Cowboy Bebop Movie comes to the States

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the spike-jet-faye-ed-and-ein dept.

birdman666 writes "According to the movie site the movie of the popular anime Cowboy Bebop has finally been set to release in the states in a handful of cities including LA, NY, SF, Seattle and others on April 4. It features all the same voice actors as the Cartoon Network series and is big news for all those Bebop fans out there. As a note the Japanese title of the film was 'Cowboy Bebop: Knockin On Heaven's Door', but has been changed simply to 'Cowboy Bebop: The Movie' for the states." We had a note about the American premiere last summer, but now it's finally open for general admission.

    I went to the premire in New York last summer, and I was looking forward to having a good time with all the other cool American Anime fans.

    Who invited all the geeks?

    Is that supposed to be some kind of stereotypical American name?
    Hell, we should make a cartoon that makes fun of tradional Japanese heroes! Call it something like Samurai... Samurai Jack!

    Oh wait! Crap!

    Using the Taco->English translation on babelfish, it comes out as:

    "HAHA BASTARDS, CANT TELL ME ITS A REPOST NOW"

    I think they changed it to "Cowboy Bebop: The Movie" to make sure that us American's can be sure that it is, in fact, a movie. Who knows, it could be terrorist propaganda or some mix between country music and old school bebop. How should we know?

      In that case, I wish they would have renamed the movie "Fern Gully" to "Fern Gully: Environmentalist clap trap", but that's just me.
