Bro are you those who been called the 'radical fans' around? Chill, is all I can give you. Saying "The anime ignored a bunch of rules and lore established in the manga" pretty much proves how much you see in anime & manga version.
1. Shikigamis don't come out of nowhere, they come out of the omnyouji in the anime. Example case Kinako from Benio's shikigami pendant & her power, which clearly explained how Kinako able to survive/go outside of ISLAND. Plus one problem from you which apply to all belows, you seem to set manga material as the base of everything. In the world of all onmyouji standard, shikigami follows the master. So other way around in manga the idea of 'Kinako and other shikigami can't exist/is intangible outside the island' sounds more ridiculous don't you think? But sadly that kind of rule did happen in the manga, manga is the weird one not anime. One more thing about your 'anime decided to ignore this god knows why', as I have already try to explain shikigami existance IN the anime so please to me MORE about things that ignores whatever you talking about.
2) All the 12 generals showed up slightly early(cameo-like) in the special chapter is baseless and doesn't mean anything. Considering their personality/skills/face time that anime has way upperhand, in this case anime is the base.(don't forget animes are not made in a day or 2, everything about the generals are discussed way early than you think). Trying to skip talking about Sae huh, I will let you go on this.
3) What are you saying this makes no sense? Everything about Rokuro makes no sense from the start. When Rokuro goes Seimei mode in the manga when it was released, every reader goes "wtf" out of nowhere and only makes more mystery. Luckily it temporary pin on Sousei's miko child with her aftermath words. Back to the anime, there are only a small few reason why seimei didn't come out at that fatal time. Either the production doing a 2nd season by hinting the island/seimei at the very end or there won't be 2nd season. Don't misunderstand me bro, I never said they will dump the Seimei info even within this remaining arc.
4) Anime is more rush? what have you been watching all this time. Important info, light amount and simple. characterization, story is adding few fillers for character building and some new character to smooth things up(like Haruka for Ryougo). Battles, of course they go by quickly when they are animed. Or else what you want the production to do? deal with a monster whole episode? or are you saying the fight between Rokuro and Yuuto only few mint? Saying fillers are irrelevant explain how good of an anime watcher you are, really. I bet you skip every Naruto filler(if you are watching) and think of it as irrelevant. Rom-com thing will be hold to later point.
5) Hahaha, and again go back to manga storyline? You need to stop using manga as base. This is a long version anime, you can't apply manga logic everyime when fillers/new characters are all over the place in anime. Its true that animes are base on novels and mangas, there are also rare cases. Plus what I'm promoting is, smooth transition where manga and anime will meet at later crossline. For you, assuming anime will continue the island arc(if there is one) straightly.
6) The moment you admit the Rom-com in point 4 in the anime, you are already shooting yourself the foot. Because you are hinting there are more romance related scene in the anime. How can i even fail to see the amount of romance in anime and manga, when I'm commenting anime has more romance than manga. YES there are "physical attraction, shared the same goals/dreams, shared their horrible experiences with each other and helped each other overcome those experiences in the manga". Romance in manga is short bro, only a few pages and short moment everytime. Things that happen also apply to anime as well, because their story are similar == or are you saying there is NO physical attraction, shared the same goals/dreams, shared their horrible experiences with each other and helped each other overcome those experiences in the manga? Oh man, the fillers and Sae existance not there for you at all, her effort in bringing Benio & Rokuro closer wasted. You need to re-read the manga again bro. Manga version is a full shounen, of course it doesn't reflect romance properly. Thats why romance in anime are more warm and sticky. One more big thing, I didn't imply there is no romance in manga.
Manga is definately rushed bro, your 'faster pace' pretty much means its rushed. Don't try to beautify your words. When a plot is in fast pace, its rushed. Long series tends to drag out(and low quality in the process), its a given just like Naruto. But those extra fillers are there to give more character building and fun. One thing to surprise you, I'm a manga/novel(original materials) fan, but I try to be neutral and don't look down on anime. Thats how I can watch series like Aikatsu, precure and other boring anime which MOST members don't watch.
Hope that you wont reply this, I forgot that writing like this really tired me out. Everyone taste is different in the end. |
