An actor directing another actor is a beautiful thing. The one thing I loved about watching Ed - because with anime, you watch and then put your voice in and dub to it - she was animated so beautifully on all of her. Hopefully, twenty years later, we nailed it and it's standing the test of time. Our voice director Mary McGlynn and Kevin Seymour, knew all of our work individually and thought we would bring something to this that no one else could bring. We were talking earlier about how this doesn't really happen. I think that started the snowball rolling and showed it was different from some of the other content that was out there. As they revisited it and had their own revelations about the show, they were very eager to share with their friends. I'm grateful that it didn't warp them to the point of needing therapy but it caused them to think and put questions in their mind they weren't able to resolve until they could fully understand them. They had things that were supposed to cross-over and keep people entertained that were sitting there with their children.īut this was not made for children and so many people saw it way too young.

As I revisit that as an adult, it affected me so deeply and on such a visceral level." Back, they didn't have adult cartoons on TV that were obviously adult cartoons. There is a style of animation that clearly comes from that time and technology has changed but it's a warm affectionate feeling that comes over you and then all of the edge of outside-of-the-boxness of the show that really prevails.īlum: One of the things I've noticed in recent years is that fans will come up to us at our tables at conventions saying, "I saw Cowboy Bebop when I was way too young and didn't understand it. I think the spirit of that is maintained, in that it always kind of feels fresh, it doesn't feel dated. We were breaking molds and it was super refreshing. You didn't have to be a cookie-cutter character that fit in a box. The only thing I would say is that we have caught up to the future example that Cowboy Bebop had laid out so many years ago and was so much more progressive about and integrated at the time about sexuality. Something we were pointing out earlier between us is that our fans from ages ago versus ten years ago versus now all seem to be very consistent in the appeal that has reached them all equally. Wendee Lee: Our fanbase seems to be really consistent.
What is something you've noticed with newer fans that's different from the original fanbase? You guys not only have the benefit of hindsight but also getting to see a new generation of fans discover the show.
