They're attempting to make Fae (Fay?) into a female version of Spike, which is REALLY going to do her character an injustice. She wasn't a gunslinging fighter for a reason. She helped create some balance for the crew. Making her a strong-empowered fighter is going to suck. I hope they don't do that but the comments by the actress and crew seem to indicate they completely misunderstood Fay's character and motivations. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L.

Hoping it works out & they keep to the spirit of the original. Was doing the math earlier & looks like they can just about fit the whole original series run into the Netflix live-action. Original run was 26 episodes, average of about 24 minutes per. 625 minutes or so. Netflix will be 10 1-hour episodes, so 600 minutes. As long as they don't introduce new stuff to it, it's doable, with minimal cutting out from the original run. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Okay I just saw the full trailer and it has promise. I'm not sure they'll be able to keep the tone of the Anime, but it looks like they're trying. Some episodes I hope translate well to the series, and should be required viewing before you watch the live-action version: - Gateway Shuffle - Sympathy for the Devil - Toys in the Attic - Pierrot le Fou Shit. They're all damn good. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

I'm going to have to rewatch the Anime prior to the live-action, IIRC the Anime is available on Hulu. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

It’s also now on Netflix. And on DVD on my shelf. Looking forward to this. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

From the trailer, all the scenes not involving Fae feel a lot like the anime. Whenever Fae is on, I don't know what I'm watching.

I think Cho pulls off the Spike look well, Mustafa is a bit thin for Jet IMO. My coworker, whose never seen the anime, thought Cho's fight scenes in the trailer didn't look natural, like an actual experienced fighter. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
