| When Demon Slayer was still airing in 2019 with just 11 episodes, I recall watching it on Kissanime and dropping it at the first episode. In 2020, a year later, I made the decision to watch it again since one of my schoolmates was gushing about how amazing episode 19 was. So I decided to give it a try again, but I only managed to stick with it for six episodes before giving up on it once more. I finished the manga in 2021, and while I did enjoy it to some extent, I decided to never bother touching the anime adaptation again and never will. Yes, I know it's one of those highly regarded shows with gorgeous animation and intense fight scenes, but I found it boring, slow and uninteresting at times. What shows are like that for you?  |
| I refuse to watch the usagi drop anime because it didn't adapt the ending of the manga. |
| I usually don't touch any adaptation of something I already got to read because most of the time I think it's too soon to revisit that story. For instance I only watched Fate Zero this year because it's been 8 years since I last read the novels, so I thought it was a good opportunity to check such a acclaimed adaptation and revisit that story. Now, there are plenty of adaptations that I refuse to watch just because they don't seem to do justice to the original work: Blame and Knights of Sidonia: CGI crap. Blame artwork is half of the a appeal of the manga, so I would rather stay with the original work. Dorohedoro: Same as Blame. Golden Kamuy: Terribly paced adaptation, and there's nothing worse than a terribly paced adventure. Chainsaw Man: Anime felt way too cinematic and pretentious compared to the dorky and stupid feel of the manga. Also Fujimoto artwork and expressiveness is something else. |

@tchitchouan can you tell me about the ending. ?
| @Yonahim_Zz after a time skip the girl grows up and starts developing feelings for her paternal figure in a very incestuous way, at first he was apprehensive about it and then just goes with it. |
Reply to Yonahim_Zz
@tchitchouan wow … didn’t expect that
Do you know what chapter to start from after the anime ?
Do you know what chapter to start from after the anime ?
| @Yonahim_Zz Yes, start from volume 8 and then 9. or simply just go to chapter 25. |

| I refused watching Ashita no Joe for 3 years, then I decided to pick it to see how it was and it was worth it. Might do this with Slam Dunk soon. |

| @-Shurit- I'd like to ask if the FateZero light novel delved deeper into the ins and outs of holy grail, servants, explained why Kirei was corrupted by holy grail, and angraa manyu. I notice Gil used his EA during the fight against Iskandar's reality marble, but why didn't he use it against Shirou Emiya in UBW? And I rewatched it once and wondered, Did Ufotable really fully adopt the light novel or did they leave a lot of details? Correct me if I'm wrong. |

| @Lucifrost I heard a lot of talk about this one in otomegames, and it's been on my backlog since then. May I know why you dislike it? |

Umineko - if you're aware of this series, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate why
| @velveteenvamp Umineko VN has been sitting on my hard drive for a while now. I heard a lot of good things about this, and it's highly regarded in the vn community, but I also heard negative comments like Umeniko's pacing is pretty slow and you should read the manga for a better ending, which is a problem with longer vns. I did read the Muv Luv trilogy, and oh my god, the information dumps and excessive text are just too much, and it takes a while to get to the good part. That's why I'm hesitating to read Umineko, which has a 150-ish hour length. |

| @Kushna Sorry, it's been years since I played it. I only remember that Shiraishi has the 1 good route. |

| @Kushna I prefer to think of Umineko (and Higurashi) as a series of 8 shorter stories, rather than a single freakishly long story. |

| @Kushna I'm not really sure since it's been so long since I last read it, still I don't think the novels go any futher on what was displayed on the show. I flipped through some volumes to compare certain scenes and, yes, they explain a bit more certain situation, but I believe the anime did a great job not letting any important exposition out. While watching the show, at times I felt like some details were being left out, then I remembered most of them are explained through FSN VN, like Saber not being able to go into spirit form like other servants and the nature of the Holy Grail. Kushna said: I notice Gil used his EA during the fight against Iskandar's reality marble, but why didn't he use it against Shirou Emiya in UBW? Gilgamesh is such an arrogant mf he refuses to waste his weapons on enemies he consider to be unworthy, like when Tokiomi asks for him to deal with Caster gigantic monster and he refuses to throw more than 4 or 5 swords against It. He probably woudn't waste his greatest treasure on a mere human. |
| Any adaption of a Satoshi Mizukami manga, watched one episode of Hoshi no Samidare and was like "nah this ain't it". |
 |
| Naruto and its upcoming remake. That's the only thing that comes to mind. |
| Mirai Nikki - I find the manga to be one of the worst manga I've read. Orange - I loved it when the manga first released and I read it when it was ongoing until it ended which feels kinda open ended but I can intrepret it in a way I like. Few years later it seems like they added new chapters and seems like the anime also lean towards a possibility for an ending I don't want - I'm not even sure but I don't want to ruin my experience with it so I just refuse to watch it or even read the extra manga volumes. |
| None, I think... I like being able to compare the difference between the manga and anime! |

| Deadman Wonderland The manga was good, but I refuse to watch the anime because it's impossible to properly adapt the story in just 12 episodes. I'm 100% certain that the anime is worse than the manga, which is also "confirmed" by everyone I know who has watched it. I've only watched "The Red Knife Wielder" OVA out of curiosity, but I can't recall much from it. |
 |
| Gotoubun, Bokuben, Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet, I don't think they all fit well in anime adaptation, maybe because I felt it would dumb down the art to make it animated. |
 |
| There's a few mangas that at least has an adaption on it's way and I know I'm not gonna watch them since the manga is not that good in my opinion. It's not like I'd refuse but can't see the point in wasting time on a mediocre manga adaption. One perfect example would be for the upcoming 2.5 Dimensional Seduction |

| @Shirayukin Orange TV series ends the same way as the manga you read. The "Future" movie adapts a part of the manga you did not read. |

| @Lucifrost I don't think I'm motivated to watch it either by now, but that's good to know - I guess it's just the movies I am refusing to watch lol. |
| "Tokyo Ghoul" is an answer that's coming to me. Not my top answer, but I've read the manga series and thought it was okay and don't care to check out the anime. Heard the second seasons is terrible anyways, so it's not my loss either way. |
