If you're expecting complete faithfulness to the plot, it's not going to be what you want. But, especially when taken as a whole, it's a fun little low-budger show that retains a lot of the themes and feel of the anime.
It's sort of a "enjoy it for what it is, not what you wish it was" kind of show.
Yeah ok I see, I think I'll still give it a pass. If it was just some rip off I probably could enjoy it as a cheap romp, but because it took the brand - and arguably damaged it with its poor quality - I'm going to leave it on the shelf.
Iirc they did make a live action version with Harold from Harold and Kumar as Spike. I refused to watch it personally because I don't have high hopes for it.
That sounds terrible. I bet they'd make a complete joke of everything and hardly follow the source material. I'm glad they never made that show, Netflix would never make something so rubbish.
It's for sure my favorite show, and I am similarly a very lazy person who still somehow meets all of my obligations, so it felt like a good call for my avatar.
How is that glorified in the manga? I don't know the anime, but the manga is about how people grow out of their unhealthy relationships. I didn't have the impression they are shown as a good example, but the opposite.
