I was never a big fan of the anime itself, but somehow this live action caught me off guard and I totally love it.
The concept design is fantastic in the way it brings to life the limited drawings from the anime and this is one of the best looking space series in years.
I don't understand how some people don't enjoy all the weirdness of the atmosphere because I love the tone of the humor and most of all the visual references and in jokes. By the way was that the bar from el mariachi / DESPERADO Robert Rodriguez movie in the first episode of this series ?!... The whole thing feels like a cross between the 5th element, firefly , Killjoys and a bunch of other stuff but the 70s vibe gives it a really fun personality.
I like the humor, the characters and the classic space opera adventure feel and I don't mind the changes relating to the original anime at all.
Now I just want to go buy this to own it in Blu-ray and i hope they release a good concept art book from this series soon too.
Ignore the bad hype. If you love classic space opera with a retro feel this is for you.
And if you like this one also check out another series called Vagrant Queen which has a similar vibe and it's even more crazy. There's only one season of that one but it's a blast. I hope cowboy now gets a few more seasons and not end up like the Vagrant Queen series did.
