Television series faithfully adapted from source material are actually pretty shit on a fundamental level:>The source material has to be long enough to draw a season out of it>But this typically means it's too long, so it tends to end on a nonconclusive ending with season 2 never>The source material was never designed to be a television series so the dramatic breaks between episodes and the pacing in general end up having to be weird>They can only adapt things which have no sex scenes whatsoever, or so many sex scenes that they can cut out the non-sex scenes and make it purely about the sex scenes. They can show sex scenes here and there in comic books, but not on television it seemsSo it mostly ends up being this long running, often highly episodic stuff with season 2 never. They should either be very liberal with their adaptations or just create original productions meant for television. Lain was good, picrel isn't.
>>284615287You are actually pretty retarded on a fundamental level:>The source material has to be long enough to draw a season out of itA season is super short, one or two LN volumes.>But this typically means it's too long, so it tends to end on a nonconclusive ending with season 2 never>The source material was never designed to be a television series so the dramatic breaks between episodes and the pacing in general end up having to be weirdMost writers know how to consistently pace chapters and end volume subplots conclusively.>They can only adapt things which have no sex scenes whatsoever, or so many sex scenes that they can cut out the non-sex scenes and make it purely about the sex scenes. They can show sex scenes here and there in comic books, but not on television it seemsAbsolute bullshit. Lots of adaptations cut out sex from the novels.>liberal with their adaptations Fuck no, we had this in early 00s, never again.
You're mentally ill
>>284615472>A season is super short, one or two LN volumes.And yet many good stories end in 2-3 volumes of a comic book which isn't enough to make a television series, they usually need at least 6-7 for it.Note that Eighty-Six was also originally planned as only volume and then it got drawn out due to sequelitis and unsurprisingly it became much worse. Most books are only one volume. “book series” are already generally known to be bad and sequelitis.>Most writers know how to consistently pace chapters and end volume subplots conclusively.The ones that write good things do. It turns out that the things that are adapted tend to be those very bad “book series” type titles that just get milked and have no real coherent plot and narrative.>Absolute bullshit. Lots of adaptations cut out sex from the novels.That's another option and that still makes it bad, especially when they be relevant.>Fuck no, we had this in early 00s, never again.Makes for better narratives. Being faithful with a plot that was never originally written to be televized is just dumb. A plot for a television series should be written with a television series in mind and there are different constrains there with respect to episode running time and just in general what should happen. Some plot elements just work better in writing, others in animation.Look at JoJo where the entire world stops as they are explaining and talking mid-battle. That works in a comic book because the sense of time is different but it just looks ridiculous in a television series and these kinds of things are just really common in general.The things that get adapted to animation in general just are the bad “book series” type of slop.
>>284615538You seem to believe that anyone involved in TV anime production has any fucks to giveTV anime are literally just 20 minute long adsAds to sell merch or toysAds to remind people of multimedia franchiseBut most often it's ads to boost sales of a stagnant source (because if a source is selling out as is it does not need ads)Exceptions happen maybe once every couple years
>kino in capital lettersso cringe
>>284615287Marie the robot is kino and AOTS though.
>>284615287The thing I hate the most about faithful adaptions is the dialogue. Too much exposition. Anime studios refuse to tone down the dialogues so the characters say everything they are feeling, usually in heqd monologues.
>>284615625Well, that's just agreeing with me that it's often shit and that original productions are typically better.>>284615960Anon, it was extended from a one-shot and it shows.It's one of those sequelitus “love “““stories”””" that's just made up as it goes along with no plausible romantic development.Somehow, KoiKimo just happened to have the exact right length for a single reason and actually concluded in a satisfactory way with the right pacing, but that's rare.>>284615980This too, especially when it comes from books or visual novels. These characters provide far too much exposition in their lines which isn't necessary on television or even in strips and quite frankly is also a weird writing style in books. It should be described more by an omniscient narrator.
>>284616293>Anon, it was extended The extended parts were cute and funny.>from a one-shot and it shows.You said being faithful to an original plot isn't important.>It's one of those sequelitus “love “““stories”””" that's just made up as it goes along with no plausible romantic development.Anime is great when it's made up as it goes along. For example. The last good anime was Kokkuri-san.
>>284616616>It is cute and funny, I watch brainless plotless dreck with implausible characters because it's cute and funny.The ultimate state of the target audience for this kind of stuff for whom fiction has basically become nothing but cope and comfort in their miserable lives.
