| I'm surprised no said Arifureta yet.. Compared to the others that's mentioned here at least they didn't get their introduction gutted. |
PixiePuffer said: Despite it being a decent anime by itself, the Umineko adaptation just doesn't work in the context of the VN. It would take way more effort to do a good anime of the VN than this. But as I said: if you do not read the VN, then it's still okay. With the VN it is a nightmare as it destroys any attempt of explanation of the murders. Though I haven't seen Umineko, I formed the same impression after reading reviews. I'm thinking I should give the anime a chance. I know I'm not likely to be bothered by the same flaws as everybody else, and Umineko is so much scarier and more thrilling than Higurashi. |

| It has to be Berserk, doesn't it? S2 of Promised Neverland is close |

At least it's like a really condensed recap, but it felt too much like the Higurashi anime which didn't fit with the more mysterious feel of Umineko. They nailed Higurashi, but just missed with this one. |
| @PixiePuffer What exactly do you mean when you say the Umineko anime feels like Higurashi? Because I think that may be a plus... |

| COTE is no doubt the worst one I have seen And Tower of god too, tho it was on the better side it did skip over a lot of character developments and info about the Shinsu system |

Lucifrost said: @PixiePuffer What exactly do you mean when you say the Umineko anime feels like Higurashi? Because I think that may be a plus... By that I meant it was more horror than mystery, while for me the VN was more the opposite. |
| All three of the webtoon adaptations, especially God of High School Also The Promised Neverland S2 I guess, although everything in the manga after the first arc wasn't the best anyways. But still a disservice. |

Lucifrost said: @PixiePuffer What exactly do you mean when you say the Umineko anime feels like Higurashi? Because I think that may be a plus... As someone who LOVES both, Higurashi is more of a horror/thriller with some mystery to it, Umineko is more of a nuanced mystery with some horror/thriller thrown in. You miss a lot of the best part of Umineko if you present it as a horror/thriller. And perhaps more importantly, Umineko is very intricately detailed and it’s better as a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle not as a 10 piece puzzle |
| sailor moon crystal comes to mind. it's funny, because back before the series came out, i remember wishing for a more faithful adaptation to sailor moon.... only to realize that a lot of the changes the 90s anime made were for the better. |
| idk but promised neverland is peak adaptation |
 |
| Actually I just remembered the monstrocity that was the Junji Ito anime |
 |
| Off the top Tokyo Ghoul comes to mind, Berserk as well. Oh and TPN S2 how could I forget. |
| Can't really say since I don't usually read the source for the anime I watch. One of the reasons I would though is if I was really interested in the story the anime version just dropped without fully adapting which could qualify as a serious flaw if it never got another season. |

CLADDAN said: DEEN/Stay Night Not because it's the worst adaptation (not when the anime that doesn't exist exists), but because it represents everything wrong with most vn adaptations. Dull pacing, skipping important scenes, copy-pasting chunks of dialogue that isn't even relevant to the story, mixing elements of every route and anime original bs, then you add the crappy animation and you get a trainwreck like this. Honestly the only reason it has any defenders is because it was some people's introduction to the series, I can't believe how badly DEEN messed it up when they did the Higurashi anime that same year and it was quite decent. so we're just not gonna mention the dragon I feel like it needs to be mentioned. It was a literal offense. wtf DEEN |

| Any hentai adapted by Queen Bee. At this point I only watch them so I can read the source material because the stories they adapt are actually good. The animation looks like badly redrawn colored in manga panels. |
 |
| Honourable mention to Ace Attorney animes but the award goes to Berserk 2016! *clap clap clap clap* |
| We all know the answer is Berserk 2016. That animation...woof! |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

| Arifureta is so butchered by the anime adaptation, especially the 1st two episodes, what even was that. At least Berserk 2016 had just visual problem, unlike Arifureta who has both plot and visual problems. |

| I think we can all agree that tpn s2 was the absolute worst adaption. I hope they realize their mistake. |
 People with boobs > people with no boobs. My lemons > ur lemons Please just send to profile ^^ |
| Big Order: The manga was just ok to begin with, but Assread managed to fuck it up by making it worse. Kamisama Dolls: Way too faithful to the manga. Tokyo Ghoul: Rushed the manga to oblivion. The Promised Neverland: S2 was so bad I dropped it after the 5th episode. S1 is great. Brynhildr in the Darkness: It was cringe. |
| Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot |
| Berserk, like the manga is so damm good but the anime does not live up to its expectations. |

| Well I would say a lot of what Madhouse makes on the sole fact that they never finish anything they do some big ones that deserved more are Claymore (manga is really good hopefully it gets a full adaptation), Black Lagoon and No Game No Life. Other obvious ones are Tokyo Ghoul and The Promised Neverland Season 2. Personal ones are Chivalry of a failed knight, the god of high school, the original stay night route (hopefully ufotable remakes it), Fruits Basket the final season has been a let down for me at least, Kengan Asura, one punch man second season, and Akame ga Kill. |
| Noblesse The OVA was brilliant, the Movie was okay, so how could they f**k up the anime so BAD. |
 |
| Berserk for how they slaughtered it. |

Bfolls said: Any time you need to condense a story that takes its reader about 80-100 hours to complete into a 52 episode show, there is a lot of crucial material that will end up being omitted thus ruining its presentation. Umineko would be one of those series that would be too boring and long-winded to watch if it was fully adapted. Just read the SN, people.Lucifrost said: @PixiePuffer What exactly do you mean when you say the Umineko anime feels like Higurashi? Because I think that may be a plus...

I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| Berserk (1997 was pretty chill but even that left off key characters and if you didn't read the manga then it's good but if you read it then it will feel weird, Golden age arc movies were good and showed most of the things it required, FUCK THE BERSERK 2016) Blame!!! (got one netflix movie which is ok but it not even come close to it's epicness) Seven Deadly Sins (After season 2) Tokyo Ghoul |
| 2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
