Why is the manga always better than the show?

>>139844455
Because the author is usually more involved with the manga's production than the show
Because the author often signs off on artistic liberties when his/her work gets picked up for a season
Because the manga is lovingly made by a Japanese author and his assistants, rather than in a soulless studio jam-packed full of Chinese or Vietnamese wage slaves
Because on average, chapter releases are like 15 pages a week or 30 pages a month, while anime episodes are more like 25 minutes a week, and a single anime episode can easily use up multiple chapters

Because turning a 14 page comic into a 22 minute episode every single week is not a good idea.

because the manga comes from the author''s mind
the show comes from his money

One dedicated person in charge with his/her editors pulling some strings.

A team of underpayed, untalented animators with incompetent director who has no idea what the word adapt means in charge.

What's the one with the highest chance of fucking up?

Same reason why the book is most of the time better than the movie

Weekly manga have 18 pages, and usually 3 to 4 chapters are adapted in one episode, unless it's a long running animu.
Also the DBS anime isn't even an adaptation from the manga.

More time and resources to delve into the nitty gritty details of each and every character and motivations

Meanwhile films and episodes have set time limits so they miss shit out

Because I can play the better voice actor

I disagree. Depends on the show. A lot of times fighting scenes are hard to follow in manga because its only black and white.

DBZ kai though was better than the manga.

Anime is better when there is no filler or censorship.

English Majin Buu saga of Kai fucking when, English Kai is literally the best way of watching the series
