Katsura_da said: The anime seems to be faithful to the manga, and judging by the opening it looks like it will continue to follow the manga's plot.
You call it faithful when they introduced Yuuki in the second episode even before Toki, have him start his battle with Hitomi since the second episode and even have Yukihina work with Hitomi? -.-"
Well, unless you consider only Ogami and Sakura's side...it's...meh, still not really THAT faithful. They changed quite a lot of things from the manga. All comedic scenes in the manga got cut out (unless you consider how everyone misunderstood the two's relationship as comedic...) I'd say, only the first episode is kinda faithful to the manga.
Second episode...well, the scene with Ogami and Sakura "outside of school" is pretty similar to the manga. Inside school? Not really...Plus, they introduced Yuuki, who wasn't even supposed to appear during this arc AT ALL, and even have him start fighting with Hitomi (while the two actually are never together in the manga at all) as soon as second episode of the whole series.
Third episode...the thing inside school is OK. They changed the scene with Nenene a lot...more like, they actually change the location of the student council room as well, actually (I don't recall that building in the manga). The scene with yakuza is changed, and I prefer the manga one better. The manga has Ogami fight with the yakuza first, then the polices barge in, and Ogami started burning them as well. The anime...has the polices there in the first place. I kinda kill the effect and the manga one is more dramatic...It shows that the world isn't all pure like Sakura thinks and people, even the polices, won't listen to her word in a much more dramatic and much better way. The thing with police chief is also changed. Instead of having the entire police squad surrounding the building initially, and that chief came out of the car just to find his entire squad gone and Ogami is standing there to burn him (and Ogami did burn him), the anime has the chief's car as the only car at the very beginning, then Ogami came out to tell him that he killed all the yakuza already. There was a chase and in the end, Toki was the one who judged him.
AKA, nope it's not faithful. It won't be faithful. I mean, Yuuki and Rui aren't supposed to be in Hitomi Arc in the beginning, and both of them are present...and Yukihina...-_-" |
