| When we say there are a lot of skipped content, we mean there are A LOT of skipped content. Sorry, but I don't have time to list all of them in detail |

| Sometimes, i wonder if they really skipped that much, or if it's simply the first time the users actually did read a Novel... There is literally always a lot of content skipped, especially dialogues and explanations, due to the difference in medium. 4 Episodes per Volumes is already great, and it's more than the 3 Episodes norm too... I guess i'll have to read it someday, just to see if all that whining really is worth it. |

Aditya_Ranjan said: Anime as overall is 7/10 adaptation but compared to LN its 10x worse. [...] They skipped some parts which were important in future arcs too....like necessary for smooth character development. Yeah, but that's the case for literally every single adaptation of (Regular/Light/Visual) Novel, absolutely nothing new... Due to being a book of plain text, Novels are prone to lenghty description and explanation of things, including discussion between characters. Animes and Mangas are visual mediums, so they have to transform, and even skip, such parts. The discussions are also necessarily shortened, to keep a good in-episode pacing. Why do you think only very few Animes adapted from Novels are actually well liked ? |

Aditya_Ranjan said: Isnt Bunny Girl Senpai, Overlord also LN and they are great. NGNL didnt get another season but Season 1 adapted almost perfectly. Konosuba too has a great LN adaptation. Shadow in Eminence has both LN and Manga ...and I think anime adapted manga but both are equally good.... All of the ones you mentionned cuts out a lot of details, including dialogues between characters. The 3 Movies of Bunny Girl Senpai cuts out a lot of character developments. Overlord removed many subplots about characters, and is considered to be quite an average adaptation past Season 1. No Game No Life skipped many little scenes and dialogues, mainly about world building. I also heard KonoSuba skipped a few small Arcs, developing characters, and that Kage no Jitsuryokusha removed many details, on top of changing a little bit the overall tone, but as i never was interested in them, i'm not really aware about how much. So yeah, as i said, absolutely all adaptations of Novels have to sacrifice things, nothing new. Aditya_Ranjan said: They literally switched characters in Season 1 , Kei was supposed to have a major role in Season 1 itself instead of Horikita. That's another thing, tho. They did not skipped the scenes, they altered the characters in them. That's already more rare, and damageable to the adaptation, but it makes no real difference in the story, just in the characters' relationship, which up to now, had no real importance in the overall story. Aditya_Ranjan said: The story could have been more fleshed out if they gave like 18 episodes per season or 12 episodes with better direction. Again, that's the case for absolutely all Novels. The standard is around 3 Episodes per Volume... but you can easily do 6+ Episodes with a Novel of around 200 pages. The problem will be to keep a good pacing, which is hard, especially with ~20 minute weekly episodes. I know of Ookami to Koushinryou, which adapted 4 Volumes in 6 Episodes each, and even them skipped a shit load of interesting details. So yeah, for now, it seems to be a very casual case. Edit : If you want to see a real wreckage of character development and world building, try out to watch and then read Quan Zhi Gao Shou (it's a Donghua, a Chinese Anime). They literally skips all the details, to adapt only the main plotline, straight up skipping 50% of the overall books. |

Jaredw1227 said: The story told in the anime is in no way incomplete or not enjoyable if you don’t read the novel BUT there is a boatload of content that is skipped over, mainly just very in depth explanations and inner thoughts of the characters that explains their actions. To put it simply it doesn’t take away from the anime having read the novels it just explains some of their actions and personalities better. Thank you for explaining this. It helps a lot. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| A lot. The anime feels like recap of the LN. It's watchable on it own, but not the best adaptation out there. |
