Interesting. How they will keep up this style of filmmaking for an entire episode, I do not know.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

That was very good.

His boofed hair will hide stuntmen well.
I just saw Cho in ST http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=3588 I hope this marks a return to his Harold roots.

2 eps deep in the original anime. It certainly has style. It’s a fine mash-up of sci-fi, westerns, & anime with a driving jazz ska beat. It feels a little dated now but I imagine that back in 98 it was cutting edge.
I’m not feeling the martial arts of it. There was a funny nunchuck bit in ep2, plus a Bruce Lee billboard and a corgi-napper named Hakim like Jabbar in Game of Death. But it’s more about gun play so far. It has a post-apocalyptic ghetto feel, like Bladerunner, something now done to death in anime. There’s humorous bits and lots of nasty public toilets so far. A rogue bounty hunter tale. Cho will be able to nail Spike as long as he’s given the leeway. If the effects are up to snuff, this should make for a fine live action. It’s not blowing me away but I'm not bored either. It is interesting from a historical anime perspective. Will keep watching.

2 more eps in. Slowly making that asshole conversion. The show has some cool 60s style and the music drives it. Since they have the original composer for the live action, I hope they can echo that there.
The rogue crew expands. The space casino was cool. It reminded me of when Vegas had the Star Trek experience. That was awesome. I was there for Phish and our hotel was across a monster Vegas parking lot, but we hung out there because it was like being on a space station. There’s definitely some visionary stuff for its time. The space battle style seem echoed in The Expanse. The eco-terrorists were slightly off-putting to me - 2nd reference, the first was Hakim’s comment to Spike - set up for this perhaps. The sea rats reminded me of chimera like creatures echoed by Avatar The Last Airbender. Valentine is hawt in that anime way. I luv the corgi and expect more from it.

E5 sets up a little back story and a nemesis. And swords.
My big question now is does Daniella Pineda have the sassy chops for Valentine? She is a local gal, from Oaktown, graduated from Mills. I've not seen anything she's been in and Faye Valentine is a tough act.

They really nailed the look of the universe. The music is soooooo good.

Agreed on the music. That’s what levels it up. The setting reminds me faintly of Möbius art.
