| Hi there, I've read the first 3 and 1/2ish volumes, and I haven't really had the time or energy to continue them. (I read them a while ago). Light novels aren't really my thing, but I am interested in where the story goes. Is the anime a viable way to experience the story? I've heard plenty of people say that it's a shit adaptation, but I think I would actually finish it if I watched it. So in your (LN reader) opinion, is the anime a good adaptation? Does it change things? Does it leave a lot out? Is it bad in some other way? Or are people just overreacting/hating on it? I understand that some things might be left out, but I don't want to waste my time on the anime if its some half-assed, badly paced adaptation. Thanks for any help. |

| The adaptation of the series isn't actually shit, at least not until season 2 where the real "cutting things off" is happening. First season got problems with adapting things it shouldn't have and in a different way it should, like an episode adapting part of volume 4.5 when the 1st season got to like volume 3 and changed the character who was interacting with the MC. Second season cut a lot of interactions and removed tons of shit lmao. As if the anime is bad in general, well, when your source material is absolutely hideous the anime will obviously be too. |
| I don't think so. An anime adaptation can pick up on the cut content in the next entry. An adaptation must know what works best for the medium they are using. |
"The Yang Sword cuts what I want to cut." "Look, it's my victory again." |
| The anime is pretty much inferior to the LN in every single way. |

Welp lets see how s3 does this year ending Yr1. I just wish they will adapt everything they can. This is the key part of the first year. |

| it failed to wow people until like the last episode. It didn't do that well in polls during summer where it wouldn't regularly occupy the top 10. Also mystery and wits seem flawless on paper but don't translate well to anime. Since retrospective reveals after just one cours is too fast, and the whole season can almost feel fillerish. Other ln series not only have action but more overarching villains. So the hype died really fast. |
| what i would say if this helps, although the reply is kinda late but what happens is that in order to fully enjoy the story imo is important to know the context of specific scenes, to know the details in order to understand how things ended up the way it did and to understand the actions and motivations of the character. So the anime leaves out a lot of context and details, so the story in the anime will seem a little bit bland imo. The anime tends to skip a lot of ayanokouji thought process and internal monologues. |
