What do you think of classic novels getting light novel/manga

fuck you

This

Fuck you OP

It's kind of cool, I guess. As long as the original text remains.

>>9846755
If the text isn't abridged I don't see why not

They should add an appendix of Darcy giving Elizabeth some hot regency-era mating press though

>>9846755
It makes classic literature more appealing to the general public so as long as the text isn't disturbed I'm good with it. Better than movie adaptations that butcher the text.

>>9846755
I will never read one, so, why should I care?

>>9846755
The problem with young adaptatioms is that they lose ideas/prose/greatness in favour of the plot. So when someone reads an abidged adaptation of a famous book ut often goes over their head and now they wont read the original because they feel they've already experienced what the book had to offer.

>>9846755
Just like other anons said, if it's not abridged I see no problems, it's basically the regular novel with some illustrations.

>>9846944
you happened to care enough to reply to it?

Ok for kids and the intellectually impaired. Ultimately I fail to see a reason to read an adaption instead of the original material.

A true patrician already imagines all of the characters in a book as anime characters and doesn't need illustrations.

They're really working that poor mexican to the bone, aren't they?

>Truly, I had become full of both pride... and prejudice

Why

>>9846755
There was a full manga-ization of pride n prej, I loved it, fun to read.

Yall buncha prudes. Accompanying images is fun.

I like to think that all writers are often failed artists who never felt faith in their ability to convey forms without the ease of the written letter

>>9847176
You can think that but its bs. I distanced from art because I felt prose was infinitely more flexible and practical for conveying what I want.

Also, this.

>>9847187
Oh, I did, but as they say it's very easy to spread yourself thin. Have you ever done them yourself? Theres as much to learn with writing as there is with art, some people do pull off a combo, but for most people its uneccesary.

Guys like William Blake and Tolkien had it alright, but personally I think comics are an incredibly cumbersome and unweildly medium. Let prose be the main body with pictures as flavor.

>>9847176
Umm sweetie if you're any good with description you can create images in the readers mind far more intimate and vivid than any drawing.

I wouldn't have minded having illustrations for the ships and whales in Moby Dick. Not that I can't picture them well, but the archaic and specialised fishing terms made some parts really hard to visualise.

Having illustrations in novels is an old and patrician practice.

>>9847209
>denies the value of explicit form

Only because your inner vision lacks clarity and confidence.

>>9847248
Creating descriptions as descibed requires that very same clarity and confidence.

You sound like someone who dosent practice either art seriously but likes to theorize. Its as braindead as saying poets are failed musicians.

>>9847260
I would not deny the power of any medium, I would however deny a person saying that clarity in form is somehow a lesser expression than the more ambiguous character of written word over explicit formal drawing and painting or sculpture,

they both have their merits

I happen to think that the world is ripe and ready for a blend of both

we are too full of words and not enough explicit form

the world wants to evolve but we are too ambigious as to the character of our own impending evolution that we can't direct our attention in a way that demands intense focus due in large portion to our lack of clarity of visions due in large part to our obsession with the written word over the more explicit artforms

>I happen to think that the world is ripe and ready for a blend of both

Comics/manga are well integrated into global culture m8

>>9847296
I rest my case lol

what i wanted to get at is that manga and comics dont integrate the two mediums very well

word bubbles obscure large portions of the images in text, it would be better if they were separated imo but I dont see any medium attempting this other than the oldschool style which put the text beneath the pictures

>>9847310
Visual novels, and some comics/manga do emulate that style, but honestly the best artists know exactly how to compose the pages so the reader's eye flows with the text and pictures seamlessly without breaking the flow. That's part of the art of comics.

>>9847182
to be honest whenever a goddess' beauty is mentioned I can't help imagine them as anime waifu material

>>9846755
Austen basically wrote shoujo anyway. So it's fine.

>>9847087
I was interested in answering the question but not reading the subject of the question. How is this hard to understand?

>>9847176
>I like to think that all writers are often failed artists who never felt faith in their ability to convey forms without the ease of the written letter
This is retarded. Literature has been the most expressive art-form. Thought, emotion and description have been blended in manners beyond what even the greatest visual artist has achieved. Do you think something like the Divine Comedy would have been better in the hands of a concise visual artist?

"""People""" who like anime should be killed
