Are there any anime adaptations which are actually superior to the manga that they're based on?

Are there any anime adaptations which are actually superior to the manga that they're based on?

boku no pico

Maison Ikkoku, because the art was so bad in the beginning, and it’s practically the same story and pacing.

A lot of 4-koma. K-On! for example.

Yamada and the 7 Witches, but only because they didn't adapt the shitty later arcs

Nichijou. All the jokes are there in the original, but they work a lot better in motion.

Soul Eater

>spoonfeeding a rec thread
What happened to this board?

Shingeki no Kyojin, if only because the art is less shit.

gembutts

It's been a while since I watched it, but didn't the anime change quite a few things from the manga?

I seem to remember that getting quite a few people riled up.

Gintama

Unpopular opinion but Watamote felt much more cringey when animated and the voice acting was top notch disgusting. Manga is much more clean and a good 2-3 volumes after becomes very lighthearted.

2nd this. Hell knowing how shit the manga run is right now, I don't even read it and just wait for comedy eps to come out.

I remember Tomoko's voice actress annoying me at first, but after the first couple of episodes it stopped bothering me.

Any Kyoani manga adaptation because their animators are FAR better than any modern mangaka, that's how great they are

JoJo's Bizarre Adventures by David Productions. Hirohiko Araki's art is so fucking bad holy shit and he even changes the style in the middle of part 4 wtf. JoJo anime >>> JoJo manga, looking forward to part 5 getting animated.

Hellsing Ultimate was a lot better than the manga. The voice acting made the Nazi vampires just that much better.

HunterxHunter
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou
Shingeki no Kyojin
One Punch Man IF we compare it to One's version instead of Murata's one

Non Non Biyori comes to mind. Lots of SoL stuff probably translates better to anime I think.

Seto no hanayome

I wish I was as cool as Masa

>One Punch Man IF we compare it to One's version instead of Murata's one
The anime is adapting Murata's version, so that doesn't make sense.

If they didn't make you pause for the lists, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Shaft even has a unique take on the drawings that spread the whole page like in pic related.

Watching SZS was like watching a powerpoint presentation.

bump

Evangelion.

Direct adaptations, no.

almost any shounen

for a non-shounen, an example I liked way more in anime than manga was Mushishi. Music really adds a lot to the general feeling.

>HunterxHunter
Strongly this.

unironically Akira

Maidragon is far superior since the manga is pure eyecancer

Fuck no.
It's a comedy series and the adaptation fucked up the comedy repeatedly.

Toradora

Much better pacing and tone.

At this point Hajime no Ippo.

The anime version of the first part of Hokuto

Tokyo ghoul, it wasnt a great adaptation but its still better than the manga.
Youjo Senki anime is the single biggest upgrade over the source material that I've seen.

Yu Yu Hakusho has one of the best adaptations I've seen.

>HunterxHunter
Not really considering the pacing is purest shit.

Kare Kano.

Agreed. Only the art is better.
2011 is a boring 1:1 adaptation of the manga with 0 original directing.

the 1999 version is better than the manga. Unfortunately it gets a lot of shit for being 'elitist' when people like it.

its even worse in the manga

...

this

ye but it looks like shit

Made in Abyss because it cut down on all the problematic sexualization.

>One Punch Man
>being unable to appreciate a man's single minded dedication to his story even though is lack of skill is evident
Sup Forums is truly worst board

>Shit adoptation that fails at every emotional beat
>cuts best part
>better
how can ones taste be so shit

A small few.

>problematic sexualization.
Get the fuck out.

Wrong.

Haikyuu
its insane how shit the drawings are

You need to go back

every ghost in the shell anime except arise

if this wasn't a joke, the eva manga came afterwards

Kaiji's first season. The Zawas we're good.

the k-on manga is not very good, but the show is fantastic

the kyoani touch

The manga was funnier imo but the anime was better overall

I hate animeonlys so much.

Comedic timing was better in the anime then the manga. I have no idea how you experienced the manga is funnier.

When the anime first came out I wrote it off as unfunny adaptation of unfunny shit. Though, after giving it a chance, I actually enjoyed it.

It's the only hard example of anime beating original manga I can think of.

They include a bunch of filler scenes.
There's also pic related

>the live action is superior to the LN it's based on

forgot image

inb4 some turbo casual says Usagi Drop.

Initial D, because the manga doesn't have any Eurobeat.

No one, animeonlies are cancer.
Read the fucking manga.
>characters design becomes soulless moeshit/generic shonen
>filler
>berserk eren
>CGI
>important details changed like Mikasa's mother not tattooing her with her clan symbol before getting killed
>fucked up pacing, like Ymir backstory placed in the middle of clash of the titans arc and Zeke getting teased with no reason
Yeah, no.
Shingeki no Kyojin anime is shit.
Tokyo ghoul anime is garbage, it literally destroyed the plot by changing extremely important things. The result is that trainwreck of Tokyo Ghoul root a.
Weak bait

TTGL anime > manga.

YOU DON FUCKED UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT

WATCHING YOUR LIFE IS LIKE WATCHING A SAD FUCKING JOKE

IM COMING FOR YOUR ASS SO YOU BETTER START PACKING NIGGA

Mob Psycho 100
I like ONE, but he can't draw

Yes.

The ppt meme is for monogatari though.

The anime added a lot to it but saying ONE can't draw is bullshit.

He can't draw.

You think you can talk shit like that and get away with it huh?
Expect a visit real soon, motherfucker!

i just like the major a little less goofy but all versions (except arise) certainly have their merits

A less goofy major certainly isn't one of their merits.

Wait until Bondrewd Arc get adapted before judging.

The Dragonball anime had filler scenes that expanded on the story and were actually fairly decent up until Z.

sorry

One Piece. The action in the manga is too confusing

Nichijou and Akira

Shinsekai yori is better than the LN

pof pof

I want to go on a date with Motoko and give her headpats all night long.

Sabagebu.

she won't let ya!

Not unless you pay for the drinks, that is. And you better have deep pockets cause she's got a deep boozehole.

K-on!

i wouldn't want to fuck his dream up after almost three decades of waiting

>on her fourth bowl of food at least
hungry hungry major

That's not an issue. I'd be paying for the wedding as well.

>Batou "christmas steak" McFriendzone
betcha Motoko slept with every single member of her team EXCEPT him

It says a lot about LN writing standards when Tom Cruise is a better mc than what you came up with.

Then open the floodgates! The sake must flow!

oh snibeti snab!

wasn't she lesbian in the manga?

Bisexual, and quite prolific.

Very loud, too.

now i remember. Maybe the new anime will finally get batou out of the friendzone

the new anime will be CG
I won't be watching it.

just because that arise guy is around doesn't mean it will be mostly CG. I hope. They can't fuck this one up too, can they?

The team involved is the one that made Sidonia.
Each new entry in the franchise reaches new lows.

I want the whole thing to end forever. it's not even the best thing Shirow came up with.

Cromartie High School. And then add the dub.

Z still had some good filler here and there. The driving episode was great.
