‘COWBOY BEBOP’:
A live-action version of the coolest anime series of all time? Real actors in place of Shinichiro Watanabe’s animated, psychedelic-noir outer-space bounty hunters and scam artists? A real dog playing Ein the robot Corgi? The world holds its breath. (One reason for optimism: The protean anime composer Yoko Kanno, who was in charge of the eclectic music that was essential to the original’s mood, returns for the remake.) (Netflix, Nov 19)
