They should restore X/1999 the TV series on Blu-ray QwQ

They should! *.* I'm also still hoping that CLAMP will one day finish the manga or at least tell us how the manga would have ended. This will stay a dream, though, I'm afraid. ;-;

Manga vs Anime

Anime adaptations always excite me. I mean it excites many of us. To be able to see your favorite character move and talk. To see those epic scenes come to life with epic soundtracks. For the most part, I'm not too fussy when it comes to anime. I'm also not super critical when they leave stuff out or make (minor) changes.

I've been watching Chainsaw Man, and it's been great so far. But there was something that I felt was missing at times. So I went back after last week's episode and looked back at those early manga chapters.

And it was then I realized. The manga had a rawness that was not showing on screen. So I thought back to other (recent) anime. Things like Kimetsu no Yaiba or Jujutsu Kaisen. Even something like Haikyuu or Gintama. And in those anime, I didn't feel like something was missing after watching them. So I went through the list of manga I've read and I realized there were actually other anime that left me also feeling like how I do about CSM. Naming the popular ones, One Piece, Tokyo Ghoul, and Magi. Even Daiya no Ace. (We are only talking about animation here, not how the stories are adapted.) And I think the reason is that those manga are very detailed. They leave you with a detailed image about certain scenes.

Let's take the scene below from CSM manga:

You can see the intensity of the building exploding. The size looks huge. The windows all shattering. It feels like utter carnage

Now here's the corresponding scene from the anime:

It lacks that feeling of havoc. Let's take another scene from the manga:

Denji looks like utter shit. I can see that. It evokes an emotion from me that I just don't get from the anime scene below:

It doesn't have the rawness, grittiness or darkness that I get from the manga. (Not the best words to describe what I mean, but that's all my brain could come up with.)

When scenes are animated, it kinda cleans the image up. Or well gets simplified. And it's understandable why. It's a moving scene. It doesn't need to be so detailed. To include all the finer details would require too much time, effort, and money. It's just not needed or worth it.

One of the first things I ever realized when I first started watching anime adaptations, was how hair generally looked nicer in manga. And it was due to the simplification that it would loose texture or ‘flowiness’ in anime.

But take a look at this scene from Jujutsu Kaisen manga:

And I'm sure a lot of you have seen this from the anime:

In this instance I get the same feel and emotion from both.

By the way I'm not criticizing or trashing CSM. I'm only using CSM as an example. I think those scenes with Power's back story for instance was very well done. In fact maybe even better than the manga. The emotions on her face made me feel something more than I did in the manga. It's just something every now and then that doesn’t hit. An anime that comes to mind now is Vinland Saga. There were moments that were simply amazing, but every once in a while it was a little, flat. I also understand in manga they have to convey something to you in a short amount of time. So a lot of effort gets put into each panel to create the necessary emotion or atmosphere. Things in black and white also create a different look.

I know all this but I just feel a bit annoyed. You can't fault the anime, but you sometimes don't get the emotion you get from the manga. I mean sure, I'll watch and enjoy the anime. But in the back of my mind I'll have this other image and emotion.

Anyway I've rambled long enough. Basically it sucks that my brain is doing this to me. But I suppose the good thing is, it doesn't stop me from watching it.
