None.
As long as something is an adaptation, it's creates one step of misalignment from the source material.
But as an adaptation, the goal is to create something without that misalignment, and that simply can't be achieved.
By a similar token, dubs are an extra step away from the original, and thus inherently inferior as well.

The 2003 adaptation of Atom is my favorite iteration of it but the manga is still great

Even with the shit sound direction and poorer art it's somehow a better overall package

What a coincidence, I am currently watching Ninku. Was surprised to learn that just about every aspect I liked about it was apparently anime original. Makes me wonder if the manga gets better later on but right now there are 0 TLs

>>280769888
It doesn't really count since it's more like an non-canon AU reboot than an adaptation and the original audio dramas are accompinied with live action images so not really anime either

The Manga ending of Kodocha still makes it superior to the Anime, the America arc was shit. Haven't read Undead Murder Girl Farce, Ninku nor Urusei Yastura but I agree with everything else

>>280770035
Holy Shit this, even with the animation melting itself and the NTR it just elevates the story on such a fucking new level it is insane

>>280770009
Also this, the new anime movie that's going to adapt the worst part of the manga seems like it will rush the entire arc to only adapt the parts that are actually good. Aka really needs to be tardwrangled into doing comedy rather than being given the freedom to do drama.

Giant Robo OVAs from 1992 and the Mazinkaser OVAs from 2001 are mind-bendingly good. Haven't watched the Mazinger Z anime from 2009 but I heard that was fantastic too.

Nobody would've shat on it if there was no anime adaptation, because nobody would ever give a fuck to read it.

>>280772872
The problem that the anime had was also present in the light novel, the anime is better in every way because it made the setting more interesting by having it take place in a mix of mayan/aztec civilization and by being one of the most faithful light novel adaptations out there barely skipping anything by only adapting 1 volume in its first season.
It just made normalfags complain about volume 1's cliffhanger then the author pussied out and put his writing career in a so far seemingly permanent hiatus.

>>280772872
>where people shat on the anime so much the author just ragequit and dropped writing the LN

>>280769507 (OP)
There are many anime adaptions that are superior than the source material, but very few are the definitive version of the series that can replace the original. Sometimes they make anime original choices, making the source material irreplaceable if you want to fully understand the series. Sometimes too much difference in artstyle. Sometimes the anime tones down the fanservice. And so on. All of those have prevented many anime adaptions from replacing the original material.

Anything about music or singing is better in the anime version for obvious reasons

This is so much better than the light novel it's unreal

many light novels truly don't deserve the anime adaptations that they get.

>>280774746
I know, none of the Boogiepop adaptations have done the light novel justice
And for some weird reason the CMs have a better artstyle than them

Does this count as an adaptation or spin-off?

If a 4koma is actually funny most anime completely butcher it.

I think there are a lot of manga that only work because of the art. They then get adaptations which to me make zero sense because they're given typical low production values of your average seasonal and absent the art you're just left with cliff notes level writing to try to carry the thing.

Anyhow Frieren is better than the manga because the manga's art is dogshit and a lot of effort went into the anime's visuals.

>>280774835
>>280774746
agreed, it really can go both ways.

>>280776150
the music half carries frieren's first season, madhouse's animation and backgrounds and scenery carries the other 40%, and 10% is the fairly decent voice acting.

bit early to say since it's currently airing but I'd argue for Ruri no Houseki
not anime but Aoi Honoo live action.

A few of them are simply just animation glow-up like Shounan Bakusouzoku and Yozakura Quartet OVAs with just lots of love and care put into the adaptation that makes the characters feel so much more alive. Some things I just think work better in anime format, like Initial D and Idolm@ster, with the music doing heavy lifting. Mushishi really benefits from the atmosphere the anime can provide with visuals and music. In general I feel like the Japanese are put a lot of effort into the music, I had this revelation when I was watching a random 90s porn OVA only to realize that they had composed multiple orchestral tracks for the score, that's just crazy. I think Cyberpunk also shows how clever they are with using music, since they used existing music from the game but used it really cleverly so it had an entirely different impact.
Then for the Shaft adaptations I think the quirkiness adds a lot of charm compared to the manga, though I can understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. For GITS it's not strictly superior, but rather a very different experience than the manga, which I personally enjoyed more, same with KareKano.

>>280776852
>not anime but Aoi Honoo live action
I'd say it's on par with the manga rather than superior but both are amazing.

>>280769507 (OP)
As someone who has only seen the anime, if Junketsu no Maria and Rokka no Yuusha are better than the source material then it sounds more like an insult to the source material than praising the adaptation.
>>280769613
Sourcefags are so annoying, you can never please them. If it's an accurate adaptation it's simply an inferior version and if it takes creative liberties it's non-canon trash.
Same like people who used to cry about filler in older shounen adaptations. You can absolutely have good filler and bad canon arcs.
In my opinion it's better to be more liberal with the adaptation since the manga will always be the best version of itself so there's no point in trying to copy it. Panel by panel adaptations are so fucking boring I might as well just read the manga. Also some things just don't translate well between different media, like pacing and panel composition. Anime should focus on the strengths of anime itself, that's why I enjoy original anime or ones that use source material very loosely like >>280775127 or Cyberpunk. Using the world as a setting to tell a story rather than be a poor imitation.
>>280770238
Also agree with this, it had some really great visual direction and storytelling.

>>280776997
cuz its a millenial anime for millenials who dont really care about anime, but love cars. It was a great anime, but a product of its time, right time and place. Initial D fans are all raising teenagers now, not shitposting on /a/.

Being contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian doesn't make you smart

>>280769613
This is retarded. The point of an adaption isn't to replicate the original exactly, it's to convey and/or enhance the experience of the original. The atmosphere, themes, story, etc. Adaptions can absolutely surpass the original source in doing this, especially because they're almost always made in a more immersive medium like an anime or a movie. The "misalignment" is the whole point and it's what makes adaptions worthwhile.
>dubs [are] inherently inferior
This is true, but it's because translations alter the meaning itself rather the medium through which that meaning is conveyed. You can only lose, never gain.

That's just modern consumerslop mentality fucking retard. It wasn't like that before the light novel adaptation craze.
> You first needed backing of a successful series in other format to be adapted into Anime.
> They wanted to usually faithfully recreate the source material before the end of the classic mentality.
> Now its just light novel/manga promos that rarely do the classic mentality justice.
You can tell a difference between an Ad and something with classic mentality: Konosuba, Youjou senki and Re;Zero Kara if you compare those three to slopjobs like "cheat magician" "no game no life" and "Problem Kids From Another World" or something along those lines. You can tell the rush to get something out vs something with dedicated time put to it.

>>280778076
That's why the manga is superior.

>>280778099
I didn't mean it in a derogatory sense, but they're literally thought off as ads to their source material first and foremost. That doesn't mean it can't have soul, most anime staffers usually try their hardest to do justice to the source material due to being fans of it, regardless if they change the routes of the story.
If you want a more extreme example most tokusatsu are made as a low-budget toy commercial for toddlers, yet they are full of soul thanks to the staff that works on it.

not exactly what OP means but the mogging is to such a degree I must post it anyway

You can just compare old Gundam to modern Gundam too if you want even if both were used to sell figs to kids or collectors. The old Gundams at least had better art, deeper storylines and better action sequences.

The manga art style is borderline uncanny, the anime softens it.

>>280778399
In a similar vein, Nintama Rantarou.
In the manga, the art style is much more rough and plot is more straight foward. The anime has a much more soft art style and adds more bits to the plot and characters.

>>280778420
Haven't seen it but that situation sounds kind of similar to Ninku.
The Manga's art is vile looking, the anime being done by most of Yu Yu Hakusho's staff is a massive upgrade from the art style, the animation is also really fluid. On top of all that the manga is really episodic and takes a long while to add the rest of the cast, while the anime has the cast reunite almost immediately and rewrites several cases of the week to be more ingrained on to the plot, which makes them so much better since it changes some of the villains from generic assholes to soldiers with a bit more depth.

>>280777559
The OP is fairly blatantly a thinly disguised recc thread OP, and most of this is hardly what I'd class as "discussion", mostly just regurgitation and image macros with zero commentary.

This is only arguably better rather than strictly better since the manga has gorgeous art and the anime has dogshit sound direction in the second half, but this has to best budget management I've seen and I find that commendable, I guess the author being involved with the adaptation helps too.

>>280779834
Except most of the thread does have genuine anime discussion, and we have schizos making a bunch of bait threads to make Ruri no Houseki, CITY and Panty & Stocking indiscussible or the Jump general that consist of a bunch of discordfags that don't even read manga talking about sales and avatarfaging with crackships, so really there's nothing wrong with having a thread a like this compared to those.

>>280779931
>so really there's nothing wrong with having a thread a like this compared to those.
The issue isn't that there's worse threads, it's that all of these threads are bad and should be deleted.

>>280779956
>having actual anime discussion on the Anime board is somehow as bad as schizos actively preventing discussion for certain shows
I think you might genuinely be autistic, if you don't like a thread topic and notice that the thread has minimal schizo activity, just take over the thread to actually talk about anime. It's what I do whenever I find an OP/ED thread that starts with baity non-answers.

>>280780025
Anime discussion in the same sense that a recc thread is technically discussion, which is that it's mostly just people making disconnected posts about a random thing they like (or, in fact, saying nothing at all).
Point is, this shit along with all the generals and dailies would (and should) be deleted were this 2018 and not 2025.

>>280770645
>Nicholas D. Wolfwood
That character had a fantastic dub VA performance in that episode specifically.

I know /a/ doesn't like 3D animation but I just really have trouble telling the characters apart in the manga because they all have the same body type
The music being done by Yoshiaki Fujisawa also helps: https://youtu.be/MvN-dHLYSkE
I don't think this will ever get a second season unless we get a studio change since the lunarian designs from later in the manga just don't work in 3D

>>280780078
As someone who used to report rec threads I get what you mean, but after the shift of jannies + Maccaco ruining things I find threads like these to be necessary since otherwise there are certain anime/manga that don't get enough replies when making a standalone thread thanks to the incessant shitposting from the other threads that aren't getting deleted. Like hell I once got banned for reporting the schizos and off-topic discussion in the jump general.
It isn't an optimal situation but it's the best we got right now, it's not like there are better forums with enough activity to be better than 4chan sadly.

Thread like this one or thE ones that focuses on a single director/writer are fine by me since the topic is broad enough to not necessarily be focused on recommendations. Like how in this thread some posts discuss about the differences between versions.

The kind of miracle that happens only once a decade.

I'm going to get shit for this since 90% of the time this and its second adaptation gets brought up it's usually associated with that schizo or summons him into a thread
But I unironically prefer the 2003 version over the manga since imo it had a superior atmosphere, antagonist, final arc and with the movie that released later a better ending
I swear Sho Aikawa is the master of taking over someone else's project even if he allegedly hates having to diverge from authors' original plans, he did the same thing with Kamen Rider Blade which ended massively improving the story

>>280772359
I do agree with that, though the movie only ""properly"" adapted the first chapter out of seven and fleshed out forgotten background characters in the manga. iirc they're so different from each other in their storytelling and themes (aside from being a bit depressing) that it's hard to compare the two beyond saying which version you enjoy more.

The fact that we will never have a S2 ruined the whole fucking thing but S1 is just the manga but better. It's a 1:1 adaptation with a beautiful soundtrack and talented VA.

>>280769507 (OP)
Frieren anime. The manga is terrible but the anime was incredible. Almost fooled me into thinking it's good.

Also, an adaptation of a western novel, but the Darren Shan manga is my preferred version of the story.

>>280769604
It's just button mashing to unlock a cutscene. Not more preferable than turning the page to see a spread.

So people are just spamming randomly shows they like in the thread?

>>280781350
>he has only directed some shorts or worked as an episode writer
;_;

>>280785340
Because people are already aware of what's going to happen due to the manga and having to personally turn a page usually makes page turners that much impactful if the paneling is done right

>>280790849
I think he probably meant even for animeonlies. I know the way they handled the 5 page spread in the Sengoku Youko adaptation made it stand out less, but several episodes had overall interesting animation and direction to kind of make up for it. If an anime is directed well, ideally iconic scenes from it would be in terms of animation and not still frames like it would be for a manga. It's a bad habit to try and keep iconic pages or panels at the loss of animation, so you just end up with a worse looking still frame. This was an issue in the Jojo anime for instance.

The adaptation of Bro has

>>280780272
>>280780078
admittedly the moderation has only made worse not only this board but most geek/nerd boards during the last 10 years

Rurouni Kenshin. I can't say that the manga is really remarkable except for the main character which carries it with all his might. The battles in anime are more impactful due to the score and, ehm... not being over after a few pages. Kinda reminds me of Kanon 2002 where all the emotional moments last very short because they crammed the whole thing into one cour, so you can't feel it the same way as during watching the remake. Anime just manages to achieve much more despite being a slideshow. It's not like the manga can boast crazy good art either. Also LOL at these silly blood sprites whenever someone is cut.

The cast, especially the main couple have a lot better chemistry in the anime. Funny how during the remake threads people were parroting that original anime ruined Kaoru because they made her some angry frenetic girl with her personality reduced to a gag prop. Because that's literally how it goes in the manga, about every her interaction with Kenshin is funny.png face, so when the time comes for him to leave for Kyoto, it's hard to comprehend why does she want him to stay so much. In the anime, even in the first episode, when they're not even close, their relationship dynamic is much more nuanced and intricate.

Retcons are obviously done to improve the weak plot points or make the anime more immersive like adding the little girls. Remake followed the manga zealously and it sucked spending a few minutes on historical infodumps.

The manga isn't far enough to make a S2 for now but i don't think we will have one because the S1 was already a "The stars were aligned" scenario where a lot of S-tier staff and freelance were available and willing to work on the anime, which is an anomaly in the japanese anime industry

>>280797736
TIL it's based off a book

>>280804746
Production IG is a Studio with a lot of budget and staff so there's a genuine chance that a season 2 would look good even if it doesn't look as godlike.
The question is if we can get a season 2 since the Blu-ray sales flopped thanks to the Anime being a Disney+ exclusive. I don't know what Ishura did to get a season 2 greenlit since it flopped for the same reasons.

>>280769507 (OP)
Kodocha’s on here because the anime got rid of her being an inbred product of uncle-niece incest didn’t it? Shame they didn’t get rid of her being the product of pedophilia either.

Speaking of superior Shoujo adaptations that Akitaro Daichi improves upon by getting rid of at least some of the degeneracy, pic related also got rid of all the incest and grooming/age gap degeneracy from the manga, but in exchange turned the Dog Man into an unironic pedo unfortunately.

>>280807203
>Kodocha’s on here because the anime got rid of her being an inbred product of uncle-niece incest didn’t it?
OP here, no. The final arc of the manga is the only thing for me it has over the anime actually.
My issue with the manga is that it just isn't that funny and the cast is mostly unlikeable. The Anime adds the actual show Santa's part of, Kodomo No Omocha, which hugely improves the comedy, it also adds a ton of Anime original scenes which tackle the issues with the idol industry earlier than the Manga and develops the cast a lot, that's why when the Anime tries to go back to adapting the Manga with the timeskip it's an issue since the cast have to suddenly lose their character development and trust media rather than Sana for the sake of NTRbait which sucks, but even after that they add a bunch of. Anime original content that's just way more entertaining than the Manga.
In a Kodocha thread someone made I saw someone saying that the reason the Anime was so different was because they had to release it in a Kodomo timeslot rather than something apt for Shoujo + had to turn the show into a toy commercial because of it, so they shill stuff like Santa's recorders and camera. But I don't actually know if any of that is true or not.

>>280807451
>Kodocha anime turned into Kodomo
If that were the case they would’ve also censored her parents age gap and Sana being the product of pedophilia and grooming, but they didn’t.

>>280807614
Anon Puniru, Kamen Rider Gavv and No.1 Sentai Gozyuger are Kodomo shows that are literally airing right now.
Puniru has a pedophile as part of the sidecast and constantly fetishizes Puniru
The protagonist of Kamen Rider Gavv is a rapebaby and the villains are drug dealers
The main antagonist of Gozyuger literally raped the team's Mecha and had a rapebaby that serves as the Mecha of the 6th ranger, all that while red ranger's older brother who's a villain has abusive incest undertones with him, saying that he wants to marry him mad mentally breaking him by killing his girlfriend right in front of him.
And keep in mind that Kodomo are more regulated now, imagine back then when there were less regulations, I mean Abaranger which aired in 2003 had a pregnant woman get tentacle raped partially off-screen.

>>280807705
>Kodomo anime unironically feature pedophiles as cast members
Japan is beyond saving at this point…

>>280807805
By sidecast I mean a character not the actors just in case.
There's this girl who the protagonist has a crush on but actually she's a raging pedophile who children fear, her mother is implied to have committed /ss/ too but it hasn't been said yet if the father was an actual child or an adult that looks like a child I think.

The rape in Kamen Rider and Sentai only involved adults but in Gozyuger there's a villain who so far seems to have kidnapped a 10 year old and groomed her into becoming a Gyaru, we don't have the full context but it doesn't seem like they're going to redeem him since he's addicted to pills and attempted to kill himself by cutting his body and is currently manipulating the blue ranger by being toxically abusive.

>>280807892
Kirara isn't a pedophile, she just has extreme maternal instincts. She's basically Elmyra from Looney Tunes in anime girl form.

>>280807805
You do realize that Japan has less cases of child abuse than the US and with the whole Epstein it seems like most of the government officials who complain about anime are actual pedophiles right?
In the end all you need is to teach your child to have critical thinking but the US does a really poor job at that.

>>280799773
I really don't get why they skipped that, not that it makes Miranjo grooming him any better, it's so weird because every other redemption in the manga so far feels very well thought out and then you have Miranjo on the complete opposite end.

>>280807705
>all that while red ranger's older brother who's a villain has abusive incest undertones with him, saying that he wants to marry him mad mentally breaking him by killing his girlfriend right in front of him.
>”incest”
>And it turns out to be the other type of nothingburger incest, yaoi/yuribait
I wouldn’t be surprised if gaycest is treated like NBR in Japan and not considered “real incest” so is allowed to be shown to kids. After all, you see how they censored the actual honest-to-god BR straight incest in Kodocha when turning it from a shojo into a Kodomo by removing Sana’s parents being uncle and niece, betcha anything that if that red ranger was a woman who had her older brother acting yandere towards her it would’ve never been allowed to air, or they would’ve been forced to make it NBR.

>>280808122
Well Kamen Rider had an incest gay kiss in a DVD special, but they might have been allowed to do that despite it being a kids show because it didn't air on TV.
There was also a cotw in a Sentai who was unironically a lesbian but she gets rejected.

>It's the prudish shoujo hater anon again

It’s considered “prude” now to hate anything with pedophilia and incest in it? That’s just being normal brainwashed weeb-kun.

I still enjoy shoujo that has rape like Hana Yori Dango, or Josei with BDSM/kinkshit

Red Ranger In Another World

I'll be the first to admit: the ART STYLE of the manga is superior, though in a way that really never could have made the jump to animation. But the anime is the superior way to experience the story overall, because its the same medium as what the references are based on.

It's no secret that Red Ranger is based on toku shows, most directly sentai. The manga does a good job referencing those tropes in a 2d form, but what they were referencing was audiovisual in nature. The anime went above and beyond in bringing those references back to life in the way that they were always meant to be. No matter how good the manga is, you know what it can't do? Give Kizuna 5 (the ranger squad that the MC is from) their own theme song that plays during appropriate moments. It can't have the flashbacks to his time as a ranger fighting kaijin have fun little details like episode titles getting cut off in scene transition, implying that it really is literally a show. Stuff like that.

>>280808292
Yeah I believe that country that clearly has a lesser crime rate and overall better IQ is more safe than the country with a high crime rate that's constantly trying to appropriate content and companies from other countries, it isn't that hard to understand

>>280808051
I don't know anon, she immediately tried to grab Puniru's ass when she first met her and the child from the beginning of that episode seemed to be scared shitless

>>280808437
I think something that really helped the anime be superior is that the staff consisted of a mix of hardcore tokusatsu fans and actual people from the tokusatsu industry. Funnily enough while it released earlier, just after he finished writing the scripts for this show, the guy in charge of the series composition got picked to do an actual Super Sentai season.
Good for him although the actual season he did kind of sucked because for some reason he left the show for 12+ episodes which severely damaged the show's quality.

>>280807805
>>280807892
I think anime is need of Collective Shout.

>>280808450
Everyone's scared of Elmyra too. They're smother mothers who want to forcibly turn everyone and everything they find cute into being their babies, not looking to do inherently sexual things with them. Super Creek from Uma Musume is another similar character.

>>280808509
>I think something that really helped the anime be superior is that the staff consisted of a mix of hardcore tokusatsu fans and actual people from the tokusatsu industry.

Agreed. I picked up the show mostly under the assumption that it would just be something I watch in the background as second screen content and paid little attention to, but it became I think my favorite show of that season because while the *premise* was derivative and dumb, the show itself was dripping with the charm that you see in passion projects. Someone, probably multiple someones, working on this show gave a damn. Maybe they didn't have the money or the talent they need to fully realize their dream, but they swung with everything they could and I will always respect that.

>>280808583
Can someone explain to me how the fuck do these aussies have enough power to affect multiple global companies or would that be too off-topic for this thread?
Either way just this morning Japan said that they're taking measures against the whole payment processors issue saying it's a monopoly so it seems like they aren't going to bent the knee or allow that company to affect them. Right now the biggest thing causing anime censorship in Japan proper rather than just dub/sub releases is the anime producer Remow who wants their anime to be inherently censored so that they can upload and monetize their releases on youtube, it sucks because censoring Jigoku Sensei Nube caused the pacing to go completely whack since that clearly wasn't the route the anime scriptwriter wanted to go.

The manga is very formulaic each chapter with Nishikata and Takagi-san participating in a challenge and Takagi-san wins because Nishikata drops his spaghetti. Some chapters are cute while others get repetitive.
The anime does a fantastic job of fleshing out the plot and characters.

Everything else you mentioned in both shows is portrayed as serious as possible although the rape of the protagonist's mother in Gavv is only implied. That said the show's writer wrote a Sentai season back in 2021 where a villain implicitly said he had a rape harem of 899 wives.

Manga is also good, but music and animation really benefit the atmosphere.

Urusei Yatsura OG > Manga.

The manga had a great set up and cast, but Rumiko focused way too much on similar comedy stories, without longer arcs (unlike her later manga) and rarely doing chapters in a different style, which makes things repetitive fairly quickly.

The anime has some problems of its own (mainly messing up some jokes from the manga), but it's just way more inventive than the manga was, after a while letting stories go in very different styles. It also works as a big time capsule of Japan's pop culture at the time filled to references to anything the animators liked.

The 70s version had better OST, direction, voice acting and overall atmosphere, more or less. The original series also gave more attention to side characters — some got extra lines or even full episodes. One of them even became a fully fleshed-out character instead of just a background NPC. Granted, there are more filler episodes, but they’re genuinely well done, and you’d hardly notice a difference between them and the canon material.

David Pro's adaptation is basically a "best of" from the manga. I don't think the directing is bad, and they actual sell the dramatic scenes pretty well. In fact, the original anime show suffered from rushed production at the start, and some of the early episodes are actually better animated in the David Pro anime than in the Pierrot show.

However, being a close adaptation of the manga, actually goes on to hurt it later on. The stories quickly become fairly one note since they're all humorous with a fairly similar style. Unlike later works, Rumiko doesn't really do any long arcs before the ending of the UY manga, and it's all episodic comedic adventures with characters introductions and some very rare dramatic chapters. And that's basically what you get out of the David Pro anime.

The original anime starts similar to that, but after the first 30 or so episodes, the anime staff start exploring very varied styles and techniques when doing anime original content to fill in full episodes (since at that point they change from half episode stories to full episodes). Some of the early anime original content is just turning the chaos of several scenes up several scales, but later on they start inserting scenes and even full stories in completely different styles from what you'd get in the manga. The Pierrot show is still really episodic, but the -style- of the episodes becomes much more varied than in the manga or the David Pro anime by the time you get to the 2nd year of its run.

>>280823725

How's the live-action adaptation of Sailor Moon?

>>280826675
Antithetical.
Urusei Yatsura in the 80's really wrote the rules of what an adaptation could be, fast, loose, but ultimately creative. Take the characters from the manga and put them in original situations. The episode director was like a Feudal Lord, a whole ton of leeway on what he wanted to do with his episode. You could have radically different styles week over week. Otaku began to track the episode staff, and then they'd tune in based on when they were in the credits. Argue with other otaku about who the best were.
We are so far and away removed from that culture and state of the industry. Modern adaptations are really rote. The people involved have little freedom. The modern adaptation is a paint by numbers affair and these days instead of the creative freedom of adaptation being celebrated, the average anime viewer in Japan is likely to castigate even attempts at dynamic translation of the source material to a new medium.

>>280828448
Weirdly enough I feel that even though Pierrot introduced this mentality of being creative with adaptations with succeses like Urusei Yatsura, Ninku and Yu Yu Hakusho, it was also them and Toei who killed the trend by going overboard on filler with Naruto and Tokyo Ghoul.

You and the people who did these kinds of adaptations never seem to realize that there's a middle ground between a panel to panel adaptation and some bullshit that barely resembles the original. People dislike when adaptations attempt to do something different and fail at it, while a lot of other people think different = good. The fact is that the people doing the adaptations just don't understand the source material as well as the person who actually made it, which is why original content usually falls flat on its face and generally stands out compared to the material actually well adapted.

Even this season you have City, which is pretty good in general but has content shuffling for seemingly no reason, or the reason is the lack of episodes and the studio wanting to rush to the "good stuff". 99% of the time this shit just reeks of animation studio employees wanting to justify their existence by putting their own personal mark on an adaptation even if it sucks and is retarded. That and as a manga reader, all these close adaptations you and others complain about generally have a ton of issues too. Maybe it's because studios think people want dry, panel for panel adaptations, but people would be willing to accept interesting or original content if it was good. But that's rarely the case for the reasons I outlined above. And due to that it alienates both manga fans and people who want adaptations to take advantage of the medium. I also fully believe that anime is incredibly standardized, both in animator skillsets and format of anime cours and seasons, which is part of the problem as well.

Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu so far, it has way better pacing and horror which is surprising since most horror anime suck hard

Making Rei a bitch unironically made the anime more fun to watch. Her and Usagi have the greatest chemistry. It’s a shame they ditched the other sailor scouts’ potential love interests though.

The manga being so good and the budget allocation is what carried this show. Director for this shit was excellent.

Like you yourself refer to, things that start off as convention in the anime industry become hard and fast standards. Why? When industry convention for so long has drifted toward weakening the position of Episode Director it's no surprise that direction starts to become a lost art. Unused muscles atrophy. And what's downstream of that lost art? Well one of those things is definitely panel for panel adaptation. To treat the manga as a storyboard without asking the questions about why is the manga this way? If I translate that 1:1 to the screen am I even saying the same thing the mangaka is? What about the temporal aspects of a 24 minute episode has that don't exist in a 40 page chapter? You complain about someone doing something different represents someone who potentially doesn't understand the material but at least they were thinking about what would work. The robot coasting on autopilot throw the panels I'd argue doesn't even have the potential to understand a thing, they aren't thinking.

A lot of it rests on the shoulders of audiences. Clearly the Nip twitter mob jumps down the throats of attempts at creative adaptation that don't hit the mark but at most they grumble about a boring adaptation. So the industry follows.

>>280830029
I will never forgive adult swim for firing the director after the first episode and then hiring a bunch of literalwho chinese to handle the rest

I didn't like the Trigun manga. I felt like the art wasn't very readable and the paneling was incoherent.

Haruhi of course, especially the movie.

This movie is proof I’m not biased. I watched it without knowing the original was Japanese and thought it was much better than most Hollywood action sci-fi. Generations of nepo babies really ruined American entertainment industry

Fuck off back to r*ddit subhuman newfag. You don't belong here and have no business talking about Bishoujo SENSHI Sailor Moon. Yes, Senshi is how we the actual fans call it, that's how it has always been and if you were actually from the '90s you would know that the original term in which all the materials were translated was "Soldier".
I'm sick of your ilk plaguing /a/. You'll never belong.

>>280834194
>I'm sick of your ilk plaguing /a/. You'll never belong.
The old Sailor Moon dub wasn’t like today’s pozzed tranny localizations though, it was actually based. It pretty much only censored all the woke homofaggotry while leaving everything else intact, including the loli fanservice, pic related. Name one, just one modern dub that would dare to do that today.

The only reason someone would prefer the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon over the DIC dub besides just being a cringe weeb faggot, is if they themselves are a woketroon libtard themselves. As far as I’m concerned the old dub simply IMPROVED on the original and made it actually watchable compared to the sub’s being the poster child for LGBTBQQ propaganda.

>two schizos having a argument
Man the thread suddenly went to shit.

>>280833729
In what way? The new characters of the anime fit thematically, it expands the themes of the story and the anime is really well animated, the adaptation being written by the guy who did Samurai Flamenco and Gun X Sword certainly helped.

>>280834142
Kyoani ended up signing a shitty contract and didn't get paid enough for the Hyouka adaptation, they implicitly said that if Hyouka ever gets a new adaptation it will be done by a new studio, which most likely means the same for K-On.

Episode 4, 7 and 8 are superior than the visual novels
I wonder if there are any other adaptations superior to their visual novel source material because so far every single I've seen wether it's an anime or manga is usually worse

>>280835176

and then act holy superior, while living in a pile of your own shit. you are a literal normalnigger

>>280835428
I agree about 7 and 8 for sure, but didn't 4 have mediocre art and flanderize Ange pretty badly?

>>280835563
It had experiments art which personally I liked a lot since it made creative use of the paneling, it did flanderize Ange but I much prefer the manga because it basically fixed all of the pacing issues by rearranging some events. Arc 4 is the worst thing I've read from Ryukishi so far because the pacing made it a massive slog to read.

>>280769507 (OP)
I still think to this day Hyouka is the best adaptation Kyoani has made. This is especially true when looking at how they adapted the festival arc, you can compare the author's mediocre writing to the adaptation in Shoushimin, if you're interested.

>>280835179
Don't they still have to give Kadokawa money for advertisements like these? Also I thought Violet Evergarden was Kadokawa

>>280777619

It's Attack on Titan. Their art is gorgeous compared to how ugly the original art style was and the scriptwriter Yasuko Kobayashi fixed most of the pacing issues

>>280836250
No I agree with you, I hated everything after volume 3, the sequel and the doujin sequel
I think the anime not adapting everything is a blessing in disguise but also the anime looks visually stunning and the music being done by the same composer as Neo Ranga adds to its weirdness

>>280836320
>I certainly am
lmao no.
>>280836384
oh i thought you meant you sincerely didn't like even the first arc.

>>280836121
It's always hilarious to see this "the anime just so happened to adapt the only good parts of the manga" regardless of how far it got or for what reason they stopped adapting. You'd think people would realize they like what was adapted over what wasn't solely because it's anime, which they like over manga, not because there's any actual quality differences. Even more when this is a sliding scale and when more stuff gets adapted later it magically starts being lumped in with the "good" stuff.

>>280832767
>What incest was in the original Fruits Basket manga and 2019 remake that wasn’t in the first anime adaptation?

>>280837294

>>280777619
WAY too many changes, WAY too americanized.

>>280837344
That's in the manga though? I mean what were you expecting just look at the manga and anime covers
The anime is better because about 14 episodes in the story diverges into something cooler than anything that has been done in the manga so far, but like I said it's not a high bar to beat, I just wish the new seasons had continued this storyline instead of going back to adapt the manga

>>280777588
Did they ever talk about the casting process for this? Hanako's voice is fucking perfect and I don't think any manga reader was prepared for it

>It's always hilarious to see this "the anime just so happened to adapt the only good parts of the manga"
You mean Usagi Drop?

>>280838663
It's something people often say about a lot of series. Though in the case of Usagi Drop, I've heard people say the latter part of the manga has a lot of problems, but the only thing that ever comes up about it is the "eww the girl fell in love with her adoptive dad" part, which is no different than the person in here complaining about Fruits Basket. Being personally offended by a manga's content is a poor criticism.

>>280769604
I think the final fight with naruto vs sasuke and guy vs madara is better than the anime at least.

>>280836659
>n-no you!
I accept your concession. The fact you ignore the existence of the quality threads we had about the subject during years prior and your obsession with people getting your supposed "references" just proves you are just a larping underage shitter that got BTFO. Kys

Pre-timeskip Usagi Drop was beloved because of its heart-warming moments and grounded family drama. The manga just felt like a different series post-time skip.

Kaiji, even with all the stuff that got left out in the anime.

>>280805408
I don't think it's fair to say the BDs flopped. They were always meant to be a luxury item so I doubt they thought it would make huge numbers. Production IG said it did very well financially though.

>>280848683
Based and correct on all counts

>>280848683
Are you taking Battle Royale's source as the manga or the book? Because I think the book is great (and it's the original). The movie is too, but it suffers from the same thing as most book to movie adaptations or manga to anime adaptations in having a lack of time to cover everything.

>>280849566
I still can't believe that the reason we never got a season 2 of Kaiji was that the show was just meant to be an ad for the shitty live-action adaptation

>>280770654
Care to elaborate?

>>280835428
Episode 8 of the manga is required reading imo, Ange has a more satisfying ending here. It doesn't have music though so you still need to read the entire VN of course.

>>280852837
Same, Umineko has good reread value so reading the manga after the visual novel helps you realize a bunch of stuff while getting a more satisfying ending
