      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.

        Samurai Champloo was awesome, missed the other two.

        Since we’re throwing them out there, I’ll add Mushishi to the mix. Although it’s so incredibly chill and relaxed some people might find it boring.
