The Dungeon of Black Company.

They took a funny, creative story filled with all sorts of great story direction and turned it into a slapstick anime with some of the worst dubbed voices, awful sound effects and stupid music. It was more of a pathetic parody then an adaptation.

Dagashi kashi

Uzumaki, Junji Ito Collection - the team barely finished two episodes before part of it left, which just proves Junji Ito's manga are cursed when it comes to adaptations

The Promised Neverland 2 season

Berserk (2016-2017), Gantz (2004) - It could have been a lot better, but I guess it's better than nothing.

Anything related to Made in Abyss...

IFKYK

Any anime where they used it as promo and left it on a cliffhanger. Like listen bro. If you're gonna do it, do it right. I aint gonna buy the Manga just to see what happens.
I sit here in my pajamas watching episode after episode only to be left with, a cliffhanger and a half eaten buttered biscuit.

so i'm a spider, so what?
just terrible pacing and terrible animation at the end

1st adaptations:

- Zetman

2nd generations:

- Berserk
- Hunter x hunter
- Digimon (netflix)
- Dragon Ball Super and probably Daima as well


These are the ones that come to mind, pretty sure there were a few more 1st adaptations to anime that brought really little of the original story or altered it in a way the characters start becoming shallower and almost purposeless.

As a long standing fan of the series, One Piece. The anime has some absolutely kickass moments in it, no doubt, but the anime overall just suffers way too heavily from horrible pacing issues that makes traffic jams and Disney World lines look like marathons. There's also some censorship issues here and there, as well as Toei changing certain scenes in ways that they shouldn't, but those usually aren't as problematic.

People do that?


As heavy as the subject matter can be, wouldn't people want the faithful adaptation?

Isn't that the problem with the anime rather than the manga?

They are trying to make up for it with better animation, but with pacing so slow its still extremely boring. Seriously, how many episodes consist of characters running forever and info dumping? I surely don't remember it taking so long in the manga.

dragon ball super anime came before manga, so anime is canon before manga

Well, yeah? It's just a slightly different take on what shouldn't have been animated (in this case, the sheer filler/padding that add nothing to the scenes).

The manga has it's fair share of issues too (primarily Oda's paneling structure, and sometimes he info dumps too much in certain chapters), but it's still much more efficient to read it than watch the anime. That's why I'm really hoping the remake by Wit Studios will properly adapt the series.

Oh okay, I didn't understand the thread, I thought it was something akin of "this was horrible in the manga, don't animate it".

The manga was more level-headed in my opinion and both were made with Akira Toriyama guidance and instructions. Sure some will say what came first is the cannon, to be honest i don't care.

The whole thing with Dragon Ball kai was just a tantrum on how GT did not align with Akira Toriyama vision in the end i was massively disappointed by these newer Dragon Ball.

we dont know if akira would made manga without toei anime, before 2010 we thought akira was retired and just earn dragon ball $$$ from video game and some bad movie similar to jk rowling with harry potter franchise

but seem after 2010 akira or toei want to continue the adventure with dragon ball, i suppose the video game was very popular to convince toei and akira to milk dragon ball

similar situation with naruto and boruto, they cant stop

feeling dragon ball going to be the japanese simpsons multi decades franchises
