Like someone decided it was a great idea to skip the character introduction? There was no explanation of why Nagumo even worked at the cafe? I thought the first episode wasn't very funny, so I went to read the manga and actually had a great time.

And it's never explained why Izumi herself gave her points card to the police officer, so her scene in the first episode wasn't great either? Why even include a second half where she gets the card back?

It's not, but imagine blatantly removing few chapters of manga explaining shit, why even sabotage adaptation like this?

Like lots of anime is completely fine for anime onlies, while CITY wasn't.

>>280464534
I didn't make me it don't ask me

I dont know, I haven’t read the manga and I lied the anime alot

>>280464561
This
Even run-off-the-mill isekai is fun to watch, despite all the bitching from LNfags

It is KyoAnus, they always remove the more comedic scenes in order to try making their adaptations more "wholesome" and "emotional", they did the same in Nichijou and Dragon Maid, but in the latter they also removed the naked tits

>>280464753
Guess it's time to read Nichijou then as well.

>>280464453 (OP)
true

>>280464453 (OP)
>>280464477
So, which chapters should I read before watching episode 1?

>>280466920
At least 1-3

can you imagine what a loser ops gotta be

his whole stchick is to hang around threads for hours, finding and puffing up any drama he can find

and this is all he could come up with lmfao

>>280464477
that makes a lot more sense, thanks for providing context
yeah, it really is a bit weird how they skipped some parts

>>280467640

Stay mald, broski.

>>280464453 (OP)
not funny

CITY was RUINED because its DIFFERENT

(ops entire discord starts laughing and shitting themselves at the prowess of their machiavellian powers of manipulation)

>>280467961
>>280467640
Okay but are some manga chapters important to read before the anime?

>>280467961
You're trying to hard, broski, city manga is as good as nichijou was.

>>280464453 (OP)
I really am perplexed by how badly CITY is directed thus far. I believe it's because Taichi Ishidate (violet/beyond guy) directed it, and everything he touches is hard carried by budget, whereas Tatsuya Ishihara (haruhi/clannad guy) directed the bulk of Nichijou.

Wow, they were working a job in order to pay rent? Shocking.

>>280469717
I literally couldn't follow the plot at all without this critical information. As the average /a/ user, the concept of having a job to pay bills and be self sufficient is completely foreign to me, and I need it to be explained right at the start of any story involving a person with a job. Otherwise I will assume it's part of a deep mystery that will only be answered at the end of the series.

>>280469717
She tried to steal statue in order to pay rent, destroyed it instead and have to work now. In anime she's literally random no one

>>280469916

Retarded tourists and normalfags think the anime is quirky just for the sake of being quirky when it's missing half the plot. They were unironically acting like this when the episode released and they were acting like the point was to be lol randumb when it was just a bunch of punchlines without jokes.

>>280470386
tbqh, you might just be kinda stupid if you actually cant follow the jokes in city

>>280470514
It's missing the jokes. It's cut out huge amounts of build up and plot. Whether or not a joke is funny or not is based on the delivery. The best parts of the first chapters were all cut and it's weird because those parts aren't even hard to animate.

>>280470573
idk man this shit isnt rocket science

>>280470386
It's just tribal shit for them, kyoani made stuff they liked when they were teens so this has to be good or they can't live with themselves because they watch 1 anime a year.

>>280464453 (OP)
Your Forma did it least season too, though that case was more egregious considering it was a scifi.
I genuinely have no idea why they think it works.
