Is there an anime that surpasses the manga?
Only one I can think of is Vandread.
Sabagebu
Kaiji. Mostly for the OST and the narrator.
Non Non Biyori
Keion
Most Kyoani adaptations
Gintama

Fairy Tail
Naruto
Bleach
Most shounenshit written by hacks, actually

Bleach? Bruh, it had filler seasons!
>>157601834
So did fairy tail. The filler that the studios came up with is better than the manga, in both cases.

SnK

Strongly disagree. Stick to the plot or gtfo. Stop trying to fill in the blanks.
>>157601354
Only when I don't like the manga. Kekkai Sensen and Arpeggio were two for me.

true
Code Gayass
Ghost in the Shell
>>157601855
Actually, the Fairy Tail "filler" was just side stories from the volumes being adapted as full arcs.

Innocence and beyond, yes. The first book was a different animal than the movie. Good in their own respective ways. Innocence, like the movie, was stuck on hard core navelgazing and it was boring af.
K-on, Hidamari, Lucky Star

My point is exactly that. Bleach's plot was meandering enough without six seasons of filler garbage.

Came here to post Kekkai Sensen too.While the manga is overall alright, I think that the anime did a better job to convey the atmosphere of Hellsalem's Lot.
Samurai Champloo
The manga is complete ass and has none of the good elements from the show.
>>157604632
Agree. The show had a certain frenetic energy that the manga lacked.
I can think of Usagi Drop and Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, but they're only better because they don't adapt the garbage parts.

K-On
FMA Brotherhood.
Demi-chan.
Arguably Shingeki no Kyojin.
GitS SAC
Shingeki no Kyojin
Koe no Katachi

Usagi Drop skipping the real story and trying to pass it off as some slice of life thing pissed me off
