HA, I just finished watching Objects in Space... and when River said "I have become serenity" I had a HUGE coughing fit for some reason.... Luckly, by the end of the show I recovered completly. Thank God.

Dude! I totally have seen the resemblence since before the show started! I agree completely with you! I saw the previews for the new series and I was like, "this looks a little like Outlaw Star" and then the commercial said something about a girl in a box and I was like, "Oh my God! Outlaw Star all over again!!" Seriously though, it's kinda sad when most Americans think that a cartoon show is for kids, but then they turn it into a real people show and they like it. You know? Anime deserves more credit then it gets!

Hmmm. I think some people need to actually watch the show before yelling rip-off. So far they haven't convinced me with any argument beyond the superficial "girl in box". Maybe a detailed comparison of the plotlines would state your case better.

"Oh, oh, that show has flying cars, now nobody cant use them anymore..."
Thats pretty much how the first post sounds like.

I've seen Outlaw Star (actually have it on DVD) and dont see whats all the fuzz about. Outlaw Star was NOT the first serie that had "deep frozing", so even there it was copyed from somewhere else. How many anime shows you know that have mechas? Are they all ripoffs?

EDIT: Bah, didnt realise the first posts were so old and there isnt a "delete post" button.

In Cowboy Bebop an assassin in a red spacesuit with white piping sneaks onto the Bebop, sneaking about the ship. Later Spike battles the baddy in zero g on the hull of the ship. He does a fancy move to knock the guy off the hull of the ship. The baddy floats away, pissed.

Sound like something you saw on Firefly?

There's nothing wrong with paying homage to cool anime shows, but it would be nice for them to acknowledge lifting their ideas for costumes, dialogue and entire sets from anime.

Buffy and Angel owe huge debts to "Fright Night" and the Gary Oldman Dracula movie.

I'm not surprised the Whedon claims he has run out of ideas. They weren't exactly his ideas to begin with!

soooo MissyG, you joined this site just to revive this tired old thread...
why do you think anyone cares?
frankly I think Joss stole more from Stagecoach than from Japanese cartoons...
but everyone steals (or pays homage to) other material.

To be honest, thats a really long shot, i mean, the color of the clothing? It sounds like your trying real hard to blame Firefly for something, that just isnt there.
Also doesnt Cowboy Bebop rip off Western movies?
