You're literally not saying anything in your comment here. All you're doing is reinforcing the points I've already made. And at that point, the conversation goes nowhere.
Honestly, it's pretty simple, don't overthink it. Critique all works individually. The only time you should reference outside material is to compare and contrast the application.
And if you're incapable of doing that, well, that's why I write the reviews that are capable of doing that. There are always variables to any individual case, but the bases of taking a show's merits and detriments into consideration don't change.
Well, that's what separates you from me. If you can't separate the two, you can't properly critique either, which is the sad but ugly truth of the matter.
The mangaka will be criticized if we were critiquing the manga.... but we're not. The creators of the adaptation have the executive decision to alter whatever they see fit to make the most viable product possible. That's how we get screenplays. That's why you see writer credits other than the original creator because it's those people's responsibility to bring the content to the screen.
Gankutsuou, an anime in my favorites, was adapted from the Count of Monte Cristo but instead of trying to cram 500 pages of dense content into a 20-something episode anime, the creators took huge creative liberties and created something that's only loosely based on the book. And guess it? It was the best idea they could have done because the anime was fantastic.
Anyone gave the creative license to tell a story, whether it be original content or adapted should be held accountable for their end product and NOT someone outside of that.
Could you imagine if a thief already in jail serving time gets an extra 10-years added to his sentences because another unrelated thief used the story of his ideas to commit a separate robbery? No, that would be dumb. In the same way, why should a mangaka be charged with the crime of people that just took their book and did something with it?
I hope this helps.
Here's my thing, something staying "true the original" doesn't matter if the original has the same highlights and flaws. When people think something being adapted verbatim makes it flawless, it doesn't. I just meant the adaptation follows its source and nothing more. If a manga was terribly written and the anime adaptation followed it verbatim, does that mean the anime is "good" because it followed a shitty source faithfully? In the same sense, if a terribly written manga gets an adaptation that fixes those issues making it a well-written anime, do you then proceed to say the anime is "bad" because it wasn't faithful to the source?
The point being is that regardless of if there's a source or not, AoT's anime should not be judged on the merits of outside material, it should be judged for what it has to offer.
So as an anime, AOT is fun, messy but fun.
Сори, просто го видях във фаворитите ти и не можах да се сдържа.
- Лего с нов профил.
O, but I really do prefer shonen.
For Sakamichi no Apollon - I didn't quite like the ending in the anime. Hope the manga has a different development :)
