as stated in the article it is going to come down to whether this is transfer bar gun or not, being a replica it can very well be. This would take one second of looking at the gun to figure out.

The hyper-stylized fight scene at the end of episode 7 is one of the best pieces of animation I have ever seen.

Watched the first 3 episodes, HOLY SHIT even it just maintains this level of quality through the rest of the series it will end up as something very special. The animation is so good especially in the fight scenes, they are simultaneously super fluid while having tremendous impact to the blows, and a gritty scrappy realness to the choreography. The world/mechanical design is top notch as well. I am not even going to get into the characters or plot due to spoilers, rest assured they are also great.

actor straight up has a weird face

Cowboy Bebop - live action They did slightly more right than they did wrong in attempting the almost impossible task of adapting what is often considered the GOAT anime. When they screwed up though it is really bad, looking at you Vicious. 6/10

The final episode does have some scenes that are shot for shot and line for line from the anime, and rightfully so, some of the shots are absolutely iconic. One I wished they changed though was the exchange between Vicious and Spike about having the blood of a killer and having bleed all that blood away, it is such a clunky line. It has bothered me since I watched the anime 20 years ago, I always wondered if it was one of those things that just doesn't translate well.

Finished it today. I am not sure if the changes in the last episode are beneficial or not to the series. Overall I liked more than I disliked. Vicious and his expanded role were the low part of the series.

What we do in shadows - season 3 Best season yet. The Sire episode was hilarious. 8.5/10

He was given bail for bail jumping?

I haven't got this far into the series but this is what I will now use as the absolute gold standard argument against staying as true to the original as possible when crossing mediums. Ed was a very "cartoony" character in the anime and trying to do that in real life is just... well just watch that clip. The actress and wardrobe and everything are dead on and it is the most cringe inducing thing I've seen in a long time.

This is going to be the pettiest compliant but I hate the face of the guy that plays Vicious.

these are my exact thoughts

Watched the first 3 episodes. Great budget and the overall feel is close enough but as mentioned translating anime to live action is just so hard, the closer you try to stick to the source material the harder it will get, but this is a damned if you do damned if you don't case, if they did make more changes to make it flow better as a live action all the anime fans would bitch up a storm about it. Despite his age I find Cho to fine as Spike except for the fight scenes where it is glaring that he is not a martial artist and is just going through VERY blocked out choreography, this is what most likely makes the fight scenes feel so stilted. Mustafa Shakir is great as Jet, honestly this is as good as it could get. I found Vicious to be an "eh whatever" villain in the anime and much worse in the live action, another victim of trying to keep it close to the original. The show is brightly lit but somehow devoid of color even in HDR.

Stay strong my 1080

I'm driving my 2003 until it dies

average transaction price on a new car is 45k now, that is outright insanity to me

The prosecution has been bad on this case like really bad, to the point where the one person that survived getting shot by Rittenhouse admitted on the stand that he was pointing a gun at Rittenhouse when he was shot, this was the prosecution's witness.

other than a sore arm I am fine today, so faster recovery for the booster than my second shot

got my moderna booster yesterday and just like with the second shot I feel like crap today

MST3k Live - Making Contact Not sure if a live theater performance while watching a movie counts but it was great time in judging on my clearly biased curve. If this is the cast for the new season we are in good shape. Some excellent songs. 9/10 Making Contact itself is just max rip off of all 80s kids movies

Dune (2021) Hard to judge this on its own, the movie just kind of ends. Really needs to be treated as the first half of a 5 hour movie but you can't watch the second half for a couple of years.

OCGN options are paying extremely good premiums right now, both calls and puts

We have appointments for our boosters next Sunday

F9 too long and outside of the the final sequence the action was not all that great, of course it had the dumb f&f stuff that is expected 5.5/10

Alice in Borderland First half was good with some surprises that I did not see coming. Second half got animey with some out there characters. 6.5/10
