Kind of hard when it's not translated, is racist and nationalist as hell, and pretty much only good for cute, sexy waifus but only promotes loliconism.

part of the reason why I watched the anime was for the visuals and designs hard to get myself into the source material that's lacking in both

Nobody called the K-ON manga good, the anime even took a lot of liberties too.

Watching anime after reading manga always pisses me off because the characters never have the hair colors I imagined they would and I never pay attention to colored cover pages.

I'll read a manga or a VN.

I will never ever touch an LN.

Good thing my favorite anime doesn't have source material

I've read all of fucking nisekoi just for my waifu though.

>>117038518
Good choice, I've tried them and the best of them are, maybe, decent YA fiction. That's probably expected, given the intended demographic.

>>117037910
My favourite anime is original, bear.
And why would I read the source material when I've already seen the anime anyway?
It's the same thing in a medium I enjoy less.

>there hasn't been a good non-adapted anime in over 15 years

why is the anime industry so uncreative?

Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There

So much interesting potential. The manga really waters down the hardcore nationalism of the web novel, and the series' main story ended without really concluding anything, other than Japan conquers a new world empire. And the manga has better art.

>>117038687

>>117038487
Battle shounen is especially prone to this development.

That's why pandering to normalfags: not even once.

>>117038785
I can see Gate getting an anime

it's certainly otaku pandering enough

>>117038785
Oh, Gate. I like the manga, but I've been avoiding the novels because I heard they are so overly nationalistic and NIPPON STRONG.

>promotes loliconism
Wait, does that mean there's a goth loli end?

>>117038558
I don't blame you, VNs are a fucking commitment.

You can blow through 100 chapter manga in an afternoon or two.

Even your average VN requires 20+ hours bare minimum. And that's before you get into other routes and endings.

>>117038915
since the novels aren't translated what are some of the difference between them?

>>117038953
Did you mean to quote >>117038785?

I haven't read the novels so I can't make any kind of comparison.

Incest end wasn't even bad.

What was bullshit was the entire second half being cliche romance drama shit.

>their favorite show isn't anime original

>>117039158
It was bad because Daikichi was guilt-tripped into starting a romantic relationship with the person he viewed as his daughter. His feelings were not considered at all. Can you imagine how fucked up he must feel, knowing he's gonna marry and fuck the sweet little girl he raised like a daughter? He pretty much only consented to this borderline emotional incest to make her happy, because he loves her like a father.

>>117039263
She's hot, so he'll reconsider.

>>117038926
But good VNs are a treasure. You get to experience and enjoy the characters and world for those 20+ hours. When you finish it's so sad ;_;

>people who don't read every issue of WSJ cover to cover every week

Just because you like something doesn't mean you'll like it's source material. A work based on another work is different from it's source especially when it's been transplanted from one medium to another. They become two separate entities.
