Berserk really needs a quality anime release. I also would like Suzuka, Ichigo 100%, and a lot of seinen mangas to be animes, but it isn't going to happen.

Anyways, I prefer manga to anime in the first place. :P

Yeah, yeah, I know the topic was manga, and Tsukihime's a visual novel. Maybe better served as a series of movies like Kara no Kyoukai, though.




Cause there is no Tsukihime Anime.

Air Gear. To actually add something to the conversation.

Yet another example of a series GONZO has raped up the ass repeatedly. The manga is actually interesting, and actually has a plot. The anime randomly took some of those points, covered it in a nonsensical barrage of pantyshots, and revised the rest of points. Some of the storylines were completely butchered and then left in the dust (i.e. the entire second half of the original manga run, and most of the plot of Season II*; the first season of the anime looked like maybe it was going to follow the plot, but then veered off into left field and Capu2...don't even get me started on Capu2).

*to be fair, Season II does seem to be stagnating badly, but it's still better than what passes for the anime - and it does look like some development is on the horizon.


unfortunately a lot of the short 12 ep throwaway series are like this, based on interesting mangas that are good enough to warrent an anime but apparently not popular enough to put any amount of effort into them.


I believe that in this case it was more related to GONZO doing shit work again rather than being a short-on-ep-count issue...

I wouldn't say that the anime sucked. Personally, I thought it was one of the closer-to-the-manga anime that I've seen in awhile.
The only downside is that it ended not even halfway through the manga series (because at the time, the manga had gone up to only Volume 6 by the time they were at the last episode.)
They COULD animate the rest of the series if they wanted to, but apparently in an interview, one of the main directors or something said that animating it originally was such an unbelievablly hard task before, that he wouldn't want to put them through that again.
Total bull in comparison to the anime standards today, but I digress. ._.

Kare Kano.

A book that changed my life in subtle but powerful ways was "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Sounds lame, I know. I couldn't suggest it more to people who aren't People persons". I'm still not one, I just know what it takes to fake it well now.

The manga was honestly the first *fiction* book/book-series I have read that changed my outlook on life like the above book did. It's crazy and I never thought it would happen... I just know that Soichiro's backstory hit me in really personal ways. I actually related to how he was written on a very personal level. It changed my outlook and attitude on things just enough...

You know, now that I have said that, maybe I don't want an anime done "correctly". I'd hate to see them screw up what I actually took to heart.

If nothing else, I'd love to see some OVAs of this. the R/B/G saga is my favorite aspect of Pokemon, period. I havent read the anything beyond Yellow yet, so I can't say how good they are, but If they are as good as the first two sagas, then they'd probably do just as well edited.

I bet Arbok-cutting would get censored though.

You guys need to remember, not all manga deserves an anime adaptation. Some manga should just stay manga, and some anime need to stay anime. But if I need to give an answer, I'd say that FMA needed to be redone. I don't care if they made "Brotherhood" more like the manga, it should have been done from the start.
