I've been massively impressed by how much of a quallity adaptation the Beastars series has been, to the point that I think it definitely improves on several aspects of the manga. What are some of the best adaptations you've seen of a similar level, in your estimations? Subs or dubs is fine, but the dub had better be quality. I had actually switched between the two before deciding that the Beastars original VOs were much, much better. Kokoro Wish fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Mar 18, 2020 |

I have found myself still recommending people read the manga from the start because there's just something about the ridiculous goofy-rear end faces Paru draws when she does low-detail versions of the characters, like Haru with dot eyes like :3 and such, imo it adds a ton of character to them. but the anime is also extremely good too and adds a ton of character to them with the animation. both are fantastic

DamnGlitch posted:So I jumped on that Jin Patreon... does anyone know a good way to read this on patreon? It's not especially straightforward. Youtube-dl supposedly lets you scrape from Patreon (using your proper credentials, so it's not piracy), but I haven't been able to get it to work. Do tell me if you can get it working. Can you tell me what's on his afterword? I'd like to know if he plans to release more manga there any time soon, because I can probably catch up real fast considering this citywide lockdown we're on, and he hasn't updated since posting that in January. It would be nice if it had some assurance of new content on there.

Welcome to the NHK was originally a novel, then it got a manga adaptation that added a bunch of arcs, heavily reworking the character's characterization, backstory, and gave the whole thing a different tone, along with an original ending. The anime, on the other hand, is a really interesting blend of the two, keeping the main plot of the novel and its characterization of the characters, but adding in earlier arcs of the manga, which it uses to flesh out the cast to good effect and gives more meat to the series as a whole. It's my favorite of the three adaptations, and honestly just one of my favorite anime of all time.

Endorph posted:Kino no Tabi 2003 is an amazing adaptation that takes what works about the original novel and emphasizes it while dropping stuff that doesn't work. If you want a comparison, look at the more recent Kino anime, which is a decent adaptation of a decent novel series but doesn't really come close to the 2003 anime. Some of the stories are reused from the first series, and it really highlights the difference in writing quality. It's not bad, but the first series really is much better at storytelling. I'd say Hellsing Ultimate, dubbed, is the best rendition of Hellsing. Each OVA's just transcribing a volume of the manga, and doing a fantastic job of it. Though the Abridged version is actual legit great too.

It takes a good while to get going, but hoo-boy is the payoff worth it once it gets up to speed. The Richard Braun arc is some of the tensest television I've ever seen. You know how it's going to end for him. There's zero chance of it going any other way chasing Johann like so many before him. And yet it just keeps going towards that inevitable conclusion and you're just watching each episode to see if this will be the one where the other shoe finally drops... If you liked Monster, you'll probably love Steins;Gate. The dub is fantastic too.

I finished watching Iruma-kun while exercising and really enjoyed it. Iruma was fun to root for, and both the opener and closer were pretty solid songs to amp up and peddle to. I always watched them, and made them part of the routine. What are some other good, relatively light anime to watch while on an exercise bike? A straightforward story like Iruma-kun has is appreciated, as I would prefer things not be contingent upon missing some small detail while I am trying to sweat.

maybe azumanga daioh? it's very lighthearted, though some parts have not aged well, and there's really nothing super important you might miss. I wish I could recommend My Monster Secret's anime because the manga is so goddamn good but they dropped the ball unbelievably hard with the anime version and it's a cryin' shame. if you've got netflix, little witch academia might be up your alley. it's one of the better trigger offerings. someone who has seen it can vouch for it more, but I have heard The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is excellent. and of course there's cute girls doing cute things in K-ON!

Appreciate the suggestions all. I'll definitely look into some of them. I've seen some of Nichijou, and don't think it would really be the best thing to exercise to. All of the other suggestions are unknown to me though, so I'll check them out. I did just finish watching Somali, but definitely not as an exercise anime. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and parts of the show definitely had me tearing up. The art style and weird world reminded me a lot of Made in Abyss, but instead of torturing kids it focused more on protecting the kid. It did have some difficult to believe coincidences, and the relationship between humans and beasts seemed a bit forced at times. I did't find those aspects to detract from my enjoyment too much though. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Mar 31, 2020 |

For light and fun anime, I recommend Tonari no Seki-kun. It revolves around a boy named Seki and a girl named Rumi and their completely oblivious teacher. Instead of listening or studying, Seki brings something to class to waste time, be it cats or beach sand or whatever. Rumi usually gets caught up in Seki's shenanigans and it's quite amusing.
