And your analogy is really odd I'd say -- it would make sense if you are comparing writing LN and reading LN, which is a more equivalent analogy for making sports vs seeing sports.

Lol, not the best analogy I must admit. I was trying to say that reading takes more effort than watching.
I don't think effort is the deciding factor. It is the dimension of experience - textual versus visual/audio - that is the key difference. Lol, not the best analogy I must admit. I was trying to say that reading takes more effort than watching.

Yeah, point taken. Though I'm speaking from more of a personal pov. Like generally even if I am interested in reading the LN, it's just much easier/more effortless to watch the anime.

Well anime is more often used as a gateway or solely used to promote LN to a new fan. I'm reading DxD and Zero no Tsukaima after watching anime for example. Thought anime and LN have different charm on it's own.

Why people prefer watching sports to playing sports? LN takes more brainpower just like playing sports takes more physical power.

LN >>> good / best
Manga adaptation >>> emm not good

monologue will be skipped too much, monologues in Yahari anime also being skipped but fortunately the monologues is not as much as mahouka.
Many LN fans think like you do, but on the other hand, anime/manga adaptation can help draw in new fans and make the fan community bigger. Also some LN fans like to see characters or scenes in the LN actually move and talk -- and this is what anime provides. The impact of the visual stimulation can be seen in the sharp rise of fan art once an LN becomes an anime, for example. And as people always say, things you find insufficient in anime, like monologues and detailed explanation of settings or thinking, one can always get by reading the LNs.meh i don't know why a lot of people want the anime adaptation.

I would say that nowadays anime is often a complementary experience for the LN. It is a given that anime will need to pare down the details and plot complexity to fit its length and makes it easier for watchers, many of them newcomers, to understand. In the past, adaptation could often become a free-hand reimagination by the anime staff which made the anime a very different thing from the original material; but nowadays I notice the anime staff often stresses how much they want to stay true to the original material, so as you said, the anime becomes an extension, or a replacement, of the LN experience. To me, one of the best examples is Bakemonogatari. And I am sure the very good sale of SAO BD/DVD has to do with people enjoying seeing and hearing the characters and scenes in the LN in full animation, despite the fact that it cut out a lot of things in the LN.
And anime also help LN to get full picture of what happen in LN.

Sales are still doing good after all these years.
If only it were enough to convince the committee that did the anime to do a second season along with an ova or two to re-do the first season's ending.

Oh, Durarara is still airing. To which point did anime get and did it have an anime original ending?
Jun 25, 2013 12:35 AM by M4XY
Some interesting entries here.
- Chihayafuru is still topping the charts. No surprise there.
- Aku no Hana is doing business, most likely because of the anime. Very nice.
- Shingeki no Kyojin is still dominating. Also, no surprise.
- Kodomo no Jikan. The last volume signals the end of the manga, so this was expected (somewhat).
- Sankarea. A welcome surprise. Still hoping they'll continue the anime at some time, as they didn't cover the best parts of the manga.
- OreImo. Not really all that surprising, though probably not less deserved.
