Let's adapt Berserk but take out entire Eclipse story arc.

BRILLIANT IDEA.

Because that dull side story about 3 girls being raped by dogs and tortured was TOTALLY relevant to the story, like Eclipse arc, and...wait, it wasn't. At all.

I see no reason to discuss adaptation intricacies with akg haters.

It helps to establish the tone

.

The adaptation has been a horrible mess since Episode One and that's why anime failed.

If it was a faithful adaptation it would have sold way more.

Pure exaggeration.

And how dare they toned it down by omitting little girls who were raped by dogs and pregnant women who were eaten. Completely ruined characterization, duh.

AGK deserves that sales considering what they did to the anime.

Yes, of course they deserve that. How could they transform a shit manga into a decently good anime?

Nov 26, 2014 12:31 PM by Arcanix

Those Love Live! sales. The producers must be happy right now.

AGK deserves that sales considering what they did to the anime.

The span between the anime, movie and the blu ray release probably killled alot of potential buyers :(

It was NEVER faithful to manga.

It was skipping stuff like character growth and story information ever since the first episode, not to mention generic-ized art style and toned down, well, everything.

Pure exaggeration.

Akame ga Kill didn't sell well because it's really a generic fighting shounen series using edgy to disguise it as something deeper than it is. It's extremely rare for generic fighting shounen series to move BD/DVDs unless it has the support of the Fujoshis like Ao no Exorcist and Magi had. I bet Nanatsu no Taizai is going to sell significantly less than Akame ga Kill, even though it's already a massive success looking at the manga copies it had moved.

Lol, implying generic fighting shounens don't sell in Japan, also implying that AgK is a generic fighting shounen. Facepalm*

No point arguing whether AgK is good anime because all these are subjective. What makes a good anime are different from each individual unless you are one of those self proclaim elitist and think everyone need to have same taste as you. SAO and Gundam Seed are selling like hot cake and better than most anime but most people in MAL wouldn't call both of those anime masterpiece. Shinsekai Yori anime sales is crap but people still consider it a great anime here in MAL. From sales perspective, things like publicity does help your sales which AgK didn't get much,thus lack of viewership and sales.

^ Exactly this

If only the Shingeki no Bahamut OP were released... We'd see that up at number one.

#1 for CD Singles this week sold 336,101. No chance of that happening overall, so I guess you must mean amongst anison...

Disgusting. It should have sold so much more. I'm hoping the recent massive spike in popularity will help it sell more.

Stop deluding yourself. This show had a decent run for like 19 episodes (even according to the majority of mangareaders) and volume 1 had still shit sales.

Injustice is way too gentle of a word for what they did.

This is more on the level of what Studio DEEN did with 2006 FSN or what BEETRAIN did with Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle adaptation.

Oh god Tsubasa Chronicles those terrible fillers and I heard they left out some arcs as well. It was alright until they skipped the Tokyo arc for shitty filler. Thankfully Production I.G handled it and it was glorious.

Yeah TRC skipped important story arcs, completely changed and generic-ized characterization of ALL the characters, toned down the violence in every single arc and basically decided to turn what is quite dark shonen action show into a fluffy shoujo rehash of CCS.

AKG does the similar thing. Changed character designs(for the worse), cut out character development and growth moments(gotta add anime original fanservice after all), cut out story information(like the fact that timeskips happened, etc) and past EP10 or so they outright combined two separate story arcs into one and skipped shitload of content, shitting on every single character in show.

Manga is no masterpiece by all means but it was hell of a way better than that.
