Thread 281670167

Does /a/ finally admit that anime from literature novels like Shoushimin are better than manga or LN adaptations?

>>281670167 (OP)
Read better manga, like HxH for example or anything made by Taiyou Matsumoto

I only read stuff that makes my dick hard.

>>281670167 (OP)
Watch more anime!

I was in those threads, Urino-kun, you aren't going to be able to pull one on me

CSM also feels better than most novels but that might just be me.

No, but thanks for mentioning Colorful and Fune wo Amu. I thought they were completely forgotten.

>following two high school students, Kobato Juru and Osanai Yuki, who make a pact to live ordinary lives. Despite their goal to avoid attention, their extraordinary deductive skills constantly draw them into solving low-stakes, bizarre mysteries that occur around them. The series explores the characters' complicated relationship, their desire for both isolation and connection, and the exhausting nature of constantly masking their true selves.
I must have read a few manga like this. Did this nigger think shit is impressive

no its shit

Maybe try watching the actual anime instead of just reading the fucking synopsis. There’s a big difference between Apothecary Diaries with its goofy FMAB shounen ass monologues and dialogues since the LN writing is juvenile compared to how dialogue flows in a real novel.

>>281671968
It’s better by default since the dialogue doesn’t feel like it was written for kids. Compared to shallow shit like Dandadan

>>281670167 (OP)
Isn't LotGH a book series (not LN)?

He shouldn't though. It's dogshit.

>>281670167 (OP)
Fune o Amu was a borefest and one of my few 1/10s.

A bunch of crap in the "high literary quality" but okay.

>>281672039
There's nothing wrong with Earthsea, though. It's a great fantasy adventure story for young children and teenagers. Makes sense in the context of an anime/manga/LN comparison since common subgenres from those media are also fantasy and adventure.
>>281672102
For me, Fune wo amu is probably a top3 anime for that year. They're doing a new Live action drama btw.

>>281670167 (OP)
why would I give a shit?

>>281676024
loghfags will literally buy a "book" from the LN section plastered with fujo bait and then try to convince themselves they're reading big boy lit LMAO

>>281670167 (OP)
Antoine Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince can easily mog your "mid" list. And where’s Night on the Galactic Railroad by Miyazawa Kenji? That ones a classic too plus it even has an anime adaptation.

What I like = Good
What you like = I don't care

Those are adverts for the new anime, not illustrations for the novels.

Woke trash written by a woman who wanted to feature negroids in fantasy.

>>281670167 (OP)
Nope, the whole concept of "higher literature" is, at least in the current day context, just stemming from retards who went for literature degrees and found out that it's fucking worthless nowadays, so they try to justify their miserable existence and livelihood like this.

>>281670167 (OP)
All secondarist anyway

>>281670167 (OP)
Berserk is the best work of literature in that pic. Every time I start reading something I ask myself "Is this at least half as good as Berserk?", and if it isn't, I drop it almost instantly. I know it's a very tall order, but those are my standards.

>>281670167 (OP)

>Anything other than steaming dogshit
It stopped being cool the moment they stopped making it a shounen battle anime and turned it into a hamfisted commentary on the nazis.

>>281670167 (OP)
nabokov's lolita adaption when?

>>281671343
you can add me to that train of thought

>>281675798
True

>>281679615
Dune is literally there bro and Berserk couldnt even touch the surface of Dune

Kodomo shit is often more mature than shonen shit. I don't understand how people only watch shonens

Shoushimin was so bad and nonsensical I dropped it.
If that's what you consider good then your taste in anime is equally bad.

>>281677109
>For me, Fune wo amu is probably a top3 anime for that year
Same, but it was a weak year.

>>281682030
Ghibli films like Totoro have more depth than shounen, and Ghibli actually gets the basics of how not to make a story suck.

>>281682133
A good script is a good tell for solid writing, and shounen/LNs are awful at it. Dialogue needs a good flow and not sound like troupy shounenshit. Even Orb and Apothecary Diaries don't get that right.

>>281678402
Good books always contain fantastical elements like plotting ghosts, or intelligent whales, or impossibly rich crime bosses. "Realistic" stories that only exist to make the audience empathize with mundane characters are for women.

>>281670167 (OP)
Dune is garbage dude, a random isekai is much better.

>>281670167 (OP)
SSY was quite good and I think it nailed something fundamental in the writing by building up to a huge calamity that comes later in the story. Even "good" shounen like AoT fumble that since Isayama didn’t even come up with the Rumbling until S4.

This is the only literature you need.

>Desperate energy flowed into Murbella. She responded in the only way she knew: touching, caressing—using all of the techniques she had learned so carefully in the long years of her apprenticeship.
>To each thing she did, Duncan produced a wildly stimulating counter-move.
>Murbella found that she no longer could control all of her own responses. She was reacting automatically from some well of knowledge deeper than her training. She felt her vaginal muscles tighten. She felt the swift release of lubricant fluid. When Duncan entered her she heard herself groan. Her arms, her hands, her legs, her entire body moved with both of the response systems—well-trained automation and the deeper, deeper plunging awareness of other demands.
>How did he do this to me?
>Waves of ecstatic contractions began in the smooth muscles of her pelvis. She sensed his simultaneous response and felt the hard slap of his ejaculation. This heightened her own response. Ecstatic pulsations drove outward from the contractions in her vagina… outward… outward. The ecstasy engulfed her entire sensorium. She saw a spreading blaze of whiteness against her eyelids. Every muscle quivered with an ecstasy she had not imagined possible for herself.
>Heretics of Dune

I love Dune's "deep" narrative. Also love it's "high" concept, emphasis on the "high" that Frank Herbert must have been when he came up with chairdogs.

>>281670167 (OP)
Some of those novels are being over hyped in the hopes that no one who read them will call it out

>>281682820
Still didn’t prove it’s any worse than “mid” in the novel world. At worst it’s just the usual horny writing you’d see from Murakami.

Meanwhile the most “deep” storytelling in manga is just Guts and his one-note perseverance theme repeated for the ten millionth time.

>>281670167 (OP)
Use the superior show Hyouka instead of Shoushimin you faggot.

There are still manga animes with heavy themes, y’know. It's called Nausicaa.

>>281670167 (OP)
that's a trvth nvke, i'm afraid

>>281670167 (OP)
>AoT on high literary quality
oh i'm laffin

hyouka has great visual direction and was animated during kyoani's golden days, which saved the mundane as shit plot, shoushimin was not so lucky.

You're missing The Wolf King: A Fantasy Romance in high literature.

>>281681951
Dune would have already been forgotten if the movies didn't revive it. Meanwhile there were berserk fans willing to put up with 2 new chapters a year for a decade because it's so good.

that being said yes novels > LN because they are written with an end in mind not continuing on until the editor tells you to wrap it up, same problem manga has.

Tbf, Dune is an old novel that inspired big films like Star Wars and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Berserk, on the other hand has a massive modern following and a huge chunk of the glazers are Soulsfag.

>>281689299
I never watched Shoushimin but is this supposed to be an American Psycho reference or some shit?

>>281689351
Are you seriously implying beserk hasn't influenced a gorgillion works?

also that african proverb about if you dont make a place for young men in the village/community they will come back and burn it down.
a lot of jap neuroticism can be boiled down to ostracization = bad, makes sense when you realise that it was a very communal culture where people weren't even allow free movement within japan for centuries and had families living in the same villages for centuries. imagine being stuck with your highschool class all your life and being dependant on them

Berserk created Dark Fantasy?

>>281689337
look I can pull 1000 messages from Nabokov's books too. Bullshit enough and you can find meaning from anything

Well Kijin Gentoushou exists, and it’s a novel that isn’t any better than a LN/manga.

>>281678807
It's not even the quality of the books, it's that the anime isn't good.

I honestly don't get the hate for Earthsea. The later volumes are pretty bad and it could be some of the hate comes from poorly read /pol/tards who are overreacting about the feminist arcs, or maybe teenagers who were forced to read it at a time you hate anything that's forced down your throat.

It's a very simple story with simple, musical writing that's not too flowery. I read it as a 30yo for the first time and I loved every page of it.

Not much of comparison, but the world would be a more educated place if kids read Earthsea instead of Harry Potter and that little faggot's beaming smile and going out for walks every 10 pages.
