I’m cautious… Cowboy Bebop was my favorite anime of that 1990s/2000s-turn era, and while trailers looked interesting, the Netflix’s live action wasn’t very good (My main complain was that the villain Vicious was a stupid senseless caricature of the anime one, for no good reason at all) but I kinda enjoyed it, kinda eating a nice yesterday’s pizza direct from the fridge, it was something good sometime ago, but I’m in a rush. And The Sandman is my favorite dark comic, no doubt about it. So, I feel like “here we go again, let’s put my disappointment hat already”.
That was regarding Netflix… and about Gaiman’s recent adaptations, well, Good Omens was very good (but that was BBC/Amazon) while American Gods had a nice first season, awful second and redeeming third, but cancelled.
And coming back to The Sandman trailer, it looks like some the sets are similarly produced to those of Cowboy Bebop and acting direction is similar (same/similar team behind it?) and feel somewhat empty/plastic… I don’t know, I don’t feel very optimistic about this, but I will see it and surely enjoy some or most of it nonetheless.
