This is retarded, fourteen chapters of development wasted on cliche garbage, it should've been a one-shot.

 

[Exile]

>it should've been a one-shot.
No, its a LN adaption.

 

[AbuHajaar]

Reminder that this series is best enjoyed with death metal played at max volume.

 

[gaigous]

@Exile Yes, I'm aware, big series are crammed into much smaller mediums all the time.

 

[kronix]

too much flashblack just fuck already

 

[Shinobu153]

Geez he managed to draw the whole circle while he was dying? You blind or something Vlad?

 

[Exile]

>big series are crammed into much smaller mediums all the time.

Well yes but this more of a problem of the medium differences, written can be very verbose describing a scene that will just take a panel on a manga or 10 seconds in anime but then LN pacing is around a volume were even individual chapters can vary in length, the problem that manga and anime face is the ending points since novels can have chapters that when adapted would just not take a whole chapter/episode so ending points became a problem, one way to solve that in manga is simply padding the chapters with more panels or just take more/less pages as anime have a much tougher time as unlike manga, they have very strict lengths.

 

[gaigous]

@Exile Holy crap, late reply, really sorry about that.

Tell that to the Manga publishers, they seem to lack this common sense with most adaptations.

@gaigous
I honestly don't know what are you talking about. This was perfectly sized three volumes of manga.

 

[gaigous]

@kwendy Do you really not know or have you already made up your mind and are just disagreeing with me?

 

[kwendy]

@gaigous Both? I can't see how making the story longer or shorter would benefit the content. Three volumes is pretty standart length for this medium.

 

[gaigous]

@kwendy I never said it would benefit the content, I don't see the benefit in adapting this in the first place, the LN was probably superior in every way, I said it was garbage in my first comment, If you boiled this down to its core plot points, it would've been fine as a one-shot, something this base is a waste of the time and money three volumes cost to produce/distribute.

 

[kwendy]

@gaigous That is the same as to say they should not had produced this at all, and it all comes down to personal preferences.
Like 'your taste is garbage" would be adequate symmetrical responce.
And no, this manga could not possibly be cramped into single chapter mainly because it has character progression. Current format allowed to tell coherent story.

Exactly.

This manga could not possibly be cramped into single chapter mainly because it has character progression.

On the level of Inaho from Aldnoah zero, which is to say, not enough to matter.

 

[kwendy]

@gaigous Regardless of the amount, if there is progression you can't make it instant. That would make whole thing pointless.

 

[gaigous]

@kwendy I'm gonna assume you've read one-shots and watched some abridged series before, so you can't be ignorant of someone taking giant arcs of character and plot progression and whittling them down to a couple pages/scenes.

 

[kwendy]

@gaigous
Those are mostly binary switch from one to two. Or porn.
Let's see... This series established main characters, established scene, made waypoints for main character, made several interaction with the world to establish mc relation with the world and following interactions to change the perspective on the world, strengthen relation between main characters, established extra character that plays important role to connect main characters in the continuous narrative and played key role in personal mc character arc, established backstory for villain in relation to one of MC's and set up the scene lead to villain's defeat. My guess is this isn't really one-shot material.

 

[Lynkaster]

wait, he had the time to draw that superb and complicated magic circle before vlad finally notices it ?! ?

 

[gaigous]

@kwendy ....what abridged series have you been watching? You need to establish who the characters are and then have them experience development, the processes length only affects the potential depth and quality of their progression, it can be instant, but that doesn't mean it's not character development.
