There’s no Bebop without legendary composer Yoko Kanno, and she returns for the Netflix live-action to serve up a new score. The
music of Cowboy Bebop lives large
over 20 years later, not just for its jazz-driven space-noir uniqueness but
also for how it helps to further convey the emotions of characters in a particular scene. In an interview with Otakon in 2013, Watanabe said this about Kanno’s influence: “[I] took inspiration from [Kanno’s music] and created new scenes for Cowboy Bebop. Then she would be inspired by [my] new scenes and they would give her new ideas for music. ”Eagle-eyed fans of the series will also note the symbolic fusion of music and narrative in the Cowboy Bebop episode titles, also known as “sessions,” to emulate a jazz feel. Each session of the anime ( e. g. , “Session 14: Bohemian Rhapsody” or “Session 7: Heavy Metal Queen” ) is titled after some
musical pop-culture reference, and the Netflix live-action also shares that same sentiment (ie: “Session 2: Venus Pop” or “Session 1: Cowboy Gospel”). And you’ve got to admit, talking about your favorite session instead of using the plain old episode verbiage is a pretty cool piece of Bebop lingo amongst the fanbase. If you’re hungry for more musical lore, you can find out more about the history, legacy, and composition behind the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack with The Ringer’s The ‘Sound Only’ Guide to ‘Cowboy Bebop’ on Spotify. And don’t miss this awesome (and rare!) behind-the-scenes look at the genius composer at work as she explains her process for coming up with the eclectic sounds that make up the retro-futuristic galaxy.
Ippo and Milo watching Ricardo and McCallum fight. Ippo watched as the main event began with Ricardo's 22nd WBA
featherweight title defence match against former WBC featherweight champion, Billy McCallum. Before the match began. Ippo explained to Milo about McCallum's background, and how one can tell who will win a match the moment they throw their first swing, with a boxer's
shadowboxing being able to give a hint. After being shocked at seeing McCallum's sharp punches in his shadowboxing and how McCallum is not showing any fear towards Ricardo, Ippo became worried that Ricardo could be in trouble. Ippo was breath taken from seeing Ricardo's perfectly natural stance and even more breath taken that McCallum is fearless next to Ricardo with his guard down in a Detroit Style stance, explaining the style to Milo.

[6] Nosaka
argued that "it was impossible to create the barren, scorched earth that's to be the backdrop of the story". [6] He also argued that contemporary children would not be able to convincingly play the characters. Nosaka expressed surprise when an animated version was offered. [6] After seeing the storyboards, Nosaka concluded that it was not possible for
such a story to have been made in any method other than animation and expressed surprise in how accurately the rice paddies and townscape were depicted. [6] Isao Takahata said that he was compelled to film the short story after seeing how the main character, Seita, "was a unique wartime ninth grader". [7] Takahata explained that any wartime story, whether animated or not animated, "tends to be moving and tear-jerking", and that young people develop an "inferiority complex" where they perceive people in wartime eras as being more noble and more able than they are, and therefore the audience believes that the story has nothing to do with them. Takahata argued that he wanted to dispel this mindset.
