FYI Shogun assassin is the American release re-cut of I think the first 2 Lone Wolf and Cub films (they made 6). I’d recommend the originals.

Cowboy Beebop is/was an anime series.
I liked it.

Oh, I know. I just mean that this isn’t just stylistically “an anime”, it’s a very specific one that set its own style completely. Even down to the musical choices. I love Cowboy Bebop.

How is it that there has not been an Lone Wolf and Cub anime? This baffles me.

It would almost certainly be better and make more sense in its context as an anime. Plus a little sexy Cara Dune? Lol love that bit from the “trailer”.

I’m…cautiously optimistic about it? It seems like they’ll be telling different stories than the anime, which is way better than trying to recreate the original episodes. Plus Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno are on board, which ratchets up the optimism significantly…so from “no fucking way” to “I’ll watch the first episode and see.”

Okay, not a real movie or anime series, but He and his son made a cameo in an episode of Samurai Jack.

A kid who looked remarkably similar to Daigoro was in Samurai Champloo.
