As it is, a little cartoon action I can stand, but as I've grown up, my taste in "realism" in animated features has changed. The main reason I like Warner Brothers cartoons still? Nostalgia, more than anything, realizing that the actions were indeed axaggerated or simplified, and loving those humorous storylines in spite of the imagery.I liked Bebop because the storylines were mature and coherent, and the characters rarely made gross exaggerated actions. Certain things simply make me break my Suspension of Disbelief - dubbed live-action foreign films are one, and exaggerated actions in anime are another.(And yes, considering what version of Cowboy Bebop I watched, that's ironic, but I can much better visualize different things coming out of Spike Speigel's mouth, than I can Jackie Chan sounding like a midwestern farmboy.)</blockquote>
