Kaguya-Sama: Unfaithful Adaptations are King 

it will be a pleasure to see this channel grow

Man oh man I needed more Kaguya-sama analysis in my life, thank you for that! Keep doing what you're doing, you'll be finding more growth soon, especially with your editing style

Great analysis on the medium, the anime team really nailed it in all departments. One thing thou - it's up to interpretation but if you watch anime first (like I did) the Exam arc looks like a great piece foreshadowing - we yet to see the flashback why Shirogane fell for Kaguya (the swamp incident) but it shows us the same thing that she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and do the right but unpleasant thing if she sees the problem even if it will cost her. And regarding the motivation - the first thing she mentions is that if Ishigami fails and get himself held back it will damage the reputation of Student Council as whole (including her own) which is quite in line with her Shinomiya pride trait. She later mentions President in conversation but more of an after though. So I'm not entirely convinced that this version is worse at flashing out her character then the original with imaginary debt to him. It also plays nicely with later revelation that she was the first Student Council member who noticed Ishigami situation and brought the attention of President to it.

You should totally watch the monogatari series to see the roots from which kaguya adaptation came from and how it made the cast so passionate. Also monogatari is literally the most perfect adaptation for any anime I've ever seen. Might just change your top 10. It certainly changed my top 1.

i loved this video and your cyberpunk edgerunners video!! keep up the good work!!

Kaguya animator team has a new contender in the for of Romantic Killer... while the manga is not really great or exceptional (its fine), the anime adaptation from a technical viewpoint knocked it out of the park.

my problem with anime is adapting less important chapters , ova for example it was so boring , they could have made ova with some funnier chapters but choose lamest ones .

Great video !! Greetings from Chile. Suscrito

Its adaptation is a large part in why its my favorite anime wail its not my favorite manga even tho im only at the start of season 2 because iv been perfering to buy it then read it on a website but the manga I still enjoy because the cut content from the anime feels like dlc when reading the manga instead of being missing content

I will admit the manga was really hard to read in early chapters. So flipped on the anime. I was expecting it to be not meant for me, yet great show. Nope, the anime did it perfectly to be an outright masterpiece. I see so many things in Kagyua in Oshi No Ko as well.

Excellent video! What is the anime original that is your favorite anime? I didn't recognize it.

what anime is that? 👉👈 11:59

Its definitely a great adaptation, but the manga still does it better. Season 3 cuts out 2 really important chapters (92, 112) which showcases Miyuki's character and his philosophies going forward in the story. We missed a lot of Miyuki screentime in season 3 and in return we got a few irrelevant comedic chapters that served zero purpose in the plot (10-yen game for example). "I... I'm not a good person by any means. Perhaps that's why I have a longing for kindness that borders on obsession." - Kaguya (92) Being a manga reader first, the anime's character designs just feels cheap. The colors are washed out and the characters were poorly drawn in season 1 and 2. I mean, compared to the manga, the anime is bound to look worse. I just feel like the art of the manga is lost in translation. The music has always felt off to me. Its always been too goofy and chaotic for something I considered as a slice-of-life chill kind of anime. Even with all this, the anime is still well above most other anime out there.
