I don't have problems with movies in general, especially not anime movies. Heck, like half of my 10/10's for anime are movies. However, the other reason is that, if a movie adapts some sort of source, it's often cutting stuff out to make it fit the length of a movie. What Lackbleeder said eases my mind quite a bit. If the next arc naturally fits movie length I'm fine with a movie as well. | ||

So I always get the feeling that the movie cuts less than a season would because they can just tell one, big story rather than be bound by that 12x20 minute formular | ||

I would agree that a 1-cour season covers more but like I said, at least in my experience the stuff it DOES cover is adapted worse due to constraints of 12x20minute. Weird cuts of source to fit everything into an episode rather than having the freedom to manage it reasonably elsewhere. Also, the movie experience is obviously better than watching it at home if it's something you really like and actually went ahead to watch RL | ||

But doing lets say what they did with Kizu and Heaven's Feel where they are doing 3 movies it works pretty well. | ||

Madoka #3 was great because anime original. Arguably that might have also worked in series format but I liked it Kizu1-3 was obviously amazing, especially if you watch it all in one go and have a good... what was it... 4 hours of movie? NGNL recently fit the movie format so much better than a series ever could. That vol was basicly made for movie format with them being able to focus on just that, nice fights with jibril that had way more quality (not the ironic usage) than a series could ever deliver so I haven't really had a bad experience with movies yet. Aside from that BL gundam movie | ||

Yes I know, it's anime-original. The point was on remakes vs anime-original. I would agree that a 1-cour season covers more but like I said, at least in my experience the stuff it DOES cover is adapted worse due to constraints of 12x20minute. Weird cuts of source to fit everything into an episode rather than having the freedom to manage it reasonably elsewhere. Also, the movie experience is obviously better than watching it at home if it's something you really like and actually went ahead to watch RL Funnily enough I thought Madoka's third movie was a lot worse than the series. I also agree with Sent that I prefer weird cuts over lots of content cuts. It takes a lot from the experience. Let's take Akira for example. It's a good movie but nothing more. Why? Because it left out the entire, arguably most interesting, middle part of the source... I think the movie was way better at presenting the story in a coherent manner but it doesn't help when it in turn leaves out lots of interesting world-building... I don't know if a 1-cour could have done it justice but it could have covered about double as much of the source, which would have helped quite a bit. I'm not really a fan of theaters so the last point is moot for me. //I just scanned through my MAL and realised that almost all of the movies I rated 8 and above are originals. The only ones that are adaptions are the ones that could adapt the whole thing without cutting anything: Nausicaä (obviously the manga was only written to enable Miyazaki to make a movie), Mimi wo Sumaseba (very short manga, I suppose lots of original content in the movie) and Kino no Tabi: Life goes on. I suppose the original Ghost in the Shell counts as an adaption but I would rather call it an interpretation if that makes sense? | ||

1) less weird cuts as well as 2) less content cuts So imo movies are better in both since they tend to focus on just one thing. They cover less source overall but they do the thing they cover in more detail and better executed as long as we're not talking about recap movies or an already existing series made again into a movie. I'd agree that the madoka movie was worse than the series but that was the nature of reviving a finished product rather than the format itself. The movie looked way better than the series, the plot was just shit | ||

If you ever have an instance where there is an anime series of X, and also a movie verison of X, then the anime series will always have more content because even a paltry 12 episodes has more time than an 2 hour movie. The only exception to this is when you start stacking on multiple movies on top of each other, or if its Nanoha the 1st Movie (but thats more because Nanoha s1 was pretty meh) no, to make this as easy to understand as possible after having tried to explain this 3 times in a row already because what I mean with that apparently still hasn't gotten to you guys: LN series adapted into series: 2-4 vols made into a 1cour series LN series adapted into a movie: 1-2 vols made into one movie that's been my experience so far with movies and what I mean with "movies do what they focus on more in detail". Hell, Kizu was 3 movies for 1 vol | ||

Hell, Kizu was 3 movies for 1 vol Sounds like, "the only 3 movies I've ever watched were very well paced and better in a movie format because 1. it was anime original so it was obviously paced for a movie, and 2. adapted 1 volume into 3 movies equivalent to a 1 cour season, and 3. idk, fuck ngnl." In short, I basically agree with everyone else. Movies tend to suck because 1. they take forever to come out for the western world to see, 2. are usually just recap of an anime series, 3. depending on how they make it, can cut out a lot of shit, or drag it out so long you wonder how it's even a movie (ie: 6x 1hr movies released 3-6months apart). But mostly #1. | ||
