I agree. The manga is longer, but honestly it's just more of the same. Tetsuo turns into a fetus monster twice, Tokyo gets blown up several times, they spam that orbital laser, and in between it's just pages and pages of run-n-gun. It doesn't develop any of the themes or characters further than the anime does, it simply throws them into more action scenes.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great ride, masterfully drawn, but the anime is the exact same experience condensed into a neat package, with beautiful animation and music.

>>153971387
The manga was an adaption of the anime in this case. The general rule is usually "Original>any adaption" The exception is when studios take shitty LNs and make them better.

Eureka Seven but I guess that's cheating a bit since the manga was a shitty spin-off that nobody cared about

Evangelion?

>>153957794
Most of the anime that spawned manga instead of the other way around are. I think Sailor Moon is the only anime I liked more than the source manga that changed a lot of things.

A lot of OVAs and movies. For instance the Angel Cop OVA was amazing while the original manga is a bland one-shot. Spriggan's manga was almost incoherent while the movie provided some awesome visuals. Akira has been brought up before.

>>153962869
The HxH manga could put to sleep people on crack.

Shingeki no Kyojin, the manga is so awful that i'm not sure how it become popular in the first place.

The anime of Monster is basically a shot for shot remake of the manga and I would say the voice acting and some directorial flourishes make it better.

>>153971165
But the anime cuts out most of the stuff that gives context to a lot of scenes in the show, and as a result ends up with tons of pointless characters and scenes that go nowhere and mean nothing, and things that happen 'just cause'. It's more condensed but less coherent.

planetes

>>153975850
I disagree, I think the pacing is off in the anime, it takes so much more time to watch monster than it does to read it, and towards the middle of the story the plot slows down a bit, and watching the anime gets a bit tedious at that point. I think the manga is paced practically perfectly and when you animate it and speak every line then it messes with that delicate balance.
That being said the anime is still fantastic, and if you aren't into manga you should definitely watch the anime because Monster is a masterpiece.

>>153976684

That's only because of the fundamental differences in the nature of anime and manga. But I still believe the Monster anime to be superior, by a little. Yeah it did drag in some parts, could have probably cut one or two episodes down with some tighter editing, but then it wouldn't be as faithful.

I don't think it should be cut down at all, I love that it's faithful, monster doesn't have any irrelevant moments or characters so if you take anything out it starts to fall apart. I just think that because of the differences between anime and manga the manga works better. They're effectively the same thing though so it really comes down to what your personal preference is.

The Dragon Maid anime is legit better than the manga

Azumanga Daiou just for RASUBELLI HEAVEN

Ouran High School Host Club manga is unreadable, but its anime is pretty good.

>>153981615
This

Azumanga Daioh is one of my all time favorite shows and Yotsuba&! is a perfectly good series so Azuma's a good writer but I cannot read the manga at all. The 4koma format in general is absolutely terrible, like reading an even shittier newspaper strip, and completely anathema to good writing or joke telling.

>>153982397
You're wrong.

>>153982733
The actual volumes are fine, it's just a travesty how awful the available scans for the series are.

>>153982952
The anime is fucking awful and has a shitty ending
Why did they even gave it an anime original ending?

>>153981831
Never read the manga, but heard they decided to have Spider-tits eat Metaphysical Tri-clops to achieve an ultimate form rather than go down the path of her trying to seduce him and then getting killed.

This somehow doesn't sit well. I mean let's be honest, the only good villians Soul Eater had were ironically not Arachne or Asura. Medusa and her lackey's were great as were Arachne's minions but Arachne herself was boring as shit.

Asura could have used some major development because as a character concept he was pretty damn cool, so it just sounds like a bad decision to have him merge with one of the more boring characters simply because she's higher on the totem pole.

>>153961381

Honestly the anime and the novels are basically a 1:1 translation. That's why the pacing isn't great for the anime, it's a book's pacing.

Outlaw Star.

>>153983050
They practically had the same ending.

>Mine and Tatsumi
Literally nothing was lost since these characters weren't very good in the first place.

The anime has better animation than the manga has art, the pro of a decent OST and great OPs to boot as well. There is literally no argument for the manga unless you happen to like Mine and Tatsumi.

>>153980634

You've got some bum fuckawful taste if you think Azumanga Daioh (manga) isn't god tier.

>>153981831
>Mifune lives

>>153957794
Out of those only HxH 99 is on par with the manga.

The rest are fun anime but not that good adaptations

I want to say Trigun, but honestly I've forgetten how the manga is.

>>153983765

The Azumanga Daioh manga is just dull as fuck because that's what 4koma is. It's a shit format and it's bad for pretty much everything. You have to specifically structure jokes that work for the 4koma format so it's tremendously limiting and Azumanga's brand of character-focused humor isn't a good fit for it.

Pretty much every anime based off of a 4koma is better than the 4koma, including all the shit you named.

>>153983919
Nah, mate, you just have such a massive bias that it's transformed your taste into shit.

Like seriously, you're completely bullshitting.

>>153984782

OK bro excellent rebuttal there. I see I'm dealing with an intellectual mastermind here. "Nah m8 lol"

>>153984838
Your post was basically "no no no" to my response of "just because it's a generally bad format doesn't mean there aren't standouts". What do you want exactly? Me to explain to you that each of those series are beloved and half of them aren't even animated? And there's a reason for that. Plenty of 4-koma go entirely under the radar. To utilize the format and still create a success in spite of its limitations is a sign of sheer quality. A sign only a blind dipshit such as yourself would miss.

>>153984948

There are people who like everything, it doesn't change that 4komas are shit. You're entitled to your own opinion but don't act like Azumanga Daioh was some masterpiece that demonstrates the art and complexity of 4komas. Now that's bullshit.

You sound like you're taking this quite personally, by the way.

I didn't say that.

And yeah I'm taking you talking shit about one of the best manga series of all time personally, it's an utter garbage and dull ass opinion. Azumanga Daioh is a hilarious and surreal work that practically set standard for the genre yet still surpasses pretty much anything that came after it in most regards.

>>153984948
>it was popular and got an anime adaptation therefore it's good
It's a case of polishing a turd. Pretty it up as much as you want but the format is inherently shit and limiting and the actual Azumanga manga is no different. The characters, the timing on jokes, the music, animation, all of it is what actually makes Azumanga good and none of it really exists in the manga because, again, the format itself does not allow for anything like that.

I've tried reading the manga and it's not good not because Azuma's a bad writer (he's not) but because the format itself is just inherently limiting and just makes it dull and charmless.

>>153985533
>>it was popular and got an anime adaptation therefore it's good
that's not what I said at all, but people liking things is indeed indicative of success, especially given the fact that this is a format that generally gets next to no attention whatsoever

I honestly enjoyed the manga more because I got more content, and felt the jokes were generally paced better. I think the anime is good but doesn't beat out the manga. I would never use the words "dull" or "charmless" to describe the series, and honestly this is the first time I've seen anyone actually describe Azumanga Daioh in such a way.

>>153985663
>people liking things is indeed indicative of success

Why aren't you reading Boruto?

>>153985987
Boruto is a success, but so are most generic battle manga (even those that die young). The same cannot be said for generic yonkoma.

>>153985213

Azumanga Daioh was not a masterpiece. Not even slightly. Don't kid yourself. It's enjoyable but probably one of the most overrated series of all time. And the 4koma is boring shit, like all 4koma manga.

Well, back to my casual watching habits with Cowboy Bebop.

>>153986717
Has good pacing, is humorous, is surreal, is much beloved, and set standards are the arguments. You missed those. The shit taste part is ignoring that and thinking that it's bad because that's just your opinion. Well, in regards to your opinion, a lot of people don't happen to share it and reread AD a shitton because it's a good goddamn manga. Rewatching Azumanga is ironically a worse off idea, because you are subject to its pace, as you are with any anime series.

>>153981644
>2011 is the absolute best way for someone to get into HxH.
Yeah, I love how they took Chapter 1 and put it at the beginning of a later arc. I love how so many people think Kite was just a random nobody added to generate drama. Yeah, so much better.

>>153986769

Well I didn't make that post so there's at least two people who think 4komas are shit. And this is a thread about anime that are superior to the manga. So that guy(You), by saying that the first guy is wrong and that the AD manga is superior, is being contrarian.

If he(You) thinks otherwise, he should be able to explain why it's so great, since the post he is responding to took the time to explain why he didn't like it. Instead he just starts going "no you're wrong because I say you're wrong"

And I have been around a while and since the very beginning there's been loads of people who say something like "I liked Azumanga Daioh but then I tried to read the manga and..." so no, the manga being this masterpiece is hardly the accepted and standard opinion, I'd say it's pretty much a meme like all the normies who say the book is always better when they've never read the book. It's just assumed it's true, but in the case of AD it's really not.

>>153986811

Well the anime did all those things too so what's your point? Also what "good pace?" It's a fucking 4koma.

>>153986938
>Well the anime did all those things too so what's your point? Also what "good pace?" It's a fucking 4koma.
If you don't recognize that there can be "good" and "bad" pacing to yonkoma I dunno what to tell you. The timing is good, basically, and it reads at a relaxed pace. It's a different and in my opinion better pace than the animated series. I also mentioned it has more content. It does, because of course it does, and that's another thing that gives it a leg over the adaptation.

As for everything else, due to the greater amount of content the fact that the jokes (which came from the manga), the surreality (which came from the manga), characters (manga) and their interactions (manga) are on about the same level, since there's more of it in the manga I'd say that also makes it the better of the two.

>>153986938
>Well I didn't make that post so there's at least two people who think 4komas are shit

>>153983784
The irony is that both battles between Black Star and Mifune were incredibly badass, just that one ended with Mifune dying and one didn't.

Mifune dying never hit me right because they never bothered showing how Angela reacted to learning of his death, or if she ever found out at all. Honestly I don't think a single part of the manga would have been different if Mifune had lived, so it does bug me that Ohkubo iced him. Mifune's too cool to die.

>>153989046
I think the importance of Mifune dying wasn't that Angela was left alone, but that Black Star killed someone.

His personal history is full of murderers (well, assassins), Mifune's death let his partner evolve, and it was a big swing for his characters development

...At least as far as I remember, because I dropped the fuck out of Soul Eater after a while.

>>153989210
>>153989046

What was Soul Eater's biggest mistake? I'd say the world building and making Asura one of Death's sons.

The world they lived in wasn't really explained all too well so the history regarding Deaths organization, the war with witches and other concepts failed to be captivating.

Making Asura a fragment of Death. This idea alone wasn't that bad, but the problem is how it was presented. Rather than simply be a child and potential successor to Death like Death Jr, Asura was made from a fragment of death to remove his fear. This severally fucked his potential as a character because it simplified his background narrative into being a creature of habit. He was originally shown as a guy who was so afraid of everything he tried to become god; instead he was afraid because he was a manifestation of a deities fear that was foolishly turned into a soldier.

It feels like the author saw FMA being completed and thought the retarded idea of homonculi being fragments of a beings personality was cool when really it's a shit tier concept that ruins villains.

i honestly, truly believe the soul eater manga did no wrong. then again, it was like the first manga i ever read so maybe my powers of critique were not fully developed yet.

I dropped it before learning all that, but to me it kinda felt like it was just becoming a mess that I couldn't care about at all.
