LOL, yeah, and sometimes ppl start watching anime first and stops there so if they DO watch the anime only, they'll be able to get the real storyline ^o^v

Nothing annoys me more in anime than a plot change that is inferior to the original manga. Even if the plot change is decent, it still annoys the heck out of me

If it is done like they did it in Hunter X Hunter then yeah the same general plot with some good new content is fine. In Bleach and Naruto you can tell it's filler even if you haven't read the manga, with Hunter X Hunter you can't even tell if it's filler or not.

Mushishi did just fine with essentially no changes. Turning a manga into an anime can add whole dimensions to it before it even comes to changing the storyline: Music, Colours, Details, Sound, Voice Acting, Movement.

Really I'd like an answer somewhere in between exactly the same and same in general. I think it's a case-by-case thing as to whether the story needs changing from the manga to the anime. Sometimes you don't have the space to cover everything from the manga and sometimes you have the freedom to explore certain things in more depth. Sometimes the manga is still going whilst the anime is finishing up.

...

And I don't think that Sketchbook would have worked as well as an anime if they'd kept it in yon-koma.

in response to lambchopsil... I'd rather have *some* new material in the anime adaptation... like with Card Captor Sakura; half the cards in the anime weren't in the original manga, but it was better that way. However, with something like Bleach, where they create whole arcs of crap, and the series is super long already... absolutely not. Just stick to the manga! (yes I know that the series caught up to the manga blah blah blah...)

Anyway, for the new poll... I like funny notes, but they better be *really* funny. I don't like squealing fan-girl comments. I also don't like it if the translator leaves *too much* in Japanese, and then proceeds to translate every single one of them in notes. That just makes the manga waaay too cluttered. But I do like clarifying notes, like ones about food (I personally think food names should be left untranslated... it just sounds weird in English, in most cases), or about cultural notes about the time period if it's a historical manga if it's not already explained etc.

the poll should have a option "i like them " and a option " it's their right to put"
