No, it's an Outlaw Star ripoff.
>>63601164
No, that's Farscape.

Get your memes right guys

that has to be the most overrated anime in existence
>>
>>63601183
no, it only stole one scene from outlaw star, it stole far more from bebop.

What did it steal from OS?

Apart from having a slut, a negro and a whore onboard
>>
>>63601290
I'm 5 episodes in and no character has said that. It's not a catch-phrase.
>>
No. It's was a blatant rip-off of the canadian series Starhunter.

The tropes are all Bebop not Outlaw Star.

minus the SF that sounds like CS Forester

Mal is mouthy as fuck and talks about his past all the goddamned time, like literally in every fucking episode. NOT DERIVATIVE.
>>
They are really no more similar than you would expect two shows with "western... in space!" premise to be.
>>
>>63601323
From the movie iirc
>>
>>63601542
I guess, it's more like his motivations are what he's hiding which to me suggests he's still hiding other stuff we don't know and will never find out.
>>
Daily reminder that something is a ripoff if you didn't like it, and a homage if you did. And if you really believe that's how it works, you just might be retarded.

Goddamn beebop and firefly were so fucking comfy shows. Are there any similar animes, shows, films?

Dark Matter, which is a Canadian rip off of Firefly.

Whatever happened to Alan Tudyk?

I know he was in ODST with Nathan Fillion and the guy who played Jayne but has he actually done anything big?

guys, be honest with me. I loved firefly and an anime has never got my attention. will I enjoy cowboy bebop, are they really that similar?

And I'm not talking about similarities in terms of space and smuggling and all that. I'm talking about the tone of the show and how comfy it was

Why am I so proud of your post?
>>
>>63603227

Outlaw Star is better
>>
I liked Firefly, didn't like Naruto, like Studio Gimli, liked Avatar, haven't watched any other Anime stuff and tend to like Western Cartoons.

Is Cowboy Bebop any good?
>>
>>63601323
It's said once in the show, and then comes to prominence in the movie.
Finish watching before you post, you lazy shit.
>>
>>63603517
It's shit watch Kill la kill, One punch man, K-on and Gurren lagann instead
>>
>>63603148
He's just made an internet show called Con Man, based on his experiences of going to conventions and being an actor from a popular but cancelled scifi show. Nathan Fillion and other Firefly cast feature in it.
Felicia Day is in too, though
>>
>>63603517
Its fucking mazing cozy anime
its soundtrack and visual gives its a sorta special feeling

He was a villain in Dollhouse, the best Whedon thing ever made.

As if Gurren Lagann is much better than Kill La Kill. They were also both directed by the same hack.

Dandy S1 was shittier than the aforementioned. Don't kid yourself.

>>63601739
Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis. They got pretty cheesy and made it a tropefest, though.
>>
>>63601143
It definitely rips off anime. Joss probably knows Japanese and steals ideas from Japan all the time.

It had muppets too, but otherwise yeah. Trail off all you want, Farscape is Blake's 7 with muppets and you're going to have to deal with this solid fact.

I don't watch any cartoons because I'm a mature adult, so I have no idea what you're even talking about and don't understand your references to cartoons which are a medium for children and not the topic of this board.

No, you just can't read things for comprehension.

I reviewed the thread. I wasn't wrong. Time for you to deal with your dyslexia.
>>
>>63605528
You were really unclear, other people shouldn't have to deal with your terrible command of the english language.
>>
>>63601223
Well, I agree only because every fucking person says it's good. So by definition it is overrated, since it's not THAT good.

But it IS good.
>>
>>63605570
I responded to a response to OP. The response said nothing more than Blake's 7. OP construction was "Was Firefly just a Cowboy Bebop ripoff?" Blake's 7 clearly fills in for the object. I responded with Farscape.

There's no ambiguity, you just can't read for comprehension. Fuck you. I'll fight you.

Honestly laughing out loud. When you spurt out random fragments and expect people to fill in the blanks, naturally sometimes they are not going to get what you were trying to say. I'm guessing English isn't your first language so you get a pass, but still, you shouldn't be so defensive.
