However, I'm enjoying Hollywood's anime trend and am anxious to see what they're going to do with Cowboy Bebop. Unfortunately both Dragonball and this adaptation are at Fox, which isn't a good sign so far, but maybe they'll find a good director. I think it's the perfect series to adapt, but like Dragonball, I worry that it may get screwed up in translation if it falls into the wrong hands. It is easily one of the most popular mainstream anime series and is beloved by many people even if they're not hardcore anime fans. Sony released a full-length animated film titled Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heavens Door in 2001 where it was greeted with immense praise from fans worldwide. The series follows the adventures of a group of bounty hunters traveling on their spaceship, the Bebop, in the year 2071. The show first aired in Japan in early 1998 and was brought over to America in 2001 on Adult Swim. The photo to the right comes from Bam Kapow's gallery of Faye Valentine costumes.

When I met with them in Japan, one of the first things that I brought up was the experience that we had on A Scanner Darkly, and how hard we worked to remain faithful to Philip K. "I have such an enormous admiration for its creators, that our first and foremost concern is going to be a real degree of faithfulness to the tone of the movie, to the mix of genres, and so on and so forth. Stoff goes on to explain his enthusiasm for the project and their attempts to remain faithful. I'm not exactly a big fan myself, but considering Hollywood is caught up in the anime trend, I'm definitely excited to see this one come to life as well. We just signed it the other day." If you're not so familiar with Bebop, it's an incredibly popular Japanese anime TV series that first aired back in 1998 and has become a hit here in the US as well as Japan. Apparently it's very fresh news: "I'm really excited to be working on it, and it's in the really early stages.
