We see John Cho in action as bounty hunter Spike Spiegel, Daniella Pineda channeling her inner Faye Valentine with lots of wise-cracking at her chums’ expense, and Mustafa Shakir being Spike’s foil as fellow space cowboy Jet Black.
Skeptical fans (hand raised) have since the beefy trailer dropped, praised the production of the mini-episode that both pays homage and captures the spirt of the much-beloved anime franchise and its ’70s -’80s grindhouse roots.
You be the judge.
“See you soon, Cowboy!”
