| CLannad after story - You can't butcher much more than adding a 2nd part that never existed :P (it was still AWESOME though) |

| Tsukihime! wait a minute... A tsukihime anime doesn't exist. GantZ, ruined the manga with it's fugly animation, storyline, and voice acting. |
 |
| Fullmetal Alchemist. I actually quite liked the first series although it went off on a series of huge tangents quite quickly and the ending is completely different, which is fair enough seeing as the manga wasn't actually finished. Still though not a fan of the ending but I do love the first series' Wrath, he was an awesome character. |
pralan said: Umineko and Tsukihime at the point that none of them exist Don't forget Chaos;Head, Fate Stay Night and 11 Eyes. But yeah, Umineko is probably the most terrible adaptation ever (and even so, I forced myself to like it, because the VN is just way too perfect) ;__; |

| Welcome to the NHK. The characters are almost completely rewritten, the story is missing about 75% of itself and what it retained was rewritten to lose it's entire point, and the ending was completely made up as well as RUINED THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE STORY. You can like it if you want - however it is VERY MUCH a situation where they butchered the source material. I see a lot of people in the thread just listing things they felt were 'ruined' by the adaptation overall - or were shitty shows and thus bad adaptations. The question the OP asked is about how well the series kept to the source material, not how good or bad of an anime it was in general. In the case of my post, you may have loved NHK, however it is factually a massive butchering of the source material and everything in it. |

| i'd have to go with toriko.....i mean i could tolerate when they were watering shit down (considering i started watching the anime then the manga later),but when it reached what was supposed to pretty much be the best arc it was an abomination,shaky budget crappy music sync not to mention they completely changed alot of shit.it's an adaptation that's half assed at best |
 |
| Little Busters. haven't read the VN though. only heard that the VN is supposed to be great. well. the anime was pathetic |

hybreezy said: I disagree big time, the story in those games are more well written than given credit for how every character's storyline interconnects and events tie in together so well especially with the pay off in chronophantasma which if it were an anime here id be giving it a very high 9/10. its storlyine is great and its got a likable and unique cast of characters and while not all of them are as developed as carl jin, noel or tsubaki there isnt a character that isnt enjoyable to watch even the villains who you love to hate, the world it sets up shares both interesting imagery as well as a interesting backstory, and even if the slow start due to the confusing first game bringing more questions than answers the games that came after that and their ability to juggle so many plot points without neglecting any of them is really something to appreciate as there was clearly a shit ton of work put into making the story progressthe BlazBlue games have a terrible story anyway, nothing of value was lost |

| +1 for Rosario + Vampire Sub-par visual novel adaptations like Da Capo. Also, filler arcs in any shonen fighting series. Except the driving filler from Dragon Ball Z, that was pure comedic gold. |

In the case of my post, you may have loved NHK, however it is factually a massive butchering of the source material and everything in it. The op specified the guidelines of what he's asking about are the worst in terms of adapting the source material specifically. You can disagree, I do as well - there are lots of adaptations that are great on their own, and some even better than their source, not being loyal to the original material doesn't make something bad. However, he's clearly asking very specifically about it in relation to how bad a series was at maintaining it's faithfulness to the original material, not the quality of the show on its own. So while disagreeing, it's not relevant to the thread, and answering it incorrectly is still both incorrect and off topic. Disagreeing with his guidelines for the thread means you shouldn't post in it if you can't just answer what he is specifically asking, not post in it anyway with your own idea of what the thread 'should' have been about or included. |

A good anime that happens to be an adaptation is a good adaptation, and a bad anime that happens to be an adaptation is a bad adaptation. They are one in the same. ^ Just like Chuunibyo season 1, it deviated from the source material but was a great watch. The worst adaptation in my mind is Hidan no Aria. They can't even follow simple stuff like a car chase sequence and changed it around for "easy animation". |

| My vote is for the 4 part Corpse Party OVA. I had played the game and we watched in anime club and my friends were like WTF?! just happened because they basically just skip over a huge chuck of the story. Like, the characters are all like, we need to find these items to stop this curse. Then in the next scene they just have them. Also, does shitty things to the ending of story, that I wasn't to happy with. As for the Hellsing TV series, I think it is great until they run out of source material. Like half way through the show they run out of manga and so make stuff up. What they make up is really kind of terrible. But up until that point I think in a lot of ways it adapted the manga better than Hellsing Ultimate. |

I'm actually disapointed in it being locked, as it wasn't a simple listing, peoples were discussing and it was interesting and informative ImO. Well what's done is done. That thread is necroed though, and doesn't seem half as interesting as was the new one. |
