In addition, this production has the return of Yoko kanno in music and the participation of Shinichiro Watanabe, the creator of the original series. Although perhaps he has a very difficult job being such an iconic show, which We have seen indicates that there will be a fair amount of fidelity to the source material.
Since this anime is full of iconic moments, we started to think about which of them we would like to see made with flesh and blood. That is why we bring you this Top 5 of Moments of Cowboy bebop that we already want to see in live-action.

That’s why we can’t wait to see how they adapt the episode Stray Dog Strut. After all it is one of the most chaotic and fun of Cowboy bebop.

We hope that they do dare to give us something similar and not simply put Ein like a lifelong crew member, without giving him his story.
