| I loved season 1 of the anime. but season 2... not so much. why you ask? The plans went from hard to believe, to comically stupid. and half of them relied on basically super human abilities to work. half the mini arcs and side characters felt like a waste of time, but sherlock and Moriarty felt underdeveloped for the finale. so it too much spend time on things that did not matter, while forgetting to spend time on things that do matter. and on top of that, even the useless arcs felt rushed. and to top all of this off, the final plan was probably the dumbest one that worked purely because the author wanted it to work, and even the point of it, that was barely made to begin with, was ruined by moriarty and sherlock somehow both surviving. but again.... I did REALLY like season 1. season 2 had that one backstory episode with the court that I also really liked. so based on all this, should I read the manga? |

| Well, I completely agree with your thoughts on the reveal of the secondary characters. It was not only uninteresting, but also rather useless, as if they were not part of the main plot, but some filler inserts. The same "James Bond" was given a fair amount of screen time, but was deliberately forgotten about after the reveal. The development of the relationship between Moriarty and Sherlock seemed succinctly finalized to me, but still really unrevealed. There were a few more moments missing when they confront each other, "unaware" of their true intentions. I like this duo :) The sequel, by the way, which continues in the manga, also seems pointless to me, it spoils the final arc of the anime adaptation. |

The manga isn’t a sequel it’s a continuation of part 1. The anime changed the final arc so that they could quickly wrap it up and make it not conclusive. It’s impossible for the manga to spoil the anime when it is the source material lol You're right, the manga can't ruin the anime, but it can ruin the positive emotions after watching the anime, which is what happened in my example. |

Schalonym said: I wouldn't mind the side stories and extra characters so much, if they actually added something to the overall plot.The anime skipped like half of the chapters and rushed or changed the other half. If you don't like the rushed feeling of the anime, then the manga is very much superior. If you want more Sherlock and Moriarty, you will find lots of unadapted scenes of them in the manga. If you don't want the backstories and arcs of the side cast, in the manga there will only be more of that. (There are even some characters in the manga, who were cut out from the anime completely) The unrealistic scenes are pretty much the same in anime and manga. The ending of season 2 is kind of anime only, because the manga continues differently. Sherlock and William still both survive, but it isn't some miracle survival and they suffer from its consequences: <!spoiler they were rescued and provided medical care by Americans, but William was in a coma for months and is disabled now spoiler!> The manga continues after the final problem arc with how the people around Sherlock and William have changed after that incident and what happened to Sherlock and William after their "deaths". There even is supposed to be a part 2 of the manga in the future, but nobody knows what it will be about. That's all the answers I can give you. You have to decide, whether to read or not, on your own. but it felt like the story could have functioned perfectly without them. is the manga like that too? |
