I think both are fantastic works, but for me I really like the atmosphere the anime versions builds through the sounds. (And certain stories like the reverse rainbow benefit from colour).

Wasn’t really sure what to expect from a list like this. So was pleasantly surprised.

Chihayafuru 3 when...

I think the censored stuff is only a tiny fraction of the issue. It’s mostly people watching Naruto & whatever the season’s hot show(s) is.

Yep it’s pretty depressing.

I’d expected to see Baccano! since 2nd time around you have a better idea of what the hell is going on.

Dont forget the Puppy Cat & Paul Blart crossovers...

At least everyone dying will be the expected outcome this time.

Konami has a stollen franchise? Why did nobody tell me?

This is a metaphor, right?

And who can forget the time anthropomorphised drinks cans needed CO2 from kissing to stay alive!

Wait, I thought the horse girl anime trailer was for a mobile game?

Much like the Battle Angel Alita movie and the Monster TV series, I expect this to never happen.

I think step 4 is what the boob shows aim for anyway...

Blue + Red = Purple?

Never seen it, so can’t comment unfortunately.

Depends how you define successful.

The overly sexual stuff aside (which I agree was a bit much sometimes), the anime was unusual that it portrayed people of all shapes and sizes, and not just that everyone was pretty and good looking.

Only case I know of a foreigner publishing in Japan.
