What’s the point in watching anime which are adaptations, when you can read the original for a fraction of the time, and get the creator’s original vision?
>>289526352Anime is not a good replacement given it's degree of separation from the source material, but it can offer additional enhancements.
>>289526352Sometimes the creator dies before the work is finished, or the adaption goes in it's own interesting direction, or it focuses on other things. One can almost consider it another layer of editing and a different interpretation of the source material, with all the potential benefits and drawbacks that it may entail.Sometimes they are better, sometimes worse, sometimes equal.
What if creator's original vision is not good?
>>289526352>What’s the point in watching animeI've been asking myself the same thing
>>289526352One thing I can think of is that you sort of isolate yourself from the online discourse online. If you read only the Naruto manga, or the One Piece manga, you would not be able to talk about it in the same way with anime people.
>>289526352entertainment and personal enjoyment, the same point as any piece of mediait's also fun to see a different interpretation of the same story and characters, unless you're one of those schizos who believe the story actually happened and cry about muh canon
>>289526352Watching anime is shorter than reading novels and mangas are shit and most series will only have a few volumes translated (which are usually the ones adspted already).
>>289528091in what world is this true
>>289526352>reading>in the big 26
>>289526604The time spent watching anime could be employed in other things which give you entertainment and personal enjoyment. You could read the original and get a purer experience for less time expended.
>>289526352Anime is better.
>>289526352I don't watch adaptations unless I know the source, yeahBut if I know the original vision I do watch a few from time to time.
>>289526352If you only watch anime for the story, you'd be better off reading a book
>>289528153In this world. Literally all of those are true.
>>289529442you must be a very slow readerdid you have trouble in school as a child?
>>289526352>fraction of the timeReading the summaries would help you save even more time
>>289529517Total false equivalency
>>289529557why bring up time then?
Why don’t manga authors get involved with the anime’s?
>>289529581Reading the original work over an adaptation is not the same as reading a summary.
