| Sometimes a manga just translates poorly into an anime. Just wondering what Manga you thought should have just stayed manga instead of becoming a lesser version of itself in anime. My only manga I have read so far that is like this is Yakitate Japan. None of the excitement or fun seems to translate for me while watching this. It just seems they made it far too goofy. Yes I was expecting goofy, but it just almost cheesy in a sense to me. And not in a good Bo-bobo way. If that makes any sense. List em people!:p |

| There's a bunch. Tenjō Tenge, D.N. Angel, Tokyo Babylon. However, the grand prize goes to I"s. What an utter waste. |

Tsubasa Chronicles, definetely. My favourite manga became a terrible, terrible, terrible anime. Let's hope Tokyo Revelations is good.... Most of CLAMP's greatest mangas have terrible anime adaptations. So I'll add RG Veda, Tokyo Babylon, xxxholic and X to that. And Naruto is a good manga to read but it's a torture to watch the anime. so..sloooowwwww.... |
 |
| Samurai Girl Real Bout High School. ._. While the manga is not anything amazing, at least it was entertaining. The anime has a completely different -- and terrible -- plot. It was just painful to watch. And Tsubasa Chronicle definitely lost its magic when it became an anime. D: Anime!RG Veda sucked too. XD |
     |
| Full Metal Alchemist. They changed it to much. Some of the Changes just didn't make any sense And the ending was terrible. |
| Be sure to note, that some of the anime started production BEFORE the manga was ever finished. For example, the first Hellsing was started before the manga was done, and look how it pales in comparison to the manga/Hellsing OVA. |
| Battle Angel Allita. I watched the first 15 mins of the anime and couldn't stand it. Battle Angel Allita's is one of my favorite mangas and I think the anime was just bad. |
 Going to eat your brains and gain your knowledge. |
| Tenjo Tenge **barf** |
| Black cat |
     |
| Naruto. All those fillers, ugh. |
 |
| D. GRAY-MAN. T___T |
| Gantz |
 |
| tsubasa chronicles. |

| you know i have thought about this before, i always thought when i read Chobits that i enjoyed it so much as a manga that i didnt gain much joy from the anime. But then again maybe those who havent read the manga would enjoy just seeing the anime, i often think that with a view, i guess thats true with alot of things in the world like novels, you get such beautiful attention to detail in manga and novels that sometimes when u see them on the screen they seem empty. |
  |
| D.Gray-man; dear lord where did the plot go...? And Death Note was an awsome anime. |
CriMsoNGenoCidE said: And Death Note was an awsome anime. QFT. the anime > the manga, especially in the second half. Hmm... let's see, the Hellsing anime was terrible compared to what I've read of the manga. The OVA is at least as good as the manga, though. Trigun's manga is much better than the anime, although I liked the anime, too. Same goes for Berserk. |
| well i dont really mind sometimes when the anime strays from the manga. as long as its entertaining... but... some animes are just unbearable when they're based on great manga accela said: Tsubasa Chronicles Dear lord. oh, and holic... and chobits. and nana. i couldnt stand any of those after the first episode. i actually havent read x yet so i love the anime, but after reading a few random volumes i think i would appreciate the manga so much more. naruto. fillers = death Rave. the manga was so good... the anime was just so corny and bad.... in both english and japanese. love hina: TERRIBLE anime for such a GOOD manga D= |
| Air Gear. It's such an awesome series, but the Anime is just.. well... nothing good at all. It really ruins the series. The manga is so detailed and contains such a great plot. The anime stops because the story is getting interesting. v__v |
| Claymore. The anime was great at the start, when it followed the manga. When it went all it's own way however, it turned bad. Quite bad. |
| Narutaru. I'm glad they did right with bokurano... |

Holy crap! This was the FIRST thing that came to mind when I saw this thread. Who would've thought anyone else had actually read this manga? Anyway, yeah. The manga had a great plot that was unnecessarily screwed up because the anime had to fit in 26 episodes. Say what you want about long-running series, but at least they get a chance to get their plots animated. This thread applies to any manga with an anime that got cut short. A few more manga come to mind in this case, but the only other one that deserves to also be mentioned (and probably won't come up in someone else's post) is Video Girl Ai. Damn that one pisses me off. First romance series I like and the anime is just a lame six episode OVA. Uncool. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| Hm. Video Girl Ai had a live-action version? *looks this up* Gah. A movie. Disgusting. Even a 26 episode anime would be better... |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| Ugh, Tsubasa. Seriously, the anime was terrible with poor pacing and mediocre animation and fillers. The OAD, however, was amazing. Also Full Moon o Sagashite and D.Gray-man for the same reasons. |

AdrNam said: I think the chobits manga is amazing... and i couldn't even sit through the first episode of the anime... so yeah, i think its MUCH better. (same with tsubasa. anime = disgrace to the manga) though ive already mentioned that before.And I've heard Chobits' manga is a hell of a lot better than the animé, though never having read the manga I couldn't say, but I do like the animé. Not one of my favourites though. oh, and i agree about RAVE. it was a terrible anime D= |

| Haven't read much manga, but imo, Love Hina should just stay as a manga. Can't say taht I liked the anime. It was so...I don't know how I can say it, but I just didn't like it. >.<. |
 |
| i dont mind anime based on manga...but for some reason i find some of the adaptations terrible.... like in chobits, the opening theme makes my ears bleed and i really couldnt stand listening to chii's voice for more than 10 minutes.... XD i dunno, the anime really just threw me off. |
| Negima Three attempts already, and they STILL haven't gotten it right >< |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| I normally don't mind anime based on manga, like with Naruto. Sure I knew what was going to happen in every arc, but it was great to have a voice to the characters and to see them move on screen. However there are some manga that should stay manga, Fullmetal Alchemist was one. Don't get me wrong, the series is great, it's funny and dramatic and deep and has a great ending. But once I picked up the manga and started reading it, the show just lost all it's power. The manga was ten times better, different story and it just flowed WAY better. In the anime a lot of the things felt like they didn't fit together, but I don't have that problem with the manga. So I wish FMA had just stayed a manga, or the anime had been accurate to the manga (I know not possible just a dream, don't yell at me) |
I hate World of Warcraft      |
gigimxul said: the_seventh_l said: I also have to agree about Chobits. I couldn't watch even five minutes of the first episode: I was like "WHAT. FARM? I DON'T GET IT. NOT IN MANGA" and turned it off. XD If you expect anime adaptations to be 100% similar to manga, you probably shouldn't watch any anime based on a manga. I don't know...contrary to what most people here say, I think most shonen series get decent adaptations. ....Aside from that though, yeah...shows usually get screwed, which is a bit ridiculous IMO. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| Tactics and E's. Pretty good mangas turned into terrible animes. Tactics added a random and completely useless character (Suzu) and then manipulated the plot something awful to fit her in everywhere. E's... well, besides the fact that at least half of the (short) series was ridiculous filler, they dumbed down the storyline - took out all the blood, deaths, underground ring of psychic children fighting each other... I could go on and on. Really terrible. |
 |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo. I read the manga after I watched the anime and I still thought the manga was better. |
Aikoh said: Samurai Deeper Kyo. I read the manga after I watched the anime and I still thought the manga was better. Couldn't agree more... And I would like to add DN Angel to my list... The anime was alright but it was way too short (26 ep) to fit all that was revealed in the manga. If the anime was made into a 48 or 52 ep show it would have been a lot better cause they'd have more room.... The anime had a lot of gaps in the character development due to the large story in such a short show. Which is too bad cause the manga is awesome! |
