I think no matter what, the book will always be better as it leaves you to picture it in your head. The film would be how someone else would picture it for you, which may not be to one's liking. That being said, I think it would be cool to make a comparison between manga and anime, it is easier to stay true to a manga for an anime than a real life movie.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The inner movie that you direct will always have massive value, and make for a better story. True, that really is the value of books over films, in general.
Have there been any manga/anime adaptations that you liked, or didn't like? I saw Ghost In The Shell recently, and really didn't like it. I remember the original, and was a fan, so the new movie version disappointed me.
I did not like ghost in the shell either, I felt that there were so many better stories in the series that they could have used but did not. I would say full metal alchemist brotherhood was a great adaptation from the manga. Bleach too, to a certain extent. If they were to adapt Ajin to a movie, now that would be cool.
Thanks for the suggestions. I may look out for Full Metal Alchemist - love the sound of that.
Go for full metal alchemist brotherhood, the original full metal alchemist was not great
Excellent, thank you.
