I have watched and read the manga and the anime and it is sad to see how such a good story was adapted like this
Yeahhhhhhh, I think most of fans have felt that haha
I'm in the middle of reading the manga and gave up on the anime 3 episodes in
I wish I could've stopped at episode 3
Pode dizer qual final no manga?
@@atariisari Yes
Studio Pierrot honestly picked a fantastic series to adapt, but picked the worst time to do it. They made it waaaaay too early and this caused the anime to stray from its source material. However, I have to thank the anime for introducing me to this because it's genuinely fun, heart-warming, and action packed and I love it.
Unlike this offtopic case when the moment both Dragonball Super anime and its manga had "same story but different execution" is due to both are made at the same exact time (or sometimes anime first, manga later) just like the moment of "fused Zamazu were cloned instead of killed upon slashed in half" in manga at time after the anime episode of same arc/moment is finished,...
Yeah, that anime Twin Star Exorcists learned the hard way since they adapted it too early even the manga's arc isn't finished yet
I remember when my friend told me to get into TSE, I was about to watch the anime and he said “NO DON’T. READ THE MANGA” so I did and fell in love with the story. Then I watched clips of the anime and was horrified how they butchered the story 😭 TSE, Tokyo Ghoul, The Promised Neverland, Berserk, none of them deserved what their anime studios did to them 😢 love your content man! Keep up the videos
Yeah, I wasn't really interested in TSE until my girlfriend wanted me to read it. She told me how awful the anime supposedly was and then she roped me into watching it with her after I read the manga :^) And thank you!!
@@sigmaofficial3040tbf Promised Neverland ruined itself far earlier than anime adaptation. And I like how people now act as if manga was a masterpiece, when back in the day people hated last arcs and ending with greatest passion.
@@sigmaofficial3040 first arc? Yes, it's a masterpiece. Everything else? Not so much. And I'm saying that as a person who was a big fan and was waiting for every chapter weekly.
@@sigmaofficial3040 okay, sure.
Maybe because "of all time" means something in the greatest of all time
I was driven insane when he said she would only hold him back. In the manga, he was relieved. He didn’t want to be alone. He admired her and thought she was strong, and even asked her to train him. Geez like bro did you miss the entire… idk character?
Well the author of the manga did say we should consider the anime as a completely different series🤔
thats not a good sign
More content then
Well for someone that usually prefers anime over manga, you definitely convinced me into reading it. Very good video.
Glad to hear, I hope you enjoy it if you ever give it a go! Thank you!
While I do acknowledge that the manga is likely a lot better, I did seriously enjoy the first half of the anime
Especially the part where the main girl gets here legs transformed by one of the demons, the fights were hype and a lot of the jokes were genuinely funny
And that's totally fine! I imagine a lot of what you did like came from the manga, so I hope you get to check out the manga sometime!
I watched the anime before I realized the manga existed and I honestly loved it
If compared to the manga, it’s a horrible adaptation but as a stand alone series not compared to the manga, I’d say it’s a pretty good show🤔
I wish I could see it even as a good series by its own merits like you can but, frankly, I think it's a pretty awful show no matter what angle I look at it from. Even on its own, it has a bad story, bland characters, and piss poor action. I am glad you can enjoy it though
@@NINJAMUSHI well i did like the anime and i haven't read the manga
Soooo i guess I'm the odd one out lol
Same same
@@THEANIMALGUY regardless of whether you do or don't like the anime, I hope you still check out the manga and enjoy it! It goes way further than the anime and has lots of things to love about it, plus it's in its final arc right now :)
@@NINJAMUSHI oh so it's ending it seems like a good time to read it
If i can get myself to read it
For some reason i get sleepy while reading 😅
Awesome vid! I was planning to watch the anime, but after this, it made me wanna just read the manga. Time is precious, can't waste time on 50 episodes. I wanna see their romance bloom in full glory!
I remember when I first read the manga... man, I was NOT prepared for it to be THAT good in comparison to the anime.
As someone who hasn't watched the anime or read the manga (and honestly only knows about this series because of you), I'm baffled. 50 episodes is a lot to plan in advance unless it's an extremely popular manga, which this obviously isn't (at least not in the West, no idea about Japan). If this was made in the 2000s it would probably make sense, but 2016? Usually the only series that get so many episodes right off the bat are Shounen Jump's big series and Gundam. From what you say about it, it sounds like the first arc could've been covered in half that or less, and that would fit right in with the ~12 episode seasonal anime productions that we've become used to since the rise of streaming.
Edit: oh, Studio Pierrot, that makes sense.
Yeah that's why I'm a little shocked it even was adapted as it was, regardless of quality. 50 episodes just feels like it set up to fail the anime
I hate how they treated rokuro's first connection to Abe no Seimei. He literally transformed for half a second just to heal.
And not only that: he healed the big hole in his chest but restored only back to his first form of right arm when Seigen's new black talisman was meant to strengten his right arm with not only unsealing more of his kegare power but also boosting it with an extra enchantment. In the manga, he doesn't use his kegare arm instead the final hand to hand brawl is literally Rokuro turning full human with immense Yang aura through the help of chibi Abe no Seimei cameo against full kegare form Yuto which is actually Yuto's strongest form. And then in the anime final battle against Yuto, Rokuro manages to use that form much longer but somehow knows how to activate it like a Devil Trigger. I agree on the part that the anime didn't have consistentcy
So basically this is the exact opposite of FMA 2003, which in my opinion is the gold standard when it comes to series that become mostly anime-original. Damn. I could tell something wasn't right; nearly 25 episodes in and the narrative had pretty much come to a dead halt.
Yup, that's a good way of putting it. It actually takes a lot of the same kinds of creative liberties as 03 but it does not pay off at all in this case
@@NINJAMUSHI It's definitely unfortunate. Early on up until the timeskip I was getting a pretty significant D. Gray-Man vibe with a touch of Bleach. Now it's just an unfocused convoluted mess. Time to drop it and read the manga I guess.
Just read ch114 of the manga today and got to say with the scenes you showed and the explanations you gave Im also disgusted at just how they gutted the story of all its flavor, Im lucky I had gone on to youtube and watched this video first before watching the anime else I would've undergone a second adaptation that royally pisses me off.
I'm glad you've enjoyed the manga and I helped prevent the anime from ruining your day!
I randomly found your channel through Chainsaw Man and decided to check out this video out of curiosity. 2 weeks later and I read through all volumes, It has a lot of things that usually annoy me in shonen (or manga in general), but I ended up loving it.
Thank you for introducing me to what is now one of my top favourite manga.
Also damn you for adding another series where I have to sit and wait for monthly chapters.
Aye, I'm glad you ended up really enjoying it and found it among your favorites! I know it's a bit of a hard sell to fans of Chainsaw Man, which is super left field for battle shonen, because Twin Star has a lot more standard tropes and whatnot. But it's just a really lovable series, regardless of how standard some parts are. Welcome to the monthly suffering, it's rough :^)
Literally own 22 volumes of the manga but i will say the anime does have some awesome scene i tend to come back and watch
Have been following the manga for the longest time. One thing I enjoyed the most is probably how freaking powerful those manga kegare are. This always make me on the edge of my seat compare to what the anime shown. Even made me hate monthly release. Plus I feel like it is because of these guy the character get to grow plus Yuta who joined their forces
Spolier:
1. Chinu: This one is basically the kegare goddess and judging for I have seen recently she probably just runaway before you even get to kill her.
2. Sakanashi: remember the beginning of the chapter where he fight Arima, that already shows you how powerful this guy is. He is so powerful he survive the fight meanwhile his opponent did not.
Former 3: this one is from a novel, if I remember correctly this guy is kijin killer, he even stop the homing missile blade of kijin. I think he die due to the combine of Kijin, Suzaku, and Byakko.
3 Gabura: This one is over leveled up Rukuro and a mass killer. Just like former 3, Kijin alone cannot beat him.
4 twintail hijimaru: This one is almost unbeatable during that part of the story. He only die because of that resonance miracle and a lot of fighting.
5 Shiromi one can argue he is on part with 4, due can basically shapeshifter and combine anything. Only die because Arima
6 Kaguya: I remember it is the military uniform lady she was send to kill Benio, well she lost because Benio awaken and Kamui switch side plus awaken.
7 I forgot is it Gaja or shoji I will go with shioji this guy make zombie and can control other kegare. He die because he was caught off guard by Tatara
There’s also a former 7or 8 who Shoji replaced, she is from a spin off manga. That one is a bit weak just creat sleeper zombie to human. She die due to Byakku gang I think that includes Arima.
8 Gaja he is magneto and always survived
9 yuzuhara punch bag and not even awaken Benio beat her
10 Hagano king of lightning he only lost because of dark Benio, plus he only lost not die.
11 Kamui this one I say he survived due to plot
I think monthly release is good for two reasons:
1. It gives the author more time to plan and pace the story perfectly without rushing anything (current arc is fire)
2. Gives us more higher chance for a possible reboot in the future if the manga is good and gets famous.
SPOILER:
I do hope this isnt the last arc cuz seeing kamui and suzu working together with roku has been a treat, and that only symbolizes the begining of kegare and exorcists working together to put out the real threat, the king of impurites. Gaja doesnt have a backstory if irc and gabura is still a complete mess.
gabura super smashed booby girl
@@zacharytan1883 i thinks its already approaching to the climax already
@@zacharytan1883 Well the only things left now are Chinu placing Benio's soul back in and her and Roku fighting KoK and winning through resonance or getting washed and doing a time warp by creating a baby who ends KoK or something, either way it pretty much feels like the end game now
When I first got interested into anime, I liked the ones such as Dragon ball, TTGL, Steins;Gate, JJBA... but I never started reading any manga because I hate reading online and didn't have any physical volumes, once for my birthday my parents went to a comic /manga store and the people there recomended them to buy me TSE.
they bought me the first volume and read it 4 times that day, for now I only have until the 19th volume and im waiting to get the 20th.
This is my very first and favourite manga, and it has a very special place on my heart, rigth next to TTGL (I've even used both of the enmadou clan and the dai gurren dan symbols in my pfp), and to be honest the I was upset about what the anime did to such great manga. I feel like this video explains the best how i felt while whatching the anime.
Finally I'd like to apologize for my poor english.
Thanks for uploading this video, I needed it.
8:45 "They get removed by cubes"
the greatest climax known to mankind
@@NINJAMUSHI only being topped by the death of Yoshikage Kira
One more thing I love how they did the power scaling in the anime because even though in the second episode the two MCs are stated to be the strongest in the east and west they still need to train learn and get their asses kicked so even when the plot armor bs happens it doesn’t feel as bad because they have done training so it doesn’t feel like an ass pull and even when they do ass pulls like benio’s new legs she still trains very hard to be able to use her new legs and has to use a wheelchair for a little bit
Couldn't agree more! I read the manga and watched about 6 episodes of the anime before dropping it. They absolutelly butchered what seemed to be a pretty easy and direct adaptation.
I gotta say, of ALL that's come out in manga in recent years this is one of the few that still captivates me and makes me WANT to read it. I love the art style, the setting, the universe, the fantastic transformations, AND the romance (which in many other cases pushes me away) in this one it actually PULLS me in. Love the manga. Am in the process of trying to find an artbook, and (like I've seen so many others on the internet asking) this series deserves a reebot.
Great video, loved it!
I found the anime complete by chance and liked the first episodes and was really looking forward to seeing where the story was going, then I found this video and was convinced to read the manga and oh lord almighty I do not regret my decision. What I do find regrettable is how the anime just goes down hill like come on the second half of it just feels like a filler arc and then to my surprise turns out not to be a short filler arc but the show's actual plot
I watched the anime very long time ago and by that time didn't even know it had a manga. Ofc i almost forgot everything I saw in the show. But what I clearly remember is, that back than it was on my top 5. I don't get what u haven't liked about it. Even so since I have forgot everything maybe I will go read the manga and see where it gets me. Maybe if the manga is better, since it has already been in my top 5 it could potentially become my top 5 again. Thank u for the video!
Never got more than 15-20 eps into the anime then left it for years so I didn’t know it was adapted differently. Seeing this I’m glad that I started from the beginning in the manga
This is hilarious i loved the anime i here looking for new season updates ,definitely going to check the manga now ,thanks
Glad you were able to get something out of the anime and love it! I assure you that you'll love the manga too!
New season? I gotta say the anime pretty much said "There! It's done. Nothing to continue this one!". A remake? That's what I'm waiting for
this manga is so underrated and even if i search stuff about the late transformations in the manga i cant find shit mannnn :(
Yeah, I've talked with my girlfriend about maybe trying to help grow the wikia to have more up to date information. Really what I hope is to grow my platform and then use it to talk about manga like Twin Star and introduce new fans to those series (Space Brothers is another one I really wanna help grow)
@@NINJAMUSHI tbh except the Manga itself the only way I can find a picture of great yang rokuro or great yin Benino is ur profile pic lol, I think the best way to expose pepole to the Manga is through the Shonen jump + app ( bcz of how accessible it is ) and let me know if I can help!
I have a soft spot for the anime just because it came out during the time I was getting into anime and the OP's were so good. I love it, and haven't read the manga for it despite being mainly a manga reader nowadays.
I absolutely agree with you on the romance it felt slow and forced at times and still was not as good as described in your video though I do love the ending the episodes could have been better used like the episode where Benio’s master forces the two on a date feels like it could have been scrapped or rewritten especially when you know the master is probably only doing this because she wants to have a kid quicker I also hated the whole childhood friend love triangle because you knew the series was about benio and rokoro getting together so no amount out third wheeling or arguing could actually make me believe benio and rokoro weren’t getting together and honestly I am a thousand times more excited to read the manga because of your video
2017 was when the anime series was about to end, and a classmate of mine was raving to me about how good the series is and I should binge it all as the series is ending.
15yo me took one look at the anime and decided to never watch it. Idk how they did it but they made the anime designs look like… plastic. It just falls under that “weird anime design” look that I avoid like the plague so I never even bothered with it.
But in 2019 I was looking for some romance manga to read and came across TSE and thought why not, it could be very different from what I expected. So I gave the available chapters a go, (I think it was up until the final battle against Yuto) and boy, the series did not disappoint.
I’ve been keeping up with the series for the last 4 years, and I just did a reread of all chapters and it just got even better. I’ve never touched the anime, and looking at the clips and explanations you provided I don’t think I’ll ever touch it
Spoiler for later half of the Manga:
I am 100% convinced Yoshiaki saw the Anime and thought: "F*ck no, they ruined my Manga!"
and Just plain made Rokuro + backstory better, Benjo actually stronger, took the anime Basara and made them far better with his changesand overall had better Story and pacing.
heck the VERY new Basara and the Basara Village are just mindblowingly good, world building wise.
Then again i should not be surprised at this point, since so many great series get a sh't adaptation.
Berserk 2018 is Sh*t
Gunjo no Magmell anime didn't even cover the first F*cking Volume and didn't even introduce one of the 3 MAIN PROTAGONISTS, because apparently you can now do something like this?
UQ holder took one of the Main charakters and just cut him and his whole 2 and 1/2 volume Arc (not even starting on Negima)
Whatever the f*ck Terra formars season 2 is supposed to be?
Tokyo Ghoul in general was a trash adaptation.
Promised Netherland season 2
and i got so many other examples, it's just sad honestly.
(no but seriously how the F*ck does something like Magmell even happen?)
I'm just happy someones talking about it at all tbh
That's fair haha. Not a lot of content out there for it
Twin star exorcists is my first anime that I watch. It was the first anime that I seen. Except (idk if this count) shincan and detective conan. So for me this was my fav but the manga is soooo much better. And I know that manga existent is after 2-3 years after finding first anime. Now I just read manga.
Never readed the manga, i just watched the anime out of a random a few years ago recomendation and i personally like it a lot, now i just decided to check out reviews out of curiosity and is kinda funny to me how almost everyone says is a bad adaptation
If you ask me a bad adaptation does not means is a bad product by itself, but i respect your points about quality or the lack of development of certain characters
Agreed
We NEED a *Twin Star Exorcists: Brotherhood!*
TSE was the 18th anime I watched, now I'm on my 222nd anime this anime is still in my top 10 I loved it because of the romance and the cool transformations and fights
I'm glad you were able to like the anime! I would much rather that than the anime turn you off from the series on the whole. If you liked the anime so much, you really owe it to yourself to check out the manga sometime! It has all those elements but goes far more into them; the transformations are cooler and the romance has progressed much further
EHHH the current insanity has been gurren lagaan levels of... wait whats happening now. OOOHHHHOOOHHH it's spiritual Aliens or something
I have been thinking about Twin Star Exorcists lately, which is how I found this video. I watched it YEARS ago but I remember some aspects sticking out to me and I couldn't help but wonder why it didn't take off more. I forgot about most of the show but I figured that was more of a "me" thing and less than an issue, but watching this video- I forgot about the final enemy. Like outright. But I felt like this show had such a good set up. Romance, shonen protag archetype, a lil "13 court guards" type beat. But watching this video, I can very easily see why it never took off. Its chance was shot down before it could even really be launched and its a real shame.
The openings are fantastic though
every time i think of how the anime was done i get angry which bothers me because i watched the anime first i found the manga i was amazed i kept going until i passed the point of the anime and started to fall in love with every character and moment i hope to the heavens that a big name studio looks into it and decides to give it another shot (as little hope that is)
I liked the anime and really wasnt planning to read the manga but this video popped out in my recommendations and before watching it i decided to read the manga.
Thank GOD i did. The manga is way way way different and it's way better. I havent finished it yet i'm still at chap 87.
Thank you for making this video.
Really glad my video helped inspire you to read the manga!!
Just finished with 122. This series is peak.
Sadly I don't have any excuse to hide my depression now so uh...
Do you have any recommendations for anime/manga that are kinda like this one?
I gonna go drop a sub to your second channel man you sold me
Thank you! Appreciate it!
First of thank you for recommending reading the manga your video has definitely piqued my interest secondly not saying the video was horrible or anything I just think I like both the manga sounds and probably is better but the anime was my introduction into this universe and I still experienced all the highs and lows of it and thoroughly enjoyed myself like the part where benio gets her kagare legs it really does work for me because it shows that she has fully moved on from her past in the sense that she fully understands her brother can not ever be redeemed and cares for rokoro enough to make a deal with the person she hates who I think if I remember correctly killed her parents and accept being part kargare the “race” she sees as nothing but vile rokoro being the exception because he was forced to be infected all in order to save rokoro thirdly and again I am in no way discrediting your in my opinion the anime ending slaps even if the manga is better because the anime ending represents the fate our leads were supposed to have and throughout the entirety of the anime they were told the only way they could make the world truly better is if they follow the prophecy that everyone would be saved that the future would be alright but they chose to refuse this primarily because it’s bs to have a kid just to train it to fight that and once the kid would have been born the exorcist would have taken the kid to train it endlessly for duty which they do imply in the anime back on topic though the final enemy is a physical representation of that prophecy and the consequences for not following it everyone including the universe telling them that none of this would have happened if they just followed fate and the two’s defeat of the villain while plot armor bs is cathartic at least to me because it finally proves that they had legitimately broken that fate cast upon them fully no more bs or big threats for now and they can be happy without an issue thirdly I personally do not think the anime version of rokoro is terrible is he as good as the manga version absolutely not could he have been better absolutely but I still loved for example the scene in which you mentioned rokoro telling benio she is weak is not just because he is trying to keep her safe but also he found out he is actually a kagare in that same episode and I think benio still hates kagare at that point can’t remember anyway rokoro was thinking she would be disgusted by him if she found out the truth and that the only reason the miko becomes so powerful is because he or she gets powers from both magano and earth and rokoro will lose his abilities when the baby is born but knowing that rokoro is probably thinking that if he dies then fate gets broken kills yuto and will able to stop himself before going on a rampage just in case it happens and helping “save” more people basically hoping and going on a suicide mission hoping to kill both him and yuto of course he could not tell benio because if she knew she would have stopped him or tried to die with him or something like that and while again rokoro is definitely wrong he is panicking and thinks this is the best solution for everyone and when benio gets there she finally makes him realize that a he doesn’t need to be a sacrificial hero and that b she will love him regardless of him being a kagare or some possible evil and that together rokoro turning evil won’t happen again all that could be a head cannon version of events but that is what they seemed to imply in the final episodes fourth the openings slap especially the final one and finally there daughter for her name was one of the best parts of the anime because she was literally the catalyst for benio and rokoro understanding what it means to be parents and the understanding that their vow to stop the kagare without a kid actually means remember they took that vow at the end of arc 2 because it was bs but they had no idea what they would have to do or what they would have to face for their decision they literally get told and shown multiple times throughout that arc that their decision was stupid and that they both are useless until they have a kid but their adopted daughter is one always telling them that their they got this and helps confront the nah sayers b helps them know what it means to be a parent by getting attached to the kid helping them confront truth about themselves and giving them a bit of peace between the chaos c is a sort of psudeo miko because she has the power to destroy the world and is the anime’s way of saying ok you want to not follow fate fine put your money where mouth is because they not only need to keep the child safe from everyone but are told multiple times I think that it would be better if they just let the exorcist kill the child d when the kid dies it proves the two correct in their decision because she sacrifices herself only because of the love and care benio and rokoro showed her so even though she still died it was her choice not forced upon her and finally rokoro benio and myself crying at her passing is important because not only did we get attached to her but shows that while they can change fate and make things better loss always happens and it sucks but we can always save everyone no matter how much we want to remember the have done all they have done throughout the entire series to save everyone and while sure they may know they can’t it really hits home after the daughter’s death plus her death really helps them understand the resolve they need to uphold their vow and reinforces their decision because they don’t ever want to lose a child like that again again not trying to argue with you or anything like that absolutely 💯 % love your video and do definitely think after watching it the manga is better just trying to say that I think both the anime and manga rock even if the manga is absolutely better
Also sorry for any spelling or grammar errors in my posts or if I am coming across as argumentative that is not my intention I promise please correct me if I got anything wrong haven’t watched the anime again since the final episode was released
I love your opinion !
Thank you!!
Actually there are a lot of ideas that have come from the anime into the manga like you said rokuro's hair color and benio's eye color but also Spoilers:----》
There are a lot of the basara that have come from the anime that have become canon . And ather small details that I can't think from the top of my head.
Edit:Oh Kineko I just watched the part about his character...
Yeah, I've always wondered how Sukeno feels about the anime. I assume he likes it enough to include parts of it into his own story
For me i see the adaptation and manga as 2 routes one where they end up in happy ending the other is the true ending route where its more darker than the last
I'm so glad other people hate the anime as much as I do,,, The manga is one of my all time favorite works and yet I couldn't stand to finish even a few episodes of whatever that adaptation was supposed to be. Twin Star Exorcists deserves so much better of an anime
Bit of a shame, the animation in some of the show's openings looked so good I almost wanted to watch it for that alone. Oh well, I might give the manga a chance.
The openings (especially op 2) are great but yeah, I'd suggest checking out the manga if anything
@@NINJAMUSHI Thanks for the recommendation! It's always nice to see shonen stuff that actually handles romance relatively well, those usually have some of pretty great character interacions.
Oh, God. It's Rosario + Vampire all over again.
Finally.
I've found person who read this manga and make videos about that, I love this manga too.
O-O
Your like.
So fast....
Wow....
@nikitadorychenko1675 LOL. I just happened to be looking at my phone when you commented, so I got notified and hearted your comment.
I'm glad you liked the videos I've made about TSE! I do chapter reviews on my 2nd channel for TSE if those are up your alley! :)
@@NINJAMUSHI Of course!!!!
Thanks to you and your work:)
never seen the anime. no idea the manga even existed. as late as i am, this just convinced me to read this manga! so... yay? :D
Awesome, I'm happy to hear that! I hope you enjoy it!
Good vid I hope it gets a remake like brotherhood
AND THE FILER IS BLOKING THE CANAN
I watched the anime first but when I saw they were going a different route from the manga I dropped and went to the manga, it is one of the best manga I've ever read
Already watched this like a year ago but haven't left any comment lol.
Great work btw!
I know the SnO from the anime and I liked it because I was younger and didn't pay attention much to the story. The aesthetics, RokuBeni's relationship, and Tatara (hell yeah Tatara I love you pls marry me). Later on I found out it's an adaptation and ended up reading the manga after painstakingly searching for it. At that time I don't really pay attention to the difference in story. I do know there are differences.
Then I grew up and joins a SnO group in facebook for a while and gosh do I instantly realize the difference between the two. I ended up rereading the manga only to tell my younger self: "You're a fucking idiot dude". Especially the part you mentioned in the video (Benio holding him back) which makes me horrid. Like bro respects and have adoration towards her and they make him says that?? Damn.
Also they make my man Tatara ugly as hell in anime. Ik his face hasn't been revealed that time but ugh.
Despite all of that, I'm still kinda fond of it. It's the anime that makes me start reading mangas and kicking me deeper into animanga world. Not even Naruto nor Aikatsu has this big impact on my young weeb phase. Also the opening songs are great. I don't remember much about the ending atm. Guess I'll check them out.
Btw did you know that it used to have a mobile game? I played it once back in the time but deleted it cuz it's really shitty lmfao.
edit: Came back from watching the op & ed and all I could say is that it has wayyy better direction than the anime itself. Especially the endings.
I actually read the manga when it only had a handful of chapters back in HS(god I feel old now), and I have been hoodes since. I heard about the anime back when Animax still walked the earth but when I actually sat down to watch I was immediately disappointed.
First of all. I watched the anime and it's one of my favorites. Second
I WANT TO BUY THE MANGA
Like fr i love Sousei no Onmyoji
And since they didn't adapt the Second Arc it makes me want to read the manga more because i haven't read the manga yet
Glad you were able to like it despite me totally hating it, you probably saw parts of what I love about the manga within the anime. You should for sure check out the manga! Only 1 of the 8+ current arcs were adapted, so there's a ton to dig into!
The anime is phenomenal it knows how to keep you drawn in and it for sure does not feel rushed there's not very many anime that like to compact 50 episodes in the one season my favorite character was sae when I was generally heartbroken when she turned back into the tree the animation is unique definitely a 9 out of 10 for sure needs a reboot
we may rate the anime by a difference of 7 entire points-it's barely a 2/10 for me-but I will respect your opinion for what it's worth haha
@@NINJAMUSHI What didn't you like about it
I... made a 30 minute video about what I didn't like about it. The same video you're commenting on right now? I mean, to sum it up, just about everything. The animation, story, characters, fights-it was all pretty bad
Finally let's go
Finally indeed! I'm so glad it's out now hahah
@@NINJAMUSHI just finished and I really liked this video, it's wonderful and really helps sell why the manga is so so good!! Amazing job as always!!
I will be real i like the anime. Its what got me into the series and the manga i do hope they give it a reboot followings the manga
I've been reading the manga, up to vol 20. atm. And man, the difference. It feels like were as the anime started to resemble the manga by the end, just somehow not as depressing which is saying a lot given how it goes, volumes 15-20 really went heavy. Also the Basara are absolutely relentless, which was something I heard was a major issue with the anime were they turned into chumps. The one upside to the manga, as heavy as it gets, I'm glad the guardians to show their stuff far more than the anime rather than what happened to them around the animes end which while sad, felt more like a plot convenience. The only thing I can give the anime over the manga
- Sae: Found her to bring out Rokuo and Benio well.
- OST: The Twin Star theme, Benio's Dance, Sorrowful fight etc
- Subaru's earlier appearance: Subaru's my favorite guardian and maybe even my fave character, in fact her moments in the anime were half the reason I watched the anime early on, hoping I could see more of her. And I read the manga too just to possibly see more of her. Though ironically the manga so far has maybe even less appearances for her compared to the anime giving 2 were she plays a big part in some way. Though judging by what I've seen online, and what was shown in vol 20, we'll get far more to her than the anime character and power wise.
If they remake the anime to be more manga faithful, having certain guardians like Subaru appear earlier.
YOOOOO SOMEONE REMEMBERED IT!!!! THE MANGA IS FIRE!!!
Absolutely!! The manga is a top tier favorite of mine!
@@NINJAMUSHI Too bad it has monthly releases and it always ends on a big cliff hanger leaving me sceptical about the next chapter, unfortunately though not many people know about it and i cant really discuss about this manga as much as i want to. Really good video btw
Yeah I feel that. It's not super popular so I only have my girlfriend and 1 other friend who I talked with about it with. The new chapters have been super hype though! I love getting to do chapter reviews for them because I can look back at my reaction anytime haha. And thank you!!
@@NINJAMUSHI No problem! You're actually a very big inspiration believe it or not, you put a lot of work and effort to make banger videos about manga, i too want to entertain people and review manga like you one day, its the thing I've always been passionate about!
Thank you, that's very kind of you :) I wish you the best of luck if you decide to ever make reviews!!
If there's one thing Pierrot is good at, it's the anime opening.
As someone who never read the manga and watched this anime when i just started getting into the medium all together ,i think it was fine ,without knowing about the manga its an enjoyable decent show ,i think its pretty harsh to criticize the animation and consistency tho ,doing 50 episodes weekly for a studio that either was finishing Naruto or starting Boruto its stressful as hell ,so its not surprising that the art suffered ,even studios like Toei that do mostly one show all year still have problems doing consistent good animation on a weekly ,i agree with the sentiment about the story and character dynamics but i think the studio's should have some leeway when it comes to doing 2 shows at the same time .
i agree it really went off with the anime
manga is different truely diff but it still good
I really want to watch TSE adaptation by manga so bad right after what sukeno keep update it 😭🤧
Same
While i only read the manga after i saw this video and do definately think its FAR better than the anime, i still like the anime if only because i get to hear Yu Narukami from persona 4 talk to Patamon from digimon adventure, T.K. from digimon adventure tri/last evolution kizuna, and a person who's voice really reminds me of Impmon/Veemon's voice from Digimon Tamers and Digimon Adventure 02 respectively.
If it can have a reboot and another studio would you want it to be: Bones, A-1 Pictures, WIT Studios, Seven Arcs, Passione, Lerche, Eight Bit, Studio VOLN, Bridge, White Fox, David Production, Studio Gokumi, or Okuruto Noboru?
Bones would be great if they actually put their all into it, WIT would probably be alright, I love JoJo but I don't think I'd want David Pro, the studios like Lerche I would not want for sure, probably not A-1 though that wouldn't be the worst. Trigger could* be cool, MAPPA would be alright but I don't think that's the fit for TSE. Honestly, my pick would probably be just Bones if they're on their A game
Thank you for your reply, but I don't put MAPPA nor Trigger in my Question.@@NINJAMUSHI
Sorry? Was just listing out a few studios that came to mind since I don't particularly care about most of the studios you mentioned.
Great video and it reminded me of how much I liked the manga but hated the anime. I looked it up and the anime had 22 outsourced episodes which explains why so many look off-model and bad. There's also the potential reason as to why it got 50 episodes and I believe its just a TV Tokyo thing. Soul Eater also had similar problems(except for the production issues) as it also aired on TV Tokyo with them being on the top of the production committee. TV Tokyo has a thing for long running anime and the Shaman King reboot is another example, so is Ahiru no Sora. Naruto/Boruto, Bleach, D.Gray-man, Black Clover, Pokemon, Yugioh, Gintama, and Fairy Tail are more examples of longer running anime on TV Tokyo which were probably used on specific timeslots. Pierrot isn't innocent since they accepted the job, but TV Tokyo has the biggest responsibility. I'm still wishing for a reboot but not with Tv Tokyo and Pierrot involved.
The anime opening song is
amazing.
In my case I dropped the anime but after watching this video I'm willing to give a chance for the manga.
People say it started to early but d.gray man started 2 years after it started and they where both monthly series
Twin stars was 3 years
I enjoyed the anime well enough but when I found that the manga was better, I really wanted to read it but the thing is that my attention span is so horrible, and ontop of that, black and white pictures make it even harder for me to concentrate. I did read a few chapters though and I really enjoyed what I read
I've finished watching the anime and I just realized that there is a manga of it
I want to read the manga but is the story of the manga and anime different?
Very, very different. I explain that in the video lol
At least starting after the first final battle with Yuto, it’s a growing huge gap you wouldn’t believe they’re the same series
I personally think the part where he tries doing it alone and fails is actually good if not better than the manga
He tries to fight the brother on his own and gets beaten the crap out of until she gets there and they finish the brother together showing him that no matter how much he wants to he can't do it alone with some tweaks it would be a much better (scene? Or chapter? Idk how its named)
Just by looking at the manga, it’s more unique than the anime. They should really continue making an anime where they keep the original art.
Yeah, I wish I had pushed more on comparing the art direction of the anime with the art of the manga, because it's a pretty drastic difference
The reason I stopped watching anime and stick to reading manga Is the Disservice they did with Tokyo Ghouls and TSE.
please please please do more content about tse i really need more youtube content of it
I have some plans for next year. :)
The anime literally destroyed the manga.....it made a negative impact on the manga
not wrong, at least in the sense that I think a good adaptation would've helped the manga's popularity a lot more than this one.
I'm still kind of confused why it even happened. I can't imagine the author was actually ok with it but I can't find anyone commenting on it. Just seems like the anime studio completed commandeered the IP to create an original work without having to build a foundation.
It's so obvious that they didn't consult the author due to the fact it becomes a generic battle shounen. Also the fact that the story didn't focus on the romance when that's nearly the entire point of the story. Nearly every part of Twin Star Exorcist is supposed to reinforce and works towards building the two main characters relationship. Which that's personally why I'm a little iffy on the current direction of the manga. Feels like the author is trying to play catch up with themselves and we've had quite a few chapters of just attempting to clean up plot threads.
At least with Full Metal Alchemist it's obvious there was author input. They just took the idea in a different direction. Which you get a similar vibe with the FMA movies. Here, it's not even the same story.
This anime deserves a reboot for the anime!!!!!
The only good things bout the Twin Star anime was the openings and endings
Whit out seeing the video I'm just going to defend the anime because I liked it so much it got me into the manga
I mean, that's fair. No need to defend anything, you can like whatcha like. Nothing about this video is meant to take your enjoyment away. I'm only expressing my own personal experience, which was quite negative.
Going to watch it later just downloaded it I just have to study now
This was one of the first anime I ever watched after SAO. I honestly still feel cheated when I found out just how derailed the anime went versus the manga. If I had watched it at any point after I got into anime, I would have been extremely disappointed, but at least my first watch through was a blast.
I dropped the anime real quick when it first came out, and the manga sounds like what i actually expected from it. I'll go give it a read.
bad adaptations are tragic. danmachi has so much of it rushed to shit, the emotional moments in the anime just dont hit. season 4 seems to be taking its time at least, adaptating the beat arc.
the upcoming adaptation of ragna crimson is probably the worst though. not much has been shown but a manga with that much pure action being adapted by silver link will not work.(the first poster looked like shit too). its a real shame, it would benifit so much from good animation. If it had to pick between csm and ragna crimson for a mappa adaptation, it would definitely be ragna crimson.
I'd sacrifice some of my favorite anime just to have a good adaptation of TSE, so I feel that lol. A good adaptation can just really help a manga's popularity and legacy. Hope you enjoy it if you give it a read!
@@NINJAMUSHI idk how they managed but on chapter 6 and the page count is still 40+.
enjoying it a lot, 8/10 rn since the fights feel a little flat but Its fine as long as the romance gets going.
Awesome! Super happy to hear that. I actually wasn't super duper sold on it until about 5 volumes in (thought it was like a 7/10) but I saw the potential in it and kept with it. Hope you continue to enjoy it!
Wasnt abeno seimi the one that sealed the kegare king in the abyss ?
Yes, but the anime was produced during the time “Kegare King” hadn’t been mentioned or showed in the manga so as far as the anime concerned Abe no Seimei was the only possible twist villain
I also agree they really butcher......sorry.....*undermined* the story and Rokuro Benio's Relationship by involving Kinako right from the beginning. Dude, I was so surprised when I started to read the manga and Kinako never appeared not until Rokuro arrived in Tsuchimikado island without Benio and hell he's not even as unbareable as he is in the anime. Compare to his anime counterpart, manga Kinako is way more supportive and bonded with Rokuro than his anime counterpart being a Benio fanatic.
Another thing they undermined is Kamui's arc with Benio and how he became the role of rival to Rokuro. Instead they made his character so bland he only wants a good fight that he only appears when the manga at the time (because definitely during production, the manga hadn't reached that chapter yet) showed him which was Benio's emotional struggle chapter and right at the final episodes fighting Abe no Seimei.
Another thing they undermined is the sheer cruelness of Arima's character as the leader of Exorcists. He's not always the clown of the story, he's the joker and heisenberg of the story. He cracks jokes and lame humor but when things are getting serious or when Rokuro Benio being too stubborn or jeopardize their values to him he will get serious even as far as silencing them with just a stare
Manga is unreal…Perriot just HAD to work its magic
Do you guy think Twin Star Exorcists will ever get a remake?
You know, I loved the anime so much that I binge watched it and cried. I am choosing to not watch the video(I live in my echochamber of love and happiness, no offense to you at all I'm sure you are correct based on what I'm seeing) and adding the manga to my to read list.
It's weird to see people hating on the anime, but I've learned long ago that my opinions on anime are considered controversial, (see profile picture(its one of my favorite shows))
And that's totally fine, I support people loving what they love. It's like I say at the end of the video, I wish I could feel any sort of love for it myself. That said, if you did love the anime so much, I do strongly encourage you to read the manga because it has everything you might have loved in the anime and takes it much further! Hope you are able to enjoy the manga as well when you get to it!
@@NINJAMUSHI I honestly wasn't expecting a reply based on this being a year old, so I was just shouting into the void of the internet at 3 am after a bingefest of anime, trying to cram in as much as I can from my crunchyroll free trial.
Now that I'm like properly awake, I definitely will check out the manga when I'm able to.
I completely understand your stance since I'm like that with the original FMA series. People praise it pretty often and I admit the style is great and I wish I could've loved the new story given to it, but something about it always felt off to me about the story, even before I had consumed any other fma material.
Thanks for taking the time to reply to my silly comment, I really appreciate it.
As someone who first watched the anime: I really enjoyed watching it the first time I did, after reading the manga, I couldn’t watch after the first cour of season 1
Just completed the anime but i have decided to the read the manga after this video 😅❤
I hope you enjoy it!!!
I satrted readin the Manga a long time ago some time before the Anime, but I don't know why I stopped since I remember liking it, but now I can't rememeber where I left.
Can someone help? What I remember last reading is the First time we see the Boy MC turn into this White-Light-God-Like or whatever form during a fight and the Girl MC being like ":0" standing in some stairs if I remember correclt. With everyone surprise about him "uleashing" that power or something like that.
You were at the early parts of the 2nd arc. You should probably just start at volume 6 to catch back up to where you were and what was going on in the story
@@NINJAMUSHI Oh! Wasn't expecting such a Quick response specially on the Video being 1 year old! Cool! Thanks~
@@NINJAMUSHI I checked and Volume 6 is Around Episode 20, I could swear I was more advance than that im Chapters, but its been so long that maybe I'm confuse, so whatever. I will do as you said.
The one good thing the anime has is Suzu. I'm still grateful to the mangaka that they include her in manga.
bruh i liked the anime but never finished it, i made it to the part were the girl gets the demon legs. and if the anime is TERRIBLE then i cannot wait to see what the manga holds
If Twin Star Exorcist can have another Studio can it be Bones, A-1 Pictures, GEEKTOY, or WIT Studio
Dude that 7.3 out of 10 for the anime is way too generous, the only good thing about it was the openings.
Make a video comparing the 80’s comic run and 2003 titans
I don't know anything about that, so that won't be happening, unfortunately
@@NINJAMUSHI sorry, there were a lot of changes that I absolutely despise do like cutting out Grant Wilson
I remember the anime fondly and i still like it for what it is.
This is very well made video and have valid points.
But eh. All I'll say is that we could've gotten something way worse like TPN s2 where its completely unwatchable.
Promised Neverland Season 2 is actually appalling, but I'd argue this is just as offensive and multiple times longer. That said, it's fair you liked the anime and I hope you check out the manga if you haven't yet!
If u like the romance from tse then u might like the manga takane and hana, similar setup for the romance, similar comedy, only main difference is that one of them is 18+ and one is a minor. (Maybe ignore the last point)
I'm still hoping the anime gets a remake and they'll follow the manga!!!
Time to remake the anime...but like, remake the anime and make it good, not follow the manga. *Trollface*
