"The Manga Was Better" 

Love is War did this for me. I love the anime adaptation so much.

Chainsaw Man 🥸

For me it was One Punch Man S1, Love is War, Chainsaw Man, and Mushoku Tensei

AOT adaptation is way better than the manga

@@Mitaka-Asa to be fair, that mostly boils down to Mushoku Tensei manga being a poor adaptation of the Light Novel, which is fantastic, while the anime is an adaptation of the Light Novel, not the manga. The anime is still so damn good though and I almost couldn't ask for a better adaptation.

IIRC they also fucked it up though by recapping it and flashing back like 500 times. It's so long ago its fuzzy now but I remember being impressed and then being like "and now you yucked it all up" lol.

Still get the goosebumbs.

this and the power (chikara) arc is really good. literally the only filler thats worth a movie status.

@@desmondmilesful yes, Chikara was great. The only filler I tell people to watch

anime sucks

I want to watch the berserk anime caus of the amazing music but i can't stand the animation

Reading AOT after watching adaptation (stopped once caught up with anime) was the best decision of my life. Having soundtrack playing inside my head whilst reading fighting scenes is freaking awesome experience.

It similar with Naruto, the first anime series. Maybe the biggest number of epic melodies per anime.

​@@cocacolaowo318I seriously do not understand what people take issue with regarding the animation, it seems ridiculous. Does everything have to have CGI touch ups all over it like modern anime for you to watch it??

@@dudeman5303 Ok bro, you go watch the 2016 adaptation then. I just said i don't want to watch an anime and ur malding over it

Yeah I agree. The only thing for me is that I dont like how Kaguya is drawn in manga. I think it got better over time, but I mostly like her thanks to the anime cause in manga she looks way younger and not so good. This is where anime really helped me appreciate the manga and now I've gone through it to the end. Really it's magnificent how they elevate everything the manga offers.

You can also hear voice actors smiling and having fun, like Shirogane's VA during rapping lmao plus it's just really good Which is lowkey surprising because A-1 adapted it, a complete wildcard of a studio

Yeah Kaguya is just better in anime form in every way. The visual gags and representations of the characters' emotions, the voice acting, the soundtrack, the better and more expressive character designs... plus if you watch the dub there's also the absolute legend that is the narrator.

can someone tell me what the anime at 13:20 is?

​@@satoru2169Pretty sure it's Berserk

Ong

Wait until you start reading Web Novels

So fuckin relatable

@@shinobuk711 EVEN MORE RELATABLE

Started as a anime fan gonna die an anime fan but I still read manga but not a lot

Naruto is one of my fav anime. I am so mad/sad i forgot that scene.

There is a even better thing to that, the fact that we only see the first moments of shikamaru crying and then shikaku shuting the door tells the viewer that this, even though it's a key moment in shikamaru development, it's a personal and private moment for the character, it has so many layers that is genius in so many levels

Never interested in naruto, but that scene with garnt narration made me shed some tears 😢 .

@@ravelhidersunk4458 thats the garnt effect. He makes us emotional about the shit we haven’t even heard of lol

Goated scene for a goated charachter. It allowed him to mourn and then get back to work to kick some akatsuki ass

Ok I was wondering what was up

It's fine for me? Nevermind I see what you meant

Nah, King Crimson just showed up.

Here i thought something was wrong on my end like usual. Sad to hear this might be the case.

Literally the best part of the video to demonstrate the point and it got messed up horribly.

Nadia The Secret of Blue Water anime has a whole arc some people say is filler but that arc is so wholesome an builds the characters

?

I think it was

@@pyowol5275 It was in the manga but that whole thing was really brief in the manga while they really stretched it out in the anime

@@Emwithastarr yeah I read it was because the team swapped people around so another person was directing that part :)

BOCCHISWEEP!🔥

Yo choom, this b*tch be a cyberpsycho

Bocchi is a very similar situation to K-On where now that the anime exists, I will probably never even touch the manga again. It's just that good.

way more than just the visual comedy. Bocchi's VA is fucking incredible, she hits all the notes that a certain classmate of mine does - the hysterical monologuing, the shy voice, people don't sound the same all the time, and she captured that perfectly.

Bocchi was also the first thing that came to my mind. The adaptation is incredible. Interested to see what Garnt thinks about it.

YES!! (coming from a manga reader) THEY ARE AMAZING

Am I the only one who stopped watching op because of bs spoilers talking about season 3 danmachi and numerous others but danmachi s3 was the last straw.

OP? What is that supposed to stand for? I know you're talking about the score but I have never heard of referring to the score as "OP"

@@dudeman5303 it's the opening

@@dudeman5303 I don't actually know, but I think it stands for "opening"

Idk either but both the manga and anime are Michelin star level chefs so I trust what they are cooking

Just read that recently and man I had to set the manga down take a walk then come back and skip those pages

Its easy to understand idk what u mean

living that way will stress all the fun out of your life

Yeah! I keep up with a massive amount of manga and it's just easier to do than to sit and watch anime and I usually like the art in manga better. The time I used to use to seasonally watch I now use for gaming when im off work and I just use an hour or so before I wake up to keep up with all of my manga. I tend to watch a few seasonals for an hour or so before I go to bed now

What source do you use to read your manga? book, website, app?

@@nitetoad I use mangahere since I’ve been using it for almost a decade now

Same. I can read faster than watching anime.

The one time the dub is better than the sub...

i'll be that one guy that said the manga is better. i can't watch the anime, the narrator is soo long and a lot of times overexplaining things that can be conveyed in a scene.

@@BossManSays i think they were talking about the sub and i love the sub too, i heard the narrator in dub is amazing but sub actors of main cast are phenomenal

@@BossManSays Not in the slightest. Aoi Koga and Makoto Furukawa carry the anime hard.

Bleach's anime on the other hand was 58% filler (also the Bleach dub is waaay better than the sub)

As for animation fans or music fans that love their mediums just as much. If there was an original anime and you're a music fan and then was told "The silent stageplay version is best" you would wonder how that is supposed to work.

True. Bocchi went way beyond that tbh. The manga is nothing compared to the anime.

yeah bro bocchi the rock was just an alright 4koma and the production team cranked it to SSS+ tier

Bro I will pray to all gods but please I need s2 of bocchi. That shit's funny af

It’s like someone in the production team just said “i just remembered, we can animate this ANY WAY WE WANT!”

FACTS! That's why I never ever going to read manga before the anime adaptation.

Read the manga 🗿

@@fancy755 lol

JoJo

Vinland Saga!!!!

My brother in Christ. How long has it been? What was the last one? May I suggest going to anirecapped and scouring his videos for good content? He doesn’t always spoil entire shows, but it makes for good anime scouting.

Thats why I watch the anime first, and if it's really good but the next season wont happen until the next millennium, I read the manga.

It's weird to me that he haven't mention sound as one of the primarry way anime can outperform manga as well. Yes, if you have basic VA and soundtrack - no one is going to care, but there are some shows that thrive only because of it's soundtrack is so fucking amazing it keeps the audience in even if every other aspect is unbelievably mediocre. (i'm looking at you Aldnoah zero)

Incredible scene 😍

My absolute favourite anime and manga is Full Metal Panic, and the way KyoAni handled the direction of Full Metal Panic Second Raid is just masterclass When people say they like FMP, they mean they like the Second Raid Also @lazy_bum sorry man, cant answer

Cloverworks is fucking fantastic lately, I'm gonna see everything they'll made so I don't miss any gem like Bocchi

@@viktorv22 in my experience, their work is hit and miss, sometimes they craft seasonal gems like bocchi and dress-up darling, other times you get the crash and burn of promised neverland s2, or wonder egg priority.

@@deadchannel7895I’ve read and watched both and tbh bro the one piece manga is just much more enjoyable but both are peak

@@AeyakS the one piece is not actually a large part of the show its mostly abt freedom

​@@AeyakSnah one piece is just like the end goal like becoming hokage was for Naruto the show is much more

tbh the only thing that i had for the one piece anime was the long ass stare scenes but a pretty easy fix was to just have my finger on the forward arrow key when watching and that fixed everything so now i love the anime

I mean we cant wait for season 2 when they give us cliffhangers tho

It makes a lot of sense when you realize anime is basically just an ad for the original source material. The better the anime, the better the ad, the more likely they'll want to read the OG source material. And it works really really well.

I will never become one

only the case with HxH anime audience it remains in my case the only manga I read to this day

Not everyone but a large chunk does. And of that a small portion goes on to become an LN enjoyer(chad).

learning how bocchi the rock is written in 4koma vs what we got as an anime was an insane shock, it gave so much to the story

Yessir, the anime adaptation gives so much depth to both the comedy and narrative aspects

Other examples are Senryuu girl and Bloom into you.

@@Lianpe98 i loved senryuu girl. It was such a simple and cute anime.

This show is amazing 😭

Anime openings and their songs can be pure art. Like Evangelion.

@@olavikaukamieli1314 eva mid

dudeee the fillers from one piece were all pretty great not like trash boring ones from naruto

@@Viroh no one asked.

@@riku861 I asked 🗿

The English narrator is the best character.

@@janisir4529 yes!

I would say chainsaw man is also a prime example of an anime living up to the manga. I could even argue it's better sometimes

I think depending on the type of manga adaptions need different things. Kaguya did great like u said. But shounen for example need things like demon slayer or bleach tyw arc. Bonus fight scenes and turning pacing destroying explanations into virsual explanations.

@@janisir4529 that could open more a discussion of "can the dub be equally good than the original, or even better?"

- Sun Tzu, God of War: Ragnarok

Truer words have never been spoken, I've gone from "Wow that's an incredible anime, oh there's a manga adpatation of it..." to "This manga is great they should definitely adopt it to an anime" or "About time this manga got an anime adaptation...

ppl who read light novels:

It also helps that Spy x Family is a goofier series that isn't in a rush to tell it's story so it can get away with filler as long as it's funny and/or cute.

And they play to the strengths of animation as well. Sometimes the manga slips up a bit and the anime was able to cover for it and make it better

I still think that the format of SpyxFamily works better as a manga, since there are chapters that are too long in the anime when in the manga you can read them in less than 5 minutes. But that's not to say that WIT and CW aren't doing an excellent job with the adaptation, it's just something to do with the pacing that hopefully they'll fix in the next season.

Kinda like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid in that regard.

I don’t know about this i still prefer the manga. The anime censored a lot of Yor’s gruesome killings and i think the manga lands the jokes a lot better.

Here here... 👏

Ah yes, the manga makes me cry and the anime makes me cry... harder

And Mushoku tensei was one of the best examples if people who love the series come to work together what heights it can achieve

@@mayankmayur495 yeah, its such a good adaptation. It really builds up on the light novel at times.

anime sucks

Bravo 👏

Couldn’t agree more.

I read the manga first and yet the anime hit me like a ton of bricks, as if I had never read it to begin with.

the anime is great but I can't say that one is better than the other. the art in the manga is really detailed and gorgeous in a way you could never fully translate to animation. the manga is still definitely worth reading.

@@vidoxi Of course watch out for the random piss and prolaspe scenes

At this point I try to figure out whether or not the anime is a proper adaptation through, usually, just a single Google search. If the anime has a very positive reputation, I'll check it out. But if the anime is, just, an adaptation of the manga that doesn't do anything new, it's way faster to read the manga. That's just me tho. Obviously to each their own.

As a mostly anime watcher, i can confirm. Manga is almost always better. Unless the anime is virtually flawless then anime is better. Like dbz or naruto and bleach. Except for fillers. They suck most of the time too.

I often only read manga with no anime or it has one but I did not know that Air Gear anime and Manga are godly thou

@@Andytlp fuk the idea of better or not better if the anime is good or great that's awesome if its bad then its still real fun

@@Andytlp i prefered to watch chainsaw man instead of reading it because that animation is GORGEOUS.

One Piece filler content might slow the anime's pace but voice actors always give it all, especially in the more emotional scenes. That's why I never dropped the anime, even in the 550-650 episode range when the animation and art style were the worst since the beginning.

@@rodryguezzz I agree. The voice actors are just so good. Also the animations of the latest arc is amazing, even better then most average short anime series.

@@Tomluke5823 I can't even watch anymore average animes. One Piece has slow pace which makes it a bit "ugh", i get that, but at least it's unique and keeps being so, which is why i keep watching it. Average animes are so unoriginal which makes them less watchable once you've watched hundreads of anime.

The first time I encountered binks sake was in manga form. I knew I had to hear it both dubbed and subbed and soon after hearing both versions I was verge of tears. Truly the end of thriller bark is one of the best moments in one piece

He called out the annoying ones/purists and lazy studios who just copy paste the manga source without much effort (most of them). That's why I think LycoReco and Akiba Maid War are some of the best animes this year because they clearly had creative freedom both visually and literally.

He praised the boys so his opinion is easily discarded. The Manga is always better.

@@timsas did he praise the boys show or comic? Cuz if the show, then based, since the comic is objectively worse in every conceivable way.

true dedication, best girl

@@timsasThe manga is always better” either you’re joking or you’re the problem and are a primary reason of why this video was made… also idc if you genuinely think the comics are better bc the show is 10/10 masterpiece.

I doubt you ever read the manga

4-komas are typically the best example of anime > manga, but they are also the hardest to nail. So much more creativity and interpretation has to go into it.

Boichi is my favorite manga artist, his manga adaptations are always done right

@@ausgod538 I liked the manga and I’m not doing it or the author a disservice, but its tough to say its as good when the BTR anime goes balls to the walls and everyone involved pouring so much passion into every minute detail in each episode

@@dragongali2340 it's just that the anime is really so good that the manga can feel underwhelming in comparaison

so now we can all agree that the manga is way better right? :D

"making out"? suske Gayge

@@stripey566 no food wars

So now we can all agree to make out right? :D

@@stripey566 now we can agree that light novels are better.

I'll be honest, I actually missed that scene when I watched the anime. Because I skipped every single scene, I ended up missing that one too

Another great example is Demon Slayer Season 1 EP. 19.

Mf haven't watched. Still thinks it's another generic cute girls doing cute things anime.

If you haven't noticed, in his latest anime season video Bocchi didn't even made the cut, it was left back in his Twitch clip. That L will fly back to him like a boomerang.

Most likely he hasn't watched it, he doesn't like the cgdct genre

@criccode he probably hasn't, though with the amount of word of mouth hype that Bocchi is getting, that might change. And, I mean, he gushed over K-On in the video, which almost literally created the cgdct genre, so we know he's not against it on principle, just not into the generic/mediocre stuff in the genre that gets made each season.

He ignores bocchi so bad, thinks its a generic cgdct anime I just wanna see his face when it dominates the anime of the year charts💀

Toriyama is pretty underrated for this because so many DB fans have only seen the anime adaptations

Dandadan sweep

Example?

@@greygozhost any random Dragon Ball page... A lot of Naruto's big fights too. There are a lot of good Manga fights that flow. (One Piece is a great manga, but not one of them.)

@@greygozhost Soul Eater

Same here. There are so many bombastic fight scenes in that anime, and yet this scene is one of the few that still remains clear in my mind as a standout after years and years.

I was joking how the show should've been just called Shikamaru, favorite character

Shikamaru is one of the most well written characters in Naruto man. There was one part where he'd ask his father why so many people hate Naruto, and his father ask him why does he think people hate Naruto. He answers with a logical answer (he didn't know he was jenjurki at that time) saying that his annoying and brash, but it still didn't warrant him hate. His father then says, that people are incline to their opinion but it shouldn't let it effect his opinions of Naruto. Honestly, shikamaru's dad should win an award for being the best dad in the Naruto.

I started watching Naruto after delaying delaying delaying, just because of Blue Bird, I don't think you need context, when you listen to it, you can't wait to know the context 🙂

Yeh and one of coldest one liners when Shikamaru says to Hidan along the lines "That ___ is not your god anymore. I am."

He's my favorite as well. His revenge was my favorite pieces of media

Based, thank you. As much as I want to read a banger manga. I always try to hold on until it gets an adaptation, because I want to experience it to the fullest. Cus if I know the story already, I just watched the anime for the visuals, and will mostly get disappointed😞

Yeah. Whenever I get a new Manga name, I will just do a guesswork. "Are we getting an anime anytime soon or not?" And if there is possible anime, I don't read the manga. Chainsaw man, Oshi no ko, Frieren, Call of the night, Spy X Family are all some of those examples. (Fun fact A majority of these manga recommendations are also from Gigguk 😂)

@@Fanimei Yes, I'm just saying that his movies are beautiful to watch because of what I just stated above. The world looks so beautiful in his movies.

@@Fanimei they're technically adapted from LNs which he storyboards first, writes alongside beginning the production, and finalilzes then sells the novel before the movies ever even hit cinema by months. So yes they're adapted from a source. That source is just Makoto Shinkai himself making it both an original material and a film adaption

@@Fanimei Exactly!

His movies are style over substance. Beautiful but with a mediocre story. Like a michael bay movie

@@dracolupine9441 and when it is, its a terrible adaptation

Adding scenes or content isnt necessarily a bad thing, its a matter of how well it integrates and if it expands on things. For example, Konosuba is a great series and it was rather well adapted. But you know what is a tiny thing that was added that wasnt canon to the source material? The "Yes yes Im Kazuma." Line. In the anime its something you may miss because its quick but it somehow feels natural. The VA for Kazuma understood him so well he improved a line that really would be something the character would say in the original work.

86 is mid

Speaking in the context of this video, that's how you know Yorimoi took advantage of its liberties as an original story, and its critical acclaim will attest to that.

can someone tell me what the anime at 13:20 is?

I agree Bocchi was very well done & did massive justice to the manga but I think the Bleach war arc sequel should be accredited as well, they brought it back from the dead with gorgeous animation, added a lot of extra amazing content that adds to the story & cut out things that didn't add to it from the manga, they just did so much for all the old Bleach fans & the heart and soul of the franchise is admirable. I'd be interested in him making a video talking about how much they did to bring it back to glory.

@@neltins5308 i think what gigguk wanted to say from this vid is that even tho mangas being better can be true, it doesnt discount the fact that animation can bring another side to a story that the source material couldnt. This is what is done with bocchi the rock and why alot of people think it has some of the best animation out there. Its not the top of the line fight scenes, or fast moving animation. Its the creativity that cloverworks had to adapt a four panel manga into some of the most interesting and creative pieces of anime in a while

… still pissed at cloverworks for fucking up the promised neverland season 2 although bocchi is a nice change of pace

Same with k-on tbh

Bocchi the rock and Demon Slayer are one of show where anime adapt is better than manga.

Dub or sub? Trying to start season one next week.

@@layzy24 If you want to empathize with real sounding pain and agony from the characters the japanese dub will break you (if you have mental health problems, be careful). And I will wholeheartedly agree on the take of the anime being better than the manga. I caught up to both two weeks ago and can say the anime adds valuable "filler" and rearranges and corrects the pacing for certain scenes within Season 1 where the manga just _flies_ by. S2 is a complete different experience at the beginning even when compared to the manga because of rearranging. Keep in mind nothing is lost or added to the story in S2, it just starts off better. The OST is done by none other than Kevin Penkin and he created his Magnum Opus right then and there. After S1 you watch Movie 3 (Dawn Of The Deep Soul) and follow up with S2 (Movies 1&2 are recaps of S1 with 5 minutes total of new animation, not worth watching the movies just for that). Also there's an optional OVA episode and an OVA short series that both can be watched after Movie 3 if you need a break from the insanity. Good luck surviving! :)
