Frick. I actually finished those books and blocked them from my memory. Thanks a lot.

I actually enjoyed the first Hunger Games book...but I swear YA fiction is getting worse and worse. Maybe I'm just trying the wrong books...eh.

Reading mangas I would always wonder things like what colour of clothes they're wearing and how their voices would be like. Anime answers them for me.

The only downside to anime are the fillers. Not all are bad though.

Color chapters and covers are usually good for that...even though they're only occasional.

I think the merits of anime over manga seem simple on paper, but in practice it's usually a lot different. Poor pacing can be pretty jarring, and ruin a good story flow. If the anime isn't well budgeted, it might also be trying to cram a ton of canon content into a few episodes with little regard for how well the scenes might be set up in the source material, which is beyond frustrating.

In a perfect world, adaptations would deliver the same feelings as the source material, and then some, but I just find that's very rarely the case.

I know I'm alone with that opinion. But I don't care.

The manga just gets tedious in the middle, pacing is much better in anime form.

Akira.

The movie just had so much effort put in, the animation is jaw-dropping even now.

I don't see why the heck people like them. Maze Runner, Hunger Games, and Divergent were written HORRIBLY. I'll admit, the Hunger Games movies just don't fit my taste. As for Maze Runner, the plot is overused.

As said earlier, Boku dake ga inai machi (Erased) is an interesting case.

The anime has a way better artstyle, really awesome VAs and OP/ED and even adds a few good scenes. But in the other hand, it skips other important scenes or informations and really changes the end of the story (and not really in a good way IMO).

An anime I liked is Gantz, I think it's really good compared to the manga, mainly because it's great to see everything in action (even if the anime ended with only one season and a not great alternative ending).
