Anime and manga are two of Japan's biggest cultural exports, with many popular manga series being adapted into anime more than ever. While manga and anime projects often share the same premise, they can have outlining differences in style, pacing, and storytelling. In this blog post, we'll take a look at some popular manga series and compare them to their anime adaptations. With me giving my honest reviews
1. Naruto
Naruto is a classic shonen manga series written by Masashi Kishimoto with a diverse cast of characters and an engaging story. Despite its massive popularity, the Naruto anime adaptation struggled to maintain the manga's quality. Filler arcs were added to stretch out the episodes, and the animation quality dipped in later seasons. Fans of the series are often split on whether they prefer the manga or the anime adaptation. But I love the Animation more.
2. Attack on Titan
Attack on Titan, created by Hajime Isayama, has been one of the most popular manga and anime series in recent years. Unlike Naruto, the anime adaptation of Attack on Titan has stayed fairly true to the manga, with few changes or additions. Fans of the series appreciate the anime's impressive animation and soundtrack as well as the story's suspenseful and action-packed moments, But even though the anime didn't stay true to the ending
3. Fullmetal Alchemist
Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga created by Hiromu Arakawa. Its anime adaptation was created twice. The first anime adapted the manga up to a certain point and then continued the story in its own original direction. The newer adaptation, entitled Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, is a faithful adaptation to the manga's story and has been praised for its consistency. Fans of the series often praise the manga and Brotherhood anime as a whole while also acknowledging that the original anime adaptation had its own merits. And should be added to a watch list
4. One Piece
One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda, is best known for its lengthy run and the complex world-building and character development it has shown over the years. The anime has mostly done a good job of adapting the manga's content into enjoyable episodes, although it has been criticized for its pacing at times. For example, some fans feel frustrated by the use of prolonged flashbacks, which can interrupt the flow of the story. The animation which follows the manga style is wrack that's why fans call it mid-piece
5. Death Note
Death Note, written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, is a psychological thriller manga that was well-loved for its cat and mouse game between the protagonist and antagonist. The anime adaptation of the series faithfully captured the manga's storytelling style. Still, there were fewer details essential to character development that those who read the manga can notice that they left out some essential details. The ending of light was such a disappointment, enjoyed it though.
In conclusion, while anime adaptations of manga have the advantage of bringing a story to life hrough motion scenes and sounds, sometimes the original manga provides the best experience. The important thing is to discern the differences between both and seek out the best version of the story. But this opinions are for manga readers not anime watcher only.
