Re: Anime: what do you watch?
Only thing that came to my mind, when i read your comment was:
Just to note: I have already watched 42 episodes.
But i agree with you in some degree. But is there any anime adaptation that follows the manga 101%? Take for example "Akame ga kill".. AMAZING Manga. Retarded anime.. Please just burn it to the ground..
But the romance part is dragged out, But they have a reason why it has been.
Would you like to date your lover when she can be blown to piece next time you see her?
Remember i said
decent, not good. Even i knew some places i was like.. "what the fuck is this shit" -_-
I never said there is anime that follows manga 1:1, I think I even mentioned that twice.
"Ok, they twisted/changed a bit this or that in few first episodes, it's fine, happens often."
"Sure, using source to make 1:1 version isn't always an option, so some changes are needed here or there"
My problem with this series was that it started nicely and then went into dumpster. So I checked out manga to see if I am correct about studio fiddling too much.
I was, romance in manga version is much better... Baah, whole story is much better.
Even fact of having your lover being K.I.A. is a reason for actual events in manga, not this crap they served in anime.
They completely changed story at some point, filled it with crap and right now, this is end for this series unless S2 is just another filler as it simply CAN'T follow manga anymore due to recent chapters reveal.
Taking into account source material, visuals, music and such, it's sad looking at what they did.
First 15, maybe 20 episodes are decent, rest of 50? Nope.
Depending on ending, it will either be 4 or 5 out of 10.
Not the first time I see this happen, not the last. Nothing to cry about, just a shame it went that road.
Small edit:
Regarding that gif... Well, if it's shit, it's shit. There are more than 10k series out there, so a lot to choose from.
Let's not even start about how many manga is out there... I have seen great titles that still didn't get adaptation.
Also, just one more time about studio fiddling, there are great examples of it being done correctly and making it an improvement over source material.
Damn, even Youjo Senki got some changes that weren't a bad idea - like art style change, which works for anime better than manga one.
Another edit:
I am sorry... Did I say that they fillered it like studio Pierrot? I just checked what studio was responsible for this anime:
Yep, it's Pierrot... Everything now makes sense.
And worse of worst, they will be making Black Clover adaptation... Well... FUUUUU
