    Cowboy Bebop is such a grift, making everyone think so highly of anime as a whole.

    (Just kidding, kind of, Cowboy Bebop is an awesome anime and I hope one day they make a live action version as that will surely be awesome.)

        Begrudgingly I might give it a go based on you saying that. I tried watching it before but hated it.

          If you’re expecting complete faithfulness to the plot, it’s not going to be what you want. But, especially when taken as a whole, it’s a fun little low-budger show that retains a lot of the themes and feel of the anime.

          It’s sort of a “enjoy it for what it is, not what you wish it was” kind of show.

            Yeah ok I see, I think I’ll still give it a pass. If it was just some rip off I probably could enjoy it as a cheap romp, but because it took the brand - and arguably damaged it with its poor quality - I’m going to leave it on the shelf.

      Iirc they did make a live action version with Harold from Harold and Kumar as Spike. I refused to watch it personally because I don’t have high hopes for it.

        That sounds terrible. I bet they’d make a complete joke of everything and hardly follow the source material. I’m glad they never made that show, Netflix would never make something so rubbish.

        I gave it a try as a huge Bebop fan and couldn’t last 10 minutes before decrying it an abomination and moving on.

          That was my feeling exactly. I’m not sure if I could bear to try it again.

        One Piece? No I don’t think they’ve done that yet either.

        I’m hoping first they’ll do a live action adaptation of Avatar, the Nickelodeon cartoon. They can’t possibly ruin that one.
