If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg For currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net | ||

 I always just figured ADT was the place for ln and manga discussion if it wasn't one of the few series that already has its own thread. On May 08 2015 00:16 BLinD-RawR wrote: I briefly considered creating a consolidated MDT thread much like the ADT but decided against it seeing as there won't be enough real discussion and pretty much any good manga will eventually get a thread of its own. most of my manga discussion happens here anyway, plus I wouldn't want a thread to be filled with goody's weird manga reports. as for vortok, LoGH is a series that needs to be watched, I don't think there is any other way you could get enjoyment from it outside of actually getting your hands on the novels, as inconvenient as it may be for you. Should we make a JWWW thread that only you, me, and 1 other person would post in? Lol | ||

Yes, it's looking that way. I don't mind watching an anime in the long run if it's a good series and other options are either not available, not particularly feasible, or significantly inferior versions. I originally started out with anime anyways. Really just looking for interesting series. As anime/manga have a lot of overlap, I figured the anime thread should have a fair amount (beyond the recommendations linked at the top) of decent series, though it stands to reason focus would be on the series whose anime versions are of decent quality. | ||

I mean, the whole reason Arslan is compared to LoGH is that they were written by same guy (and in asimilar style) | ||

Also the original novel is going to be better than an adaption 99% of the time no matter how good the adaption if. It's extremely rare for an adaption to be better. I can only think of The Mist as an example of that happening. Read/Watch what you want but you shouldn't judge the original story based on an adaption. I don't think is true. I think people are just biased against adaptations lol | ||

Not that that's a bad thing, i should add. But if the good things are anime original then it's not so much a good adaption as just a good anime imho. | ||

Yes the LNs where even more pants on head weird but I liked the anime and don't think the adaptation was bad at all. If you read LNs first you obviously have to be hipster and hate on how the anime is different no matter what they do. | ||

DxD season 3 right now is a fucking awful adaption. I rarely get disappointed at adaptions unless they're legit awful or ruin what i enjoyed about a series to begin with. Also if an adaptions begins to go full anime original then i can't really call it a good adaption anymore regardless of how good the anime original stuff might be on its own, it's no longer a good adaption of the source material. | ||

Should we come up with a TLADT word for these? Like how Goody changed the definition of NTR! | ||

I know that they exist. I just think that people mostly exaggerate when it comes to that and make it sound like 99% of em are that shitty for the sake of "omg you dirty secondary, the source is so much better and I HAVE READ IT" It is a different medium and will be different. I would expect a Manga version of something to focus on different stuff than let's say the LN version of it or the anime version of it. At the very least the three excel in different fields imo, even if there are good examples for every style in all 3 of them. | ||

Holo doesn't quite have that "god presence" she does in the LN. Certain moments just are cuter and wreck me harder :<. I do think my enjoyment of the LN has been enhanced by watching the anime first though. Imagining Koshimizu, Ami say all the lines is a big bonus :D | ||

But most of them are shitty, you gotta remember most LN adaptions are 1 cour shows with minimum budget made to advertise the source material with zero chance of getting a sequel. A lot are just padded out infomercials. Only a few ln shows get multiple seasons or cours | ||
