    That Shikamaru scene is a gold-standard for how to do things. The whole episode itself, really, sets a bar for how to handle emotional subjects and tense slow-paced moments.

    Kyoto Animation's directors (including Takemoto who unfortunately passed away) seem to be very aware of this, all of their adaptations take some liberties with the manga in order to make it work as an anime. It's not just K-ON : Hyouka, Violet Evergarden and Hibike are also great and make the most of their medium by using character acting and experimental visuals when appropriate. Hell, even Musaigen Phantom World is surprisingly good.
    And more recently, Cloverworks has made an absolute gem out of Bocchi's 4-koma, the care given to the anime adaptation is insane. Comedy manga adaptations are so hit & miss because of the timing, but Bocchi not only nailed that but also went above to give us one of the best anime this year.

    I think the most important thing as a manga reader is to not underestimate the anime audience, and to appreciate how much work goes into the most average of anime production. There is always going to be nuance that is lost when adapting a manga. Something I ask myself now whenever I get a little annoyed at something being cut from the anime is if a tone or theme is still able to translate effectively and be understood by the audience, since that's what's most important. This attitude has helped me in judging if an anime adaptation has done justice to the source material, and actually convince friends to read manga. Treating a manga as a more nuanced and detailed version of the story is more effective than just saying it's "better" because it's all subjective to how well the individual responds to the medium

    I think one of the biggest points he touched on was staying faithful to the source material. A good example of this is Soul Eater. The manga does a much better job of explaining and going more in depth of how soul resonance works, while the adaptation kinda brings it up briefly as something new happens but doesn't really break it down fully. Not to mention a huge moment in the manga- when we get to see Maka's Piano Scythe form- was completely nixed from the ending of the show and changed to something that more fit the narrative of the adaptation. But all of this doesn't change the fact that I've rewatched the anime many a time. So adaptation's can do right by doing their own thing pulled away from the source material- but they need to make sure that the audience is gonna like it just as much as the source material, if not better, so that it doesn't get blown back in their face.

PERFECT Example is OG Rurouni Kenshin when Kenshin says goodby to Kaoru to leave for Kyoto (See Kyoto Arc) where they are surrounded by fireflies. The whole scene is dynamic, emotional, engaging, and I sobbed like a freaking child. Did it follow the manga perfectly? Nooooooooo. It IMPROVED upon an already existing scene to create something even better while staying true to the spirit of the manga. That's what I want to see more of.

The opening took over a minute, and the recaps were about 7 minutes long to top all off One Piece, a single chapter of the anime and sometimes less. By the end of Dressrosa, I was done watching the anime, and I switched over to the manga, and it was like heaven. Now, every week, I'm just hyped for the next chapter. I still occasionally go back to the anime, but I'm still behind on it.

    The thing about anime adapted from light novels, is the story is almost always better than those adapted from manga. Juuni Kokuki is an amazing anime, and it works because there's so much world-building, and character building in the novels. Also when done right, light novel adaptations can be beautiful, precisely because the animators have more freedom to come up with their own designs. They have a "script" but they get to decide how it looks. This means the animators are truly contributing more of their own creativity to the work, than just basically coloring in an existing storyboard from the manga.

    When I played Steins;Gate for the first time, I couldn't help but applaud how ingenious it is that this game gives you a chuunibyou and an unreliable narrator for so much of its playtime. The world was introduced to you by someone who claimed to be an evil scientiest talking into a phone where you couldn't hear the other side of the talk until you realize, that there is actually no voice. Also the whole lecture of Kurisu about realistic ways of time traveling and what the problems are in Rintaros university was great and added a lot to the understanding how time travel later worked.
    And when the anime was recommended to me as one of the best anime adaptations ever, I can't tell you how frustrated I was that none of this was in the anime. However, I really loved it that all the original voices were still the same.
    Oh and sometimes I prefer the adaptations like Demon Slayer or Made in Abyss because of their soundtrack. (Yuki Kajiura and Kevin Penkins in these two examples)

      @@layzy24 If you want to empathize with real sounding pain and agony from the characters the japanese dub will break you (if you have mental health problems, be careful). And I will wholeheartedly agree on the take of the anime being better than the manga. I caught up to both two weeks ago and can say the anime adds valuable "filler" and rearranges and corrects the pacing for certain scenes within Season 1 where the manga just _flies_ by. S2 is a complete different experience at the beginning even when compared to the manga because of rearranging. Keep in mind nothing is lost or added to the story in S2, it just starts off better. The OST is done by none other than Kevin Penkin and he created his Magnum Opus right then and there. After S1 you watch Movie 3 (Dawn Of The Deep Soul) and follow up with S2 (Movies 1&2 are recaps of S1 with 5 minutes total of new animation, not worth watching the movies just for that). Also there's an optional OVA episode and an OVA short series that both can be watched after Movie 3 if you need a break from the insanity.

For example, Konosuba is a great series and it was rather well adapted. But you know what is a tiny thing that was added that wasnt canon to the source material? The "Yes yes Im Kazuma." Line. In the anime its something you may miss because its quick but it somehow feels natural. The VA for Kazuma understood him so well he improved a line that really would be something the character would say in the original work.

The Clover Works has elevated a very niche manga to something with mass appeal using means only really possible in animation, which is really impressive. The wellspring of creativity present in the gags isn't its only strong suit. An often less noticed aspect of the anime adaptation is the way it amplifies the emotional moments, and climactic performances are very moving.

    Sometimes, you need to get the manga so that there can be an anime. If the source material doesn't sell, you'll never get an anime. And the anime can be so important to keep the series running. More interest means more exposure.
    I love manga because of its presentation of the story and how it can have so much time to develop characters and story arcs. And i love anime because it can show fights in a cohesive way and make it more intense, along with the creative liberties it can take. Music and good casting can elevate the story so much.

      I'm a big fan of that 3rd one. The anime adaptation of 86 was so good I started reading the LNs. Found out later that the author was involved in the making of it, which made SO much sense.

      You know what I do? Only watch anime that have finished airing. I have close to 300 on my plan to watch so I don't have to worry about running out of anime to watch. Yes I don't watch seasonal anime as they come out but since I don't really talk about anime with people anyway I like doing it this way. I definitely get that my solution does not work for everyone though.

    I really hope Gigguk is famous enough or well enough connected that anime studios hear this and his other amazing messages on the media. All of his videos are like passionate love letters to the industry that could better illustrate what the hardcore and casual fans are looking for.

      as if 1 wannabe anime fan with a UA-cam channel is enough to convince animation studios from listening to his comments on how to make GOOD adaptations or GOOD anime in general
      he has shit tastes in anime/manga and he thinks people are influenced by his content? nah, everyone is entitled to their own tastes... it's just his are bad lol
