That's the main reason I watch anime. Because alot of the scenes in most shows can't be done or would just cost waaaaaay too much to be done even with the advancements that have been made with CG and special effects recently. Think about it.

Like with Bebop for example. imagine how much it would cost to create all those worlds and then have all those spaceships flying around everywhere or the spacegates, or the scenes where Ed is surfing the net. Just the Mad Pierrot episode would take a long time and an incredible amount of money to create live action. And in the end, I still don't think it'd look nearly as good as the anime.
