Why is it that 99% of the time VN adaptions are absolute trash?

Because you're trying to fit in hours and hours of characters thoughts, monologues, etc into a 12-24 episode series. It's especially horrible when the studio doesn't stick to one route and tries to combine them all forming a jumbled mess. It's the same reason why most book adaptions are shit.

Because VNs are usually shit.

You aren't playing the right kind of VNs then.

Is pic related?

there are very, very few VNs that are actually good
the rest are self-insert fantasies

>>138976347
No. I'd consider ToHeart to be apart of that 1%

>the rest are self-insert fantasies
I'm pretty sure that's the main reason why VNs exist though.

VNs are just not very good.

>>138976351
Good thing most anime are not self-insert fantasies then.

The OVA specials for the sequel are fucking amazing.

When Aquaplus takes a hands-on approach it's glorious. When they don't we get shit like Under Water Ray Ramano 2: Son of the Mask.

Sturgeon's Law.

99% of anime is trash, so it makes sense that 99% of VN adapted anime are trash as well.

I'd say in terms of adaptations it goes:
Manga > VN > LN > other

>You'll never be Japanese so you can tap into the thousands of untranslated VN masterpieces in bargain bins

Fuck me man

not sure what you mean

No one said most anime was good, jackass.

>masterpieces
>bargain bin
pick one and only one

Because for whatever reason the industry decided that they should be compressed ten times as much by their adaptations as manga is. You could read the entirety of JoJo or One Piece in the time it'd take to read Grisaia, and it got twelve episodes.

the only quality vn you are missing out on is baldr sky

Why is it that the only good VN adaptations I've seen are from Aquaplus games? The only bad ones were Under Water Ray Ramano 2 and Comic Party Revolution, though I think Comic Party Revolution was based on the manga.

This. A normal monthly manga adaptation probably covers around three chapters an episode, I'd say. That's no more than twenty minutes of source material put into a twenty-minute episode. A normal VN adaptation might shove several hours into those twenty minutes.

Muramasa?
