I came to the conclusion that Netflix doesn’t understand marketing. The hit shows they had seem to be lucky finds and they think they can reproduce that by dumping money into a show and telling no one about it. Like fanboys will just watch whatever Daddy Netflix gives them.
Cowboy Bebop is a perfect example. They market it to die hard anime fans and no one else. Those fans hate it and it gets cancelled. The show wasn’t that bad and people like my dad would have loved it, had he ever heard about it.
I really like cowboy bebop the live action and anime and was crushed when they canceled it. But no one out side of anime circles hear about. Everyone I have told to watch it has loved it. They need to be more selective again and market those select shows and slowly build a catalog of good shows. Instead they where worried they where going to lose people when other companies started their own streaming services and just green lit everything and then canceled 99% of them before people could even find them.
i friggen loved it. So fucked that the loud anime crowd lost their shit that a live action show apparently didn't perfectly replicate in every single detail their beloved child.
Perfect became the murderer of really great.
Seriously im still so angry it got canned.
Finally someone like me! I really enjoyed that it wasn't a complete recreation of the anime, which would be impossible to recapture the perfect madness that was the original. Instead they kinda riffed on the madness of the original in their own way which I think really plays to the jazz tone of the show.
I fucking hate weeb fans for reasons like this they really are the worst, fans in general ruin good things. I also liked the live action GITS but that also took flak from other directions.
I too am still salty
