Now try and find that but not somehow linked to high school.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 67 points 1 year ago

as always, we must look to Cowboy Bebop

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

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.)

Hot take, the Cowboy Bebop live action show is not that bad

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Oh we're gonna fight today? Is that what we're doing?

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

I got Spike and Jet mixed up disregard this comment

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

And Samurai Champloo and even Carole and Tuesday. Basically all of Shinichiro Watanabe’s work

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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.

Coybow Beebop is super overly sexualised though 😕
