Okay... so I finally watched it.
COWBOY BEBOP
On to the next fix!
Grats on finally watching (what is imho) the best anime one shot series ever made (preparing for flames).
I'd say you're comparisons to firefly are accurate but Bebop was animated over 2 years before Firefly aired so I'd say we have a clear case of who copied who if anyone was inclined to make that argument (I am not).
That said, I've never felt as strongly about any series as I did CB, maybe it was when I watched it and that period of my life, maybe it was something else but I will always have a soft spot for CB. 👍 👍
And to think of GITS this many years later...
Totally with you on that one, I haven't watched it since I gave away my VHS I bought back in highschool (mid 90's when I first saw it in the US). Ended up giving the VHS to a philosophy professor when I was in college in the early '00s.
On a side note...
I watched the first episode of "Dimension W" today.
Seemed pretty cool but as with most modern anime I felt old (old, as in my age) due to the odd moments where the pervy fanservice ruined what should have been a benign moment.
That said, with some of you it probably will not be a problem since so many here seem to love that stuff (not hating, just not into it personally, and trust me, 20 years ago when I was a wee highschool student I didn't mind it at all
).
Check it out if you get the chance.
Edit:
Oh, and OPM, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. 👍
