I was going to send Batou a survival kit comprised of food and things. I'm going to have to wait for my next paycheck now.
Live action Bebop...interesting. Music by Yoko Kanno, I hope?
Um, exactly how many anime-to-American-movie adaptations have their been? I can't think of very many, honestly. [When I saw 'Spirits Within' on Sci-Fi, I was so confused it wasn't funny.]
Pockets of Flordia all-over the country...That is a scary thought.
Believe me boys, I still listen to your podcasts. P:
Okay, Batou? There are some things we seriously don't need to know. And the fact that you're half-naked is one of them. Ichigo, thank you for being dressed.
Eh, I normally don't watch any movies based on anime, games or books. Death Note was a huge exception to that little rule (and now the Jdrama version of Absolute Boyfriend and RH+). So, even though I liked Cowboy Bebop, if they make a movie of it, I might not watch it. Hell, I might not watch the DBZ one. I flipped through the Shounen Jump magazine that had pictures. They seriously screwed Goku over...

I thought going to work naked was everyone's worst nightmare.
But hey, if it's your dream, Batou, more power to ya.
Wow, job offers left and right for Ichigo.
I'm interested in this news of a Cowboy Bebop live-action. Granted, it probably won't be 100% faithful to the anime (adaptations of anything rarely are), but I have more confidence in it than the Dragonball film. I think the CB formula of scifi-noir-spaghetti western could appeal to a broader audience in the US than Dragonball. It could occupy the same niche as something like Firefly/Serenity.
Now that Black Lagoon: Second Barrage will finally be available on DVD here, the news of a third BL season is most excellent.
"Little island versions of Florida" really are scary. Florida has a lot of issues because the massive amounts of retirees here mean that there's not enough focus on important things like education. Retirees don't care about everyone else's kids. Hm, that was a mini rant...
The Kyle Hebert chat was pretty cool. And it was insane to see how many people were crammed into the Chat Lobby for it, something like 78 at its peak.
Good show this week. I've been kind of spaced from other stuff lately but I'm glad I started listening again. Hope whichever job you pick is a good one, Ichigo.
I have to say, Ichigo's view on anime adaptations is the same with my view on book adaptations (Harry Potter in particular). They're good movies, as movies go, but absolutely suck when compared to the books. I can't talk about the Harry Potter series seriously with someone who's only watched the movie series due to the multifaceted depth the books give compared to the limitations of the film version. American film though, they need to sell to a broader audience than us geeks. While we are many in number, I doubt we alone can support many films like that.
Something tells me though that a live-action Cowboy Bebop made here might do more harm than good. Do we seriously need more Man Fayes walking around Comic Con next year? It should probably be kept as more of a fandom secret. *nodnodnod*

I love that pretty much no one could get past the naked Batou.
Couldn't ignore the elephant in the room, perhaps?

Batou left a mental scar on some people...
Yes, I do listen... not just hear, I listen. Some may not. blame it on the lack of attention span.
It's good to hear the two of you in a show again.

Groups are dying? That's depressing....
Nice going with the interviews, Ichigo.
I need to start listening to these again. Adios!

Be true, be you and of course, be otaku.
