A lot of love and effort went into this adaptation. It won't please everybody, but for the most part I can see the creators have tried to be faithful to the important parts of the anime.
I admit I had my doubts about John Cho, but he plays a really cool Spike. Mustafa Shakir and Daniella Pineda also deliver good performances as Jet and Faye. The dialogue is campy, but in a good way like the Kill Bill movies.
The episode plots are based on the anime, but also fleshed out a lot more. For example, in episode 1 of both the anime, they don't show exactly how Asimov survives the bar shooting, but in this adaptation he is clearly shown to be shot, but the bullet wounds aren't fatal thanks to RedEye.
Die hard fans will always fine something to complain about Netflix adaptations, but I for one am happy with this series overall.
