what will make or break this is going to be if they use the original music from the series and work around it or not

Splash Report recently shared a "spoiler filled" breakdown of the Netflix's new series' pilot episode, and the site's "resident expert on TV pilots" Ludens reports that Jet Black will be Black in the upcoming series. Noting that, "Jet Black in this show is black...But what matters most here is that they have nailed his personality. Jet feels like Jet. He may not look one-to-one like the anime, but he feels like it."

Ludens' take on the pilot episode's script (reportedly titled "Session One") is positive, and notes that the episode's writer Christopher Yost clearly has a reverence for the original anime series. There are many smaller differences, but the impression Ludens gives is that the pilot of the live-action series shares a lot more similarities than differences with the first episode of the original series.
