Manga Readers are only 75-85% always right when it comes to manga superiority over anime adaptations. Still there were really good anime adaptation over the manga source material like the original Saint Seiya, Frieren, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Next year we are getting Tougen Anki, and I am really interested to see if they won't censor anything for the international version since there is a lot of blood, guns, certain dialogue scene that american corporations will definitely cut, and violence in this manga.
honestly it will always depend on the manga, bc i think Frieren with only 18 pages each and a heavy emphasis on time is kind of constrained by its own medium, so it doesn't have the quota to have extravagant battle scenes, and minutes of loitering in between cities that the anime could have and capitalise on. meanwhile i think that Fujimoto's use of panels will never be recreated in anime (i love the csm anime, i mean more ike the cuts in Fire Punch followed by a double page spread)
Solid points. I haven't read Fire Punch yet, but am definitely more interested in it now based on what you're saying since I really like interesting use of panelling in manga.
Going from the 90s style anime of berserk (which I think is great), to the awful looking 3d adaptation from 2016 just leaves you asking yourself why they even made the new one in the first place. Although it has mostly to do with style, and I understand that 3d animation still had some work to do at the time, I think it destroys the point of animating manga in the first place, it's both the visuals and the story that should work toghether to form the perfect artpiece. P.S I hope that the berserk manga will one day get a good adaptation that redeemes itself as the masterpiece it is.
Fair enough, I personally really liked the art direction of the chainsaw man anime. In contrast I disliked the direction they went with in the Jigokuraku adaptation. I guess it just comes down to personal taste
Depends on the genre I think. For anything action heavy then yeah definitely, but even if something like Oyasumi Punpun had a good anime adaptation, I think I would still rather read that kind of story than watch it.
no that's anime and who haven't read a manga yet think, art in msnga us alot better m, and pacing and other components, anime is usually a downgrade adaptation
