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.)

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.

Lmao oh I understand. Yes, glad they never made that!

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

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

Honestly Spike was the highlight of the live action series for me

I got Spike and Jet mixed up disregard this comment

Yeah. I have faith it will be better than One Piece we got a few days ago!

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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.
