"Read the manga/source material. It's better."

Why is it that anime adaptions almost never follow the original source to a T?

Time constraints, budget constraints, media constraints.

filler

Because they are different mediums with different strengths and weaknesses.

Also ghost in the shell Anime > manga

not every anime can be as perfect as naruto

Because anime is made to fool people into consuming inferior versions of good media.

1:1 adaptations are shit. They're as artistically useless as note for note covers of songs. imagine if John carpenter's the thing was a shot for shot remake of the 1951 film. What's the point? You have anime as an opportunity to approach an idea eith the advantages it as medium provides, and then you just make the same shit that already exists.

What do you consider to a T?
A lot of TV adaptations today are almost 1to1 panel to shot. What's your specific gripe? where do you think its failing to follow the source?

Animu companies realized the best selling anime don't even bother animating so why try?

The extra sales you get from a well animated anime are not worth the money it takes to get that quality.

Different mediums require different approaches.

Probably tight budgets are the reason why.

Because most of the time it's not possible. Trying to translate one form of media to another without losing anything is virtually impossible, because each form of media carries its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of how information is conveyed to an audience.

Why did Game of Thrones move past the Manga? Quality has def dipped

...There's a GoT manga?

This is objectively true.

It's on never-ending hiatus.

He's shitposting, but it did move past the books and basically became a bad lord of the rings for manchildren.

Are there any examples of anime that went ahead of the manga? It seems like a bad idea and it was definitely a bad idea for GoT to move ahead

FMA 2003
Claymore

FMA is arguably the most famous example.

Well Claymore just put an anime-only ending on it but eh

Manga-to-Anime adaptations are always way closer to their source material than adaptations of any other medium ever are.

Did that go shitty? Actually was about to start watching that and I didn't get the difference between brotherhood and the original. Just heard that FMA did some weird stuff

Because they're made by talentless hacks that want to have some creative input in what they make but they're not creative enough to make an original series.

Trigun was pretty good, I haven't read the manga yet though.

The new season is doing exactly that and nothing more, which is why it's so fucking bad.

Which are worse, light novel adaptations or manga adaptations?

you don't listen to the lies of sourcematerialfags, I hope

I can't only think of like 2 good light novel adaptions

Web novel adaptations.

VN adaptations.

Because if you're making a 1:1 adaptation of something then really there's no point in making it at all.

I think LN adaptations are generally trash because the LNs that get adapted are trash.

Money. There's tons of people that will only watch anime and won't read manga. But I guess they wouldn't care how close an adaptation is. But by that same logic what's the point of adapting something only to change it into something it's not? Why not make something original instead? The answer is that you have something to start with rather than having to come up with everything from scratch. In both cases though there's really no reason for the adaptation to exist besides that there are people that exist that will watch it regardless of how bad it is. Doesn't always translate to sales though.

There are plenty of times where an interpretation will improve upon the original work or concept and it happens in every genre.
Ghost in the Shell is probably the best case for this. It popularized the entire cyberpunk genre. The anime is a full blown successor to the manga. The mangas read more like a free-flow of ideas bouncing from the a big concept to the minute workings of a specific detail.
The animes in contrasts were developed with cohesive plot beats and drove towards fairly specific conclusions while leaving philosphical and futurist questions hanging on the audience's minds.
The live action movie was a big budget cash in of the entire things condensed by very western writers for the lowest denominator international audience.

>Ghost in the Shell popularized the entire cyberpunk genre
The manga came out years after several essential entries in the genre, let alone any of the anime adaptations.

you tell me which is gonna turn out shittier.
