Whatever happened to visual novel adaptations? Back in the 2000s

>>161750946
Because they are shit. Now behold how they will butcher Dies irae

because all the good ones have been adapted already

People are finally realizing that packing god knows how many hours of writing into 12/24 episodes is fucking awful. And that adapting routes for girls without any bias whatsoever in a non-omnibus format is more trouble than it's worth.

LNs are easier to do I guess.

There is no reason to adapt VNs, which are on average very low quality and are hard to adapt (due to their length) when you can just adapt the thousands of isekai WN which are written like anime scripts.

>>161751141
Then why don't more shows do an omnibus format then?

>>161750946
This would be better if it were adapted as a hentai anime.

>>161751305
Wasn't Princess Lover like that? It had a non-hentai anime and a few hentai OVAs.

>>161751262
Because it's even worse.

>>161751262
Because only Amagami can do it right.

VN adaptions turned out to generally suck just because you have to cram so much in so few episodes, resulting in butchered messes. The exceptions are few and far between. Planetarian for example turned out decent because the VN was short. Noraneko really isn't an adaption, acting more as a SoL deal for those who like the characters.

There's still a lot. There were like 11 VN adaptions last year

VNs are a dying medium. Mobage and web novels are where it is at these days.

>>161750946

Speaking of eroge adaptations, why do most sell poorly? The last one to not flop was Grisaia, and even then it sold above average and wasn't exactly a huge hit.

people just want traps and recycled bs

I still need to finish that show, I liked the dogfight sport.

>>161755565
Because anime is a niche medium to begin with and BD sales aren't the biggest source of revenue anyway

>>161750946
Why didn't this sell well? Wasn't the VN popular in Japan?

>>161750946
LN took its place. Easier to adapt, more to adapt.

>>161750946
Anime is simply not adequate to adapt VNs, especially the typical ones that have 5+ routes and lots of MC inner dialogue. So much content gets lost and so much is confusing or weird after the conversion process that it isn't worth it. I'm glad adaptations of VNs died out for the most part, they are mostly an insult to the original work.

>>161758997
Maybe because it was destined to be shit. By the time it came out even fans of the VN were wise enough to avoid it.

>>161754041
>Because route amalgamation should be a crime punishable by death.
This. Each route should be animated separately

>>161752380
There is no Rewrite anime.

>>161759120
That's good if the show is 24+ episodes long like Amagami. If you get the typical 12-episode anime adaptation though, it's absolutely necessary to cut out heroine routes completely.

Ideally, just focus on the common route and a single heroine route. Like what Mashiro-iro Symphony did, that anime was far from perfect but at least it felt like it went somewhere.

What is the best VN adaptation in your opinion /a/?

I thought Kanon(2006) was decent albeit not without its flaws

>>161759169
Planetarian, simply because it wasn't adapted from one of those fuckhueg door-stopper VNs thus it was actually able to pull off the entire story of the source material.

>>161759169
WA2, because adapting a 10-hour long VN into 5 hours allows you to be very faithful to the source material.

With that said, I don't believe that being completely faithful to the source material is required for a good adaptation.

Let's hear what Moogy has to say.
> Eroge have been irrelevant in Japan for quite some time now, and there are only a few commercial titles worth looking forward to per year nowadays. Calling the market "dead" is probably a stretch, but not much of one - the model as it is isn't really sustainable (lol, 8800 yen package releases) and most potential customers have moved on to other content by this point, especially with the rise of soshage in recent years.
And there's your answer, nobody makes VN adaptations anymore because Moogy said the market is irrelevant. Not that hard to grasp I believe.

>>161752380
Rewrite's adaptation was fine, it was the source material which was shit.

>>161759525
Why even pay for "professional" eroge if you can get freeware vn with uncensored porn content anyway?

>>161759169
Clannad movie, radically different and trimmed down but much improved.

>>161751024
Dies Irae is shit that 12 year olds think is cool.

>>161759294
I don't like WA2 simply because it is unfinished. It's a 0/10 for me until they decide to animate coda.

>>161759169
Kanon is very good. The only problem is Ayu being forced at the end, but that goes back to multiroute VN adaptions being problematic to adapt in general.

Adaptations exit primarily to sell the source material. The PC visual novel market is a dying breed. Why would an author write a scenario for a VN when he could just make it a web novel and it might get picked up by a publisher? Light novels actually sell.

>>161751156
>easier
No they're cheaper to licence.
Behind popular VNs there's often entire companies who knows their value.
Behind popular novels there's often amateurs who can be scammed with poor contracts.

>>161758997
It's not even "adaptation". They butcher it.

How much does most VN being 18+ factor? Publishers will fund a LN anime because they know they can tap into that huge well of disposable income that teenagers have. The market for eroge is smaller and as >>161759525 says it's not growing or even shrinking.

And all-ages VN have never sold well unless you've already got an army of fans who will buy your game no matter what.

>particularly the romance ones.

Every VN is a romance VN.
VN adaptations rarely have the content that pleases producers, so they're mostly used to further the sales of the VNs.
Or to promote new VNs, since the industry is dying and every known VN writer is doing LNs or anime, there are less adaptations as well.

You can't recognize a legit Visual Novel CG?

Adapting VN to anime really needs a good director. By I mean good director is a capable director that can make monologues into animation well. But rarely nowadays directors can do that.

Ishihara needs to direct VN again since he's good at it.
