The creator of CowboyBebop shares that he did NOT have a great time working on the Animatrix:
Cowboy Bebop isn't the only anime to be created by director Shinichiro Watanabe, with the likes of Space Dandy and Samurai Champloo also gaining the status of"anime classics" from the creator. In a recent interview, Watanabe didn't pull any punches when it came to sharing his thoughts on Netflix's live-action series, unable to make his way past the initial scene.
"Now I am working on a new and original title. Most of the offers I receive these days tend to be from America and the budgets tend to be almost double compared to what I get in Japan. Back on The Animatrix, I first got to work with people in Hollywood. Working with those kinds of people is always difficult. This is because at the beginning they promised me that I could do whatever I want, but that's just lip service.
"Actually, I had a big altercation with a Hollywood producer on The Animatrix. He would always come with these stupid requests, just so he could identify his own contribution. As the requests were stupid and made no sense, I rejected all of them. Unfortunately, I couldn't win in this situation, so I had to concede on some of these things. I learned from this bitter experience though. For subsequent projects, I became smarter at handling people who wanted to interfere.
