Is there an anime that surpasses the manga?

Is there an anime that surpasses the manga?


Only one I can think of is Vandread.

Sabagebu

Kaiji. Mostly for the OST and the narrator.

Non Non Biyori

Keion

Most Kyoani adaptations

Gintama

Fairy Tail
Naruto
Bleach

Most shounenshit written by hacks, actually

Bleach? Bruh, it had filler seasons!

So did fairy tail. The filler that the studios came up with is better than the manga, in both cases.

SnK

Strongly disagree. Stick to the plot or gtfo. Stop trying to fill in the blanks.

Only when I don't like the manga. Kekkai Sensen and Arpeggio were two for me.

true

Code Gayass

Ghost in the Shell

Actually, the Fairy Tail "filler" was just side stories from the volumes being adapted as full arcs.

>plot purist
>for the likes of naruto, bleach and fairy tail

Innocence and beyond, yes. The first book was a different animal than the movie. Good in their own respective ways. Innocence, like the movie, was stuck on hard core navelgazing and it was boring af.

K-on, Hidamari, Lucky Star

My point is exactly that. Bleach's plot was meandering enough without six seasons of filler garbage.

Came here to post Kekkai Sensen too.While the manga is overall alright, I think that the anime did a better job to convey the atmosphere of Hellsalem's Lot.

First post best post, as always.

Samurai Champloo

The manga is complete ass and has none of the good elements from the show.

Agree. The show had a certain frenetic energy that the manga lacked.

I can think of Usagi Drop and Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, but they're only better because they don't adapt the garbage parts.

Also these

keion

K-On
FMA Brotherhood.
Demi-chan.
Arguably Shingeki no Kyojin.

GitS SAC

Shingeki no Kyojin

Koe no Katachi

Usagi Drop skipping the real story and trying to pass it off as some slice of life thing pissed me off

Haganai
LN>Anime>Manga

>implying you can surpass shit

Initial D

Black Lagoon

Well the real story is complete utter shit, so yeah
