I see your watching One Piece that is another one of my favorites how you like it so far?

I'm wondering now how I can get the translations (>'~')>
Not going to filter how bad they are.
I'm aware of what he has contributed, and I even own a book about him.
There's actually more about them that's similar than what I said, but I didn't want to ramble.
Granted I compared it to live action movies/series and not anime or manga/graphic novel series. I can see a bit of dredd in there as you pointed out, but as I watched it the main character had a Spike kind of vibe. He was cool, a little bad, but not invincible or perfect. He was flawed in a lot of ways with a ruined past. His rivalry with the villain was similar to the bebop rivalry (but a different set of circumstances). The action was similar in a lot ways, but for the most part the look and feel were in line with the other movies I referenced (hence the listing of multiple movies).
A couple of the other characters reminded me of bebop characters as well (though not as close as the main to Spike). You had the older, wiser, physically stronger, but not as tough character just like Jet (I think it was Kuraudo with the robotic arm). The ex musican chick reminded me (not closely mind you) of Valentine during 1 episode (her back story episode).
Granted they all aren't floating in space starving and taking odd jobs, but again, it had a slight bebop feel (mixed with all the other movies I mentioned).
I hope that's a good enough explanation. We can agree to disagree if you don't see it. Really it comes down to events and dialogue more than anything, but I try to stay as vague as possible. The recommendation was based on them being in the same ball park as far as the genre goes (hence all of the text that was written with the recommendation) :)
I probably worded it wrong (since I'm still bad at writing things at the moment).
