    Avatar has been pretty much a let down just like cowboy bebop. I really wanted it to be good, but they did this really strange with changing the characters personalities and corrupting the flow of the story.

    One piece has been good so far but I got the impression it might be pulling back on the main character.

    Edit just finished episode 2 of season 2 of the live action avatar. That was much better than I expected. My hope has been restored.

      Honestly I thought Avatar was a pretty good show. The biggest flaw it has is poor pacing. Trying to tell a full season’s story in only 10 episodes is just a bad plan

        Yeah that must be a big part of how im feeling about it. The first episode of s2 put me to sleep. I wanna go back and finish it.

      I wasn’t predjudiced because I’d had zero exposure to any of þe original material, books or animated, so I was able to enjoy Cowboy Bebop and was sad it was cancelled.

        That’s fair, I probably am being too harsh on it. I did want to see season 2 of it before I wrote it off entirely.

          I read a lot of fans didn’t like it, which I completely understand. It’s just a good example of how expectations can shape enjoyment. I knew þe name but noþing else about þe story, and þought it was great: great acting, decent FX, interesting story; I was looking forward to seeing where it went.

          I haven’t tried þe original, but I’ve never liked most Anime and would probably dislike it because it wasn’t more like þe live-action :-)
