ITT: Anime better than their source material

Honey and Clover/Nodame Cantabile, though the manga was good.

Except it wasn't. She died in the manga but the anime execs didn't have the balls to kill her off. So they made an anime original which was crap.

I'm thinking Gintama.

>>160021016
Didn't the anime skip her getting trucked or something?

Not trucking her just made things awkward. They kept all the foreshadowing in, so I couldn't escape the feeling of watching fanfiction.

Bloodlust was fat better than the novel it was based on.
Not all the D novels are bad, that one was just kind of a stinker and the movie did the story far better, especially the ending.

OSK, they skipped so much Rin stuff for season 1 and 2 that it was actually tolerable and fun!

The manga on the other hand has their dick deep so inside her they might as well call it, "adventures of bouncing tits."

the tsukihime anime is objectively better than the actual arcueid route, which is the boring vanillia route that every other route proceeds to further and further mess around or otherwise fuck with the expectations it sets. The ONLY reason to find fault with it is if you're a hardcore arcueidfag that doesn't appriciate the artstyle shift.

i thought the original dragonball anime filled in a lot of story without being excessive

That only makes Brotherhood look worse because a "fanfiction" is superior to it. It's like Madoka fans calling Rebellion a "fanfiction" when it's better than the original series in every single regard.

What damage was there to fix? It was the most successful anime Bones has made up to that point and one of the most popular ones of its time.

>>160037962
Anon, I don't think you understood what the series was about. Kenshin was a killer, yes, but so were Saitou and tons of other characters who also got away with the killing they did even in Seisouhen.

It was never about Kenshin having to deal with the toll the killing in his past took on him until he succumbs and dies, it was about how he wanted to atone for what he did, how he could use his sword to protect the ones he love instead of using it as a killing tool, and how it's still possible for him to find happines and peace of mind in spite of everything he went through. Seisouhen takes this idea and throws it out the window for the sake of having a tragic ending.

Why punish Kenshin who actually worked his ass off to make up for his past with some deadly disease, but let Saitou who still kills people if he finds it necessary get away?

>>160038716
He was working for the winning side. The new government offered him a job many times.

>>160038899
But it's because Kenshin is a good guy that he starts to feel like he doesn't deserve to live a happy life after what he did in the past, Reflection makes a bold move and actually questions whether it's right for him to just forget everything or not. Saito kills and doesn't give a shit, so he has no reason to feel depressed over that.

Kenshin felt he should spend his time wandering around and helping more people than the ones he already has, as opposed to staying with Kaoru and forget about his past. And this choice for a killer who's tormented by his destructive past and wants to atone makes a lot more sense than just helping a bunch of people and sticking around with them.

>Why punish Kenshin who actually worked his ass off to make up for his past with some deadly disease, but let Saitou who still kills people if he finds it necessary get away?

Because life isn't always fair.

>>160040657
That's not how things were. Kenshin was a story about moving on & living life despite the past. The protagonist isn't some young & energetic adventurer but a worldweary bugger who just wanted peace. He knows he fought for the new era & wants to live in it without taking another life. Shishio was the successor of Batosai & a continuation of what Kenshin could have been. Enishi was a direct consequence of Kenshin's actions & had his life ruined by Kenshin. In the end, its about being able to live with the past & enjoy the present.

In atonement, Kenshin already did his fair share. Guys like Jinei, Shishio & more were stopped by him. He wants to settle down & find a place to rest. This is why he rejected all offers of a high ranking government position. If he wanted to help more than find a resting spot, he could be some politician, general or policemen.

>>160040657
He didn't forget things, he already did his part in the restoration. He now wants to have peace. It's in the manga.

>>160040657
So Kenshin should abandon his wife and kids, dooming more people and then do more shit? He might as well have killed all his friends too if that's what he wants.

This exactly. I was shocked at how bland and lame the manga was when I read it after liking the anime. That director has a real talent for turning lead into gold, because he also made Bungou Stray Dogs, which was quite entertaining, from a similarly mediocre manga.

>>160022038
>In what way was it better than the source material?
The stories are often ham-handed and reductionist, but the anime was grounded by Nakamura’s directional choices. He poses these exaggerated stories of people’s failures as think-pieces about human nature, likening the anime to a dark fairy tale as opposed to a realistic depiction of humanity.

Without Nakamura it's only a (slightly) above par LN.

>>160021226
Why does /a/ like to be so contrarian?

Don't get me wrong I love FMA '03, even nowadays it's one of the anime with the most unique concepts I've ever seen. But the manga/Brotherhood is a lot more coherent, even if its ideas and concepts aren't as unique in comparison, it executes all of them flawlessly and has an ending that actually ties the story's loose ends.

I know that the whole Great Tokyo Empire thing is a big part of the theme Otomo was going for but to me it wasn't that great.
Having that empire consist of Tetsuo, a kid that doesn't talk an a guy without a name didn't help either.
To me it really felt like they cut all the right things tomake the best out of the movies runtime, maybe Chiyoko was missing.
