As much as I love anime and Ruroni Kenshin and Full Metal Alchemist, they were bad as movies. I stopped watching them after a few minutes, but Cowboy Bebop live action series was great. Not knowing anything about the anime, but getting the gist of it, I like it. It had humor and the actors spoke English. No subtitles like in the other anime to movies. I had my doubts, but better for me and glad I watched.
