Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix
Boosting payments.
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
MMO-Champion
...and I'm fucking pissed. Really fucking pissed.
Cowboy Bebop is one of, if not THE BEST anime of all time - Great characters, soundtrack, setting, and story. Aside from 1 or 2 weaker episodes, the entire show is freaking fantastic, with memorable moments and incredible direction. Also, it's a story with a very conclusive end.
And they're going to commit necromancy. In the form of a live action series.
They're bringing the original anime director to support the show, which is nice, but I still can't believe that we'll be getting another live action from NETFLIX - Full Metal Alchemist was bad, Death Note was fucking horrendous, and now...Bebop will suffer the same destiny.
What is even the point of a live action remake/retelling? FFS.
See you space cowboy...

Has there been a live action anime that worked out well? I hope for you bebop fans it does.
On a side note, Is it worth watching Cowboy bebop if your not really a anime fan?

Absolutely! It's one of the only animes that I recommend to people that aren't into anime. Great dub as well, if you're into that. Give it a chance!

It's a bit dated but it's not your typical over the top anime and so doesn't struggle from the usual cliché elements. Originally Posted by Rendark

I always have a saying 'just because you can do something doesn't mean you should'
I am not an anime fan, but I really liked Cowboy Bebop. I think it was like the first anime I ever watched too. Think I watched some anime when I was younger but Cowboy Bebop was the first anime I was invested in :P Originally Posted by Rendark

Rurouni Kenshin was good, very loyal to the anime. Originally Posted by Rendark

Cowboy Bebop is one of the ones I think could translate...if done right.
If they can get someone who can pin down the style of the show, the music, the aesthetics, the right, budget it could really work. You have yourself a really good space opera.
All of that is done a lot easier through animation though.

If you liked Firefly you can watch it.

They’re adapting Pokémon. Nothing could be worse

I don't think you're stereotypical anime fan of 2018 would like Cowboy Bebop...which is a yes to your question. Originally Posted by Rendark

I will only accept this if they make sure M Night Somelongname directs it.
Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

The Rurouni Kenshin live action films were solid, but @Lotus Victoria is correct; it's highly unlikely that this live action adaptation will be anywhere near as good. One of the core reasons why anime works is because it's told in the anime medium, where the medium allows for exaggerated camera blocking, exaggerated character acting, and fast paced cutting (half second to a quarter of a second long shots (NOT frames) in sequence at times). You'd be hard pressed to replicate it in live action. Ofcourse, that's why it's called an adaptation - trying to take the core of an idea in one medium and adapt it to another - but we already had that story in live action. It's called Firefly. Why not reboot that series? Originally Posted by Rendark

I concur, but it's still solid. Originally Posted by RobertoCarlos

It is impossible to ruin the original. If you don't want to watch this one, don't watch it. If you want to pretend it exists, you can definitely do so. That said, there are definitely going to be people out there who will enjoy it. This is for those people, not you. Originally Posted by Lotus Victoria

I fell into the "it's one of the best animes ever" trap a few years ago and got fucking gutted. It's not that great, seriously. It's even painful to watch at times.
That said, no anime adaptation to live-action ever worked, so i don't understand the move. It will only piss fans off.

I didn't have to watch the ghost in the shell and deathnote live adaptations either, and I didn't.
If they fuck up the witcher I will also probably not care too much, I already have the books the games and the story of geralt is finished for me.
I will just put the resulting show either on the collection heap or the trash one.Last edited by Cosmic Janitor; 2018-11-29 at 07:45 AM.

While I understand that opinions are opinions, what things made you suffer while watching Bebop? Originally Posted by hulkgor

No offense, though. Just curiosity.
