Why is ufotable lazy?

bait thread i presume

Now that I'm seeing a lot more things about demon slayer, I understand that ufotable could have added a lot of things in the anime, for example some demon backstories, like Enmu's or Gyokko's, even Daki's (remember we saw only Gyutaro's point of view, but we have never seen Daki's point of view), there are also some spin off works also dedicated to hashira Rengoku, Tomioka and Sanemi, which I bet will never be animated, it hurts me to see that Ufotable is satisfied only with copying the manga 1:1, instead of improving the work with additional information or correcting some points of the story (the only thing that has improved in the manga are the drawings, due to ufotable's animations), this laziness of ufotable honestly makes me turn up my nose, since demon slayer is their flagship anime, and what do you think?

Is this how it should work ? Copying 1:1 the original story which is rubbish on all fronts? Then don't complain if people say demon slayer sucks, because he's just right

Toattster said:
i wouldn't consider being accurate to the manga lazy. if anything, they're anything BUT lazy, the animation is top tier and the breaks between seasons are admirable, sometimes people wait like 7 years just for a second season..

Mienus said:

I know this might be hard for you to comprehend, but a lot of people really like and respect the Demon Slayer manga. But the "quality" of any of these stories is completely irrelevant to my point. A lot of people just fundamentally just misunderstand what being an adaptation entails.

ZXEAN said:
Demon Slayer doesn't deserve an anime adaptation by Ufotable. Studio JC Staff whould have been perfer for this task. 

Rinrinka said:
Oh dear even being faithful to the source can still get some people whining, there's no winning for these studios.

No wonder anime studios/authors don't give a damn about people overseas.

zombie_pegasus said:
If they added in their own stuff I think more people would complain. People generally don't like anime original content, they see it as filler. Adapting related manga is another story, but that doesn't need to be done in the main series itself, I think that would make more sense to do as OVAs that more dedicated fans can watch in their own time than to just have it as part of the main TV series.

Honestly dude that’s your fault, anyone who doesn’t know by now that ufotable is practically an animation only company is clearly uninformed. They don’t do story well and they never will. Be glad we have what we have

samthestan said:
Lazy??? You need glasses. if you want extra content, go read doujins and fanfics

Leon888 said:
You're incoherent then, you tell me that the fact that they complain about demon slayer is just my opinion, and then you say that people always invent reasons to complain about demon slayer. it's already funny like this 😂

Leon888 said:
I totally agree with you, if Ufotable abandons this project and concentrates on something else, we will all be happier

Rnonsenseguy said:
Look at you whining your ass off in a anime forum about animators being lazy even though they probaly haven't get 8 hours of sleep rn while you laying on your bed watching anime

If you think they're lazy why not you start producing your own anime and realize that demon slayer is already peak animation(considering this is just 1 year work)

Alexioos95 said:


There is always idiots to cry no matter what happen.
If you look , you'll see that most peoples complaning in this thread are quite new fans of Animes , and i reckon they truly are 16- year old kids.

Muuuugi said:

Nah criticizing that nonsense with mugen train is valid, thanks for reminding me of that tomfoolery

shash_sama18 said:

Hey Einstein, is it you? Why are you reincarnated once again on this planet?

Physicists need you more than the animators do rn, don't waste your time on "low intelligent" like us XD

Like seriously, many animes don't even get 1:1 adaptation either in few cases and here you want to keep your standards on the Mt. Everest level despite knowing the fact that there are 0.0001% anime series getting that kind of treatment
Nothing against your ideology but Keeping your standards unrealistically high doesn't makes you intellectual, it just makes you odd one out

shash_sama18 said:

Well here the OP (creater of forum) lives in a parallel universe having set his unrealistically high expectations to find an invalid reason to say something against 1:1 manga adaptation part

YagamiLight_1212 said:


Holy hell. They are in no way even remotely lazy. You can be upset that they aren’t doing everything you want but that doesn’t mean they’re lazy. Unless you are writing/making something then nothing is going to most likely be 100% how you want it. From anything as big as story/plot to something as simple as character design or dialogue/interaction

grape7676 said:
im flabbergasted at how unbelievably stupid you are

Leon888 said:
but i wasn't talking about the mugen train, i was talking about the other movie they had shown at the cinema about demon slayer

jeffery_dahmer said:
bro just how much backstories do u want lmao? literally all backstories in ds are cringe af. adding more of them would render the shit unwatchable.

Rusted_metal said:
If you hate demon slayer, say it straight to the face. Don't beat around the bush. Stop complaining ufotable as lazy. If you think demon slayer's source material is trash, why you even read/watch it. Go animate the Infinity Castle arc yourself. 

Illyricus said:
I understand the Gyokko fight was disappointing, but man it still looked better than most of the anime currently airing. No need to be so ungrateful, it's not like you got an Orient tier adaptation.

Nina7199 said:
Sorry but reading this I think this thread exists so the writer can hate on demon slayer rather than point to an actual problem with the animation lol
Plz be honest with yourself and if you think you don't like an anime just drop it instead of accusing anime staff of being incompetent. There's also plenty of people who think the story is alright. And there are plenty of other animes that you might actually enjoy

StaleNut said:
Animation studios literally can't win with ya'll braindead fans I swear. Whenever they change or add stuff from the source material, they receive backlash, and whenever they adapt the manga 1:1, they still receive backlash. This community is honestly pathetic.

Kymazaki said:
rubbish to you clearly but not rubbish to ALOT of other people who dont give a shit if they dont get "extra" content that was never originally written in the story. Sorry to burst your bubble but not everyone cries about not seeing a demons backstory or another persons pov, I'm not sure if you understand how any part of an adaptation works but it 99.99% of the time does NOT entail adding or changing the STORY from which the source material is pulled (not including things like fights although they have to have the outcome that was originally written). At that point they might as well as just steal the whole story and rewrite everything to suit your "high standards"

TeslaEnjoyer said:
the animators are probably dying cut them some slack

FZREMAKE said:
I don't know what's so funny about that. Like literally what you said didn't make much sense.
This is what I am talking about. Wdym *We all*? Stop being so spoiled about this.

But yeah my bad , i thought there was more peoples in the thread , but it's just you spamming with more than 50% of total replies in the whole thread...



They are kids , and kids like to whine.
If they don't , then i have nothing against them.

No idea what's your age , but your take is literally "They are adapting it faithfully , so it's bad !" , which is painfully stupid.
If it was a literal 1-to-1 shot from Manga to Anime , i could understand , but they are putting a lot of effort into translating everything smoothly , and yet you are still crying...

It definitely feels like you never watched an actual bad (or even average/lazy) adaptation.

A lot of anime fans are trying their best to preserve the negative stereotype about a common anime enjoyer, unfortunately. If the studio addd extra stuff, it's bad; if it doesn't add anything more thsn offered by the manga, then it's even worse. It can't be helped.

Look at how some people formed a vocal minority and spammed about Gyokko's fish and its CGI. Minor element that had looked goofy in the show, an insignificant sequence, was overexaggerated by said people into something huge, as if Gyokko's fish represented pretty much the quality of this season's animation in general, lol.

Leon888 said:
the cgi fish sucked, you can't deny it, from ufotable you don't expect these things

Leon888 said:
but if they are so lazy that when they released the film with the 10-11 ep and the 1 episode of the 3 season in the cinema, they didn't even bother to assemble it as a single film, so much so that you had to review the end credits to 3 times while watching. incredible shocked you the news that I spent money to go see demon slayer at the cinema? but of course people talk without knowing, like you do 😉

Leon888 said:
And since when does expecting quality mean being spoiled? Or you, are you satisfied with mediocrity in shows?

also as soon as i touched demon slayer y'all started crying so you should you think about who are the real babies here 👌

FZREMAKE said:
Damn you sound greedy af. Since when did being accurate to the manga became a problem? 

kyo_1 said:

i might be wrong, but i swear i’ve been told the last episode is 2 eps worth of content. If i’m wrong then mb 🤣

djg2345312 said:
finally someone said it! we should be way past fully adapting anime at this point!!!! studios need to go above and beyond and add the stuff fans want to see!!!!!!! because every fan will be super happy to see all kinds of original content being shoved into the anime!!!1!!!a!!

/s

Just be happy with what you have, animators practically suffered to give us what we have so shut up
