The news was met with mixed responses, with longtime fans wondering if the adaptation and its characters can live up to the original.
Fast forward to 2018, streaming juggernaut Netflix announced that it would be releasing its own adaptation of the famous anime, led by showrunner André Nemec. It’s no wonder why the show has been in talks for a live adaptation for several years, facing numerous roadblocks and changes from budget constrictions to talks of Keanu Reeves taking on the role of Spike.
