Following some stylish teasers, Netflix has finally released a full trailer for Cowboy Bebop, and this first look at the live-action adaptation should assuage any major fan-concerns, as it does a terrific job of capturing the vibe of the original anime.

The trailer begins with Spike Spiegel (John Cho) bidding farewell to his old life as a member of the Red Dragon crime syndicate to begin his new career as a bounty hunter (or, cowboy) alongside Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir) and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) - who he takes an instant dislike to.

Check out the trailer below along with a new poster, and let us know if you plan on giving Cowboy Bebop a go when it hits Netflix on November 19.

"Cowboy Bebop is an action-packed space Western about three bounty hunters, aka cowboys, all trying to outrun the past. As different as they are deadly, Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir), and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda) form a scrappy, snarky crew ready to hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals — for the right price. But they can only kick and quip their way out of so many scuffles before their pasts finally catch up with them."

We recently learned that anime composer Yoka Kano, who has worked on the likes of Vision of Escaflowne, Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, Turn A Gundam, Macross Plus, and more, created the soundtrack.

Cowboy Bebop is exec produced and written by Christopher Yost (Thor), who also serves as showrunner along with Andre Nemec, Josh Appelbaum, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio; Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios; Yasuo Miyakawa, Masayuki Ozaki, and Shin Sasaki of Sunrise Inc. Watanabe is on board as a consultant.

The space stuff actually looks really decent. The ships. You can see the effort to try and capture the aesthetic and world. It just looks really campy and cheap though. Very stagey.

Jet is great casting.

As someone who hates anime and knows nothing about this, that looks [frick]ing awesome and very original. We need more content with a bit of flavour and style. But if I’m being totally honest it just really makes me miss Firefly too.

Also, the one in the boobs pleases me.

@PsychoBatemen - yes, seemingly a very original one. You did see that I mentioned the anime in my comment right?

Also adaptations are often very original.

Dont feel like Cho and Pineda are capturing the vibe well. I liked the CGI on the ship and certain shots, but it feels too green screeny.

Looks fun and I dig the cast so i'm definitely going to watch.

Not TOO familiar with the source, know a little bit.

You know? Watching this trailer made me realize we already kinda have another Bebop of sorts in the Guardians of the Galaxy, but it's an ode to rock instead of jazz and the Spike equivalent is a total dork.

As for the show, the live-action stuff looks kinda...meh? I dunno, doesn't look as noir-ish as I expected. The Lost Session promo they released recently was better done in that regard. The space stuff looks fine though.

Ghost In The Shell:Stand Alone Complex is a f*cking classic.

Looks super cheesy, and both incredibly expensive and super cheap at the same time.

But, it can't damage the original, so why not give it a go. I'm interested, but I've watched the original so many times that "here are the greatest hits in live action" isn't going to cut it. Looks like a relative mix but maybe leaning too hard on existing plots.

But you'll never hit the level of cool that Yamadera brings to Spike, coupled with some of the best Japanese scriptwriting in anime, (we're quite a distance from "what the actual f" here). But if you've never seen a picture of the guy, prepare for a shock if you Google him.
