The first half of clannad is bad because to first 60-70% of every Key VN is fucking terrible to read. As far as when we are finishing rewrite, it will be several weeks after that marker says 100% that we actually release the patch, maybe as much as a month. That only means scripting is done, we still have to do inserts, editing, and two beta tests. | ||

I thought FSN was okay, just a bit disjointed or rushed or something. Quite can't phrase it right. Fate Zero way better. Is Tsukihime any good? And wait Kurisu was considered bad in the Steins Gate anime? And Clannad afterstory was only considered okay? Woahh maybe I should try reading VNs... | ||

But as a general rule of thumb, VN adaptions are seldom as good as their source + Show Spoiler + (IS THAT AN ACCEPTABLE WAY OF SAYING IT ELEM?

I thought the F/SN anime was horrible, but most people in this thread are biased because they dislike the canon Heaven's Feel route from the VN. To clarify, the VN has three "routes," but the third is universally considered canon while the first two are considered "what if" type stories. The anime really only details the first, most straight-forward and bland route, while the third (HF) is more a continuation of Fate/Zero. Fate/Zero on the other hand is from a book, so there is no VN, and is also written by a different author (Urobuchi Gen, who generally belonged to Nitro+, which in an amusing little connection for this discussion is one of the two companies behind Chaos;Head and Steins;Gate). I loved Clannad, but I'm apparently a sucker for slice of life and tearjerkers. VN adaptations tend to struggle because VNs individually usually have more textual content than novels and come with a lot of "tricks" that cannot be performed as well via a book medium. After all, we're looking at an industry that catastrophically fails whenever presented with source material with more depth than a 200-page Middle School level book. The vast majority of VN adaptations then end up being adaptations of standard School RomCom Harem stuff. The ones that are actual quality source material that ARE picked up tend to also be picked up by said companies that are willing to grab the school RomCom stuff, because the stigma of being a porn game tends/tended to shy people away. That trend is obviously slowly being changed, but at the same time some of the better VN works have either already been taken or are basically impossible to animate. Hence the dilemma of Little Busters, where so many people pined for an anime, but it was always waved off by KyoAni due to its impossible nature. So then it gets picked up... by a much reviled studio. The end result you can imagine. Tsukihime anime was horrible, again for similar reasons as the F/SN anime, except that the Tsukihime VN was less of a start-to-finish affair and thus is even rougher to storyboard/animate. As a result you get an entire season of a single, bland route, which is fantastic for lore/background purposes but is useless in the context of a VN adaptation. There were if I remember correctly six routes, each of which diverged significantly from each other, and as a sum gave insight into the Tohno household and the world. Combined with ineffective storyboarding and horrible production quality you get something that many would rather carry on as if it never existed. A surprisingly good anime adaptation was OreTsuba (Oretachi ni Tsubasa ha Nai), despite it having some of the more nasty storyboarding obstacles in VNs. I would still highly recommending reading it instead if the possibility exists (I'm not very knowledgeable about translations), but if it is not possible, and you're not willing to wait however many years it may take, or don't intend to read anyways, then watching it is perfectly fine. | ||

I haven't even watched it, and I still can't stand SAO. Don't worry. KiteSeekers-Wasurenai will pick it up once they're done with the other Milky Holmes 2. | ||

Asuna is great. The first half of SAO is decent. SAO is overrated entry-level anime. The hate is warranted. (even if slightly overblown, since ''hardcore'' anime fans have anime as their one defining thing in their lives and thus tend to get very zealous about showing their superiority in tastes and time spent watching it) | ||

Also the world divergence number meter thingy from s;g was shown at the beginning of r;n. I don't read things about things, sorry if this is a dumb question. I believe it's the same world but the "universes" differ (events are distinct and unconnected), not sure though. | ||
