I'd like to be wrong, but my initial reaction is that this looks like it sucks. They recreated Spike's outfit too perfectly and I just think it looks weird if it's not animated.

    I just can't help but see this shit as fundamentally contemptuous of animation as an art form. We already have Cowboy Bebop, so what is this offering me that I don't already have? All I'm getting is, "what if thing, but live action?" As though the fact that it's been recreated in live action is inherently a draw or improvement or something.
