It's bizarre and it's not "reasonably good", it's horrid. I'm not even a huge Avatar fan and I was appalled. It's just a crude cosplay re-enactment like the awful Disney remakes (except Jungle Book, by some bizarre alchemy that's arguably better than the original!). It's insane that it's getting three seasons.I have heard good things about One Piece at least. I don't think doing that to Cowboy Bebop was worth it, but I'm prepared to believe it's okay. Ironically Netflix only renewed it for one season, so are probably getting ready to axe it (they renewed Avatar for two).</blockquote>
