Your least favorite anime adaptations from a manga.

Post by Cornwiggle » Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:15 am

List animes that you think failed to capture what made the manga so great when they adapted it.

Mine:

Fullmetal Alchemist=people seem to just love this anime to death, I find the anime to be quite boring and not that interesting, while the manga is like a joy reading each new chapter. Plus Barry got screwed over in the anime :(

Kenshin: Just because you make one season really good, that still means 2 of them sucked.

Pokemon: While I like the anime, there was a manga that came out before it that more or less followed the games and gave it a plot, and really the anime though fun just becomes repetetitive with very little plot.

Shaman King: Big one here. They did a good job on the first 5 or so episodes, then it started to grow less and less like the manga, eventually ending up as probably the most cliched anime ever, along with horrible filler and horrible "plot twists" and filler characters. They made Faust a pansy from his awesome manga version. *sigh*

Samurai Deeper Kyo: When you turn one of the main characters from a badass babe to a whiny *not even a babe* we have a problem. The anime just gave me a headache as it went on, way too cluttered. I did like Migeira though, an anime only character.

Post yours.

Cardcaptor Sakura / Cardcaptors Anime (America). This needs no explanation.... The anime was so kiddish, compared to a wonderful manga work of art.

The original Hellsing anime made me cry... But Ultimate rocks sooooooo good

On the flipside... I consider the anime of Trigun to be better than the manga

Legendz - Loved the manga, but hated how the anime was completely different.

Dragon Drive - Okay, so I loved the anime. Still, I hate how they didn't continue on with the story like the manga did.

Oh, word word word. Villain of the week syndrome gone berserk. There are glimpses of the manga's awesomeness, and the omake in Reload are kinda fun, but by that point the audience has already fallen asleep. :p

I liked the anime, but the Kare Kano manga was much much better, IMO.

Well then there's the obvious fact that the anime was basically cut off and canned before being properly finished (in part because the mangaka disliked the adaptation).
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
