>read the LN/VN

well you should

If you have time to read this post you have time to spend 70+ hours reading a VN so you can feel superior to strangers on the internet

read faster

If you are complaining about a plot hole that is adressed in the source material, this is a valid argument.

>>150461543
Is it though? A show should stand on its own unless explicitly stated otherwise.

>>150461599
LN adaptations are all just advertisements now anyway.

>>150461543
Nope.
>>150461599
Yep.

>>150461599
LN adaptations tend to be "buy the LN" advertisements, though. They aren't supposed to stand alone.

If you think you can adapt some 14000 pages in a 24 episode anime without it looking retarded honestly get your head checked.

>anime "adaptations"

>>150463901
The thing is japs are retarded at adapting things. They completely suck. Most of the time not only they butcher characters or story they also don't manage to time things accordingly. I don't think it's a problem about adapting, it's just the japs that are incompetent.

>watching animes/manga that are adaptations of LNs
It's like you want to watch a story that was shredded and compressed

it's always best to watch the medium that came first

>>150461215

>reading anime

>>150461177
then don't ask for spoilers you piece of shit

Should I watch Clannad or read the vn

>>150468146
Both.

>>150468188
Which first

>>150468251
Watch the anime and then complain that the VN is too long.

>>150468404
Ok

VN is probably the worst storytelling medium humanity has ever conceived.
An adaption that cuts essential content would still be better than the source material for the simple fact of not being a VN.

FTFY

>>150468146
I've yet to see any sensible person make a convincing argument for the VN over the anime

>>150471949
There's nothing inherently wrong about LN, it's just a novel that uses a limited selection of characters.

>>150471949

nah Light novels will at least have the MC with SOME form personality. In VN though it's just a generic block that can only act when the player does because the MC IS the player

>>150468515
imo VNs are actually an underutilized medium. What most people don't seem to realize is that it's good use of sound design and background music that sets VNs apart, its not only about the visuals. Unfortunately many VNs don't take full advantage of this and a result very few VNs are really able to nail the atmosphere and immersion they're going for.

>>150472173
You're looking about it wrong. When a good VN has choices it's less that you're filling in the place of the MC's character and more that you're just choosing which story to read, which route.

>>150472119
LN's a pretty vague term if stuff like Nisio and Gagaga novels are LNs

>>150467784
Well yeah, most of you weebs don't watch dubs,

>>150461599
>Is it though?

It is if you're judging it as a story rather than just an anime. Although all this changes is how you perceive that particular work from 'X sucks' to 'X work is a good story with a bad anime adaption' .

Thanks, I needed a laugh

>>150472343
LN is generally a Japanese novel of roughly 40,000 words that feature illustrations. They tend to be directed towards young adults.

according to who? why do 4channerians just declare random shit as fact?

>anime adaptation
>suddenly everyone on /a/ is a primary fag

>>150473098
Because everything on the internet is fact. It is literally impossible to lie on the internet.

>>150465448
I think it's a case of an EOP thinking he has read the source material and managing to contradict himself every second sentence.

>>150473098

Go back to where you came from. It's anon(s).

Sasuga secondaries , you guys never cease to amaze me

Enjoy your rushed , half-assed glorified commercial filled with plotholes that doesn't even cover 1/4 of the story.

>>150472284
This is a good post.

>>150463901
I tried reading a VN once with FSN. Most of the thousand or so pages of dialogue was useless shit that was rightfully cut from the anime.

Never again.

>""""""""light"""""""" novels

>>150478325
Hence the use of the word "generally".

>>150478400
Doesn't whether a novel is light or regular actually depend on the publishing label though?

>>150461599
They should, yes. The problem is, most adaptations of LNs/VNs don't.
