Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.
In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There's a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.
I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it's a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it's a lot of fun.
I know nothing about the anime but I LOVED the show. So heartwarming and funny but also very dark sometimes! I would watch 17 seasons
Let's hope they'll keep Little Buggy's Great Adventure. That filler was hilarious.
Buggy got his body back already so I don't think we'll be getting that :(
While I'm a bit disappointed, they didn't take away his limbs for longer, seeing little Buggy in live action was hilarious.
I wonder if they used the East Blue Episode that was released in like 2017 that condenses those 61 Episodes to a single one that is about 1:30h long and has the exact same ending.
