Cowboy Bebop Opening Credits

Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime series. I was worried about Netflix’s live-action adaptation (especially given what they did with Death Note), but they just released the open credits.

Let me say this: it looks spot on.

They used the same opening score music from the anime (called Tank!), the style and tone is the same, and although the scenes are not one-for-one, it’s very close, especially in the first section and the very end. My only worry is, “Why is Ed missing?”

Anyway, if you’re a Cowboy Bebop fan, have a look at the opening credits.

And just for comparison, here’s a side-by-side with the original opening credits for the anime series. Maybe, just maybe, Netflix will get this right.
