| Most authors are happy just getting any kind of anime adaption, not matter how mediocre it is. Unfortunately, this has to be among the worst adaptions of all time. Starting from season 1 where they replaced Kei with Suzune in many scenes, solely because the producer felt like she would be more popular. Also making significant changes to Ayanokojis personality to make him seem edgy and inhumane, when in reality his intention from day 1 was to be like Hirata. As a side note, this topic will explored extensively in season 2 of Oshi No Ko. |

Aditya_Ranjan said: Has the author or anyone from the production ever commented how terrible the adaptation is ?? They made 3 seasons , they would definitely know public review right? Apothecary Diaries airing right now adapted 2 volumes of light novel in 24 epsiodes. Similar for 86. Classroom of Elite adapts 1 volume in 3-4 episodes. WHY?? They haven't commented about the lack of quality, but indeed, the story gets too rushed and some great aspect of the light novel aren't shown in the anime adaptation. |

Aditya_Ranjan said: They are [...] skipping important conversations of other characters that greatly show character dynamics/development That's the case for all adaptions of Novels, tho. It's hard to transform a scene from a Novel to a media relaying on visuals, especially for scenes heavy on dialogues and descriptions. That's one of the major reasons as to why 90% of Animes and Mangas adapted from Novels straight up sucks, adaptation-wise. The director has to makes choices in what to keep, and what to delete... and if he makes wrong choices, everything can crumble. The same can be said about Live-Action Movies, by the way. I didn't read the Light Novel of COTE yet, but of what i've read from other users, the amount of content skipped still seems right. It's far from the disaster everyone puts it out to be, and it flows nicely as Anime-only. If you want to see a true disaster of cut-content, the Donghua of the Chinese Novel Quan Zhi Gao Shou literally cuts more than half of the books. (And even then, the story flow very nicely.) |

Yeah I agree. They did make some mistakes in s1 but I would say s2 and s3 were alright. People make it out to be a terrible adaptation and all but I'm just glad they're making an adaptation for it as it's a good story overall. I'd even say some of the episodes in between s2 and some in s3 were adapted stuff quite nicely from what I saw on reviews of those episodes on youtube (haven't read the ln so). Imo this anime considering its nature and the setting has to remain somewhat fast paced. If they start showing all the inner monologue and stuff like then, a lot of people I'd reckon wouldn't enjoy it that much. |

I’ve read the manga and light novel, and of course I’m watching the anime, which is among my top 3 anime of all time. They don’t adapt everything but what they do adapt is phenomenal to say the least. Thank you , it’s always nice to hear when written material readers approve of an anime. |
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.  |

Loayza said: It depends on the type of story. As he said Apothecary Diaries does 2 volumes in 24 episodes and Eighty-six 3 in 23 episodes and neither feels slow. They both are considered to be moderately slow-paced, tho. It play a huge role in the ambiance and mystery/suspense element of The Apothecary Diaries, so it's a good thing, in my opinion. 86 had those slow and long dialogues of exposition, which were criticized, tho. Loayza said: For example that's the pace of the first season of Mushoku Tensei which is an excellent adaptation but still leaves a lot of story and worldbuilding out and the second season keeps the same pace but is a bad adaptation as it fails to depict the thoughts and emotions of its characters, something that is even worse in the COTE adaptation. I didn't watched the Animes of Mushoku Tensei, so i can't really talk about it. As for COTE, all characters have clear motivations, with apparent thoughts and emotions. Their psyche is obviously not as developed as i guess it is in the Novels, but it's more than enough to follow the overall story on a surface-level; there is no real need to go in-depth. Sure, everything would be better if they did, but the adaptations of COTE are not meant to be like that, and looking at how the Anime is doing good enough to warrant them risking money on Sequels, it seems to please both the producers and the (Japanese) fans. If you want the in-depth story... well, you have the Novels, after all. Edit : In the end, near all Japanese adaptations are bonuses to the source material, they are not made to replace it, but to accompany it. That's why they are said to be "giant ads". |
