Shinichiro Watanabe: I guess you could say I don’t think they’d get along very well. Do you think that Faye and Jet would continue on as partners or go their separate ways? Of course with Faye, a big part of her character arc is finding a place she belongs and feeling like the Bebop crew is her family. “However, they were actually created around the same time and after I got to watch Guardians of the Galaxy after Dandy was finished and completed, I realised, ‘oh yeah, they actually have a similar feeling, they’re actually quite similar.’” “I had a lot of people tell me Space Dandy was like Guardians of the Galaxy,” he adds. In an attempt to merge those two ideas together, Watanabe instructed the show’s composers to use musical instruments that predated the 1980s, grounding the musical tone in a camp 80s feel.

“With Space Dandy, you’ve obviously got your image of the space and 80s music, and blending them together is how I created it.”

“With Samurai Champloo, we were thinking of listening to hip hop music, watching a lot of Japanese style traditional dramas - old style dramas - that was the sort of image I had when putting those ideas together,” he continues. “When creating Cowboy Bebop,” Watanabe tells me, “I thought it would be more interesting if I added different types of elements together to create something that was completely new.”
