ORIGINALS > ADAPTATIONS

A visual novel being adapted into an anime makes for a shitty anime. An anime being adapted into a visual novel would make for a shitty visual novel. It has nothing to do with whether it's a visual novel, anime, manga, book, film, play, vrscreen or simulated reality. Adaptations are simply shit.

Anime > picture books

The original film adaptation of Frankenstein disagrees with you. In spite of taking liberties with the source material, it produced something brilliant in its own right.

>liberties with the source material
YOU MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING!

>>3557240
I'd like to see Bakemonotagari VN, though. Maybe something like Sharin no Kuni?

>>3557288
>Bakemonotagari VN
That better not be written by Nishio Ishin, though.

>>3557222
>VISUAL NOVELS = ANIME
Fixed.
The only difference is that one has branching plots, the other doesn't.

>>3557410
You kind of have to have animation to be anime, that's why it's called anime, because it's animation.

>>3557416
I was talking more about plots than the formats themselves.

In the future, all media will be visual novels.

>>3557426
Focus is very different most of the time, presentation too since you usually rely on a single viewpoint in first-person, and VN medium does not expand on that many genres in comparison.

BROADWAY MUSICALS > MOVIES

>most of the time
Actually no, putting aside the porn with plot ones, most VNs are just high school love drama in an harem of females where, if you're lucky, you get a 1:2 ratio of males : females, but often you'll end with the mc, a silly sidekick and tons of females.
True, VNs focuses on single routes Animes on everybody, but only because animes try to satisfy a broader audience trying not to piss fanboys of one heroine aiming for the other one and just leaving everything in the dark, using the generic dumb male lead as an excuse.
How many time have you seen the generic tsundere getting angry over a pantyshot, or because the mc walked inside the bathroom/bedroom/locker while she was changing, etc etc.
Or the generic big tittied moè stereotype.
Or the generic childhood friend playing the tragic heroine.
Or the generic friend who doesn't give a fuck about the mc until she magically falls in love as well.
It's all the same shit.

...fuck

Now it makes sense.
And 'most of the time' applies not just in Romantic VNs, but others with different content.
When it's adapted, the pace, events and characterization are mixed in a way that makes the anime roll easier on the eyes while getting chunks from everywhere to cover bases.

So, even if they are shit, the adaptation creates new shit (from a different perspective at least).

Because, as you said, Anime focuses on a different (also broader usually) audience.

Far more often in anime than eroge actually.

>>3557483
Unless you are talking specifically about depicting shit accurately, no.
Stupid comparison.

>Uhmm yeah - ofc she's inferior to Tohsaka:

haha, good one. 7/10, slight anger.

Goddamn, why are you discussing this seriously, you were supposed to get angry.

>>3557222
>After Story series was really good.
Sure it is good if you just judged by itself. Compare to the VN it is shit.

>>3557240
Well not all adaptations fail. Azumanga Daioh was great. JC Staff did a great job with the 4koma source material.
Also madhouse did a great with the Fukomoto manga and Bible Black was great as a hentai anime.

>>3557495
It's /jp/.

>>3557496
>Compare to the VN it is shit.
Not really, no.

>>3557495
Because even a retard can raise a point that is interesting(or becomes so when you dispute his shitty arguments).
/jp/ is all about mood.

saji is what trolls get.

sage for bad troll. VN is better though.

Shuffle anime>VN I mean yandere Kaede is love

>>3557623
No primula love though.

>>3557623
I prefer VN's Kaede myself, but I'm starting to wonder if we'll see some yan Kaede later this month on Shuffle Essence.
Considering how popular it was...

>>3557218
gtfo stop spammin ur shitty board on Дnoпtalk.com u retartet fagit's btw moot log's all ur ip's lulz ur not relly anonimus enjoy ur party v&'s

>>3558029
and considering how whorish a company like navel is, i think those odds are not bad at all

I prefer the anime. The anime adaptions of Umineko, Tsukihime, FSN, Higurashi, etc. are all far better than the VNs.

>>liberties with the source material

The anime adaptations of those Orbit Soft VN's are completely insane. Plots ran out of order, an episode was completely done in black and white, protagonist roles were changed, etc. It was watchable simply because it was so bizarre. But in the end I feel it beats the pants off any KyoAni VN adaptation.

Now here's the crazy part: the director (Yuji Yamaguchi) also did the Fate anime and will do the UBW movie. I wonder what happened. Maybe he realized that he couldn't change too much or legions of TM fans would be frustrated.

Clannad was already not so good, and F/sn's anime wasn't terrible. Well, okay, it wasn't great, but most of it wasn't as cringe-worthy as something like Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

It's a rare adaptation that's greater than the original. It's true for books and movies, so no reason why it shouldn't be for picture books and Japanese cartoons.

>>3560346
>UBW movie
oh man, my interest is piqued for this one.
Will it be what everyone has dreamed of? or will it be yet another great catastrophe?

>>3560400
Given that it's an entire route in one film, I can't imagine it being what everyone dreamed of.
