>>30247044>animation brings something new by default, it doesnt have to have new events or scenes or dialogue to bring something new.It's not new, it's exactly what you expect from a basic adaptation. Average voice acting, average music. What's the point ? It's just busywork. No creativity is used. It's not art, it's factory work.
>Good adaptation is good on its own, not requiring any comparison to source material. They are not made with assumption that audience has any experience with the original and reading source is not requirement for a complete and intended experience by the creators.It is 100% expected for most Japanese media, which is the subject here.
>So its not the opposite of what i said, you are just not understanding the idea. No one makes adaptations specifically for fans of source, with exception of something like dies irae fan funded anime.You don't understand how the anime industry works. Fans of the source material are the one financing the adaptation through buying blu rays and merch, after having bought the LN, manga, and sometimes even spend money on the gacha.
>That makes absolutely no sense , and pretty much no one believes this, you have some bad unpopular take there. So your argument is "bad unpopular take", got it. This probably explains why everyone constantly compares the SnK anime to the manga, or the Harry Potter movies to the book.
>Adaptations are all intended by the creators to be stand alone and theyre judged as such by pretty much every at least half-decent critic. No half-decent critic that's judging an adapation would miss out on comparing it to the original work, you're either being dishonest or consuming garbage criticism. Which wouldn't be surprising since most criticism is garbage by nature.
>People who review Game of Thrones review it as it is, ignoring books. Making comparisons to source is a completely different perspective with different goals.So either you've never talked to people that watched Game of Thrones, or the people around you are illiterate. I've never watched that series and have no interest in it, but I still kind of know the differences between the books and the series because people talk about that all the time. The books sold 90 million copies, the series was viewed by at least 50 million peoole. Do you actually believe that the intersection of these two sets is empty? No, not at all. Most people are in the intersection.
>And that is what the audience wants and that's what makes it a good adaptation. "Something is good because that's what the audience wants". No it's not, what's the point of having artists if they just do what the audience wants? Again, you're seeing art like some factory job. You should give up on anime and go watch marvel, your brain is set in concrete and can't adapt to new ideas.
>Again, you are doing what the other poster did and place no value at all on all the things manga lacks and anime adds. We already went over the fact that the manga doesn't "lack" anything, just like an anime doesn't "lack" the interactivity of a video game.
Refer back to the notion of factory work. Sure it's good and all but we already have the hellsing manga. Was an adaptation really necessary? Think about what they could have done instead. They could have been Ping Pong, but instead chose to be a basic adaptation. That's what I call a lack.
>The kind of person who would watch anime on 2x speed or while playing a video game. You cant appreciate all those aspects unless you give them full attention.Projecting? Watching something is a full time activity, and I don't get why you would x2 your anime. If you don't want to watch it don't watch it. But watching it 2x is like watching it on a phone on the bus, it's a terrible experience.
>bullshit, this just unjustified elitism. Ive read song of ice and fire, i have plenty of imagination.Sounds like I touched a nerve. Books have a higher entry bar than video, that's a fact. And books can reach a way higher level of complexity than video.
>Imagination isnt comparable substitute to real actors and soundtrack, it cant. You can't. You have no idea what other people can do with their imagination. I often get surprised by how lines are said by voice actors compared to how I imagined it, the difference between the voice I expected and what's in the adaptation, the OST being not exactly as I imagined, the buildings, the background, the characters. It would be weird for me to read a book and then go into an adaptation without any idea of what it's supposed to be like. As I've said before, you have to male conscious effort to engage with the text. Reading words is the first level.
