hmmm idk, i disliked the live action because of the acting and writing on cowboy bebop. i also don't think three was any reason to make that live action. it felt like a soulles cash grab.

compare that to say the one piece live action, or the last of us series, or even twisted metal. those were all shows that adapted things well while also changing a lot. it's fine to adapt things to a be medium and tell your own story, just don't expect a free pass if that story you tell is worse than the material you were given. like the Witcher, for example. that shouldn't have even been that hard. it wasn't actually a video game adaptation. it was supposed to adapt the books. but then they just went and did their own story with the characters that just wasn't very good... certainly not nearly as good as the source material.

i think that's what frustrates me sometimes. when an adaptation just doesn't hold up to the source. the cowboy bebop lie action wasn't that bad, but the anime was fucking incredible. in a few years everyone will forget they even did a live action of it. it just wasn't really worth remembering.

I really liked the live action show. Like with One Piece it actually piqued my interest in the anime.
