| If I'm not mistaken, Trigun the 1998 TV series is exactly that. |
| One piece..The original manga is like really good the anime had arcs which were longer and went on more than it should have but it's still a great anime |
| The director of the Bokurano anime allegedly hated the manga's ending and diverted heavily. While the manga ending is superior (in my opinion), both versions are really good and have their own merits. https://myanimelist.net/manga/670/Bokurano https://myanimelist.net/anime/1690/Bokura_no |
| If I had a nickel for every anime that began airing on October 9th 2022 that started with a B and ended in "ock", I would have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice.    |
| Youjo Senki (2017) deliberately shuffles things around and omits a few parts. It's a lot better than the LN and let's not even talk about the silly manga. Ghost in the Shell (1995) has basically zero resemblance to the source other than character design and names and it's a lot better. |
| Kimi ga Nozomu Eien anime is better than the visual novel. Visual novel anime tend to be a bit “better” than the actual visual novel with the alterations they usually do. People are gonna disagree with me on that though. |

| @Azulmagia88 I have yet to play that particular game, but I agree with the general assertion. Most of the visuals novels made into anime do not take advantage of the video game medium. Fate/Stay Night is a linear story with bland music and minimal graphics, for example, so nothing of value is lost in the adaptation process. Adaptations are only bad when they're rushed, a practice that is unfortunately all too common. |

| The 1995 Ghost in the Shell film is actually a very loose adaptation of Shirow's original manga, but I'd argue that it surpasses it in every conceivable way. |
Take care of yourself |
| Most KyoAni works end with me not even bothering to check the source. And the times I do, it just confirms the anime deviated in all the right ways and ended up doing all the heavy lifting anyway. |

| @Lucifrost Kiminozo visual novel can take almost 100 hours if you do all the routes and the problem is after a while you will get sick of Haruka with all the alternate routes. The anime solves that problem and mixes the other routes nicely and is able to keep the drama and emotions strong throughout without getting the urge to punch Haruka. Also the D.C.: Da Capo anime does some interesting mixing of routes compared to the visual novel. The newest Grisaia: Phantom Trigger anime fails hard with that with its rushed pacing and skipping so much it sucks compared to the visual novel. So I agree with your point about adaptations are only bad when they're rushed. |

I am unlikely to play through all the routes when I get around to that game. Azulmagia88 said: Also the D.C.: Da Capo anime does some interesting mixing of routes compared to the visual novel. Possibly, but I don't think it's fair to judge DC when the definitive edition still has no English translation. That's among the first visual novels I'd like to play in Japanese after improving my language fluency. Naru Nanao's characters are adorable.  |

The version on manga gamer is still pretty good on its own. |

| @Azulmagia88 It was called DC "Plus Situation" on Playstation and DC "Plus Communication" for Windows. It came out before Mangagamer's DC and features an additional 5 heroines. None of them are in this year's remake, by the way. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3287600/DC_Retune Kotori Love EXP has the full DCPC common route in English, but with none of the heroine routes except Kotori's. |

| What wrong with deviating from the source material? I think the source material is always good..... |
 |
| K-On added a ton of new material that was never in the manga. I was really surprised to learn that Ton-chan was completely anime original. I think the manga is underrated though, too many people ignore it in favor of only watching the anime. |
