I’m a spider, so what was made into a 3d model anime and so much of the inner workings of the spider’s mind were lost. The manga had amazingly weird poses that made up for all the information lost from the light novel, and that just couldn’t be translated to 3d models.

I’m banking on how it went light novel -> manga -> anime rather than light novel -> anime -> manga or some other combination where technically the anime came first.

I got up somewhere around the end of the lava level (chapter 120? Early book 3?) before my translator gave up. I went and bought the books, but it’s just not the same.
Promised Neverland
I can’t believe they skipped the best arc of the manga only to rush to the ending with zero build up or explanation and then finish on a literal PowerPoint presentation.
They could have made like 2, maybe 3 seasons out of the remaining content, yet we got a measly 10 episodes of butchered storytelling.
This one hurts extra badly too because the first season was a critically acclaimed adaptation. If it was bad from the get go at least the expectations wouldn’t have been as high.
I think the manga itself had a decline in the quality of the plot. The start felt really thought out! But as it progressed, the plots started happening off screen and that smart thinking and troubleshooting that we saw in the first arc was nowhere to be seen.
Oh for sure, the latter half of the manga was not the highlight in the slightest. But the anime didn’t even bother caring to adapt it.
I’d rate the manga’s ending as mediocre, but the anime insults the viewer’s intelligence.
Hoshi no Samidare/Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. To be fair, I dropped it after a few episodes, so I don’t know if the adaptation gets better (but I bet it doesn’t).
FLCL
I still don’t know what happened in it, or why people like it. I’m assuming the manga was better as it couldn’t get much worse lol.
FLCL was an anime first and then got a manga adaption while the anime was still running. I remember it having a different plot than the anime. Kinda of a bore, but it sure wasted an afternoon or two.
FLCL… I would say it’s best to marathon it with friends so you can all complain how none of it makes sense. It starts making sense on the second watch, in the sense that a dream makes sense in the context of the dream.
Way of the House Husband. If I understand right, it was the original mangka’s choice to make it flow like a motion comic…but damn, it was basically a powerpoint presentation lmao
