^ "cautiously pessimistic" is a good way to put it. I don't doubt Netflix's ability to produce quality content - Altered Carbon (which was essentially a Ghost in the Shell wannabe) was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable. However, I'm not convinced that Netflix can do justice to Cowboy Bebop. In fact, part of me wishes that the general consensus would concede to the idea that some things are just better animated, and not everything needs a live-action counterpart - but that's a debate for another time. I just think that Cowboy Bebop is far too peculiar (even by anime standards) to adequately recreate.
I agree 100% The score she did for Bebop was no less than stellar, and her contribution to the overall aesthetic and drive of the series simply cannot be overstated!
So yeah, my hopes for this are not high, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
