Popular or unpopular, you know why you've taken a hit? Because you offer no rationale whatsoever for your opinion.

I agree with it totally having elements of Cowboy Bebop. Who couldn't see that right? It is interesting how this is the first comment on this HN post to mention that. Though Cowboy Bebop was huge in anime, I think many who watched and loved Firefly have not seen it. My anecdote - My wife enjoyed Firefly but has never seen Cowboy Bebop.

You're claiming that the show is a ripoff of an anime, and you don't understand why it has nerdy fans? I don't accept your prior, but it does provide a clear answer to the question with which you have trouble.

The show is a poorly executed weeaboo fanficton gone wrong. Sorry you're all mad.

I'm not mad, I'm confused. Even by your own lights you don't seem to be making much sense. Are you sure you've thought your opinion on this all the way through?

the show sucks

"The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."

What if - and believe me this is a hypothetical - but what if you were offered some kind of a stock option equity sharing program. Would that do anything for you?

Unlikely, as the relationship between short term time use, and long term pay off is poorly linked.

I'm not sure if the whoosh is over my head or yours at this point.

Thank you Moot.

Because real, actual murder isn't a serious enough crime for Life in Prison.

It's his fault for getting into the wrong business. If he only laundered drug cartel money like HSBC, he would have just paid a fine.

HSBC were deep into it
