After watching ep 7 last week I decided to give the LN a try. It was really good. And after watching ep 8 I am really disappointed. They cut out a lot of scenes and it's really frustrating.

Cool story.


No but seriously, welcome to almost every adaptation ever. You can either have a condensed version that wraps up the story in a reasonable amount of time while leaving out certain events, or you can have a long, dragged out story that takes several seasons and years to faithfully adapt just one volume. Or you could go the Uzumaki route and have the pacing be so ridiculously fast that nothing makes sense.

I have not read any light novel myself, but I've heard almost every light novel adaptations are like this.

You are disappointed and the publisher is glad you said it.

Why? Cuz the anime could sell the book to someone and that's what it's supposed to do.


Now then. It's not limited to animes and light novels. Most adaptations have to change / cut things from the source material in order to match the constraints of the process of adaptating (ie: you can't see light when listening to podcasts, smell things you see on screen or hear the character's screams when reading) so it's to be expected. Technical, economic and time ressources too are some huge constraints.

When enjoying the source material of an adaptation you liked I would recommend you to forget wat wasn't adaptated and to think about everything you could enjoyed to their fullest solely because they could be adaptated.

Great points and information!

Thank you!
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Anime adaptations always pick and choose, meaning to remove certain content, so they can give attention to the main content.

Being disappointed makes little sense, because this is the normal state of things.
