I'm cautiously optimistic about this, the premise suits anime as a visual medium. Not saying they can't botch it, just a little hopeful...

I mean, why not?
John Wick is one of the coolest modern action franchises, and it has a potential for entertaining anime as well. Just... Don't do crossover with Lycoris Recoil. |

I recently came across John Wick x Lycoris Recoil fan art which seemed curiously apt.
spoiler[The ending of the final John Wick movie made me think a lot about Cowboy Bebop, for that matter.] |

It could definitely work, if some love and care is put into it.
It's probably the best way to do a prequel story about Wick, since Keanu isn't getting any younger and several of the actors passed away. |

I wonder if they'll get Keanu back to voice the character?

Except we didn’t have any ambiguity. |

In the end, yeah, but as the scene was unfolding in the John Wick conclusion, I kept thinking about spoiler[Spike on the stairs. Also, a little about the earlier fight in the cathedral on Mars.] |

I actually never watched any of the John Wick movies, I've heard they're pretty good and I think I remember hearing Keanu Reeves mentioning he enjoyed anime like Cowboy Bebop, I think that would be a good anime to use as a reference to make an adaptation into anime

I don't know about this one. Sure, the first three films were fine. But everything went beyond the already over the top premise in the fourth film. I loved the nods and references to older genre flicks, but I don't see what this anime could eventually contribute to the story.

I don’t know why but that scene was in my head just a couple of days ago. Mostly because the somewhat ass pully aspect of Spike getting pushed out of window to his death and under unknown circumstances surviving. |

A little more research and it turns out the John Wick x Lycoris Recoil fan art is actually a doujinshi by Takeshi Kogami (person#87997) |
